Note: The minimum voltage to start a 120 mm TriCool™ fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan speed switch to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage, which may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ fan set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool™ circuitry below 5V.

4.3Optional Fans

There are two optional 120 mm fan mounts—the side fan (on the left side panel) and the middle fan (at the rear end of the HDD cage). We recommend using Antec 120 mm TriCool™ fans and setting the speed to Low. These two fans should be installed so that the air is blowing into the case.

Side Fan — the side fan opening enhances graphics card cooling. Just snap a fan into the bracket on the side panel so that it blows air into the case.

Middle Fan — the middle fan is designed to cool the CPU, graphics card or the power supply, depending on which drive bays you install the HDD cage into. You can use the middle fan on any drive cage you do NOT install hard drives in. This design is especially useful in cooling dual graphics card implementations.

1.To remove the middle fan mount, press in on the clips that secure the bay to its cage.

2.Place a 120 mm fan inside the mount and press it into place so that
