Installing the Motherboard

This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.

1.Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power supply should be visible.

2.Make sure you have the correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel provided with the case isn't suitable, please contact your mother- board manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.

3.Line up your motherboard with the standoff holes, and remember which holes are lined up. Not all motherboards will match with all of the provided holes; this is normal, and won't affect functionality. (In other words, there will likely be extra holes.)

4.Remove your motherboard by lifting it up.

5.Screw the brass standoffs into the threaded holes that line up with your motherboard. Do not overtighten the standoffs. Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience.

6.Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.

7.Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head screws. Your motherboard is now installed.

Connecting the Power and LED

The power supply conforms to the latest ATX12V Version 2.0 standard. It is also backwards-compatible with previous ATX form factor power supplies. Before you connect the power supply to any of your devices, please consult the appropriate user manuals for your motherboard and other peripherals.

The power supply is also equipped with a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect it to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You may monitor the speed of the rear power supply fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the monitoring software that's supplied with your motherboard. Note: At low temperatures, the fan may run as slow as 950RPM. At these speeds, some motherboards may not properly detect the fan speed and may generate false warnings of fan failure. To ensure proper monitoring of the fan, please check your motherboard manual.
