HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

2.1SETTING UP

1.Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface with the rear of the case facing you.

2.Remove the side panels by first removing the thumbscrews at the rear of the case. Then, grip each panel at the top and bottom and slide it toward the rear of the case until it detaches from the chassis.

3.To remove the front bezel, locate the three plastic tabs on the left side of the bezel. They fasten the front bezel to the metal chassis. Release the tabs from the top down to release the bezel. Swing the bezel open to about 45° and gently lift the bezel upward, and it will come off easily. Set the bezel in a safe place.

Note: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels.

2.2POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION

1.With the case on its side, align your power supply with the power supply mounting location near the top panel of the case.

Note: Power supplies with fans on the bottom of the power supply will need to be mounted so that the fan is facing the bottom of the case.

2.Attach the power supply to the case with the screws provided.

2.3CABLE MANAGEMENT

There is a cable management compartment behind the 3.5” drive cage. You can tuck or route excess cables in this compartment.

1.Open the right side panel as described in section 2.1.

2.Locate the cable management compartment with cable ties located behind the walls of the 3.5” drive cage.

3.Tuck or route your excess cables to the compartment. This will keep the cables from interfering with airflow in your case and help with cooling.
