Device Installation, Data Cable Connection

2.Consult your motherboard manual to get each of the pin-out positions.

3.Power Pins: There are two power pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as Power, Vcc or +5V. Connect the two +5V connectors to the two power pins. Each connector can go to either pin.

4.Ground Pins: There are two ground pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as GROUND or GND. Connect the two GROUND connectors to the two ground pins. Each connector can go to either pin.

Note: On some motherboards, there may be two ground pins on one row. You don't need to use all of them. Make sure to connect one ground pin on each row.

5.Data Pins: There are two plus data pins, one on each row, and two minus data pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as USBD2+, USBD3+ and USBD2-, USBD3- or USBP2+, USBP3+ and USBP2-, USBP3- respectively.

a.Connect the 1 +D connector to any of the two plus data pins. It can go to either of the plus pins.

b.Connect the 1 -D connector to the minus data pin in the same row as the plus data pin that 1 +D connector has just connected to.

c.Repeat the same procedures to connect the 2 +D and 2 -D to the motherboard. Make sure they are in the same row.

3.5" Device Installation

There is a 3.5" drive cage inside the case. It can hold 2 external 3.5" drives and 2 internal drives.

1.Pull the quick release lever towards the rear of the case and release the cage. Put the cage on a flat surface.

2.Mount your floppy drives or other external devices in the top two drive bays.

3.Mount your hard drive or other internal 3.5" devices in the lower drive bays.

4.Slide and lock the drive cage back into the case.

5.Find a small 4-pin white connector on the power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin connector on the floppy drive.

6.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on each of the other devices.

5.25" Device Installation

1.There are four metal plates covering the front openings of the 5.25" drive bays. Each comes with a screwless drive rail attached on the front of it. For each drive bay you wish to use, carefully use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it breaks off.

Note: Be careful of the newly exposed metal where the grills were attached, as these areas are likely to be sharp. Don't break off the plates covering the drive bays that you are not using now.

2.Remove the drive rail from the metal plate by gently lifting the release tab (left end) with one finger and sliding the drive rail to the left. Attach the drive rail to the right side of the 5.25" device by carefully aligning the drive rail as illustrated in Figure 1 and pressing along the spring wire from back to front to seat it as in Figure 2. Make sure the release tab is facing towards the front plate.

3.On the drive cage, find the purple Locking Slider. Squeeze and slide the Locking Slider toward the front of the case to open the Locking Slider.

4.Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.

5.Slide the Locking Slider towards the rear of the case to lock the drive into position.

6.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on each of the devices.

7.Repeat this procedure to mount other devices.

Attaching the screwless Drive Rails.

Data Cable Connection

After you have connected the devices to the power supply, you need to connect the data cables between the devices and the motherboard. The data cables are not included with the case; we include this information only as an aid.

1.For hard drives and CD-ROM's, use the 40-pin IDE ribbon cables. For floppy drives, use the 34-pin floppy ribbon cables. These should come with your devices and have a red stripe one on side indicating pin number 1. When you connect a ribbon cable to a device, make sure that the red stripe is on pin 1 of the device, usually toward the power connector.

2.The side that attachs to devices should be the side that has 2 connectors. This will enable you to connect another device if you wish.

3.Connect the far end of the cable to your motherboard on the IDE port, either IDE 1 or IDE 2, or the FLOPPY port.

Fan Installation

The case has one optional 80mm cooling fan mount in the rear and one optional 80mm cooling fan in the front.

The rear fan should be installed so that the air is blowing out of the case.

1.Attach the fan with screws into the rear fan mount.

2.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.

The front fan should be installed so that the air is blowing into the case from the front.

1.Squeeze the tabs on the fan cage to release it.

2.Drop the fan into the cage and push it in until it snaps in.

3.Snap the cage with fan back into its place.

4.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on each of the fans.
