To install the external 5.25" device:
1.Remove the
2.Insert the 5.25" device and align the screw holes with the rear set of holes on the cage. Fasten the drive with the included screws (see Photo 1).
3.If you choose not to use the included universal drive bay cover, align the screw holes with the front set of holes on the cage and fasten the drive with the included screws.
To install internal 3.5" drives:
You can install up to three internal hard drives. We recommend that you install your main drive horizontally under the 5.25" bay.
1.Insert the drive into the horizontal 3.5" drive bay and fasten it with the special screws (those with the rubber grommets). Note: The special screws will reduce noise by absorbing vibrations from your hard drive, but they can only be used with the horizontal bay. (For the two vertical bays, you'll need to use normal screws.) In addition, there are two strips of thermal tape located on each side of the horizontal bay, which will help transfer heat from the HDD to the cage (see Photo 2).
2.You can also install two hard drives vertically on either side of the 5.25" bay. A strip of thermal tape is also preinstalled in each of these drive bays. Fasten the drives as described above. Note: You may not be able to use the additional
Connecting Data Cables
After you've connected the devices to the power supply, you need to connect the data cables between the devices and the motherboard. To achieve the best
rounded cables such as Antec Cobra Cables. The cables that are included with your drives should have a red strip on one side indicating pin number 1. If you use these cables, make sure that the red strip is on pin 1, usually toward the power connector.
Optional Low Speed Cyclone Blower
We've included an optional low speed Cyclone Blower for users who may want or need additional cooling for systems built into the Aria. The Cyclone Blower can be installed in any of the expansion slots.
1.Install the blower in the AGP expansion slot if it is empty.
2.If only an AGP card is used, install the blower in the third expansion slot (skip one slot).
3.If an AGP card and another card are used (sound card or TV card), install the blower in the 3rd slot, and install the other card to the 4th expansion slot (the last slot).
4.If an AGP card, and two other cards are needed, install the blower to the slot right next to the AGP slot (2nd slot).
Optional Adjustable Fan Bracket
Aria includes an optional fan bracket designed for use with aftermarket CPU heatsinks. This fan bracket can accommodate fans up to 92mm, but we suggest you use an 80mm fan.
To use the optional fan bracket:
1.Remove the adjustable sliding rails from the tool box and attach them to the bottom of the power supply.
2.Attach a cooling fan to the bracket. Be sure that the fan is blowing in the proper direction; most heatsinks perform best when the fan is blowing air down onto the heatsink. For best results, please contact your heatsink manufacturer. Many fans have arrows on the side to show the direction of the airflow and the rotation of the fan blades.
3.Adjust the position of the fan over the heatsink.
