6.Mount your other 3.5" devices into the drive cage.

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

8.Find the proper connector on the power supply (SATA, floppy, or standard 4-pin) and connect it to the male connector on your device.

5.25" DEVICE INSTALLATION

1.Take off the plastic drive bay covers and metal plates as described above.

2.Take two of the drive rails and mount them to the sides of the 5.25" device. Make sure the metal portion is angled away from the device and facing forward.

3.Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear the rails click.

4.Mount the other devices accordingly. Connect the proper connector (SATA or standard 4-pin) from the power supply to the male connector on the device.

THE COOLING SYSTEM

The TriCool Fan

The case includes one 120mm Blue LED TriCool fan installed in the rear. This fan comes with a three-speed switch that lets you balance quiet performance with maximum cooling

(See specifications below). The fan is installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.

Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend setting the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector from an Antec TruePower supply. A fan control device regulates fan speed by varying the voltage to it, and the voltage may start as low as 4.5 V to 5V. Setting the TriCool speed to Medium or Low and connecting it to a fan control device may result in the fan not being able to start as the already low voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry to lower than 5V.

This case comes with two 80mm front fan mounts and one 80mm side fan mount should you choose to install additional cooling fans.

Front 80mm fan mounts

There are two plastic fan cages. One of them is located inside the 3.5" drive cage to cool your hard drives directly. You should install this fan before you mount your HDD drives into the cage. Install both front-mounted fans by dropping the fan to the cage and pushing it in until it snaps in place. These fans must be installed so that the air is blowing into the case. We recommend using Antec 80mm TriCool fans to balance quiet performance with maximum cooling. (See our website for more product information.) Note: Please choose your fan speed wisely. In most cases, a medium or even low speed setting will be enough to supply adequate cooling.
