Hard disk Drive Installation

There is a hard disk drive bracket with soft silicone grommets inside the HDD chamber that can hold two hard drives.

1.Remove the HDD bracket from the chamber by removing the four screws on top of it.

2.Mount the left side of the hard drives (facing from the front of the hard drive) onto the drive bracket through the top silicone grommets with the special screws provided. (See picture 3) Note: Don’t over-tighten the screws. Over-tightening the screws will reduce the vibration and noise-dampening ability of the

rubber grommets.

3.Place the HDD/bracket assembly back into the case. Each hard drive should rest on two soft silicone grommets preinstalled at the bottom of the case. It is optional, but not necessary to attach the hard drives with screws through the bottom grommets.

4.Fasten the bracket using the screws provided.

5.Find a 4-pin Molex or a SATA connector on the power supply and connect it to the corresponding power connector on the device.

5.25” Device Installation

NSK 2480 incorporates a rapid-release Flip Up Drive Cage inside the power supply chamber for easy drive installation. The cage can hold two 5.25” devices.

To install an external 5.25” device:

1.Remove the flip-up drive cage.

2.Remove the corresponding drive bay cover to which you intend to install the device.

3.Insert the 5’25” device into the cage. Fasten the drive with the screws included.

(See Picture 4)

4.Find a 4-pin Molex or a SATA connector on

the power supply and connect it to the corresponding power connector on the device.

Cooling System

The 120mm TriCool™ fans

Picture 4

The NSK 2480 comes with two 120mm TriCool fans preinstalled. These fans sit right next to the CPU and are installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Please leave at least 1” (2.5cm) between the right side of the case and anything that would block the exhaust from these fans. Failure to do so may cause the chamber or CPU to overheat.

These fans have a three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet, performance, or maximum cooling. (See specifications below.) Connect a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan. Note: The default setting of the fans is Low. We recommend this speed to maximize quiet computing.
