Set Up

1.Take the case out of the box. Remove the foam packing material and plastic bag.

2.Place the case upright with the power supply fan at the back facing you on a stable flat surface.

3.Remove the two thumbscrews fastening to the top cover of the case. Set these screws aside and keep them separate from the other screws.

4.Slide the top panel toward the rear of the case and lift it up.

5.There are tabs at the top of each side panel located in front the power supply. Lift and pull the side panels out using the tabs.

6.Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring (LED’s, etc.), an installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag containing more hardware (screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.).

Motherboard Installation

This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.

1.Lay the case down so that the open side is up. You should be able to see the drive cage and power supply.

2.Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for the motherboard. If the panel provided is not suitable for the motherboard, please contact the motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.

3.Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes, and determine which ones line up and remember where they are. Not all motherboards will match with all of the provided screw holes, and this is not necessary for proper functionality. Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience.

4.Lift up and remove the motherboard.

5.Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with the motherboard.

6.Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs.

7.Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head screws.

8.The motherboard is now installed.

Connecting the Power and LED

The power supply conforms to the ATX12V v2.2 standard. Before you connect the power supply to any of the devices, please consult the appropriate user manuals for the motherboard and other peripherals.

1.You will need to route the cables from the power supply to the rest of the case. You can use either of the two holes in picture 1. One is narrow and will work for all types of power and interface cables except PCI-E or the main 20 or 24-pin

connector. Those larger connectors must be routed through the side.

2.Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and the 4-pin 12V connector to the motherboard. If the motherboard uses a 20-pin connector then detach the 4-pin attachment on the 24-pin power connector (see pictures 2 and 3).
