To Install the internal 3.5” drives:

You can install up to three hard drives internally. We recommend installing your main drive under the 5.25” bay horizontally.

1.Insert the HDD to the drive bay under the 5.25” bay and fasten the drive with the special screws (the one with the rubber grommet.)

Note: The special screws will absorb the vibration

from the hard drive to lower the noise. There are two strips of thermal interface tape on each side of the bay to dissipate heat away from the HDD

to the cage. This will lower the HDD temperature. (See Picture 4)

2.You can also install two hard drives vertically side by side of the 5.25” bay. Thermal interface tape is also preinstalled to each of the drive bay. Fasten the drive vertically so that it hangs down from the cage.

Note: You may not be able to use the additional vertically mounted 3.5” drive bays if they interfere with other components you install in the case.

Top Case Vent

There are vents in the top panel to allow air exchange for the case.

Note: Please leave at least 1” (2.5cm) between the top of the case and anything that could block airflow to the power supply. This is required so that the power supply will have sufficient cooling.
