NSK 1480

Quiet Desktop Slim Case

The Power Supply

The NSK 1480 comes with a 350-Watt power supply (PSU) that features universal input and active PFC. This includes dual 12V output rails that deliver safer and more reliable output to the system’s components. This PSU has achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency. It reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. In addition it has a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVP (under voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).

The Rubber Pads/Stands

There are four rubber pads inside the tool bag. If you want to place the case horizontally on a desktop, stick the rubber pads to the bottom of the case. There are also two stands so the case can stand up vertically. Place the case onto the stands with the optical drive bay at its top position. Make sure the stands do not block the two air intakes on the bottom.

Setting Up

1.Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface.

2.Remove the thumbscrews from the back of the top panel. Slide the panel towards the rear to remove it from the case.

3.Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR etc.), and installed I/O panel and a power cord.

The Dual Chamber structure

Upon opening the top panel, you will find that the case is divided into two separate chambers—the motherboard chamber and the HDD chamber. The power supply is designed to directly suck fresh air from outside the case. This unique feature combined with the dual chamber structure isolates heat and noise from each section, resulting in much quieter and cooler operation than a traditional desktop case. Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid excessive force and hurried or careless motions. Please take reasonable precautions.
