IEEE1394 (FireWire, I-Link) Connection

There are six wires with connectors coming out from the front mounted IEEE1394 port of your case. They consist of 2 sets of twisted pair cables - TPA (Twisted Pair A) and TPB (Twisted Pair B), a power cable (VP), and a ground cable (VG).

1.Locate and identify the pin-out of the IEEE1394 port on your motherboard.

2.Power Pin: Connect the VP connector to it.

3.Ground Pin: Connect the VG connector to it.

4.Data Pins: There are two sets of data pins. Each set consists of a plus and a minus pin. They are usually marked as TPA+ and TPA-, TPB+ and TPB-.

a.Connect the TPA+ connector to the TPA+ data pin and TPA- connector to the TPA- data pin.

b.Connect the TPB+ connector to the TPB+ data pin and TPB- connector to the TPB- data pin.

3.5" Device Installation

1.On the sides of the front bezel there are two tabs. Press the tabs to remove the top half of the bezel.

Note: You can see the external drive bays now. There are three 5.25"drive bays and one 3.5" drive bay assembly which can hold two 3.5" devices.

2.Unscrew the two silver thumbscrews located on the bottom of the drive bays and slide out the 3.5" drive bay assembly.

3.Install your floppy drive into the bottom drive bay. Mount the other 3.5" device into the top drive bay.

4.Slide the whole assembly back into the case and fasten it with the thumbscrews.

5.Inside the case, there is an internal 3.5" drive cage. It can hold three 3.5" devices. Pull the quick release lever towards the rear of the case and release the cage. Put the cage on a flat surface. Note: If you want to have a cooling fan in the drive cage, you should install the fan before installing the drives.

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

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

8.Find a small 4-pin white connector on the power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin connector on the floppy drive.

9.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on each of the other devices.

5.25" Device Installation

1.There are three metal plates covering the 5.25 drive bays.

2.Carefully use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it breaks off. Note: Don't break off the plates covering the drive bays that you are not using now. Be careful of the newly exposed metal where the grills were attached as these areas are likely to be sharp.

3.Take two of the Drive Rails and mount them onto the sides of the 5.25" device. Make sure the metal portion is angled away from the device and facing forward.

4.Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a clip.

5.Mount the other devices accordingly.

6.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on each of the devices. After you have finished the installation, carefully use your thumbs to push the plastic drive bay covers off the bezel and attach the bezel back into the case. Like the metal plates, take off the covers that covering the drive bays you are using now.

IDE Cable Connection This is for IDE devices only.

After you have connected the devices to the power supply, you need to connect the IDE cables between the devices and the motherboard.

1.For hard drives and CD-ROM's, use the 40-pin IDE ribbon cables. For floppy drives, use the 34-pin IDE ribbon cables. These should come with your devices and have a red strip on side indicating pin number 1. When you connect a ribbon cable to a device, make sure that the red strip is toward the power connector.

2.The side that attaches to devices should be the side that has 2 connectors. This will enable you to connect another device if you wish.

3.Connect the far end of the cable to your motherboard on the IDE port, either IDE 1 or IDE 2.

Fan Installation

The case comes preinstalled with one 80mm cooling fan in the rear and one 80mm cooling fan on the side panel, or one 80mm cooling fan in the rear. The fans are installed in the manner that the air is blowing out of the case.

Fan Only Connectors: We recommend our users to connect up to three case fans to the Fan Only connectors so the TruePower supply can control the speed of the fans. When the temperature inside the case is low, the fans will rotate at a lower speed for quiet operation. When the temperature rises, the fans speed up to cool the case down. DO NOT connect other electronic equipment to the FAN ONLY power Connectors.

Optional Cooling fans: The case has two optional 80mm cooling fans that can be installed in the front of the case. One of the optional fans is located inside the 3.5" drive cage. You should install the fan first before you mount your drives into the cage. Install the fans at the manner that the air is bowing into the case to create a steady airflow from the front to the rear.

Note: Antec cooling fans blow in the direction that the Antec logo is facing.

1.With the Antec logo facing inwards, drop the fan into the fan bracket and push it in until it clips on.

2.Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on each of the fans.

Washable Air Filter Maintainence

From time to time it will be necessary to wash the installed air filter. Not washing the air filter will result in higher system temperatures and stability problems. We recommend checking the air filter once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on system usage (users who's systems run 24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often then those who don't use their systems every day).
