Antec Plus 550, Solo White 5.25” Device Installation, External 3.5” Device, Cable Organizer

7.Repeat the same procedure for the other drives as necessary.

8.Put the front fan cage back to the case. If you plan to mount the optional 92mm case fans, you should do it now. See Cooling system section for fan installation.

5.25” Device Installation

There are four external 5.25” drive bays (one with 5.25” to 3.5” adapter). The top two drive bays come with a universal drive door that allows you to hide your optical drive behind the door.

1.Carefully remove the metal plate covering the drive bay.

2.Make sure the clip on the end of the drive rail is angled away from the device and facing forward. Put a plastic drive rail on each side of the 5.25” device. Use the rear set of the screw holes on the drive rails for the top two drive bays and use the front set of screw holes for the lower two drive bays.

3.Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.

4.Mount the other devices accordingly.

5.Connect a large 4-pin connector from the PSU to the male 4-pin connector on each of the devices.

External 3.5” Device

To install a floppy or other external 3.5” device to the 5.25” to 3.5” adapter:

1.Slide the adapter out.

2.Place the drive to the adapter and fasten the drive with screws provided.

3.Find a 4-pin floppy power connector on the PSU and connect it to the male 4-pin connector on the devices.

Cable Organizer

There are six hooks (cable organizers) located at the back of the hard drive cage. Loop any long cables you have around the hooks to keep them tucked away. This will prevent tangles and improve airflow through the case. To get to the cable organizer you need to open the right side panel.

Cooling System

The TriCool™ fan:

The case includes one 120mm TriCool™ fan installed in the rear. This fan has a three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet, performance, or maximum cooling. (See specifications below.) The fan is installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the PSU to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.

Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend setting the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some of Antec’s power supplies. A fan-controlled device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage supplied to it. The voltage may start as low as 4.5 V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start. The already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool™ circuitry below 5V.
