3.Power Pins: There are two power pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as Power, Vcc or +5V. Connect the two +5V connectors to the two power pins. Each connector can go to either pin.
4.Ground Pins: There are two ground pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as GROUND or GND. Connect the two GROUND connectors to the two ground pins. Each connector can go to either pin.
Note: On some motherboards, there may be two ground pins on one row. You don't need to use all of them. Make sure to connect one ground pin on each row.
5.Data Pins: There are two plus data pins, one on each row, and two minus data pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as USBD2+, USBD3+ and

3.5" Device Installation
There is a 3.5" drive cage inside the case. It can hold 2 external 3.5" drives and 2 internal drives.
1.Pull the quick release lever towards the rear of the case and release the cage. Put the cage on a flat surface.
2.Mount your floppy drives or other external devices in the top two drive bays.
3.Mount your hard drive or other internal 3.5" devices in the lower drive bays.

5.25" Device Installation
1.There are four metal plates covering the front openings of the 5.25" drive bays. Each comes with a screwless drive rail attached on the front of it. For each drive bay you wish to use, carefully use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it breaks off.
Note: Be careful of the newly exposed metal where the grills were attached, as these areas are likely to be sharp. Don't break off the plates covering the drive bays that you are not using now.
2.Remove the drive rail from the metal plate by gently lifting the release tab (left end) with one finger and sliding the drive rail to the left. Attach the drive rail to the right side of the 5.25" device by carefully aligning the drive rail as illustrated in Figure 1 and pressing along the spring wire from back to front to seat it as in Figure 2. Make sure the release tab is facing towards the front plate.
3.On the drive cage, find the purple Locking Slider. Squeeze and slide the Locking Slider toward the front of the case to open the Locking Slider.
4.Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.
5.Slide the Locking Slider towards the rear of the case to lock the drive into position.

Data Cable Connection
After you have connected the devices to the power supply, you need to connect the data cables between the devices and the motherboard. The data cables are not included with the case; we include this information only as an aid.
1.For hard drives and
2.The side that attachs 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, or the FLOPPY port.
Fan Installation
The case has one optional 80mm cooling fan mount in the rear and one optional 80mm cooling fan in the front.
The rear fan should be installed so that the air is blowing out of the case.
1.Attach the fan with screws into the rear fan mount.
2.Connect a large
