TX1050B/TX1088AMG – SUPER MID TOWER CASE
This case is designed to meet Intel's Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) design guide requirements. Your new case also features a quiet ATX12V version 2.0 compliant power supply, with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the ON ( I ) position before you boot up your computer for the first time. Normally, you won't need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn your computer on and off by using the soft switch on your computer case. If your computer crashes and you can't shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O) position, to clear the fault, then reboot.
[Applies only to models designed for sale in the European Union:
SmartPower 2.0 series and TruePower 2.0 series power supply models designed for the EU include Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code
SETTING UP
1.Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface. The power supply fan should be at the back, facing you.
2.(Not applicable to models designed for the European Union): Before installation, check the red voltage switch setting on the power supply. It should match your local voltage (115V for North America, Japan, etc. and 230V for Europe and many other countries). If it doesn't match, please change the setting. If you don't you could damage your equipment and void your warranty.
3.Remove the thumbscrews from the right side panel. Unlatch the panel and remove it by swinging it out. Note: Don't use your fingernail to pry or lift the panels.
4.Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR etc.), and installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag containing more hardware (screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.), and eight drive rails.
