2.
Remove the screws from the right side panel.
3.
There are two latches on the side panel. Slide the latches towards the front
of the case and swing open the panel.
4.
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.
Installing the Motherboard
This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please
consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and
troubleshooting.
1.
Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power
supply should be visible.
2.
Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for the motherboard. If the
panel provided is not suitable for the motherboard, please contact the
motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3.
Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes, and remember which holes
are lined up. Not all motherboards will match with all the provided holes; this
is normal, and won't affect functionally.
4.
Remove the motherboard by lifting it up.
5.
Screw the brass standoffs into the threaded holes that line up with the
motherboard. Do not overtighten the standoffs. Some standoffs may be
pre-installed for your convenience.
6.
Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7.
Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Philips-head
screws.
8.
The motherboard is now installed.
Connecting the Power and LED
The power supply conforms to the ATX12V Version 2.2 standard. If the
motherboard has a 20-pin power receptacle, detach the 4-pin attachment on the
24-pin power connector, see pictures 1 and 2. Before you connect the power
supply to any devices, please consult the appropriate user manuals for the
motherboard and other peripherals.
1.
Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and the 4-pin or 8-pin 12V con-
nector to the motherboard as needed. If the mother-
board uses a 20-pin
connector; detach the 4-pin attachment on the
24-pin power connector (see pictures 1 and 2).
Note: the detachable 4-pin section cannot be used
in place of a 4-pin +12V connector.
2.
Connect the Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) to
the motherboard at the RST connector. Polarity
(positive and negative) does not matter for switches.
3.
Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on the
motherboard.
4.
Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connector is located behind the Reset
connector. For LEDs, colored wires are positive (+). White or black wires are
negative (–). If the LED does not light up when the system is powered on,
try reversing the connection. For more info on connecting LEDs to your
motherboard, see your motherboard manual.
5.
Hard Drive LED (labeled H.D.D. LED) connects to the IDE connector.
