It’s possible that your new case will differ slightly from the descriptions in this manual. This isn’t a problem; it’s simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct. Disclaimer This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer enclosures. For more comprehensive instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the user’s manuals that come with those components. The VSK‐2450 is powered by a VP450 power supply. A variety of industrial‐grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected shutdown state. This means that you will need to power off the power supply and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user‐replaceable fuses in either the VP450 or VP450P. Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please use reasonable precaution. This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your motherboard user’s manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before proceeding, check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take before installing the motherboard. While installing hardware, keep your case on a flat, stable surface. 2 ...

ARDWARE NSTALLATION UIDE ETTING Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface with the rear of the case facing you. 2. Remove the side panels by first removing the thumbscrews at the rear of the case. Then, grip each panel at the top and bottom and slide it toward the rear of the case until it detaches from the chassis. 3. To remove the front bezel, locate the three plastic tabs on the left side of the bezel. They fasten the front bezel to the metal chassis. Release the tabs from the top down to release the bezel. Swing the bezel open to about 45° and gently lift the bezel upward, and it will come off easily. Set the bezel in a safe place. Note: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels. OWER UPPLY NSTALLATION 1. With the case on its side, align your power supply with the power supply mounting location near the top panel of the case. Note: Power supplies with fans on the bottom of the power supply will need to be mounted so that the fan is facing the bottom of the case. 2. Attach the power supply to the case with the screws provided. ... -
Page 7: Motherboard Installation
OTHERBOARD NSTALLATION 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 correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel provided with the case isn’t suitable, please contact your motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel. 3. Align your 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 its functionality. 4. Remove your motherboard by lifting it up. 5. Install standoffs as needed and put the motherboard back in. 6. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips‐head screws. Note: The VSK‐2450 comes with a CPU cutout on the motherboard tray, which will allow you to change your CPU heatsink without removing the motherboard. 3.5” NTERNAL EVICE NSTALLATION The VSK‐2450 provides space for up to six 3.5” hard drives. Before you begin, remove the side panels ... - Page 8 2.6 E 3.5” XTERNAL EVICE NSTALLATION There is one 3.5” drive bay available just below the 5.25” drive bays at the front of the case. Before you begin, remove the side panels and front bezel of the case as described in section 2.1. Slide your 3.5” device into the drive bay from the front and align the screw holes on the devices with the corresponding holes in the chassis. Fasten the device in place with the provided screws. Connect the appropriate power and data cables. 5.25” XTERNAL EVICE NSTALLATION There are three externally accessible 5.25” drive bays. Before you begin, remove both side panels and front bezel as detailed in section 2.1. 1. Remove the drive bay faceplate by applying pressure to the inside of the plate until it pops free of the bezel. 2. Slide your 5.25” device into the bay from the front of the case. 3. Secure the drive into position in the drive cage using the provided screws. 4. Mount any other 5.25” devices accordingly. 5. ...

Page 10: Rewiring Motherboard Header Connections
EWIRING OTHERBOARD EADER ONNECTIONS There may come a time when you need to reconfigure the pin‐out of a motherboard header connector. Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or some other front panel connector such as the Power Button connector. Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard user’s manual or your motherboard manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin‐out needed for your connector. We strongly recommend making a notated drawing before beginning work so that you can recover if your work gets disturbed. Determine which wires you need to remove in order to rewire your plug to match the USB pin‐outs on your motherboard (refer to your motherboard user’s manual). Working on one connector at a time, use a very small flathead screwdriver or similar tool to lift up on the black tab located beside the gold posts (squares). This will allow you to easily slide out the pins from the USB plug. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors, or pins, slowly remove the pin from the connector. Repeat these steps for each wire you need to change. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors or pins, slowly reinsert the pin into the correct slot of the connector then snap closed the black tab that was lifted in step 1. Repeat these steps for each wire you need to change. 9 ... -

O 27.9 dBA 3.6W 1500 (Max.) (51.2 CFM) (0.047 inch‐H O) Low 0.0843 m³ / min 0.486mm‐H2O 0.18A 16.9 dBA 2.16W 900 (30.1 CFM) (0.02 inch‐H2O) Note: The minimum voltage to start a typical TwoCool™ fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the Fan‐Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage, which may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a Two‐Cool™ fan set on Medium or Low to a fan‐control device may result in the fan not being able to start because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TwoCool™ circuitry below 5V 4.2 (TAC 2.0) THERMALLY DVANTAGED HASSIS DESIGN GUIDE This chassis uses a thermal air guide that conforms to the Intel Thermally Advantaged Chassis design guide. This guide is designed to provide ventilation directly to the CPU and graphics card through the integrated air duct located on the side panel. 10 ... -
Page 12: Optional Fans
4.3 PTIONAL There are a total of two optional 120mm fan mounts—two front intake fans (at the front of the HDD cage). We recommend using Antec 120mm speed control fans and setting the speed to Low. These fans must be installed so that the air is blowing into the case. Note: In order to build a quieter system, we recommend NOT installing the optional fans unless it is necessary for cooling. If you choose to install them we recommend using Antec 120mm speed controlled fans and setting the speed to Low. 4.4 ASHABLE IR ILTERS Occasionally, it will be necessary to wash the air filters. Not washing the filters may result in high system temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend checking the air filters at least once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on environmental conditions and system usage. Users who run their systems 24/7 will have to check their filters more often than those who don’t run their systems every day. Front Air Filter – There is an air filter located behind the front bezel. To remove the filters: 1. Remove the front bezel as listed in section 2.1. 2. Remove the screws in the center of the front bezel to release the air filter. ... - Page 13 Antec, Inc. 47900 Fremont Blvd. Fremont, CA 94538 USA tel: 510‐770‐1200 fax: 510‐770‐1288 Antec Europe B.V.
