5. Mount the other devices accordingly.
6. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin
connector on each of the devices.
7. Replace the left side panel of the case.
Chassis Air Guide
The new case includes a chassis air guide, to provide cooling air directly to the
CPU. The air guide consists of three parts: an upper duct, flange, and lower duct.
If you prefer, you can adjust the distance between the lower duct and the CPU, for
maximum cooling efficiency.
You may also install a 80mm intake fan between the air guide and the case's side
panel to further improve the system's cooling airflow. To install the optional fan:
1. Remove Chassis Air Guide from the side panel
2. Attach the fan to the side panel (see picture 3).
3. Using the fan screws, attach the flange of the air guide
to the fan (see picture 4).
4. Connect a large 4-pin peripheral connector from the
power supply to the make 4-pin connector on the fan.
Cooling System
The Rear Exhaust TriCool™ fan:
The NSK 6500 comes with one 120mm TriCool™ fan
preinstalled. 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 power supply to the male
4-pin connector on the fan. Note: The default setting of
the fan is Low. We recommend this speed to maximize
quiet computing.
Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V.
We recommend setting the fan speed to High if the fan will be connected to a fan
control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some of Antec's power
supplies. A fan-control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it.
The voltage may start as low as 4.5V 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.
