Note: Your motherboard's USB pin layout may differ from this common
standard. If you're unsure of your motherboard's layout, please contact
technical support at your motherboard's manufacturer.
2. Plug the 5-pin USB connectors onto the header rows so that the RED wire
is on Pin 1 (Power, or +5V). The second header may be reversed (Power
pin at the opposite end of the row) so be careful when you plug in both
connectors.
Connecting the IEEE 1394 (FireWire, i.Link) Ports
There are six wires with connectors attached to the front-mounted IEEE 1394
port of the P160. They consist of 2 sets of twisted pair cables: TPA (Twisted
Pair A) and TPB (Twisted Pair B,) a power cable (VP,) and a ground cable (VG)
1. Locate and identify the pin-out of the IEEE 1394 port on your motherboard.
Note: DO NOT connect the IEEE 1394 connectors to your motherboard's
USB header. This could cause permanent damage to your motherboard.
2. Connect the VP connector to the Power pin.
3. Connect the VG connector to the Ground pin.
4. There are two sets of data pins. Each set consists of a plus and a minus
pin. They are usually marked as TPA+ and TPA-, TPB+ and TPB-.
a.
Connect the TPA+ connector to the TPA+ data pin and TPA- connector
to the TPA- data pin.
b.
Connect the TPB+ connector to the TPB+ data pin and TPB- connector
to the TPB- data pin.
Connecting the Audio Ports
The front panel speaker and microphone connection features an Intel-standard
10-pin connector, with 7 additional individual wires and connectors. If your
motherboard supports Intel's standard onboard audio connector, you can plug
the 10-pin connector directly into the board. Otherwise, you'll need to attach
the 7 individual connectors to the motherboard. Here's how:
Locate the internal audio connectors on your motherboard or sound card.
Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.
1. Connect the MIC connector to the microphone power pin.
2. Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to the microphone input pin.
3. Connect the AUD GND connector to the ground pin.
4. Connect the FPOUT-R connector to the Front Right Speaker Out Pin.
5. Connect the FPOUT-L connector to the Front Left Speaker Out Pin.
6. Connect the RET-R connector to the Rear Right Speaker Out Pin.
7. Connect the RET-L connector to the Rear Left Speaker Out Pin.
Note: If your motherboard doesn't support rear speaker output, you don't
need to connect the RET-R or RET-L connectors.
Connecting the Temperature Display Sensor
There are two temperature sensors connected to the front display. Every 3
seconds, the temperature display cycles automatically between them.
1. There are two 26" (66 cm) long temperature sensor wires. For best
temperature monitoring, we suggest you connect one sensor to the hard
3
drive and the other to the motherboard.
2. There is a 26" (66 cm) long cable with a switch connected to the front
control panel. The switch toggles the temperature display between
Celsius (C°) and Fahrenheit (C°). The default setting is Celsius (C°).
Installing 5.25" Devices
The P160 features four external 5.25" drive bays. You'll find the drive rails
inside the toolbox.
1. Remove the front bezel by grasping it at the bottom and swinging upwards.
2. Carefully remove the sheet metal covering the drive bay by twisting it back
and forth until it separates from the case. Watch your fingers; when you
remove the sheet metal, there may be a sharp metal burr remaining where
the plate was attached.
3. Mount two drive rails onto the sides of the 5.25"
device. Make sure the metal tab angles out away
from, and faces towards, the front of the device.
Note: If you want to mount your drive flush to the
front bezel, use the first screw hole on the rails
(marked #1 in Photo 2) to mount the drive rails. If
you want to use one of the color-coordinated CD-
ROM cover plates included with the P160, mount
the rails with the second screw hole (marked #2 in Photo 2).
4. Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.
5. Mount the other devices accordingly.
6. Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male
4-pin connector on each of the devices.
Installing External 3.5" Devices
You'll find two external 3.5" drive bays underneath the 5.25" drive bays.
1. With the front bezel removed, unscrew the two thumbscrews at the sides
of the 3.5" drive tray and pull the 3.5" drive tray out of the case.
2. Mount your floppy drive or other external device in the drive tray. If needed,
repeat the same procedure for the other
drive.
Note: We've included one color-coordinated
floppy drive cover plate with the P160. If
you want to use the cover plate, leave
enough room for it when mounting the
drive (as indicated by #1 in Photo 3).
If you want your device to sit flush to the bezel front, use the other set of
mounting holes (as indicated by #2 in Photo 3).
3. Slide the drive tray back into the case and fasten it with the thumbscrews.
4. Remove the drive bay cover from the drive bay that you intend to use.
5. Find a small 4-pin white power connector on the power supply and connect
it to the male 4-pin connector on the device.
Installing Internal 3.5" Devices
The P160 features four internal hard drive bays under the external 3.5 drive
bays. Each bay includes an individual drive tray which mounts through the
