Disclaimer
This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec's Computer Enclosures. For
more comprehensive instructions, please refer to the user's manuals which come
with your components and drives.
Basics
1. Take the case out of the box.
2. Remove the Styrofoam.
3. Remove the plastic bag.
4. Place the case upright with the power supply fan at the back facing you on a
stable flat surface.
5. Remove the two thumb screws which fasten the top cover onto the case. These are
the only screws you need to remove to open the case. Keep these screws separate
from the other screws.
6. Grip both sides of the top panel with your hands. Slide and lift it up.
7. From the top of the case, right in front of the power supply, there is a tab on top
of each side panels. Lift and pull the side panels out.
Note: Do not use the tab as a handle to lift the case.
8. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring (LED's, etc.),
an installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag containing more
hardware (screws, brass standoff, plastic stands, etc.).
Motherboard Installation
This manual is not designed to cover CPU or RAM or expansion card installa-
tion. Please consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions
and trouble-shooting.
1. Lay the case down so that the open side is up. You should be able to see the
drive cage, and power supply.
2. Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for your mother board. If the
panel provided is not suitable for your motherboard you may order different
styles from Antec directly. Please visit www.antec-inc.com under "Service and
Support" and then I/O panels, which will show you the available I/O
configurations.
3. Line up motherboard with standoff holes, and determine which ones line up
and remember where they are. (Note: Not all motherboards will match with
all of the provided screw holes, and this is not necessary for proper
functionality. In other words there will likely be extra holes.)
4. Lift up and remove your motherboard.
5. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with your
motherboard.
6. Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided metallic Phillips
head screws.
8. Your motherboard is now installed into the case.
Power Connections
ATX power supplies have a single 20-pin (single large) power connector to the
motherboard. This is set up as a double row of 10 pins.
1. Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector to your motherboard.
1
LED's and Front Panel Leads
1. Reset (labeled RESET SW) connects to your motherboard at the RST
connector. The label should be facing the front of the case, and for all of the
following connectors as well.
2. Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connector is located behind the
Reset connector.
3. Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on
the motherboard.
4. Speaker (labeled SPEAKER) connector is behind the PWR connector.
5. Hard Drive LED (labeled HDD.LED) connects to the IDE or HDD connector.
3.5" Device Installation
1. Slide your 3.5" floppy drive into the top drive bay from the back to the front
until it stops. Make sure the disk eject button of the drive is firmly seated
against the eject button of the case.
2. With one of your hands holding the drive, fasten the floppy drive with the
screws provided onto the case.
3. Find a small 4-pin white connector on the power supply and connect it into
the male 4-pin connector on the floppy drive.
4. Install your other 3.5" devices to the drive bays accordingly.
5. Connect a 4-pin large white connector from the power supply to the
male 4-pin connector on each of the devices.
5.25" Device Installation
1. Looking from the rear of the case you can see some metal grills. Carefully
use a screw driver through the metal grill and gently push the plastic drive
bay outwards until it comes off.
2. Use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it breaks off.
3. Fasten your 5.25" device into the drive bay with screws provided.
4. Repeat the same procedure for other devices.
5. Connect a 4-pin large white connector from the power supply to the male
4-pin connector on each of the devices.
IDE Cable Connection
This is for IDE devices only.
1. After you have connected the devices to the power supply, you need to
connect the IDE cables between the devices and the motherboard.
2. For hard drives and CD ROMs use the 40-pin IDE ribbon cables. For
floppy drives use the 34-pin ribbon cables. These should come with
your devices and have a red strip on side. When you connect a ribbon
cable to a device, make sure that the red strip is toward the power
connector.
3. The side that attaches to devices should be the side that has 2
connectors. This will enable you to connect another device if you wish.
4. Connect the far end of the cable to your motherboard on the IDE port,
either IDE 1 or IDE 2.
Fan Installation
The KS-382 case has two optional fans that can be installed: 80mm fan in front
and 60mm fan at the rear.
Note: Antec Cooling Fans blow in the direction of the side the Antec logo.
