ABLE ANAGEMENT
There is a cable management compartment behind the 3.5" drive cage.
You can tuck or route excess cables in this compartment. This will keep
the cables from interfering with airflow in your case and help with
cooling.
1. Open the side panel as described in section 2.1.
2. Locate the cable management compartment with cable ties
located behind the walls of the external 3.5" drive cage.
3. Tuck or route your excess cables to the compartment.
4. Use cable ties to hold them in place.

OTHERBOARD NSTALLATION
The Sonata III 500 comes with four motherboard standoffs
already screwed in to the most common mounting locations.
1. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up.
The drive cages should be visible on the right side of
the case, with the power supply in the upper left.
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 functionality.
4. Now remove your motherboard by lifting it up.
5. Install standoffs if needed and put the motherboard
back in.
6. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with
the provided Phillips-head screws.
Caution: Make sure to remove any unused motherboard standoffs. They may come into contact
with the back of the motherboard and electrify your case exterior if left connected.
Note: The Sonata III 500 comes with a CPU cutout on the motherboard tray, which will allow
you to mount oversize CPU heatsinks, and also change your CPU heatsink without
removing the motherboard.
Note:
The motherboard tray has standoffs pre-installed for the most common ATX mounting
locations. Extra standoffs and screws are included.
