6.
Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7.
Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-
head screws. Your motherboard is now installed.
Power/LED Connections
The Antec TruePower supply is an ATX12V form factor power supply. An
ATX12V power supply has a single 20-pin Main Power Connector, a 6-pin AUX
Power Connector and a 4-pin +12V Power Connector to connect to the
motherboard. It also comes with five to seven 4-pin Peripheral Power Connectors
and two or three 4-pin Floppy Drive Power Connectors for your drives. It is
backwards compatible to previous ATX formfactor power supplies. If your
motherboard does not support the AUX Power Connector or the+12V Power
Connector, you can still use this power supply.
The power supply is also equipped with a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect it
to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You may monitor the speed
of the rear power supply fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the
monitoring software that comes with your motherboard. Note: The speed of the
fan may be as low as 1500 RPM when temperatures are low. At these speeds
some motherboards may not be able to properly detect the fan speed and may
generate false warnings of fan failure. Please refer to your motherboard manual
for proper fan monitoring set up.
1.
Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector (and AUX or +12V connectors
if appropriate) to your motherboard.
2.
The Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) connects to your motherboard at
the RST connector. The colored wire should be attached to Pin 1 and the
black wire to ground. This applies for all of the following connectors as well.
3.
Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on
the motherboard.
4.
The Speaker, Power LED and Hard Drive LED connectors share a single
ribbon cable. Attach the Speaker (labeled SPEAKER), Power LED
(labeled POWER) and HDD LED connectors to the appropriate headers on
your motherboard.
5.
The front panel of this case comes with two decorative blue LEDs beside
the flip door concealing the front USB/FireWire connectors. Locate the
Molex 4-pin male connector from the bezel and connect it to a 4-pin
connector from the power supply. The LEDs will light when you power the
system.
USB Connections
There are 8 wires with connectors coming out from the front mounted USB
ports of the case.
1.
Locate the internal USB header on your motherboard. It consists of 10
pins in two rows. Note: On some motherboards one or two pins may be
marked as NC. This indicates no contact. It is an empty pin. You don't
need to use it. On some motherboards one pin may be missing on either
one or both rows. Don't worry about it. You only need to connect to 8 pins.
2.
Consult your motherboard manual to get each of the pin-out positions.

3.
Power Pins: There are two power pins, one on each row. They are usually
marked as Power, Vcc or +5V. Connect the two +5V connectors to the
two power pins. Each connector can go to either pin.
4.
Ground Pins: There are two ground pins, one on each row. They are usually
marked as GROUND or GND. Connect the two GROUND connectors to
the two ground pins. Each connector can go to either pin.
Note: On some motherboards, there may be two ground pins on one row.
You don't need to use all of them. Make sure to connect one ground pin
on each row.
5.
Data Pins: There are two plus data pins, one on each row, and two minus
data pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as USBD2+,
USBD3+ and USBD2-, USBD3- or USBP2+, USBP3+ and USBP2-,
USBP3- respectively.
a. Connect the (1)+D connector to any of the two plus data pins. It can
go to either of the plus pins.
b. Connect the (1)-D connector to the minus data pin in the same row
with the plus data pin that (1)+D connector has just connected to.
c. Repeat the same procedures to connect the (2)+D and (2)-D to the
motherboard. Make sure they are in the same row.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire, I-Link) Connection
There are six wires with connectors coming out from the front-mounted IEEE
1394 port of your case. 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 IEEE1394 port on your motherboard.
2.
Power Pin: Connect the VP connector to it.
3.
Ground Pin: Connect the VG connector to it.
4.
Data Pins: 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.
Audio Connections
There is an Intel standard 10-pin connector (with also 7 individual wires with
individual connectors) attached to a gray wire leading from the front panel
speaker and microphone connectors. If your motherboard supports Intel's standard
onboard audio connector, you can plug the 10-pin connector directly onto the
board. For non-Intel standard audio connections, you will need to plug the 7
individual connectors into the motherboard.
Instructions for non-standard audio connections
1.
Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card.
2.
Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.
3.
Microphone Power Pin: Connect the MIC connector to this pin.
4.
Microphone Input Pin: Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to this pin.
5.
Ground Pin: Connect the AUD GND connector to this pin.
6.
Front Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-R connector to this pin.
