Front Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-L connector to this pin.
8.
Rear Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the RET-R connector to this pin.
9.
Rear Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect RET-L connector to this pin
Note: Your motherboard may not support rear speaker output. In this case, you
do not need to connect RET-R and RET-L.
3.5" Device Installation
There are two external 3.5" drive bays right under the 5.25" drive bays. Press
the two metal tabs on the sides of the 3.5" drive tray and pull the 3.5" drive
tray out of the case. You may wish to remove the bezel door to facilitate this.
1.
Remove the drive bay cover from the drive bay that you intend to install
the drive.
2.
Mount your floppy drive or other external device into the drive bay.
Repeat the same procedure for the other drive as necessary.
3.
Slide and lock the drive tray back into the case.
4.
Find a small 4-pin white power connector on the power supply and connect
it to the male 4-pin connector on the device.
There are 4 internal drive bays right under the external 3.5 drive bays for hard
drives. Each comes with an individual drive tray which mounts through the
open side panel of the case.
1.
Squeeze the metal clips on each side of the tray and slide the tray out.
2.
Mount your hard drive or other internal 3.5" device into the drive tray
through the bottom rubber grommets with the special screws provided.
Don't over-tighten. Over-tightening the screws will harm the vibration and
noise reducing ability of the rubber grommets.
3.
Slide and lock the tray back into the case.
4.
Find a 4-pin white molex connector on the power supply and connect it
to the male 4-pin connector on the device.
5.
Repeat the same procedure for the other drives as necessary.
Note: You can mount the drives with either the connectors facing you or
away from you. If you mount them with the connectors facing away from
you (into the case) you may wish to connect the data cables before sliding
the drive into the locked position.
Note: Mounting the drives with the connectors facing you (towards the
open side of the case) may make squeezing the release clips more difficult.
5.25" Device Installation
There are three 5.25" drive bays. Each drive bay comes with a plastic cover
with two drive rails attached behind the cover.
1.
Remove the plastic drive bay cover and remover the drive rails from the
cover. You may wish to remove the bezel door to facilitate this.
2.
Mount the drive rails onto the sides of the 5.25" device. Make sure the metal
portion is angled on the outside and facing towards the front of the device.
3.
Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.
4.
Mount the other devices accordingly.
5.
Connect a large 4-pin white connector from the power supply to the male
5
4-pin connector on each of the devices.
Data Cable Connection
After you have connected the devices to the power supply, you need to connect
the data cables between the devices and the motherboard. The data cables are
not included with the case; we include this information only as an aid.
1.
For hard drives and CD-ROM's, 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 one side indicating pin number 1. When you
connect a ribbon cable to a device, make sure that the red strip is on pin
1, usually toward the power connector.
2.
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.
3.
Connect the far end of the cable to your motherboard on the IDE port,
either IDE 1 or IDE 2, or the FLOPPY port.
NOTE: If you wish to connect a 3.5" drive and a 5.25" drive on the same
IDE channel, we recommend that you use IDE cables which provide 10 or
more inches of flexible cable between connectors or the start of any
protective boot. We further recommend that you mount the drives such
that the 3.5" drive is in the topmost internal 3.5" bay and that the 5.25"
drive is in the bottom 5.25" bay
Fan Installation
The case has one 120mm cooling fan mounted in the rear with vibration
reducing rubber grommets, and one optional 120mm cooling fan mount in the
front right behind the 3.5" internal drive bays.
The rear fan is installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect a
4-pin connector from the power supply to the connector on the fan. We recommend
connecting the fan to TruePower's Fan Only connector so that Low Noise
Technology can control the RPM of the fan according to the temperature
changes within the case.
The front fan should be installed so that the air is being pulled into the case
from the front. We recommend NOT installing the optional fan unless necessary
for cooling, since it will create additional fan noise. However if you do wish to
install the front fan, please install the fan before you install the internal drives.
Washable Air Filter Maintenance
There is a washable air filter behind the front bezel, accessable from below. To
remove, tilt the case backwards so you can use your fingers to squeeze the
two tabs on the filter to remove it. We recommend washing the air filter as
often as required by environmental conditions, at least once a month initially.
Failure to keep the installed air filter clean will result in higher system
temperatures and possible system stability problems.
