The Dual Chamber Structure
The case is divided into two chambers — the motherboard chamber and the power
supply chamber to separate heat and noise from each section for maximum quiet
and cool operation.
Set Up
1. Take the case out of the box. Remove the biodegradable carton and plastic bag.
2. Place the case upright with the power supply fan at the back facing you on a
stable flat surface.
3. Remove the two thumbscrews fastening to the top cover of the case. These
are the only screws you need to remove to open the case. Set these screws
aside and keep them separate from the other screws.
4. Slide the top panel toward the rear of the case and lift it up.
5. At the top of the each side panel, in front of the power supply, there is a tab.
Using this, lift and pull the side panels out to remove.
6. 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, RAM, or expansion card installation.
Please consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and
troubleshooting.
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 the motherboard. If the panel
provided is not suitable for the motherboard, please contact the motherboard
manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3. Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes, and determine which ones
line up and remember where they are. Not all motherboards will match with all
of the provided screw holes, and this is not necessary for proper functionality.
Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience.
4. Lift up and remove the motherboard.
5. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with the
motherboard.
6. Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head
screws.
8. The motherboard is now installed.
Connecting the Power and LED
The power supply conforms to the SFX version 3.0 standard. Before you connect
the power supply to any of the devices, please consult the appropriate user manu-
als for the motherboard and other peripherals.
1. Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and the
4-pin to the motherboard as needed. If the moth-
erboard uses a 20-pin connector; detach the 4-pin
attachment on the 24-pin power
connector (see pictures 1 and 2).
