Installing the Motherboard  
This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult  
your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.  
1. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power  
supply area should be visible.  
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. Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes. Determine which holes 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. Remove your motherboard by lifting it up.  
5. Install standoffs as needed and put the motherboard back in.  
6. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Philips-head  
screws. Your motherboard is now installed.  
Cable Organizer  
Instead of running all the power cables into the upper chamber, they can be organized  
between the motherboard and right side panel.  
1. Remove both side panels.  
2. Choose the cables you would like to pass through the holes behind  
the motherboard tray and pull them out of the power supply chamber towards  
the right side of the case.  
3. Route them up through the gap in the bar and use the cable ties to hold them  
in place.  
4. Feed the cables back through the insertion point nearest the destination of  
the cable. Connect the cable and then pull the slack back to the right side of  
the case.  
5. When finished, secure all cables with ties and put the right panel back in place.  
Connecting the Ports and LEDs  
1. Connect the Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) to your motherboard at the  
RST connector. Polarity (positive and negative) does not matter for switches.  
2. Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on  
the motherboard.  
3. Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connects to the PWR header on  
the motherboard. For LEDs, colored wires are positive (+). White or black  
wires are negative (–). If the LED does not light up when the system is powered  
on, try reversing the connection. For more info on connecting LEDs to your  
motherboard, see your motherboard manual.  
4. Hard Drive LED (labeled HDD LED) connects to the hard drive activity header.  
Connecting the USB Ports  
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front USB ports.  
This Intel standard connector is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally reversed, as  
long as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header. Connect the  
10-pin connector to your motherboard headers so that the blocked pin fits over the  
missing header pin.

Connecting the eSATA Port  
This case comes with an eSATA port in the front of the case to connect to your  
external SATA devices. You will find a SATA connector on a cable attached to the  
front eSATA ports. Connect it to a SATA connector on your motherboard.  
Connecting the Audio Ports (AC’97 and HDA)  
There is an Intel standard 10-pin AC’97 connector and an Intel 10-pin HDA (High  
Definition Audio) connector, you can connect either of them to your motherboard  
depending on the specification of the motherboard. See instruction below:

Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your audio header pin layout and  
make sure it matches the table. Even if your system supports both audio standards,  
you may only connect one connector, not both.  
Installing the Drives  
With the front bezel facing you, swing the front door out. It can swing 270  
degrees so the door will be parallel with the side of the case. You can see one  
5.25” external drive bay at the top and two 5.25” drive bays at the bottom of the  
3
case. Inside the case there are two 3.5” drive cages located in the upper chamber,  
which can house up to five hard drives.  
Note: We recommend using the top 5.25” drive bay for your main 5.25” device.  
5.25” Device Installation  
There are three 5.25” drive bays that need a pair of drive rails for each drive. The  
top 5.25” bay has a depth limitation of 170mm. Most new CD/DVD drives are not  
longer than 170mm, but older bigger drives will have to be installed in one of the  
lower two bays.  
1. Carefully remove the plastic drive bay cover and the metal plate covering the  
drive bay. There is a hole in the metal plate that will allow you to insert a  
standard or Phillips screwdriver and rock the plate back and forth to break the  
connector points.  
2. Mount the drive rails onto the sides of the 5.25” device. Make sure the metal  
portion is angled towards the outside of the case.  
3. Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.  
4. Mount the other devices accordingly.  
5. Hook up an appropriate connector from the power supply to the power connector  
on each of the devices.  
Upper HDD Installation  
1. Remove the thumbscrew holding the upper HDD cage.  
2. Pull the HDD cage from its position by pulling the ring towards you.  
3. You can mount three hard drives inside the cage. They are mounted vertically  
with the silicone grommets sitting at both sides.  
4. Mount your hard drive into the drive cage with the special screws provided.  
Don’t over-tighten the screws, as this will reduce the vibration and noise  
dampening ability of the silicone grommets.  
Note: Always mount the HDD with the thicker side of the silicone grommets  
facing up.  
5. Slide the cage back into the case and fasten the thumbscrew.  
6. Find the right connector on the power supply and connect it to the hard drive.  
7. Repeat the same procedure for the other drives.  
Lower HDD Installation  
1. Remove the thumbscrew holding the lower HDD cage.  
2. Pull the HDD cage from its position by pulling the ring towards you.  
3. There are two HDD trays inside the cage. Squeeze the metal clips on each  
side of the tray and slide the tray out.  
4. Mount your hard drive into the drive tray with the special screws provided.  
Don’t over-tighten the screws as this will reduce the vibration and noise  
dampening ability of the silicone grommets.  
Note: Always mount the HDD with the thicker side of the silicone grommets  
facing up.  
5. Slide and lock the tray back into the cage.  
6. Slide the cage back to the case and fasten the thumbscrew.  
7. Find the right connector on the power supply and connect it to the hard drive.  
8. Repeat the same procedure for the other drives.

The External fan Control:  
There are two external fan switches on the rear of the case near the top. They allow  
you to adjust the speed of these two fans without having to open the case.  
Note: The minimum voltage to start these fans is 5V. We recommend our users to  
set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device  
or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan-controller  
regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage may start as low  
as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device  
5
may result in the fan not being able to start. The already lowered voltage from the  
fan controller will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry below 5V.  
We recommend setting these fans to Low speed to maximize quiet computing.  
The Optional Fans  
There are two optional 120mm fan mounts at the front of the case inside the HDD  
cages. These two fan mounts are designed to enhance the CPU or VGA card cooling.  
However, you will need to remove the HDD cage (as a result of sacrificing two or  
three HDD bays depending on which cage to be removed) should you choose to  
use the fan mount in it. In order to build a quieter system we recommend NOT  
installing the optional fans.  
The Washable Air Filters  
There are two filters located behind the front grills and one filter inside the lower  
chamber. From time to time it will be necessary to wash the installed air filters.  
Not washing the air filters will result in higher system temperatures and possible  
stability problems. We recommend checking the air filters at least once a month  
initially. The frequency will depend on system usage (users whose systems run  
24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than those who don’t use their  
systems every day) and on environmental conditions.  
To remove the front filters:  
1. Push one of the fan grills at the right middle edge to open the grill .  
2. There are two tabs on the filter. To remove the filter use both your hands,  
grip the tabs and slide it towards the center, tag it outwards and lift out.  
To remove the bottom filter:  
1. Grasp the locking tab and gently push it towards the center of the filter.  
2. Tug the filter away from the case and then slide it out.
