EN I. Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 PC tower. We are confident that you will be delighted by your new PC case for many years to come. Nanoxia’s Deep Silence series have been designed and developed by an experienced team of developers in Germany. The silent optimised PC cases are of the highest quality and combine the best possible functionality with the highest level of flexibility.
Features: Complete customisable soundproofing with high quality materials meeting industrial standards Air Chimney (design patended) Tool-free mounting of optical drives Full-modular HDD cages (2, 3, 5, 6 or 8 hdd) 8 slots for expansion cards Max.
EN The Air Chimney of the Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 also helps to minimise noise. In terms of a low operating noise of your system, the Air Chimney can be closed. The hard disk drives are installed on trays which feature rubber grommets that are designed to absorb any vibrations caused by the HDDs. The power supply is isolated from the case by a flexible rubber framework and also rests on rubber contact points on the bottom of the PSU.
You can also, with the Chimney open, mount additional case fans or a water radiator below the cover. In this case, both the fan and the case interior are optimally protected against dust and spills. Standard Equipment: Front: Rear : 2 x 120 mm Nanoxia DS-fans (max. 1.300 rpm) 1 x 140 mm Nanoxia DS-fans (max. 1.
EN If you do not want to do without the front panel hard drive cages, you can of course mount the radiator conventional in the top panel. For compact water cooling, you should consider - before the installation - if the original factory hoses between the cooler and radiator are sufficiently long enough in order to mount the radiator-fan-combination at the front of the case. If the hoses are not long enough, you can of course mount the radiator conventional under the case cover (and the Air Chimney).
II. Installation Instructions 1. Installing the Motherboard In order to ensure an easy installation of your motherboard, we suggest the following procedure: 1.1 Please consult the following charts to find your motherboard form factor: XL-ATX / ATX Mainboard Micro-ATX Mainboard 1.2 Attach the spacers according to your motherboard form factor. 1.3 Attach the included EPS extension cable on to your motherboard – do not connect it to the power supply yet.
EN 1.4 Next you should mount the CPU cooler - for very large CPU coolers, the attachment of the EPS extension cable after installation can be difficult. 1.5 Now place the motherboard gently inside the case and lead the EPS extension cable through the opening provided in the top left of the mainboard tray. 1.6 Fix the motherboard to the motherboard tray 1.7 After the installation of the power supply, you can connect the EPS extension cable to the EPS-connector on the PSU at the back of the motherboard-tray.
2.2 Removing the top cover To remove the lid of the case, hold the recess provided at the rear of the case and pull it upwards with a firm tug. 3. Installation of the power supply Please install the power supply according to the diagram below and secure it with the included PSU screws. 4. Installation of external drives 4.1 Optical drives To install the optical drives, please remove both side panels. The installation of optical drives is tool-free. Remove the 5.
EN Then loosen the lock on both sides by dragging the black slider backwards (1). Then slide the drive into the desired position. Lock the holder by pushing the slider back to its original position (2). 4.2 Utilising the external 3.5 inch bay If you for example desire to place a 3.5 inch card reader, you can use the internal adapter for this purpose. Please remove the 5.25 inch cover first. Open the two quick release of the 5.25 inch bay and remove the mounting frame.
5. Installation of hard drives Install the 2.5 or 3.5 inch hard drives in the illustrated mounting frames. In order to extract the frame, squeeze the protruding brackets and pull the slide out gently. To install a hard drive into a a bracket insert the disk so that the connectors point to the back and attach the hard drive using the screws provided. For the fitting of 3.5 inch hard drives please use the holes in Figure 5A; for the installation of 2.5“ hard drives, use the screw holes in Figure 5B.
EN The dust filters can easily be pulled out, as you can see here. Please note, that the filter elements must be fully inserted to guarantee the proper operation of the „Easy Access Panel“. Optional case fans: Additional case fans in the side panel and on the bottom of the Deep Silence 1 should be mounted so that cooler air is introduced into the case. Case fans installed at the top of the case and at the rear should exhaust air out of the case.
Additional fans in the side panel: If you want to accommodate a fan in the side panel, remove the outer cover by loosening the screws on the inside. The dust filter can remain in its position. Please place the fan on the inside of the side panel above the dust filter and screw it in from the outside. If you secure the cover in the side panel again after the removal of a side fan, please make sure not to tighten the screws not too much.
EN The dust filter at the bottom can be pulled out for easy cleaning. 7. Connecting the fans to the 2-channel fan controller The fan controller is powered by a 4-pin Molex connector that is connected directly to the power supply. The controller has two channels (A and B), with each channel able to control up to three 3-pin fans, therefore a total of six fans can be controlled. Please Note The fan controller is not designed for the operation of powerful fans.
8. Operation of the 2-channel fan controller The sliders for controlling the fans controller can be found behind the upper front door. The upper slider controls channel A and the lower slider controls channel B. 9. The I/O-Panel The I/O panel includes connectors for external USB devices (2x USB2.0, 2x USB3.0), and the microphone and headphone ports. The I/O panel can be retracted into the case when not in use, this helps to protect the connectors while maintain the DS1’s clean looks.
EN 10. Conversion of the hard drive cages The Deep Silence 1 provides three fully modular HDD modules (2x 3 HDD, 1x 2 HDD). The top two cages are interchangeable and can also be removed if required.
If you want to remove the middle cage and use only the upper cage, please note that the upper cage (A) is not firmly anchored to the case. It can - if the central cage (B) is not installed - be pulled out of the holder. If necessary, attach one of the two modular cages (A or B) on the designated holder on the bottom. Please push the hard drive cage as far in until it is secured.
EN 11. Utilising the Air Chimney The Air Chimney will help increase the cooling of the case. To open the Air Chimney, slid the dial to the “open” position and back again to close it. 12. Installation of radiators In the Deep Silence 1 you can mount one 120 or 240 mm radiator behind the front panel, as well as under the cover. 12.
It is also possible to mount additional fans on the back of your radiator. After installing the radiator use one of the modular HDD cages (A or B) on the holder at the bottom of the case. 12.2 Installation of a radiator or compact water cooling under the top cover For the installation of the radiator under the top cover, please use the offset mounting holes, as shown in the picture below. The offset ensures the best possible compatibility with current motherboards.
