5. Rearranging the HDD cages The HDD cages of the case may be re-arranged, so that VGA cards up to 42 cm can be installed.
In order to remove the HDD cages, proceed as follows: 1. Unscrew the thumb screws on the back side of the case and remove both side panels. 2. Lift the attachment lever of the respective HDD cage (fig. 1) and drag the cage out of its fitting (fig. 1b). fig. 1a fig. 1b 3. Slide the HDD cage into the respective bottom fitting of the case until the attachment lever locks (fig. 2a and b). fig.
6. Installation of a mainboard 1. Unscrew the thumb screws on the back side of the case and remove both side panels. Lay down the case sidewise on an even surface. 2. The mounting panel of the mainboard inside the case provides various mounting holes to fix the standoffs (fig. 3). Fig. 3 The mainboard contains special screw mounts (fig. 4). Fig.
Place the mainboard to the mounting panel. A standoff must be screwed into every hole on the mounting panel visible through the mainboard’s screw openings. 3. Remove the mainboard and screw the standoffs into the their respective holes on the mounting panel (fig. 5). (Standoffs) Fig. 5 4. Insert the I/O shield (delivered with the mainboard) into the I/O shield opening in the rear panel of the ' case.
5. Place the mainboard back onto the standoffs and screw the mainboard to them (fig. 6). (Screws for mainboard mounting) Fig. 6 6. Plug the connectors of the case’s front bezel to the respective connectors of the mainboard (please refer to your mainboard’s manual for further information).
7. Installation of a PSU 1. Position the case in front of you and – from the inside – position the PSU against the PSU bracket on the case’s rear panel (fig. 7). Fig. 7 2. Screw the PSU to the case from the outside (fig. 8). (Screws for PSU mounting) Fig.
8. Installation of a HDD 1. Take a mounting frame from one of the HDD cages (fig. 9). Fig. 9 Mounting frame 2. Place an HDD into the mounting frame (connectors pointing backwards / fig. 10a and b). Fig. 10a Fig.
3. Attach the HDD to the mounting frame from below (fig. 11a and b). Fig. 11a Fig. 11b 4. Slide the mounting frame into the HDD cage until it locks (fig. 12). Fig. 12 5. Connect the HDD to the PSU and the mainboard.
9. Installation of an optical device 1. Remove the case’s front panel by gently pulling it towards you (fig. 13). Fig. 13 2. Dismantle the 5.25" front bezel from the mounting bay by removing it from the front panel (fig. 14). Fig.
3. Place the front panel back onto the case. 4. Slide the optical drive into the case’s drive bay (fig. 15). Fig. 15 5. Attach the optical device to the case from both sides using the quick fasteners (fig. 16). Fig. 16 Note: If you intend to transport the case, we recommend that you screw-in the built-in devices (additionally). 6. Connect the optical drive to the power supply and the mainboard.
10. Installation of a 3.5" device 1. Remove the case’s front panel by gently pulling it towards you. 2. Dismantle the 3.5" front bezel by removing it from the front panel (fig. 17). Fig. 17 3. Unlock the quick fasteners, which attach the mounting frame for 3.5” devices inside the case (fig. 18a) and remove the mounting frame from the case (fig. 18b). Fig. 18a Fig. 18b (Carefully remove an optionally present metal bezel covering the 3.5" drive bay by using a gripper.
4. Place the 3.5" device into the mounting frame for 3.5" devices and attach the device to the frame from both sides (fig. 19). Fig. 19 5. Slide the mounting frame with the installed 3.5" device into the case’s mounting bay (fig. 20a) and lock it from both sides using the quick fasteners (fig. 20b). Fig. 20a Fig. 20b 6. Connect the 3.5" device to the power supply and the mainboard. 7. Replace the front bezel to the case.
11. Installation of an add-on card 1. Remove the anchor screw of the slot bezel and take it from the case. 2. Insert the add-on card into the respective slot of the mainboard and attach it to the case using the anchor screw (fig. 21). Fig. 21 3. Close the case. 12.
Fan connector of the fan control Sliders of the fan control 13. Installation of an additional bottom panel fan / optimized airflow The case provides the opportunity to install an additional 120 or 140 mm fan into the bottom panel. Therefore proceed as follows: 1. Remove the bottom fitting for the HDD cages by loosening its four mounting screws und removing the fitting from the case (fig. 23). Fig.
2. Place the fan against the respective bracket from the inside of the case. 3. Screw the fan to the attachment from the outside. 4. Connect the fan to the mainboard or the PSU. Notes: When installing fans, make sure that (cool) air is taken in on the front/bottom of the case and blown out on its rear side/top. The PC components with the highest heat development should be placed directly within the airflow.
