Connector definition (1) Front panel connector installation Power switch and reset switch installation guide: Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard’s “Front Panel Connector” or “System Panel Connector” pin definition. Power switch and reset switch have no polarity, so they can be connected in any orientation.
Connector definition LED connector installation guide： Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard’s “Front Panel Connector” or “System Panel Connector” pin definition.； the white wires are negative while other colors are positive wires. The Power LED wires are separate pins for compatibility with different motherboard pin definition so please make sure they are connected in the right polarity by referring to your motherboard manual.
Front I/O connector guide Below are the front I/O connectors pin definition, please also check your motherboard manual to cross reference with motherboard’s front I/O pin headers. SilverStone’s I/O connectors are in block type to simplify installation. Nachstehend finden Sie die Pinbelegung der vorderen E/A-Anschlüsse; bitte gleichen Sie zudem das Handbuch Ihres Motherboards mit den vorderen E/A-Pinzuweisungen ab. SilverStones E/A-Anschlüsse befinden sich zur Vereinfachung der Installation in Blockart.
Component size limitations (1) CPU Cooler limitation 5mm 167mm MOTHERBOARD MOTHERBOARD LEFT SIDE PANEL RIGHT SIDE PANEL BACK PANEL FRONT PANEL The FT03 has 167mm height limitation for CPU cooler. The cooler can protrude 5mm over the motherboard edge. Das FT03 unterstützt beim CPU-Kühler eine Maximalhöhe von 167 mm. Der Kühler kann 5 mm über die Motherboard-Kante hinausstehen. Le FT03 ne peut accueillir que les dissipateurs de processeur d'une taille inférieure ou égale à 167mm.
Component size limitations (2) PSU limitation LEFT SIDE PANEL RIGHT SIDE PANEL 180mm PSU BRACKET 215mm A: The FT03 supports power supply with depth of up to 215mm. The limitation of power supplies with modular cables is 180mm. We use a specific extension cord for connecting to power supply’s AC plug, so it does not support large, specialized plug found in extremely high wattage power supplies (e.g. SilverStone ST1500).
Component size limitations (3) Hard drive thickness limitation FT03’s 3.5” hard drive bay is designed for hard drives with 25.4mm thickness, we do not recommend using thinner hard drives due to: 1. Insecure mounting with the hot-swappable hard drive cage. 2. Thinner hard drives will be unable to take advantage of FT03’s aluminum block on the side panel for passive cooling.
Component size limitations (4) VGA card length limitation MOTHERBOARD MOTHERBOARD BACK PANEL FRONT PANEL LONG GRAPHICS BACK PANEL LONG GRAPHICS FRONT PANEL 120 FAN 80 FAN FT03 can support 13.77” consumer level graphics cards Graphic card length reference: AMD Radeon HD 5970 – 12.2 " NVidia Geforce GTX480 – 10.5” AMD Radeon HD 5870 – 11” AMD Radeon HD 5850 – 9.5”” AMD Radeon HD 6870 – 10.5” NVidia Geforce GTX470 – 9.5” NVidia Geforce GTX580 – 10.
Component size limitations (5) Optical drive limitation (please use software to eject optical disk) The FT03 only supports slim “slot-loading” optical drives. Корпус FT03 допускает только установку тонких оптических приводов со «щелевой загрузкой». Das FT03 unterstützt nur schmale optische Laufwerke („Slot-In“). FT03只能使用吸入式光碟。 Le FT03 est compatible seulement avec le les lecteur optique slim sans tiroir (mange-disque aka “slot-loading”).
Recommended cooling device setup and selection 25 If you are installing a tower-style CPU cooler, we recommend that the CPU fan blows upward to work with FT03’s overall airflow. Если вы устанавливаете башенный кулер ЦП, то мы рекомендуем установить его таким образом, чтобы воздушный поток вентилятора ЦП был направлен вверх и совпадал с общим направлением воздушного потока внутри корпуса FT03.
Recommended cooling device setup and selection Below is an example of assembled system with cables routed. Дополнительные сведения представлены на приведенной ниже схеме. Weitere Informationen entnehmen Sie bitte dem Diagramm. 你可以參考下面兩張圖做整線規畫。 Veuillez consulter le diagramme pour plus d'informations. 你可以参考下面两张图做整线规画。 Por favor consulte el diagrama para tener más información. 詳細については図をご参照ください。 Fare riferimento al diagramma per maggiori informazioni. 자세한 내용 확인을 위해서는 아래 그림을 참조하시기 바랍니다.
Recommended cooling device setup and selection The upper 80/92mm fan bracket is designed to aid in cooling high-end graphic cards. It can be removed if there are no such cooling requirement. Die obere 80/92 mm-Lüfterhalterung dient der unterstützenden Kühlung von hochmodernen Grafikkarten. Sie kann entfernt werden, falls eine derartige Kühlung nicht erforderlich ist. Le casier à ventilateur de 80/92mm du dessus est conçu pour aider le refroidissement des cartes graphiques haut de gamme.
Upgrade and maintenance An example of a GPU cooler that is filled with dust and has lost most of its cooling performance. FT03’s positive air pressure design is an effective configuration that will reduce dust buildup inside the case. Small air particles or lint will accumulate over time on intake filters instead of on the components inside the case.
Upgrade and maintenance A Place the FT03 on its side and remove the bottom filter. Поместите корпус FT03 на бок и снимите нижний фильтр. Legen Sie das FT03 auf die Seite; entfernen Sie den unteren Filter. 翻倒機殼，移除下方濾網。 Mettez le FT03 sur le côté et retirez le filtre du bas. 翻倒机壳，移除下方滤网。 Ponga la FT03 de lado y quite el filtro inferior. FT03は側面を下にして置き、 底部フィルタを取り外します。 Poggiare il FT03 su un lato e rimuovere il filtro sul fondo. FT03을 측면으로 뉘어 놓은 후, 하부 필터를 제거 합니다.
Upgrade and maintenance FT03 supports SST-CLEARCMOS installation on a designated part of the case, please see example below: Das FT03 unterstützt die SST-CLEARCMOS-Installation an einem dazu vorgesehenen Teil des Gehäuses; bitte halten Sie sich an das nachs tehende Beispiel: Le FT03 est compatible avec l'installation du SST-CLEARCMOS dans une partie spéciale du boîtier, voici un exemple ci-dessous: La FT03 acepta la instalación de la SST-CLEARCMOS en cierta parte de la caja, por favor vea el siguiente e
Q&A Q: Can I use a tower-style heatsink without a fan? A: According to tests we’ve done internally, a CPU with TDP rating of 130W (such as Intel Core i7), can run with a fanless tower-style heatsink inside the FT03. However, this does not account for overclocking and performance will vary depending on the efficiency of the heatsink used. We suggest that you try at your own risk.
Q&A Q: Since FT03 intake most of the air from the bottom, should I prop it up higher off the ground? And would I need to worry about excessive dust intake? A: Extensive testing was conducted during FT03’s development to determine the optimal height of the case stand for air intake so there is no benefit to increase the height any further.
