At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As such, your new case may differ slightly from the description in this manual. This isnt a problem; its simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.
Disclaimer
This manual is intended only as a guide for Antecs Computer Enclosures. For more comprehensive instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the users manuals that come with those components.
Setting Up
1. 2. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface so that the rear panel (power supply and expansion slots) is facing you. Remove the panel thumbscrews from a side panel and open it by sliding it towards yourself. Note: Place the panel thumbscrews carefully aside as they are NOT interchangeable with the HDD cage thumbscrews. Remove the panel thumbscrews from the other side panel and open it by sliding it towards you. Place the screws carefully aside. Inside the case is the power supply mount at the lower rear of the case and the 5.25 drive bay area with three HDD cages inside the bays. You will also find some wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel and a toolbox containing more hardware (screws, brass standoffs, etc.) Note: Dont use your fingernail to pry or lift the panels.

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. 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.
5.
Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with the motherboard.
6.
Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs. Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head screws.

If you are installing a water cooling system, then you may need to run some of the tubing outside the case through the hose ports with rubber grommets on the back of the case. Also, make sure to read about the pump/ reservoir platform feature described near the end of the manual.

Note: There is a middle fan bracket pre-installed on one of the HDD cages. Install a 120mm fan to the bracket so the air will be blown into the case, if you decide to use the HDD cage as a cooling duct to cool your graphics card or CPU. However, this will stop you from installing your hard drives into this cage. Remove the middle fan bracket from the HDD cage if you decide to mount your hard drives into this cage.

Cable Management
There is a cable management compartment between the motherboard and right side panel. You can tuck or route excess cables in this compartment. 1. 2. Remove both side panels 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. Use the cable ties provided to hold them in place. 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.

Note: The minimum voltage to start a 120mm TriCool fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan speed switch to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage, which may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool fan set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry below 5V. 7
3.
Use the long screws provided to secure the fan to the mount. Do not overtighten.
4.
Run the power (and control switch if using a TriCool fan) through the cable guide that runs along the side of the fan mount.

Side Air Filter There is a filter located in the side fan bracket. It is located on the inside of the side panel, so you must open the side panel to access it. Remove the filter by sliding it out of the bracket. From time to time it will be necessary to wash the installed air filters. Not washing the air filter will result in high system temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend checking the air filter at least once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on environmental conditions and system usage. Users who run their systems 24/7 will have to check their filters more often than those who dont use it every day.
