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 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 mother-
board manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3. Line up your motherboard with the standoff holes, and remember which
holes are lined up. Not all motherboards will match with all of the provided
holes; this is normal, and won't affect functionality. (In other words, there
will likely be extra holes.)
4. Remove your motherboard by lifting it up.
5. Screw the brass standoffs into the threaded holes that line up with your
motherboard. Do not overtighten the standoffs. Some standoffs may be
pre-installed for your convenience.
6. Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head
screws. Your motherboard is now installed.
Connecting the Power and LED
The power supply conforms to the latest ATX12V Version 2.0 standard. It is
also backwards-compatible with previous ATX form factor power supplies.
Before you connect the power supply to any of your devices, please consult the
appropriate user manuals for your motherboard and other peripherals.
The power supply is also equipped with a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect
it to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You may monitor the
speed of the rear power supply fan through your motherboard BIOS or through
the monitoring software that's supplied with your motherboard. Note: At low
temperatures, the fan may run as slow as 950RPM. At these speeds, some
motherboards may not properly detect the fan speed and may generate false
warnings of fan failure. To ensure proper monitoring of the fan, please check
your motherboard manual.
1. Connect the Main Power Connector and
the 4-pin +12V connector to your
motherboard as needed. If your
motherboard uses a 20-pin connector;
detach the 4-pin attachment on the 24-pin
power connector (see pictures 1 and 2).
2. Connect the Reset switch (labeled RESET
SW) to your motherboard at the RST
connector. Make sure the label always faces the front of the case.
3. Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connector is located behind the Reset connector.
4. Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on
the motherboard.
5. Speaker (labeled SPEAKER) connector is behind the PWR connector.
6. Hard Drive LED (labeled H.D.D. LED) connects to the IDE connector.
