2.1 Opening the Side Panels
There are two tabs on each side of the case. The top tab is designed to open the side panels. Push the lower part of
the tab (figure 4) to disengage the door from the metal chassis. The lower tab (figure 11) is for unlocking the Central Air
Intake Filter during maintenance.
2.2 Motherboard Installation
Before proceeding: Check the manual of your CPU cooler for pre-installation steps before installing a motherboard.
1. Align the motherboard with the standoff holes on the motherboard tray. 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.
2. Lift up and remove the motherboard. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with the
motherboard.
3. Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs. Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided
Phillips-head screws.
2.3 Cable Management
Cable routing holes equipped with rubber grommets are located in strategic locations inside the case. We recommend
you hide excess cables behind the motherboard tray for an uncluttered appearance. To route cables from the Hard
Disk Drive (HDD) Chamber, use the opening between the HDD and PSU chambers at the bottom of the case. The S10
case comes with four extended length SATA cables in the tool box to connect the disk drives in the upper and middle
row of the HDD chamber to the motherboard.
NOTE: Route cables through these openings accessed on the right side of the case (figure 6, figure 7), by the
main air flow channel, between the HDD Chamber and the PSU Chamber.
