2.
Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel
provided is not suitable for your motherboard, please contact your motherboard
manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3.
Line up motherboard with the standoff holes, and determine which ones 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. (In other words there
will likely be extra holes.) Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience.
4.
Lift up and remove your motherboard.
5.
Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with your motherboard.
6.
Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7.
Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head screws.
8.
Your motherboard is now installed.
Power/LED Connections
The Antec Solution Series SmartPower power supply is an ATX12V form factor power
supply. An ATX12V power supply has a single 20-pin Main Power Connector, a 6-pin
AUX Power Connector, and a 4-pin +12V Power Connector for the motherboard. It also
comes with five to seven 4-pin Peripheral Power Connectors and one to two 4-pin Floppy
Drive Power Connectors for your drives. It is backwards compatible to previous ATX form
factor power supplies. If your motherboard does not support the AUX Power Connector or
the +12V Power Connector, you can still use this power supply.
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 comes
with your motherboard.
Note:
The speed of the fan may be as low as 1500 RPM when
temperatures are low. At these speeds some motherboards may not be able to properly
detect the fan speed and may generate false warnings of fan failure. Please refer to your
motherboard manual for proper fan monitoring set up.
1.
Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector (and AUX or +12V connectors if
appropriate) to your motherboard.
2.
Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) connects to your motherboard at the RST
connector. The label should be facing the front of the case, and for all of the
following connectors as well.
3.
Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on the
motherboard.
4.
Speaker connector (labeled SPEAKER) is behind the PWR connector.
5.
The Power LED, Hard Drive LED, and LED I & LED II connectors all share a single
ribbon cable. Attach the Power LED (labeled POWER) and HDD LED connectors to
the appropriate headers on your motherboard. The LED I and LED II connectors may
be used as you see fit for such purpose as SCSI LED, Message LED, etc. as supported
by your motherboard, expansion cards, and peripherals.
USB Connection
There are 8 wires with connectors coming from the front mounted USB ports of the case.
1.
Locate the internal USB header on your motherboard. It consists of 10-pins in two
rows.
Note:
On some motherboards one or two pins may be marked as NC. This indicates
no contact. It is an empty pin. You don't need to use it. On some motherboards one
pin may be missing on either one or both rows. Don't worry about it. You only need
8 pins to connect to.

Power Supply
The power supply installed in this case comes with a main power switch. Make sure you
turn the switch to the ON (
I
) position before you boot up your computer for the first time.
In normal operation there is no need to turn the switch to the OFF (O) position since the
power supply is equipped with a soft on/off feature which turns your computer on and off
through the soft switch on your computer case. You may occasionally need to turn the
switch to the OFF position should your computer crash and you cannot shut it down through
use of the soft switch.
[Applicable only to models designed for sale in the European Union:
Solution power
supply models designed for the EU include Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in
accord with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current
wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the power supply and results in increased
energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, prolonged life for power distribution and consumption
equipment, and improved output voltage stability.
]
Note (not applicable to models designed for the European Union):
Check the red
power supply voltage switch setting before installation. It should be the same as your local
power voltage (115V for North America, Japan, etc. and 230V in Europe and many other
countries). Change the voltage setting if necessary. Failure to take this precaution could
result in damage to your equipment and could void your warranty.
Set Up
1.
Take the case out of the box.
2.
Remove the Styrofoam.
3.
Remove the plastic bag.

disengage the latches and swing open the panel.
7.
Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked connectors
(USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel, a power cord. You will also find a bag of
hardware (drive rails, screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.)
8.
Place the case with the front bezel facing you and press the release tabs on the bottom
of the bezel to remove the front bezel. Set the bezel aside in a safe place.
