Replace the Acrylic Panels

The panels consist of two identical acrylic sheets and a single PVC NET 
that is sandwiched between them. The acrylic sheets may have a different 
finish on each side so you can choose which is preferred (gloss or matt) 
but it makes no difference to the assembly which is used.

Ensure  there  are  no  cables  in  the  way  then  slide  the  acrylic  panels 
between the bumper tabs and into the slots on the heat sink. 

Final Check and Replacing the Side Panel

With  the  case  now  fully  assembled,  take  one  final  look  to  make  sure 
everything has been correctly assembled. If you are using a 2.5" drive, 
now is the time to connect the data and power cables to the drive.

Replace the side panel to the case ensuring the edges of all the other 
panels go into the slots along the edge of the side panel.

Once the side panel sits flush against all the pillars, replace the M4 screws 
to secure the side panel to the case.

The  system  is  now  fully  built  and  ready  for  connecting  power  and 
peripherals.

As with all fanless systems, when positioning your case, please consider an 
area out of direct sunlight, with adequate natural airflow and a moderate 
ambient room temperature. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Passively cooled products can get hot to the touch, 

especially when running at high loads for extended periods. 

This is a normal part of their operation and they have been 

tested to run safely under these conditions, but please take 

their operational temperature into consideration when 

positioning and handling them.
