7. Connect case leads to motherboard:
7.1 Locate the front panel leads. Your
motherboard documentation will
provide schematics. The triang-
ular markings on the leads
indicate the positive pins/wires. 7.2 Locate the front panel leads. Refer
to your motherboard’s document-
ation for placement schematics.
(Remove right-side panel to better access wiring.)
Note: You may also leave a sensor loose in the chassis in order to monitor
the ambient system temperature. DO NOT place the sensor directly on the
CPU as it will damage the sensor.
6.4 Monitor system temperatures from
the front panel LCD.

Connect PC components to the required power connector
for each device type.

6. Temperature probe setup:
6.2 Place the probe labeled ‘HDD’ to the
hard-drive’s surface.
6.1 Locate the device temperature
probes. Tape the probe labeled
‘CPU’ to any ‘fin’ on the CPU’s
heatsink and tape in place. For
best results, use thermal tape.

3.2 From the outside rear of the case,
push PCI slot cover(s) toward the
inside of the chassis. 3.1 First, remove the PCI slot covers.
Firmly press point A with thumb,
while pulling point B with index
finger to open the latch.

1.4 Insert your motherboard’s I/O shield
into the area shown. Keyboard and
mouse ports are usually located at
the top of I/O shield.
1.6 Put brass standoffs in place. Align
motherboard with standoffs and
mount to case. This ATX mother-
board (12”x8.3”) only used notches
A1-A6. M8 was also used since it
lined up.
1.5 Refer to the motherboard holes
index for standoff placement for
your motherboard type. A full
ATX (12”x9.6”) board will use
notches A1-A9. Some mother-
boards may not use all notches.
Use any notches that line up
with your motherboard.
NOTE: Touch an unpainted metal section of the chassis to discharge
static electricity before handling PC components. An anti-static wrist
strap should also be worn to further minimize the possibility of damage.
