2. Mount the left side of your hard drives (facing from the front of the hard drive)
onto the drive bracket through the top silicone
grommets with the special screws provided
(see picture 4). Don’t over-tighten.
Over-tightening the screws will harm the vibra-
tion and noise reducing ability of the silicone
grommets.
3. Drop the HDD/bracket assembly back into the
case. Each hard drive should rest on two soft
silicone grommets preinstalled at the bottom of
the case.
4. Fasten the bracket using the screws provided.
5. Find a 4-pin Molex or a SATA connector on the
power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin
connector on the device.
5.25” Device Installation
This case comes with one 5.25” external drive bay right under the VFD.
To install the external 5.25” device:
1. Remove the flip-up drive cage.
2. Insert the 5’25” device into the lower 5.25”
drive bay of the cage. Make sure to use
the rear set of screw holes on the cage to
mount the device. Fasten the drive with the
screws included. (See Picture 5)
Note:
the upper 5.25” drive bay is reserved
for VFD. Do not mount any device into this
bay.
3. Find a 4-pin Molex connector on the power
supply and connect it to the male 4-pin connector on the device.
Cooling System
The 120mm TriCool™ fans
The Fusion comes with two 120mm TriCool™ fans preinstalled at the side of the
case inside the motherboard chamber. These two fans sit right next to the CPU to
cool the hottest CPU on the market.
Note
: The default setting of the fan is Low.
We recommend this speed for maximum quiet computing.
This fan has a three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet, perfor-
mance, or maximum cooling. (See specifications below.) The fan is installed so
that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the
power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.
Note:
The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend that our users
set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device
or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan-control-
device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage may start
as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ set on Medium or Low to a fan-con-
trol device may result in the fan not being able to start. The already lowered volt-
age from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool™ circuitry
below 5V.
