At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest
quality. As such, your new case may differ slightly from the description in this
manual. This isn’t a problem; it’s simply an improvement. As of the date of publication,
all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.

NSK 2480
Quiet Desktop Case
The Power Supply
NSK 2480 comes with an EarthWatts 380 Watt power supply. This universal
input, active PFC, single 80mm fan cooled power supply follows the ATX12V
version 2.2 specification, and includes dual +12V output rails that deliver safer
and more reliable output to your system’s components. EarthWatts power supplies
have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in power
supply efficiency, and their higher energy efficiency reduces power consumption
by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. In addition EarthWatts
includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over
voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).
The PSU comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the
ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time. Normally, you
won’t need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the PSU includes a soft on/off
feature. This lets you turn the computer on and off by using the soft switch on the
computer case. If the computer crashes and you can’t shut it down using the soft
switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O) position to shut the system
down. Then turn the switch back to the ON (I) position and reboot.
Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we
strongly recommend taking your time and the appropriate care when working with
it. Hurried or careless motion and use of excessive force, particularly when you are
working in areas you cannot see clearly, are but a few examples of activity that
should be avoided. Please use reasonable precaution.
Setting Up
1. Place the case on a flat, stable surface.
2.
Remove the thumbscrews from the back of the top panel. Slide the panel
towards the rear to remove it from the case.
3.
Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked
connectors (USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel and a power cord.
The Triple Chamber structure
The case interior is divided into three separate chambers – the power supply
chamber, the motherboard chamber and the HDD chamber. This triple chamber
structure isolates heat and noise resulting in much quieter and cooler operation
