Hard disk Drive Installation
There is a hard disk drive bracket with soft silicone grommets inside the HDD
chamber that can hold two hard drives.
1.
Remove the HDD bracket from the chamber by
removing the four screws on top of it.
2.
Mount the left side of the 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 3)
Note:
Don’t over-tighten the screws.
Over-tightening the screws will reduce the
vibration and noise-dampening ability of the
rubber grommets.
3.
Place 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. It
is optional, but not necessary to attach the hard drives with screws through
the bottom grommets.
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 corresponding power connector on the device.
5.25” Device Installation
NSK 2480 incorporates a rapid-release Flip Up Drive Cage inside the power supply
chamber for easy drive installation. The cage can hold two 5.25” devices.
To install an external 5.25” device:
1. Remove the flip-up drive cage.
2.
Remove the corresponding drive bay cover to
which you intend to install the device.
3.
Insert the 5’25” device into the cage. Fasten
the drive with the screws included.
(See Picture 4)
4.
Find a 4-pin Molex or a SATA connector on
the power supply and connect it to the
corresponding power connector on the device.
Cooling System
The 120mm TriCool™ fans
The NSK 2480 comes with two 120mm TriCool fans preinstalled. These fans sit
right next to the CPU and are installed so that the air is blowing out of the case.
Please leave at least 1” (2.5cm) between the right side of the case and anything
that would block the exhaust from these fans. Failure to do so may cause the
chamber or CPU to overheat.
These fans have a three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet,
performance, or maximum cooling. (See specifications below.) Connect a large
4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.
Note:
The default setting of the fans is Low. We recommend this speed to
maximize quiet computing.
