1.6 Align and mount the motherboard over
the standoffs and screw to the case.
1.5 If installing a full-sized micro ATX form
factor motherboard (9.6”x9.6”), you will
need to remove the screw shown and
extract the hard-drive cage. You can
also remove the hard-drive cage should
you require a larger workspace.
NOTE: Touch an unpainted metal section of the case to discharge static before handling
components (with power supply plugged in). An anti-static wrist-strap should also be
worn to further minimize the possibility of damage.

of the other positions, the 3½”
drive cage must be uninstalled.
Remove the screw shown above.
3.5 There is also a screw between
the fan and bottom of the drive
bays that must be removed.
3.6 Next, simply pull the drive cage
forward and remove from case.
You will then have ample space
for installing lengthy PCI cards.
*If you are new to PC building, we recommend reading
through this manual before assembling your system.
2.6 Insert drive into the drive cage
until rails “click” into place.
5. Daisy-chaining case fans:
