Tips:
1. After installing motherboard, perform a quality check on chassis parts before continuing. Connect
the
power button
to board, plug your
PSU 20 or 24 pins
and
4 pins
cable, connect the
case
fans power cord
, connect the
LCD PWR cord.
Turn on the system. At this point, you should be
assure that the case and PSU are functioning well by checking if the fans running good, front LCD
turning on. Now, unplug everything and follow the instruction to continue your build.
2. Due to the limited height of the compact case, taking off the air duct may be necessary if you use
tall CPU heatsink, like NMEDIAPC ICETANK cooler.
3. If you are using the ICETANK or ICECONE CPU cooler, we recommend that you install the CPU
and Cooler onto the motherboard before you slot it in the case. This will smooth the cooler
installation with more space “outside” of the case.
4. Some DVD trays cover need to be removed in order to eject the tray smoothly without blocking by
the DVD flip down door.
5. When installing the DVD drive, adjust the DVD drive appropriately until your case eject button can
eject the tray smoothly, then mark down the position, and secure the DVD to the DVD rack with
screws.
6. Remember that installing power supply should always the last step when installing components.
7. Do not perform cable management until your system is fully configured. This will make the cable
management a better smooth procedure.
8. Do not install optional upgrade video card / TV tuner card / Sound card at once. Use everything on
board (video & sound) to configure system and install operation system. After then, install the
upgrades one by one and restart the system on every step to ensure component compatibility and
save times of troubleshooting when issue arises.
