Assembling Your Computer
NOTE:
This section is intended as a guide only. When installing computer components,
be sure to refer to the manufacturer’s installation documentation before attempting to
install the parts.
Removing the Cover from Your Case
1. Make sure that the case is not plugged in and that you are properly grounded.
2. Gently lay the case on its right side.
3. Simultaneously pull the two tabs upwards and slide the panel back then lift off
towards you so it is entirely removed from the case.
Closing Your Case
1. Turn the panel so that the two tabs are aligned with the back of the computer.
2. Gently slide the panel into the case until it clicks into place. Make sure that the ridge
on the back of the panel is properly aligned with the computer case. When the panel
is correctly in place, it will be flush with the rest of the case and can not be removed
without unlocking the tabs. As an optional security or protection measure, you can
secure the panel with screws, although this is not necessary step.
5. Replace the expansion slot holder by sliding the hinge at the end of the holder into
the hole at the end of the expansion slot area and pressing down firmly.
NOTE:
If you are going to be moving the computer case, StarTech.com recommends
securing the expansion slot holder with a screw to prevent damage.
Using the Front FireWire and Audio Ports
1. Make sure that your computer is equipped with a FireWire card and a sound card
and that they have been installed within reach of the cables hanging from the back of
the computer.
2. Plug the FireWire cable into your FireWire card.
3. Plug the pink microphone cable into the microphone port on your system.
4. Plug the green speaker cable into the speaker port on your system.
Powering Your Computer
1. Make sure that the red voltage indicator at the back of your computer is in the proper
position (115V for North America and 230V for most European countries).
2. Plug one end of the power cord into the computer and the other into an available
wall socket.
