Introduction to the Universal Bracket
The universal bracket is a concept we originally introduced on the F12C and DB4 cases. The basic idea is that any and all hardware can be fitted to a universal
bracket (hence the name universal) which can then be located anywhere along the frame of the case. This approach gives incredible flexibility to the component
layout and improves hardware compatibility, but does require additional planning as the lack of dedicated bays can create component overlaps if not properly
considered. Each bracket is held in place by a screw and nut at either end, which is captive by the track in the frame and can slide along the entire length. Nuts can be
added or removed using the 2 cutouts in the frame to allow for additional brackets or relocating them as required.
There are 2 sizes of universal bracket supplied, the Vertical that mounts along either side of the case and the Horizontal that mounts to the upper and lower sides of
the case. The brackets have holes for pre-defined hardware locations such as the motherboard, and slots that allow hardware to be fitted anywhere along the
length. The inner slot on the Vertical bracket is narrower and designed for M3 screws whilst all the other slots are wider to allow for fan screws, but washers are
supplied to allow M3 screws to use the wider slots.
