connectors to the appropriate headers on your motherboard. You can use

the LED I and LED II connectors as you see fit: as SCSI LED, Message LED,

etc. or any other function supported by your motherboard, expansion cards,

and peripherals.

Connecting the USB Ports

You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front USB ports.

This is an Intel standard connector which is keyed so that it can't be accidently

reversed as long as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header.

Connect the 10-pin connector to your motherboard headers so that the blocked pin

fits over the missing header pin.

Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your USB header pin layout and

make sure it matches the attached table. If it does not match this Intel standard,

please call Antec customer service at (888) 54ANTEC (North America) or

+31 (10) 462-2060 (Europe) for a USB adapter. This adapter will allow you to

connect the front USB to your motherboard on a pin-by-pin basis.

Installing 3.5" Devices

There is one 3.5" drive cage inside the case. The upper portion can hold 2

external 3.5" drives, and the lower portion can hold 3 internal 3.5" drives.

1. Mount your external 3.5" drives into the top two drive bays. Load the

drives from the back, lining them up to the front of the drive cage.

2. Use one hand to support the drive, and fasten the drive to the cage with

the screws provided.

3. Mount your hard drive or other internal 3.5" device into the drive cage by

threading the special screws through the rubber grommets. Don't over-

tighten the screws, since that could decrease the grommets' ability to

reduce vibration and noise.

6. Find a small 4-pin connector on the power supply and connect it to the

male 4-pin connector on the floppy drive.

7. Connect a 4-pin large connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin

connector on each of the other devices.

Installing 5.25" Devices

1. If you look into the 5.25" drive bays from above the power supply, you'll

see some metal grilles covering the front of those bays. Carefully push a

screwdriver through the metal grille, and gently remove the plastic drive

bay cover by pushing outwards.

2. Use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it breaks off.

Note: Don't break off the metal grilles covering the drive bays that you

don't intend to use now. Be careful of the newly exposed metal where the

grille was attached, as these areas are likely to be sharp.

3. Using the screws provided, fasten your 5.25" device into the drive bay.

4. Repeat the same procedure for other devices.

5. Connect a 4-pin large connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin

connector on each of the devices.

Connecting the Data Cables

After you've connected the devices to the power supply, you need to connect

data cables between the devices and the motherboard. To achieve the best

data-transfer and cooling performance, we recommend using premium rounded

cables such as Antec Cobra Cables.

The cables that are included with your drives should have a red strip on one

side indicating pin number 1. If you use these cables, make sure that the red

strip is on pin 1, usually toward the power connector.

Installing the Fan

We've included one rear-mounted 120mm exhaust fan. In the front of the case,

you'll also find a mount for an optional 80mm intake fan.

The rear fan is installed so that the air blows out of the case. Find a large 4-pin

peripheral connector on the power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin

connector on the fan.

The front fan (optional) should be installed so that the air is blowing into the

case from the front.

To mount the optional front fan:

1. Squeeze the upper right and left sides of the fan cage together to release

the tabs. Once the cage is loose, slide it upwards. You should then be able

to pull the cage back and out of the case.

2. Drop the fan into the cage from the case's front side, and push it in until

the four tabs snap the fan in place. We recommend routing the fan's power

wires through any of the slots near each corner of the fan cage. (Make sure

you don't pinch the wires.) No screws are needed. The front fan should be

installed so that the air is blowing into the case.

3. Reattach the cage/fan assembly to the case, taking care not to pinch

the fan wires.

4. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin

connector on each of the fans.

Chassis Air Guide

Your new case includes a chassis air guide, which provides cooling air directly

to the CPU. The air guide consists of three parts: an upper duct, flange, and

lower duct. If you prefer, you can adjust the distance between the lower duct

and your CPU for maximum cooling efficiency.
