The Front 120mm Fan
This case comes with one optional 120mm fan mount in the front right behind the
3.5” internal drive bays. The front fan should be installed so that the air is blowing
into the case from the front.
Note: We recommend AGAINST using a front fan for maximum quiet computing.
If you choose to install a front fan, we recommend you use an Antec TriCool™
120mm fan and set the speed to LOW.
MAINTAINING THE WASHABLE AIR FILTER
There is a washable air filter behind the front bezel. From time to time it will be
necessary to wash the installed air filter as not washing it will result in higher system
temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend checking the air
filter at least once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on
environmental conditions and system usage, as users who run their systems
24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than those who do not.
To remove the filter:
Tilt the case backwards for easier access.
Squeeze the two tabs on the filter and gently pull downwards.
