USER MANUAL

DF-30 USER'S MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of the Antec Dark Fleet DF-30.

Meet the swifter, lighter Dark Fleet enclosure with the heavyweight feature set: the Dark Fleet DF-30. Up front sit two Fleet-Release™ access doors with tool-free washable fan filters, allowing rapid access to a massive array of drive bays – enough room for 11 total drives. Each Fleet-Release™ door comes standard with a variable-speed black 120 mm blue LED fan with stepless knob controls allowing precise tuning of your build's cooling/noise balance. Two built-in SATA bays – one 2.5" SSD mount on the interior, and a special external top hot-swap 2.5" SATA (SSD) bay – provide fast, smoothly integrated data transfer capability that fits right into the case. And since the Fleet-Release™ system is modular and features tool-free removable filters, maintaining and reconfiguring your build is a cinch. With dark industrial style and swiftly maintainable air-cooling design, the DF-30 is the lighter Dark Fleet enclosure that packs full-size power into a stylish, convenient mid-size package.

The DF-30 comes without a power supply. Make sure you choose a power supply that is compatible with your computer components and has a long enough power harness to reach your motherboard and peripheral devices. We recommend our High Current, Signature Series, TruePower Quattro or TruePower New power supplies for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad compatibility, and power savings capability.

At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As such, your new case may differ slightly from the description in this manual. This isn't a problem; it's simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.

BEFORE/YOU/BEGIN/

In order to ensure that your building experience with the Dark Fleet DF-30 will be a positive one, please take note of the following:

• While working inside your Dark Fleet DF-30, keep your case on a flat, stable surface. Make sure your build area is clean, well-lit, and free of dust.
• Antec cases feature rounded edges that minimize the occurrence of hand injuries. Nonetheless, exercise caution and control when handling case interiors. We strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working inside the case. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please use reasonable precaution.
• Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, never by its pins.
• To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself periodically by touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a connector or screw on the back of this computer) or by using a wrist grounding strap.
• Before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly aligned and oriented. Bent pins can be difficult to fix and may require replacement of the entire connector.
• This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before proceeding, check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take before installing the motherboard.
• Do not sit on your case. Although it is constructed of heavy-duty steel and internally reinforced, it is not designed to support the weight of an adult, and may buckle.
• Remember to use the right tools for each task. Do not use improvised screwdrivers like coins, nails or knife blades as they may result in damage to screw threads or even injury. Do not use your fingernails to separate edges or lift the sides of the case, as paint chipping or injury may occur.

LOCATING/AND/POSITIONING/YOUR/COMPUTER/

Your DF-30 has backwards- and top-facing exhaust fans, as well as front-mounted intake fans and one side-mounted front air intake. For optimum performance, we recommend leaving the front air intakes unobstructed.

When open, the DF-30's Fleet-Release™ doors take up an additional 15.5 cm of space in the front. Since loading and unloading the DF-30's internal Fleet-Swap™ SATA bays through the doors will require opening and closing them, you may wish to leave space in front of the computer open for this purpose.

The DF-30 can operate resting sideways as well as vertically. Do not rest the DF-30 upside down (with the case feet up in the air), as this will impede operation of optical drives.

The DF-30 comes with a top 2.5" Hot Swap drive bay. While it's in a handy location, we do not recommend that users put any liquid-containing items (drinks, ice cream, coffee, perfume, etc.) on the drive bay. It was not designed for storage purposes.

Note: The rear TwoCool™ fans have a two-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet or maximum cooling.

Note: The minimum voltage to start a typical TwoCool™ fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage, which may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TwoCool™ fan set on Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TwoCool™ circuitry below 5V.

4.5

OPTIONAL FANS

There is one optional 120 mm fan mount on the left side panel. A fan can be placed here to enhance graphics card cooling. We recommend using Antec 120 mm TriCool™ fans and setting the speed to Low. This fan brings cool air into the case.

4.6

WASHABLE AIR FILTERS//

There is a filter located behind the faceplate of each Fleet-Release ^TM Access Doors. There are total of three front air filters that come with the case.

Hand placing a green 3D arrow onto a black CPU socket (no text or symbols visible)

Removing the washable air filter. Note the filter tabs.

To clean the filter:

1. Open the Fleet-Release ^TM Access Doors. Locate the filter tab behind the faceplate.

2. Lift the tab right and pull it upwards to remove the filter. See picture.

Note: From time to time it will be necessary to wash the installed air filter. Not washing the air filter 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 system usage (users whose systems run 24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than those who don't use their systems every day) and on environmental conditions.
