02 INSTALL DRIVES

The bottom door can be used for one of the following storage options: 1x 3.5" + 4x 2.5" | 4x 2.5" | 2x 3.5"

OPTION A- 1X 3.5" + 4X 2.5"

OPTION B - 4X 2.5"

1. Reposition the 2.5" drive bracket to the rear of the motherboard.
2. Install 2x 2.5" drives on the door and 2x 2.5" drives on the bracket

OPTION C - 2X 3.5"

1. Remove the 2.5" drive bracket completely.
2. Install 2x 3.5" drives with cables routed to the top

PSU CABLE MANAGEMENT

The PSU cables can be routed like the image below for clean cable management. Open the top cover door to loop the CPU & MB cables to get rid of excessive cable length.

Loop excessive cable length on the inside of the top cover door.

01 INSTALL MOTHERBOARD COVER

The motherboard cover can be installed in two ways:

Option 1: Default

The first option covers a bit more of the cables attached to the motherboard, and is a great fit for standard sized ATX motherboards.

Option 2: Reversed

For the second option, the cover is installed in reversed position. This covers less of the motherboard and allows more clearance for E-ATX motherboards (up to 277 mm).

Option 3: Remove Cover

For even larger motherboards and maximum clearance, it is recommended to remove this cover completely.

After choosing the preferred position, align the motherboard cover (1) and slide upwards (2). Secure it with the thumb screw through the right side of the chassis (3).

02 INSTALL D-RGB COVER

Slide the D-RGB cover to the rear of the chassis to install it.

01 INSTALL BRACKET

Install the GPU support bracket on the motherboard cover with 1x thumb screw.

02 ADJUST HEIGHT

Adjust to the correct height for your GPU and use the thumb screw to secure it.

03 ADJUST DEPTH

Adjust the depth of the bracket to hold the GPU tightly and lock with 1x thumb screw underneath the bracket.

PRO TIP

Use the tie point on the bracket to tie down GPU cable for a clean routing

CABLE LANES

External cables can be managed with the cable lanes behind the rear door. The left lane is larger and can be used for thick cables. The other three lanes are smaller and made for thin cables.

VELCRO TIE

Use the velcro tie on the bottom to tie all cables down to the chassis.

COMB OR GROMMET

There are two options for the cables to leave the case:

Option 1: Rear comb

The rear comb can be used to separate each cable to leave the case neatly.

Option 2: Bottom grommet

Alternatively, the grommet on the bottom of the chassis can be used to lead the cables out.
