USER MANUAL Core 1000 Fractal Design

About Fractal Design – our concept Without a doubt, computers are more than just technology - they have become an integral part of our lives. Computers do more than make living easier, they often defi ne the function- ality and design of our homes, our offi ces and ourselves. The products we choose represent how we want to describe the world around us and how we want others to perceive us. Many of us are drawn to designs from Scandinavia, which are organized, clean and functional while remaining stylish, sleek and elegant. We like these designs because they harmonize with our surroundings and become nearly transparent. Brands like Georg Jensen, Bang Olufsen, Skagen Watches and Ikea are just a few that represent this Scandinavian style and effi ciency. In the world of computer components, there is only one name you should know, Fractal Design.

• Also available for System IntegratorsHow to Section: Installing Graphic cards longer than 260mm To be future proof, Core 1000 USB 3.0 supports graphic cards longer than 210mm simply by only using the top HDD mount. When only one HDD is used, the chassis supports graphic cards with lengths up to 350mm! Note however that you usually cannot use the lower HDD mount when having a long graphics card, since the power connector will hit the HDD tray. Cleaning the fi lters The fi lters are placed at the usual air intakes to prevent dust in the system. When they get dirty they also obstruct the airfl ow and they need to be cleaned with a regular inter- val for optimal cooling.

• To clean the front fi lter, the front fan needs to be disconnected from the power source. When they are disconnected, remove the front panel using the handle in the bottom, pull outwards and the front should come off. Clean the fi lters and then snap it back on. Don’t forget to connect the fan afterwards.
