4.2 I/O ports
The front I/O ports that are provided require connections to your motherboard.
HD audio (headphone and microphone sockets)
Determine the HD audio pin connectors on your motherboard and insert the HD audio cables into the sockets allocated there. You will find information about the pin assignm motherboard in the motherboard handbook.
USB 3.1 Type C Gen. 2
Locate the USB 3.1 Type C pin connector on your motherboard and attach the USB 3.1 Type C cable using the designated sockets there.
USB 3.0
Find the USB 3.0 pin connectors on your motherboard and plug the USB 3.0 cable into the sockets allocated there. You will find information about the pin assignment of your motherboard in the motherboard handbook.
On/off switch, LED power indicator, HDD activity indicator
The illustrated plug connects the power switch and the case's LED indicators with your motherboard. Take care to use the correct polarity with the LEDs. Your motherboard handbook will provide information on the correct connections.
4.3 PCB panel ports
| A P | WM connector to the motherboard |
| B P | WM connector to the fans |
| C LED | connector to the motherboard |
| D LED | output for added external LEDs |
| E C | connector for the supplied LEDs |
| F C | connector for the Qi charger |
| G S | ATA power connector |
| H LED switch | connector |
| I C | connection cable for fan controller slider switch |
| J S | switches for choosing between Silence and Performance modes |
4.4 Use of fan controller
The fan controller has two modes of operation.
1. Automatic operation
In this case the PWM signal of the motherboard is used and the speed of all PWM fans connected is automatically regulated by the motherboard. To enable this the slider switch must be positioned at position "0" completely to the left. For the automatic PWM fan controller to function, a cable must connect port "A" on the PCB panel to the PWM connector on your motherboard. Lacking this connection it is only possible to regulate the speed of the fans connected manually.
2. Manual control
Whenever the fan controller slider switch is moved rightwards away from its far left position, the PWM signal is ignored and the speed of the fans is manually controlled in a stepless range. In total eight PWM fans can be connected to the fan controller PCB. These eight sockets are divided into two channels (left and right) each with four connections. By setting the switches "J" on the PCB it is possible to choose between Silence and Performance modes independently for both of these channels. According to these switch positions the range of fan speeds possible are 400 - 1,040rpm in Silence mode and 800 - 1,600rpm in Performance mode.
If the slider switch is returned to its starting position "0" on the far left, the PWM signal regains control of fans.
4.5 Installation and handling of the LEDs
It is possible to freely position the LED lighting supplied in the case to suit your system setup by affixing and connecting the adhesive strips. The LED strips must be connected to connector "E" on the PCB panel.
Description of the LEDs
The LED lighting included in the scope of delivery is controllable in several modes of color and operation. Connector "D" on the PCB panel can be used to connect additional LED lighting strips up to a maximum of 24 watts for lighting the interior of the case. It is also possible to link the LED strips supplied directly together and in this way extend them.
WARNING! Only 12V LEDs may be connected.
In manual mode by briefly pressing switch "D" on the front panel it is possible to cycle through the colors. When "breath mode" is enabled there is an intermediate step between each color.
| 1 W | White 8 Blue breath | ||
| 2 W | White breath 9 Orange | ||
| 3 Red 10 Orange breath | |||
| 4 Red breath 11 Purple | |||
| 5 Green 12 Purple breath | |||
| 6 | Green breath | 13 | Breath mode alternately in all colors |
| 7 Blue 14 LEDs off |
Synchronized operation
To toggle between manual and synchronized operation hold down switch "D" on the front panel for about three seconds.
In synchronized operation, connector "C" on the LED controller PCB is connected to the socket designated for RGB LED on the motherboard. The integrated lighting is then controlled by the motherboard, with the same range of colors.
For information about operation of the LED controller of your motherboard please refer to the motherboard handbook.
4.6 Charging station for Qi enabled devices
The preinstalled charging station provides contactless charging of any device that conforms to the Qi standard. If your device (e.g. your smartphone) is so equipped you can charge your device by simply placing it on area "I" on the top of the case, without the need to plug it in.
In so doing, make sure you place the device so that its charge receptor is positioned centrally on charging surface "I".
