Next, estimate the most direct route for the

tubing to the Apogee water-block, leave suf-

ficient tube length to make a nice and wide radius,
cut any excess and connect the tubes to the
Apogee barbs (in no particular order).

Tighten each tube to the barbs with the provided
hose clamps. Make sure the clamps close to the
last click.

You are now ready to move to the next step: filling-
up the system.

For safety reasons, do not connect the

power-supply to an electrical outlet, and

do not connect the motherboard to the power-sup-
ply at this point.
Swiftech assumes no liability expressed or implied
for any injury or death occuring as a result of elec-
trical shocks, including as a direct or indirect result
of defects in Swiftech components.

Mix the 2oz bottle of HydrX included with your
accessories to 1/2 a liter of distilled water (do not
use tap or mineral water), and proceed with the next
steps.

We suggest that you install the Apogee

water-block to the motherboard before you

install the motherboard into the case. This will be
more convenient to cut the appropriate length of
tubing.

Please follow the Apogee installation guide included
in the box for how to setup your water-block with dif-
ferent microprocessors.

Once done, proceed with the installation of the
motherboard into the case as shown in the following
steps.

Lay the case flat on its back, and engage the moth-
erboard with the rear connectors side first as shown
above.

Gently push the tubing aside to free a passage for
the motherboard.

The motherboard is now ready to be fastened to the
chassis.

Unfasten screws from both side-panels, and set
panels aside

This is the system as shipped

Unfasten and remove both hard drive cages: your
accessories are inside

Unfasten and remove the power supply frame: your
water-block is inside

You are now ready to populate the Quiet

Power case with your components just as

you would any other case.

We do recommend installing the power supply first.
Standard ATX PSU’s will fit without issues. Modular
units are 1 inch longer than normal, and require
relocation of the pump and the lowermost 120mm
fan and duct assembly. A second set of holes is
available to relocate the pum

p.

Please go to steps A thru E if you
are using a modular PSU.

Loosen the two screws holding the reservoir to the
