1.
Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface with the
rear of the case facing you.
2. Remove the thumbscrews from the right side panel.
Grip the panel at the top and bottom and slide it toward
you to open the case.
3. Remove the screws from the left side panel. Grip the
panel at the top and bottom and slide it toward you to
remove the left side panel.
Note: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the
panels.
Inside the case you should see two separate chambers: the upper chamber for the motherboard,
externally accessible drives and hard drives; and the lower chamber for the power supply and hard
drives. You will also find some wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR, etc.), the installed I/O panel,
a box containing one set each of drive rails for a 5.25” drive and a floppy disk drive, and a tool box
attached to the upper HDD cage containing more hardware (screws, brass standoffs, spare silicone
grommets, etc.).

Most power cables can be routed behind the motherboard through the cable management
compartment. If some cables can’t reach, run them through the passage that goes straight into the
motherboard compartment.
1. Remove both side panels.
2. If you are installing an Antec CP series power supply, you will need to
remove the PSU adapter plate.
3. Slide the power supply into the case. If not routing cables through the
cable management compartment behind the motherboard, route
cables through the covered opening. This will save a few inches of
cable travel and help improve airflow in the power supply
compartment.
Note: Power supplies with fans on the bottom will need to be
mounted so that the fan is facing the top of the case. There are
mounting holes for power supplies to be installed upside up or
upside down.
4. Secure the power supply by fastening it to the back of the case with
the provided screws.
