CONNECTING THE POWER AND LED
1. Connect the 24-pin or 20-pin ATX power connector and +12V 4-pin connector to your
motherboard. Note: an ATX12V v2.0 power supply comes with a 24-pin power connector.
This is the latest Intel form factor power supply.
2. Connect the Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) to your motherboard at the RST connector.
Make sure the label always faces the front of the case.
3. Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connector is located behind the Reset connector.
4. Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on the motherboard.
5. Speaker (labeled SPEAKER) connector is behind the PWR connector.
6. Hard Drive LED (labeled HDD) connects to the IDE connector.
7. LED I, LED II connectors: This case comes with two extra LEDs, marked I, II. You may use
these LED for various purposes such as SC SI LED, Message LED, etc.
CONNECTING THE USB PORTS
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front USB ports. This is an Intel
standard connector, which is keyed so that it can't be accidently reversed as long as it is
connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to your
motherboard headers so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your USB header pin layout and make sure it
matches the attached table. If it does not match this Intel standard, please call Antec customer
service at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or +31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to buy a USB
adapter. This adapter will allow you to connect the front USB to your motherboard on a
pin-by-pin basis.
CONNECTING THE IEEE 1394 (FIREWIRE®, I.LINK®) PORT
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front IEEE 1394 connection.
This is an Intel standard connector which is keyed so that it can't be accidentally reversed as long
as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector
to your motherboard header so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your IEEE 1394 header pin layout and make
sure it matches the attached table. If you intend to connect the front FireWire port to an IEEE
1394 add-on card that comes with an external-type IEEE 1394 connector, please call Antec
customer service at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or +31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to buy an
adapter. This adapter will allow you to connect the front IEEE 1394 port to the external-type
connector.
