CONNECTING THE AUDIO PORTS
There is an Intel standard 10-pin connector (with 7 individual wires with connectors) coming out
from the front panel speaker and microphone connection If your motherboard supports Intel's
standard onboard audio connector, you can plug in the 10-pin connector directly onto the board.
For non-Intel standard audio connection, you need to plug the 7 individual connectors to the
motherboard. See instructions below:
Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card. Consult your
motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.
1. Microphone Signal Pin: Connect the MIC connector to this pin.
2. Microphone Power: Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to this pin.
3. Ground Pin: Connect the GND connector to this pin.
4. Front Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-R connector to this pin.
5. Front Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect to the FPOUT-L connector to this pin.
6. Rear Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect to the RET-R connector to this pin.
7. Rear Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect the RET-L connector to this pin.
Note: Your motherboard may not support rear speaker output. In this case, you do not need
to connect RET-R and RET-L.
3.5" DEVICE INSTALLATION
With the front bezel facing you, swing the plastic door out. It can open 270 degrees to rest against
the side of the case. You can see there are four 5.25" and two 3.5" external drive bays. Inside the
case there are two 3.5" drive cages that house six 3.5" drive bays of which two are for external 3.5"
devices and four are for internal 3.5" devices.
1. Pull the quick release lever towards the rear of the case and release the top cage first. Looking
from the rear of the case you can see some metal grills over the exposed (external) drive bays.
Carefully put a screwdriver through the metal grill and gently push the plastic drive bay cover
until it comes off. Carefully use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it
breaks off.
Note: Don't remove the covers and plates for the drive bays that you are not using now. Be
careful of the newly exposed metal where the grills were attached, as these areas are likely to
be sharp.
2. Install your floppy drive into the top 3.5" drive bay.
3. Mount your other 3.5" device into the drive cage.
4. Slide and lock the drive cage back into the case.
5. Release the second cage.
Note: Inside the cage you will find a fan bracket. If you want to have a cooling fan in the drive
cage, you should install the fan before installing the drives. For fan installation please see the
Fan installation section of this manual.
