6. Mount your other 3.5" devices into the drive cage.
7. Slide and lock the drive cage back into the case.
8. Find the proper connector on the power supply (SATA, floppy, or standard 4-pin) and
connect it to the male connector on your device.
5.25" DEVICE INSTALLATION
1. Take off the plastic drive bay covers and metal plates as described above.
2. Take two of the drive rails and mount them to the sides of the 5.25" device. Make sure the
metal portion is angled away from the device and facing forward.
3. Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear the rails click.
4. Mount the other devices accordingly. Connect the proper connector (SATA or standard 4-pin)
from the power supply to the male connector on the device.
THE COOLING SYSTEM
The TriCool Fan
The case includes one 120mm Blue LED TriCool fan installed in the rear. This fan comes with a
three-speed switch that lets you balance quiet performance with maximum cooling
(See specifications below). The fan is installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect
a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.
Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend setting the fan speed to High
if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector from an
Antec TruePower supply. A fan control device regulates fan speed by varying the voltage to it,
and the voltage may start as low as 4.5 V to 5V. Setting the TriCool speed to Medium or Low and
connecting it to a fan control device may result in the fan not being able to start as the already low
voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry to lower than 5V.
Specifications
Size:
120 x 120 x 25.4 mm
Rated Voltage: DC 12V
Operating Voltage: 10.2V~13.8V
This case comes with two 80mm front fan mounts and one 80mm side fan mount should you
choose to install additional cooling fans.
Front 80mm fan mounts
There are two plastic fan cages. One of them is located inside the 3.5" drive cage to cool your hard
drives directly. You should install this fan before you mount your HDD drives into the cage. Install
both front-mounted fans by dropping the fan to the cage and pushing it in until it snaps in place.
These fans must be installed so that the air is blowing into the case. We recommend using Antec
80mm TriCool fans to balance quiet performance with maximum cooling. (See our website for
more product information.) Note: Please choose your fan speed wisely. In most cases, a
medium or even low speed setting will be enough to supply adequate cooling.
