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 H.D.D. LED) connects to the IDE connector.
7. LED I, LED II connectors: This case comes with two extra LED marked LED I,
LED II. You may use these LED for various purposes such as SCSI LED, Message
LED (blinks when your modem received fax or mail), etc.
USB Connection
There are 8 wires with connectors coming from the front mounted USB ports of the case.
1.
Locate the internal USB header pins on your motherboard. They should consist of
10-pins in two rows.
Note: On some motherboards one or two pins may be marked as NC. This indicates
no contact. It is an empty pin. You don't need to use it. On some motherboards one
pin may be missing on either one or both rows. Don't worry about it. You only need
8 pins to connect to.
2. Consult your motherboard manual to get each of the pin-out positions.
3. Power Pins: There are two power pins, one on each row. They are usually marked as
Power, Vcc or +5V. Connect the two +5V connectors to the two power pins. Each
connector can go to either pin.
4. Ground Pins: There are two ground pins, one on each row. They are usually marked
as GROUND or GND. Connect the two GROUND connectors to the two ground pins.
Each connector can go to either pin.
Note: On some motherboards, there may be two ground pins on one row. You don't
need to use all of them. Make sure to connect one ground pin on each row.
5. Data Pins: There are two plus data pins, one on each row, and two minus data pins,
one on each row. They are usually marked as USBD2+, USBD3+ and USBD2-,
USBD3- or USBP2+, USBP3+, and USBP2-, USBP3- respectively.
a. Connect the 1 +D connector to any of the two plus data pins. It can go to either
of the plus pins.
b. Connect the 1 -D connector to the minus data pin in the same row as the plus
data pin that 1 +D connector has just connected to.
c. Repeat the same procedures to connect the 2 +D and 2 -D to the motherboard.
Make sure they are in the same row.
IEEE1394 (FireWire, I-Link) Connection
There are six wires with connectors coming from the front mounted IEEE1394 port of your
case. They consist of 2 sets of twisted pair cables; TPA (Twisted Pair A) and TPB (Twisted
Pair B), a power cable (VP), and a ground cable (VG).
1.
Locate and identify the pin-out of the IEEE1394 port on your motherboard.
2. Power Pin: Connect the VP connector to it.
3. Ground Pin: Connect the VG connector to it.
4. Data Pins: There are two sets of data pins. Each set consists of a plus and a minus pin.
They are usually marked as TPA+ and TPA-, TPB+ and TPB-.
a. Connect the TPA+ connector to the TPA+ data pin and TPA- connector to the
TPA- data pin.
b. Connect the TPB+ connector to the TPB+ data pin and TPB- connector to the
TPB- data pin.

Set Up
1.
Take the case out of the box.
2. Remove the Styrofoam.
3. Remove the plastic bag.
4. Place the case upright on a stable flat surface with the power supply fan at the back
facing you .
5. Remove the screws from the side panel with the latch, unlatch the panel, and swing
it out to remove.
Note: Please doesn't try to use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels.
6. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked connectors
(USB, IEEE1394, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag
containing more hardware (screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.), and ten Drive
Rails.
Motherboard Installation
This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please
consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.
1.
Lay the case down so that the open side is up. You should be able to see the drive
cage and power supply.
2. Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel
provided is not suitable for your motherboard, please contact your motherboard
manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3. Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes, determine which ones line up and
remember where they are. Not all motherboards will match with all of the provided
screw holes, and this is not necessary for proper functionality. (In other words there
will likely be extra holes.) Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience.
4. Lift up and remove your motherboard.
5. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with your motherboard.
6. Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided metallic Phillips- head
screws.
8. Your motherboard is now installed.
Power/LED Connections
The Antec TruePower power supply is an ATX12V form factor power supply. An ATX12V
power supply has a single 20-pin Main Power Connector, a 6-pin AUX Power Connector,
and a 4-pin +12V Power Connector for the motherboard. It also comes with five to seven
4-pin Peripheral Power Connectors and one to two 4-pin Floppy Drive Power Connectors for
your drives. It is backwards-compatible to previous ATX form factor power supplies. If
your motherboard does not support the AUX Power Connector or the +12V Power
Connector, you can still use this power supply.
The TruePower power supply is also equipped with a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect it
to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You may monitor the speed of the power
supply rear fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the monitoring software that
comes with your motherboard.
Note: The speed of the fan may be as low as 1500 RPM when temperatures are low. At
these speeds some motherboards may not be able to properly detect the fan speed and may
generate false warnings of fan failure. Please refer to your motherboard manual for proper
fan monitoring set up.
1.
Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector (and AUX or +12V connectors if
appropriate) to your motherboard.
2. Reset (labeled RESET SW) connects to your motherboard at the RST connector.
The label should be facing the front of the case, and for all of the following connectors
as well.
3. Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connector is located behind the Reset connector.
