Installing Graphic cards longer than 260mm
To be future proof, Core 1000 USB 3.0 supports graphic cards longer than 210mm
simply by only using the top HDD mount. When only one HDD is used, the chassis
supports graphic cards with lengths up to 350mm! Note however that you usually
cannot use the lower HDD mount when having a long graphics card, since the power
connector will hit the HDD tray.
Cleaning the fi lters
The fi lters are placed at the usual air intakes to prevent dust in the system. When they
get dirty they also obstruct the airfl ow and they need to be cleaned with a regular inter-
val for optimal cooling.
•
To clean the front fi lter, the front fan needs to be disconnected from the power
source. When they are disconnected, remove the front panel using the handle in
the bottom, pull outwards and the front should come off. Clean the fi lters and then
snap it back on. Don’t forget to connect the fan afterwards.
