X-Jupiter
Finished Appearance.
Window version
25cm Fan version
NOTE: CPU and memory installation is not covered in this
manual. Please refer to the components’ documentation
for instructions.
1. Motherboard installation:
1.2 Push handle forward to release
(window version). Pull the notch
on the side panel in the opposite
direction of the red arrow above
(fan version).Open and remove
panel.
1.1 Remove thumbscrews from the
rear of the X-Jupiter.
1
1.3 If your motherboard included an
IO shield, you must remove the
X-Jupiter's IO shield. Use thumbs
or other object to push shield inward (cover area with a cloth to
avoid injury from metal edges!).
1.4 Refer to the motherboard holes
index for standoff placement for
your motherboard type. A full
ATX (12”x9.6”) board will use
notches A1-A9. Some motherboards may not use all notches.
Use any notches that line up
with your motherboard.
NOTE: Touch an unpainted metal
section of the chassis to discharge
static electricity before handling PC
components. An anti-static wrist
strap should also be worn to further
minimize the possibility of damage.
1.5 Put brass standoffs in place. Align
motherboard with standoffs and
mount to case. This ATX motherboard (12”x8.3”) only used notches A1-A6. M8 was also used since
it lined up.

2. Install 3½” and 5¼” drives:
2.1 To install an optical or floppy drive,
remove the drive cover by placing
an index finger into either inlet and
pulling outward.
2.2 For 5 1/4” drives, find the mounting
rails labeled ODD (optical disk drive).
Align left and right rails with drive,
and attach. For 3 1/2” drives, use the
rails labeled FDD (floppy disk drive).
Screwdriver NOT required!
2.3 Align rails with drive bay and
insert.
2.4 For hard-disk drives, find the
mounting rails labeled ‘HDD’
Attach rails to both sides of
the drive.
3
2.5 Align rails with hard drive bay
and insert.
3. Install PCI components:
3.1 First, remove PCI slot covers. Lift
the ‘latch’, and open.
3.2 From the outside rear of the case,
push PCI slot cover(s) toward the
inside of the chassis.
4
3.3 Read your expansion card’s
documentation. Install card
into correct slot for your card
type (x1, x16, etc.). Once the
card is seated firmly, return
latch to the initial position.
4. Fan installation and setup:
4.1 In addition to fans included, you
may opt to install an 8 or 12cm
‘blowhole’ fan. In the above picture, the arrows indicate which
holes to use for mounting a
12cm fan.
4.2 Inside the chassis, mount fan to
the underside of ‘blowhole’ area
and screw into place. Make sure
the top vent is in the ‘Open’ position to allow warm air to escape.
5
4.4 Connect both fan controller ‘INPUT’s
to any available 4-pin power supply
connectors. Control air flow using the
respective knob on front of the case.
4.3 Select those to be used as intake fans
and connect male to female ends. The
remaining male end is connected to the
‘OUTPUT’ connector of the ‘cool air in’
fan controller. Repeat the steps for
exhaust fans using the ‘hot air out’ line.
5. Temperature probe setup:
5.1 Locate the two device temperature
probes
5.2 Place the probe labeled ‘CPU’ to any
‘fin’ on the CPU’s heatsink and tape
in place. Thermal tape should be
used for best results.
6
5.4 Plug the 4-pin connector belonging
to the LCD into the power supply to
monitor system temperatures.
5.3 Place the probe labeled ‘HDD’ to the
hard-drive’s surface. Use thermal
tape for best results.
Note: You may also leave a sensor loose in the chassis in order to monitor
the ambient system temperature. DO NOT place the sensor directly on the
CPU as it will damage the sensor.
6. Connect case leads to motherboard:
6.1 Locate the top panel leads. There is
also a USB lead for the front panel.
Your motherboard documentation
will provide schematics. The triangular markings
on the leads indicate positive wires.
6.2 Locate front panel leads and case
speaker. Again, refer to your
motherboard’s documentation
for placement schematics.
7
7. Identify power supply connectors:
(For power supply version only)
7.1 ATX 20/24 Pin main connector
7.2 ATX 12V 4/8 Pin CPU connector.
7.3 4-pin Peripheral connector.
7.4 Serial ATA (SATA) connector.
7.5 PCI-Express connector.
7.6 Floppy drive connector.
Connect PC components to the required power connector
for each device type.

8. Complete the installation:
8.1 With all components properly installed, gently
return side panels to their original positions
and replace all screws. Congratulations! You
have completed assembly of the X-Jupiter.
