3.5" Device Installation
There is one 3.5 " drive cage inside
the case. The upper portion can hold
2 external 3.5 " drives, and the
lower portion can hold 4 internal
3.5 " drives.

Mount your external 3.5 "
drives into the top t wo
drive bays. Load the drives
from the back, lining them
up to the front of the drive
cage.
Use one hand to support
the drive, and fasten the
drive to the cage with the
screws provided.
Mount your hard drive or
other internal 3.5 " device
into the drive cage by
threading the special
screws through the rubber
grommets. Don't overtighten the screws, since
that could decrease the
grommets' ability to reduce vibration and noise.
Find a small 4-pin connector on the power supply
and connect it to the male
4-pin connector on the
floppy drive.
Connect a 4-pin large connector from the power
supply to the male 4-pin
connector on each of the
other devices.
5.25" Device Installation

There are three metal
plates covering the
5.25 " drive bays.
Carefully use your
hands to t wist the
metal plate back and
forth until it breaks off.
Note: Don't break off the plates
covering the drive bays that you
are not using now. Be careful of
the newly exposed metal are
likely to be sharp.

Using the screws provided, fasten your
5.25 " device into the
drive bay.
Repeat the same procedure for other 5.25"
devices.
Connect a large 4-pin
white connector from
the power supply to the
male 4-pin connector
on each of the devices.
Like the metal plates,
take off only the covers
for the drive bays you
are using now.
Installing the Fan
We've included one low-speed 120mm exhaust fan with
this case.
1.
In the front of the case,
you'll also find a mount
for an optional 120mm
intake fan. This rear fan
is installed so that the air
blows out of the case.
2. Find the Temperature
Gauge Blue 4-Pin connector and connect it to
the male 4-pin connector
on the fan.
Note: Please do not connect this
4-pin connector on the fan to the
power supply directly. It could
cause a big noise and result in
damage to your 120mm fan and
could void your warranty.

INSTALLING THE BLACK WIDOW THERMAL SENSOR
This LED Thermal Sensor is an unique and convenient design. It
will change the color to alert you when temperature exceeds the
preset limit.
1.
Connect the Temperature Gauge (Below
called TG) Blue 4-Pin
connector with the
120mm fan 4-Pin connector.
2.
Connect the TG white
4-PIN connector with
the Power supply 4-Pin
power connector.

3.
Take out the red thermalresistant probe from the accessories pack, then attach the yellow probe on the object which
you want to test (Suggested to
stick the probe at the bottom
inside of the case or right below
the 120mm fan, see Picture A),
upon testing, this is the most
suitable position to detect the
temperature of the system accurately.
Note: This temperature probe is design
to detect the temperature of the system,

5.
Open the attached white
small box, take out the plastic transparent Spider. With
the spider head facing down,
attach the Spider at the top
left hand corner of the front
panel. (To prevent from
breaking the plastic spider
legs, avoid pressing on the
legs of the spider, please
Function: The Default temperature setting for this
Spider-shape Thermal Sensor is Fahrenheit. When
the computer system is booting up, the plastic
spider will become blue color which indicates the
temperature of the system is in the normal level.
The speed of the fan is 800RPM. When the temperature of the system is higher than 100 °F, the
plastic spider turn to red color as a warning signal, the speed of the fan will automatically become 2000RPM. After the temperature declines
to 100 °F or below, the speed of the fan will be
reduced to 800RPM and the plastic spider will
become blue color as normal again.
