Next we have the power supply frame, which is located right behind the motherboard. There is a silver handle that you should press and pull to remove it. The power supply is installed sideways in this case, which is not convenient at all to install the AC power cord. Antec recommends the use of power supplies with 80-mm fans on the rear instead of units with 120- or 140-mm fans on their bottoms. If you have already bought a power supply using a fan on the bottom, the unit must be installed upside down, i.e. with its fan facing up.  click to enlarge Figure 11: Power supply frame.

Installing daughter boards is a little bit tricky, because you need to first remove the transparent plastic support where they will be attached to from the plastic frame. In order to do that you need to remove regular Philips screws. Then you can go ahead and install the daughter boards to the motherboard, preferably with the bottom part still pulled from the case. Next you need to fasten the boards to the support. You can only attach the support back to the case after sliding the bottom part back to the case.  click to enlarge Figure 13: Support for daughter boards.
Paying attention to Figure 13 you will see that this case supports eight daughter boards and not only seven as usual. This extra space can be used by an I/O bracket (a bracket containing more USB ports, for example). |
