ISK 110 VESA U SER ’ S M ANUAL
At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. It’s possible
that your new case will differ slightly from the descriptions in this manual. This isn’t a problem; it’s
simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in
this manual are correct.
Disclaimer
This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer enclosures. For more comprehensive
instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the user’s manuals that
come with those components.
Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend
taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please
use reasonable precaution.
This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult the
motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before proceeding,
check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take before installing the
motherboard. While installing hardware, keep your case on a flat, stable surface.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
2.1 REMOVING THE LEFT PANEL
Lay the case on its right side, with the I/O panel facing you.
You will be removing the left panel (the one with the fan)
1. Remove the two screws from the rear of the panel.
2. Using your thumbs, push up on the rear of the panel until the entire
panel pops free from the rest of the chassis.
Note: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the
panels.
2.2MOTHERBOARD INSTALLATION
1. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up.
2. Make sure you have the correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If
the panel provided with the case isn’t suitable, please contact your
motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel. Install the I/O
panel at the rear of the case.
3. Align your motherboard with the motherboard standoff holes
located at the rear of the case.
4. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided
Phillips-head screws.
5. Attach the 24-pin connector of the included cable bundle to the
motherboard and connect the 18-pin connector to the already
installed PCB in the case.
6. Your motherboard is now installed. Refer to section 3.1 for
instructions on how to connect the I/O panel cables.

2.3INTERNAL 2.5” DEVICE INSTALLATION
2.5” hard drives can be mounted to a bracket underneath the
motherboard. To access this bracket, you will need to remove the right side panel. If you have just
installed the motherboard, it can be helpful to replace the left side panel before continuing.
1. Lay the case down on its left side, and remove the right panel as
described in section 2.1.
2. Remove the four screws securing the bracket to the case (see
picture).
3. Attach the red insulating strips by removing the adhesive covering
and attaching them as shown in the picture.
4. Align your drive(s) such that all four screw holes in the drive will be
utilized.
5. Secure your hard drive(s) to the bracket using the supplied black
screws. Fasten screws to the bottom of the hard drive. The top of
the hard drive will face the motherboard and the back of the hard
drive will face the front of the case (see picture).
6. Place the insulating sheet on the exposed part of the motherboard
in the case.
7. Reattach the HDD tray to the case, and replace the four screws.
8. Connect the data and power connectors from the motherboard and
power supply to the device by pulling the connections through the
opening left between the motherboard and the case (see picture).
Note: It is important that you install the insulating sheets in step 3 to ensure that the
hard drive(s) and bracket do not come into contact.

C ONNECTING THE F RONT I/O P ORTS
3.1 USB 2.0
Connect the front I/O panel USB cables to the USB header pins on your motherboard. Check the
motherboard manual to ensure that it matches the table below:
3.2 HD AUDIO PORTS
There is an Intel® 10-pin HDA (High Definition Audio) connector linked to the front panel of the case.
10 6 4 2
9 7 5 3 1
Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card and connect the
corresponding audio cable. Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.

3.3POWER SWITCH /HARD DISK DRIVE LED CONNECTORS
Connected to your front panel are LED and switch leads for power and HDD
LED activity. Attach these to the corresponding connectors on your
motherboard. Consult your motherboard user’s manual for specific pin
header locations. For LEDs, colored wires are positive ( + ). White or black
wires are negative ( –). If the LED does not light up when the system is
powered on, try reversing the connection. For more information on
connecting LEDs to your motherboard, see your motherboard user’s manual.
Note: Polarity (positive and negative) does not matter for switches.
3.4REWIRING MOTHERBOARD HEADER CONNECTIONS
There may come a time when you need to reconfigure the pin-out of a motherboard header connector.
Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or some other front panel connector such
as the Power Button connector.
Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard user’s manual or your motherboard
manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin-out needed for your connector. We strongly recommend
making a notated drawing before beginning work so that you can recover if your work gets disturbed.
1. Determine which wires you need to remove in order to rewire your
plug to match the USB pin-outs on your motherboard (refer to your
motherboard user’s manual). Working on one connector at a time,
use a very small flathead screwdriver or similar tool to lift up on
the black tab located beside the gold posts (squares). This will
allow you to easily slide out the pins from the USB plug.
2. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors, or
pins, slowly remove the pin from the connector. Repeat these
steps for each wire you need to change.
3. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors or
pins, slowly reinsert the pin into the correct slot of the connector
then snap closed the black tab that was lifted in step 1. Repeat
these steps for each wire you need to change.

M OUNTING YOUR ISK 110 VESA
4.1 VESA MOUNTING SYSTEM
Your ISK 110 VESA comes with a VESA mounting system that will allow you to attach the case to a VESA
compatible mount.
1. Secure the included VESA mount to your LCD monitor with the screws provided before attaching
the case.
2. Attach the case to the mount by moving the case onto the hook, then slide the case onto the
hook to lock it into position.
3. (optional) Install up to 3 screws into the bottom of the assembly for added stability.
4.1 STAND MOUNTING
Your ISK 110 VESA also comes with a stand so the unit can be installed without use of the VESA mount if
needed.
1. Invert the case so that the bottom of the mounting system is facing up.
2. Align the stand with the base of the case such that the long foot is aligned with the front of the
unit.
3. Insert both feet into the proper holes in the case, and then slide the stand forward until it locks
into place.
4. (optional) Install 1 screw into the bottom of the assembly for added stability.
