correct.
Life Style Case
Fusion User’s Manual
The Power Supply
Fusion comes with a 430Watt universal input, active PFC single 80mm fan cooled
power supply with the newest ATX12V version 2.01 specifications. This include
dual 12V output rails that delivers safer and more reliable output to your system’s
components, as well as higher energy efficiency, which reduces power
consumption by up to 25% saving you money on your electricity bill. In addition
we’ve included a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OPP (over power
protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVP (under voltage protection), and
SCP (short circuit protection).
The power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the
switch to the ON ( I ) position before you boot up your computer for the first time.
Normally, you won't need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power
supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn your computer on and off
by using the soft switch on your computer case. If your computer crashes and you
can't shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the
OFF (O) position to clear the fault, then reboot.
The power supply features Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance
with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input cur-
rent wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the power supply. This results
in increased energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, prolonged life for power distribu-
tion and consumption equipment, and improved output voltage stability. Together
with the high efficiency design and the quiet 80mm fan, the power supply delivers
not only cleaner but also quiet
operating environment.
Setting Up
1. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface.
2. Remove the thumbscrews from the back of the top panel. Slide the panel
towards the rear to remove it from the case.
3. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked

The Triple Chamber structure
Upon opening the top panel, you will find the case is divided into three
chambers – the power supply chamber, the motherboard chamber and the HDD
chamber. This triple chamber structure isolates the heat and noise from each
other resulting in much quieter and cooler operation than a traditional desktop case.
Installing the Motherboard
This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation.
Please consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and
troubleshooting.
The motherboard is located inside the main chamber with two 120mm TriCool™
fans preinstalled at the side of the case right next to the CPU to cool the hottest
CPU on the market.
1. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power
supply should be visible.
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.
3. Line up your motherboard with the standoff holes, and remember which holes
are lined up. Not all motherboards will match with all the provided holes; this is
normal, and won’t affect functionally. (In other words, there will likely be extra
holes.)
4. Remove your motherboard by lifting it up.
5. Screw the brass standoffs into the threaded holes that line up with your
motherboard. Do not overtighten the standoffs. Some standoffs may be
pre-installed for your convenience.
6. Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Screw in your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Philips-head
screws. Your motherboard is now installed.
Connecting the Power and LED
The power supply conforms to the ATX12V Version 2.01 standard. It is also
backwards compatible with most previous ATX12V form factor motherboards.
Before you connect the power supply to any of your devices, please consult the
appropriate user manuals for your motherboard and other peripherals.
Note: this power supply does not provide a –5V line. Few modern motherboards
(and none compliant with ATX12V v2.0 and above) require –5V power, but if
yours does then this power supply may not be compatible with it.
1. Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and the 4-pin connector to your
motherboard as needed. If your motherboard uses a
20-pin connector; detach the 4-pin attachment on
the 24-pin power connector (see pictures 1 and 2).
2. Connect the Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) to
your motherboard at the RST connector. Make sure
the label always faces the front of the case.
3. Power LED (labeled POWER LED) connector is
located behind the Reset connector.
4. Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) connects to the PWR connector on the
motherboard.
5. Hard Drive LED (labeled H.D.D. LED) connects to the IDE connector.

2. Mount the left side of your hard drives (facing from the front of the hard drive)
onto the drive bracket through the top silicone
grommets with the special screws provided
(see picture 4). Don’t over-tighten.
Over-tightening the screws will harm the vibra-
tion and noise reducing ability of the silicone
grommets.
3. Drop the HDD/bracket assembly back into the
case. Each hard drive should rest on two soft
silicone grommets preinstalled at the bottom of
the case.
4. Fasten the bracket using the screws provided.
5. Find a 4-pin Molex or a SATA connector on the
power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin
connector on the device.
5.25” Device Installation
This case comes with one 5.25” external drive bay right under the VFD.
To install the external 5.25” device:
1. Remove the flip-up drive cage.
2. Insert the 5’25” device into the lower 5.25”
drive bay of the cage. Make sure to use
the rear set of screw holes on the cage to
mount the device. Fasten the drive with the
screws included. (See Picture 5)
Note: the upper 5.25” drive bay is reserved
for VFD. Do not mount any device into this
bay.
3. Find a 4-pin Molex connector on the power
supply and connect it to the male 4-pin connector on the device.
Cooling System
The 120mm TriCool™ fans
The Fusion comes with two 120mm TriCool™ fans preinstalled at the side of the
case inside the motherboard chamber. These two fans sit right next to the CPU to
cool the hottest CPU on the market. Note: The default setting of the fan is Low.
We recommend this speed for maximum quiet computing.
This fan has a three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet, perfor-
mance, or maximum cooling. (See specifications below.) The fan is installed so
that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the
power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.
Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend that our users
set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device
or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan-control-
device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage may start
as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ set on Medium or Low to a fan-con-
trol device may result in the fan not being able to start. The already lowered volt-
age from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool™ circuitry
below 5V.

The Bottom Air Intake
There are intake vents at the bottom of the case right under the HDD chamber.
Fresh cool air will flow through the vents through the hard drives, and then flow
into the motherboard chamber and exhaust by the two 120mm TriCool™ fans.
Note: do not place the Fusion on a soft surface or over anything that will block the
bottom air vents
The Upper Air Intake
There are vents on the top panel above the PCI expansion slot. Fresh cool air will
flow through it into the motherboard chamber to cool the hottest VGA card.
Note: do not place anything on top of the Fusion that will block the top air vents
The Rear Air Intake
There are vents right above the rear I/O panel and on the PCI expansion slot cov-
ers to bring in fresh cool air to help cool the CPU and VGA card.
CPU Air Guide
Integrated with the CPU Air Guide, fresh air from the rear air intake can be
directed to the CPU cooler to enhance the CPU cooling. CPU Guide consists of
several sections which can be adjusted by adding or removing it to best suit each
individual motherboard CPU position.
The Power Supply Air Intake
There are vents on the left side of the case to bring fresh cool air into the power
supply chamber to cool the power supply.
Note: please leave at least 1” (2.5cm) between the left side of the case and
anything that could block airflow to the power supply. This is required so that the
power supply will have sufficient cooling.
