Preparation

12
A stable and clean working environment are essential. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a
malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most
of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:
A Philips screwdriver
A flat-tipped screwdriver
A set of jewelers Screwdrivers
A grounding strap
An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use
needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.
Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off. Ground yourself before touching any
internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is
warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working
on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the case.
If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively,
discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Never touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped with until they are ready for
installation.
Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
2.1 Before You Begin
2.2 Precautions

13
This is the first step of all to proceed with, if you are to install (or change) a processor (hard drive or memory
module).
Please remove the 4 screws as indicated in the places below, prior to any moving of the top cover. It is
recommended to push the top cover backwards so as to detach the cover tongue out of the snatch-up at front
side, before the lift-up or removal of the top cover.
Securing the screws is essential for they would be re-used for the restoration of the top cover, after all
preparation procedures are completed.

2.3
Open Up Top Cover

14
It is sometimes necessary to remove the power supply if you are to touch the part of processor, cooler, memory,
or any particular part/cable underneath the power supply module. Removing power supply requires massive
amount of complicated work to be carefully minded, including the disengagement of all power cables plugged
on the motherboard and hard drives, suggesting the possibility to finish up the job in half an hour as total.
Please assess thoughtfully prior to this operation.
Procedures:
(1) Turn off the system and open up the top cover.
(2) Disengage the 24-pin ATX and 4-pin 12V power cable off the motherboard.
(3) Disengage the SATA power cable off the 2.5” Hard Drive, if there is any.
(4) Remove the 2 side screws that snatch the supporting bracket against the chassis (from inside).
(5) Remove the 4 screws that secure the rear side of the power supply.
(6) It is time to gently and carefully withdraw the power supply out of the chassis.
Please refer to the Manual of BNX-A87P motherboard for substantial details as to adding processor, cooler,
and memory.
2.4 Removing Power Supply
2.5 Accessing Processor & Memory

16
Procedures to add 2.5” SATA Hard Drives into front tray:
(1) Turn off the system.
(2) Push the door notch aside and the door would
pop-up open.
(3) Insert the 2.5” SATA HDD into the tray, and push the
door to close it.
Please be noted that if the motherboard BIOS has configured the SATA mode to AHCI mode, removing one of
the SATA HDDs without shutting down the system is presumably allowed, provided this Hard Drive is not the
system Hard Drive. However, mind to install Intel® AHCI driver and disengage this Hard Drive by using Intel®
RST software prior to pulling it out. A similar procedure can be repeated to add the Hard Drive back. After the
new Hard Drive is added back to tray, accessing the software to engage the Hard Drive so it can be attached to
the controller before you can see and use it. In case of RAID mode, acquiring a basic concept of to adequately
operate RAID HDDs is adamant.
Procedures to add 2.5” internal SATA Hard Drive:
(1) Turn off the system and open up the top cover.
(2) Find the four screws fastened on the Hard Drive bracket (red circles as below). Remove these screws to acquire
the Hard Drive bracket.


Procedures to add 3.5” SATA Hard Drives:
(1) Turn off the system and open up the top cover.
(2) Find the four screws fastened on the Hard Drive bracket (red circles as below). Remove these screws to acquire
the Hard Drive bracket.

(3) As illustrated below, please have the 3.5” Hard Drive assembled with this bracket, and add from below the
subset four screws enclosed in the accessory screw bag for a perfect and firm Hard Drive subset. If the
bracket and HDD do not match by screw holes, please turn around the HDD to achieve this goal.

(4) Restore this Hard Drive subset back to the chassis, and add the four screws back to position.
(5) Add SATA signal cable and SATA power cable to complete the work.

18
Please remove the four screws to detach the front bezel. After the bezel is detached, system fan and internal
filter can be accessed. Remove one screw (the blue circle) to disengage the fan bracket off the front panel.
Please put the fan cable off the motherboard connector before pulling the fan bracket out of the place.

The two screws below (red circles) hold the filter cover on the fan bracket. Please get rid of them to access the
filter. As the filter is not at the place, the four screws that hold the system fan on this bracket can be found.
Twist them to have them off the place just to separate the system fan from the bracket.
