Step 1.
Locate the Divider(s) and one Mid-Chassis. This step will determine motherboard placement and orientation. Please
follow the steps below based on how you would like the case to be configured.
Left and Right Sides
The TX10 has two different mounting locations for the divider which hold the motherboard in place, left and right
(determined when looking at the front of the case). The dividers are universal for both the left and right side.
The Mid-Chassis have two sets of mount holes down the middle of the parts. These holes are where the divider attaches
too. Mid-Chassis are universal for top and bottom.

Standard, Reverse and Dual Mounting
There are three main configurations for the TX10; standard, reverse and dual. Standard requires mounting the divider to
the left side as shown below (left). Reverse requires mounting the divider to the right side as shown below (right).
Please note that the motherboard tray guides and bends on the divider face in towards the center of the Mid-Chassis
(see image below)
Dual requires use of both mounting positions. Please note that if the case has been configured with both XL-ATX and
HPTX dividers that it is determined now which side each divider will mount too.
Choose one of the 3 options above, and using the countersink screws, attach the Divider(s) to the Mid-Chassis as shown.
Please note that countersink screws will be used throughout the assembly process the build the complete chassis.

Step 2.
Locate the second Mid-Chassis and attach as shown. Please note that the long bends down the sides of the Mid-Chassis
face each other.
Step 3.
Locate the Rear Chassis Section and note the “T” which represents the top of the part. Mount the Rear Chassis Section
to the Mid-Chassis/Divider assembly as shown. Be sure to maintain the proper orientation of the Rear Chassis to the
Mid-Chassis/Divider assembly. As a reference, the Divider in the standard position (left side) is the Divider which is
above the other Divider in the image below.

Step 4.
Locate the Top Chassis Section and note the “F” which represents the front of the part. Mount the Top Chassis Section
to the top of the Rear Chassis Section with the “F” opposite of the rear.
Step 5.
Locate the Bottom Chassis Section and note the “F” which represents the front of the part. Mount the Bottom Chassis
Section to the Bottom of the Rear Chassis Section with the “F” opposite of the rear.

Step 6.
Locate the Front Chassis Section and remove the Front Cover by gently lifting up on each corner and in the middle of the
part (There are 6 clips which secure the Front Cover to the Front Chassis Section.). Set the Front Cover aside and note
the “T” which represents the top of the Front Chassis Section. Mount the Front Chassis Section as shown while
maintaining the proper orientation.
Step 7.
With the frame complete locate the Casters and mount to the bottom of the case as shown. Once installed turn the
frame upright.

Step 8.
Remove the PCI back-plate(s) from the rear of the case by loosening the thumbscrews on each corner. Locate the
Motherboard Tray Handle(s) and attached to the PCI back-plates as shown.
Locate the Motherboard Tray(s) and mount to the PCI backplate(s) with the screws attached to the outside of the
Motherboard Tray(s) bag.

Step 9.
Slide the Motherboard Tray(s) into the guides on the Divider(s), and secure in place by tightening each of the
thumbscrews on the backside of the PCI backplate(s).
The Dividers have oblong holes where the Motherboard Tray Guides mount too. These oblong holes are to allow for
adjustment of the tray, and may need to be adjusted if the tray feels too loose or too tight.
To adjust the guides loosen the screws by about ½ to ¾ of a turn (just enough to allow movement) and adjust up or
down as needed. Please note it may be easier to adjust the lower guide by removing the plate directly behind the tray
and reaching in through the CPU cut-out. The top guides can be accessed by the large opening on the upper Mid-
Chassis.

Step 10.
Locate the Switch Assembly and mount to the front of the case as shown with the screws provided in the bag.
Step 11.
Locate and install the Flex-Bay Separator Plates if desired.
Step 12.
Locate the clip kit and install clips on stand-offs as shown.

Step 13.
Locate the hinge kit and install the “L” shaped female hinges on the rear chassis as shown.
Install the male hinges on the doors as shown and mount door to the female hinges on the Rear Chassis Section

Step 14.
Locate and mount the Side Covers to the sides of the upper and lower chambers. Locate the Top Cover and mount to the
top of the case. Lastly, reinstall the Front Cover
