Power Supply Installation
HDPLEX 200W AC-DC Adapter +HDPLEX 200W DC-ATX converter
For ITX motherboard, install the 200W AC-DC on the bottom plate.
For microATX motherboard, install 200W AC on the aluminum adapter plate
using 4pcs M3*4 screws.
The aluminum adapter plate with 200W AC is back mounted to the H3 V3 side
heatsink panel using four M3*12mm flat head screws I. This M3*12 flat head
screw is installed from the external side and go through four red circled holes on
the side heatsink panel.

HDPLEX 400W AC-DC Adapter +HDPLEX 400W DC-ATX converter
For ITX motherboard, install the 400W DC-ATX on the bottom plate first and
install the 400W AC-DC on the faceplate using 4pcs M3x4mm screws. The 400W
DC-ATX output connector will not be blocked by the 400W AC-DC if installed
correctly as below.
You can also install 400W DC-ATX converter on the bottom plate first. Install the
400W AC-DC adapter on the aluminum adapter plate and back mount them to
the side heatsink panel.

For microATX (especially full size microATX), install the 400W DC-ATX on the H3
V3 faceplate and install 400W AC-DC with aluminum adapter plate on the side
heatsink panel.
H3 HDD Rack and SSD Installation
H3 HDD rack has three SSD installation positions. Use flat head silver M3*6
screw Gto install SSD to the rack.
H3 HDD rack has one 3.5” HDD installation position. Use four M3 6-32 thread
screws Jto install 3.5” HDD and make sure 3.5” HDD SATA port can be accessed

Install HDD rack to H3 V3 two side heatsink panel using 3pcs G. H3 V3 series
has two HDD rack installation positions. HDD Rack with 3.5” HDD can only be
installed on the front position. For a few microATX motherboards with CPU
heatsink very close to the front, CPU heatsink system aluminum top might
conflict with 3.5”HDD. In these cases, 3.5”HDD is not supported by H3 V3.

Back Plate and PCIE Card Installation
H3 V3 chassis has three expansion slots on the back plate.
The two vertical slots support two low-profile expansion cards or one dual slot
low-profile card. Install AC adapter plate using 4pcs A from internal side of
the backplate, DC adapter plate (if use external AC source), motherboard I/O
shield, PCI cover bracket to the H3 V3 backplate first.
Install the low-profile expansion card by pushing in the PCI bracket tip without
locking it at the top. Install the backplate with everything together onto the H3
V3 two side heatsink panel using 4pcs HEX socket cap M5*8mm screws B. After
the expansion card is securely plugged into the motherboard PCIE slot, lock the
PCI-E card bracket top to the H3 V3 backplate using 1pcs A.
If you install backplate onto the H3 V3 chassis body first, it will be very difficult
to install a low-profile PCI-E expansion card later.
Faceplate Installation
If you don’t need front handle, just mount the faceplate using 4 HEX Socket Cap
Head M5*12mm Bto the two H5 side heatsink panel.

To install optional handle. First use 4pcs Hex Socket Cap Head M4*14mm Bto
install the front handle from the back of the faceplate. Then use 4pcs Hex Socket
Cap Head M5*8mm Bto mount the faceplate onto two side heatsink panel
mounting ear from the back. Use M5 HEX key Allen wrench to tighten it.
Test PC thoroughly and make sure heatsink system functions well.
Close the H3 top plate using 5pcs C. If the distance between two side panel is
too tight for the top plate to fit in, first loosen the screws in the red circle below,
then insert the top plate half way, tighten the screws for the heatsink system
aluminum top plate, insert the top plate in full and tighten the rest screws.
