I. Introducon
Congratulaons on the purchase of your new Nanoxia Project S Mini. We are condent that
you will be delighted by your new PC case for many years to come.
Our Project S Mini is a high-class, high-quality HTPC-case for Mini-ITX motherboards. The front
is made of high-grade aluminum, the top cover of scratch-proof tempered glass. The main fea-
ture of the case is the drawer design. The tray can be extracted for easy installaon or mainte-
nance of the system – even when the system is installed.
As with all our cases, the Project S Mini has been designed for maximum compability and va-
riability. Fully modular SSD holders allow the user to recongure the case to his own personal
needs. The Project S Mini oers ample space for a compact, air cooled system.
Another feature is the possibility to use the Project S Mini as a Mini Tower by using it standing
upright.

II. Installaon Instrucons
For the installaon of your hardware, please rst pull out the drawer. For this, you need to
remove the four thumbscrews at the back of the case. You can pull the tray out parally or
completely – please keep in mind that the tray rests on wheels. For the installaon we recom-
mend that you x them.
1. Installing the Motherboard
You can mount Mini-ITX motherboards in the Project S Mini. Before installing the mother-
board, please aach the supplied stand-os rst. Aach the included EPS extension to your
mainboard.
Now place the motherboard gently inside the drawer and lead the EPS extension cable through
the opening provided in the motherboard tray. Fix the motherboard to the motherboard tray.
Aer the installaon of the power supply, you can connect the EPS extension cable to the EPS-
connector on the PSU at the underside of the motherboard-tray.
2. Installaon opons for hard drives
You can install up to three drives in the Project S Mini. One 3.5 inch drive can be mounted at
the boom in the front right corner; two addional 2.5 inch holders are available for the instal-
laon of SSDs.
03

2.1 Mounng of the 3.5 inch hard drive
The 3.5 inch drive uses decoupled mounng. For the installaon of the hard disk, please hold it
to the inner side of the chassis and use screws to x it from underneath the motherboard tray.
The hard disk is connected from the right side. Please use the cut-out in the motherboard tray
to hide the cables.
2.2 Mounng of 2.5 inch SSDs
The Project S Mini oers two dedicated 2.5 inch holders. These are xed with screws to the
boom of the case and can be removed, if not needed. The drives are secured with screws.

3. Removing the front panel and top cover
Please keep in mind that the top cover is made of tempered glass and as such should be
handled with care.
3.1 Removing the front panel
To remove the front panel, remove the six
screws from the inside of the drawer, which
holds it in posion (3 x above, 3 x below the
motherboard-tray). Please be aware of the
Rigid-LED connector cable, else you might
damage it.
3.2 Removing the top cover
To remove the top cover of the case, please
unscrew the four screws that hold it in place.
You can then simply take it o.
4. Fan assembly
Up to three 60 mm case fans can be mounted inside the Project S Mini.
All air intake openings of the Project S Mini are equipped with easy to clean dust lters. We
recommend that you clean them on a regular basis. This includes the air intakes for the SFX
PSU and the VGA card.
4.1 Fans on the right side panel
Three 60 mm fans can be mounted at the right
side panel. For installaon, please hold them to
the chassis from the inside and x them with
screws from the outside.
05

Case fans installed at the side of the case should exhaust air out of the case (fan rear side
facing outwards). The dust lter is magnec and can be removed and cleaned easily.
5. Installaon of the VGA card
The graphics card is installed horizontally in the Project S Mini. For the installaon, rst remove
the PCI slots by loosening the screws. Then insert the graphics card and screw it into the PCI
bracket.
For the installaon of longer VGA cards, we recommend using the rubber spacers supplied by
us to support the card in the rear area.
Connect the supplied PCI-E 3.0 Riser card cable to the PCI-E slot of your mainboard and then to
the graphics card. The high-quality cable does not need any addional power supply.
The cables are perfectly shielded and oer a parcularly stable signal transmission.
The openings in the chassis below the graphics card are equipped with a magnec dust lter.
We recommend cleaning it regularly. Simply pull the drawer out so you can reach the lter
easily.
6. Das I/O-Panel
The I/O panel includes connectors for external USB devices (2 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 3.1 Type C),
and the microphone and headphone ports. The power-, reset-, and RGB color selector buon
are located here as well.

supply.
