Install any HDD or SDD on top of the mid tray. These drives can
be oriented on either front or back depending on your prefer-
ence (Figure 2.1). If you bought the optional bottom bracket go
to page 8 for instructions. SSD’s use M3x5 nylon screws (part
4) and HDD’s utilize 6/32” .25 nylon screws (part 7).
After your drives are installed you can screw in your back PSU
bracket to your PSU (Figure 2.2).
Note: If you purchased the bottom HDD bracket go to page 8
for further instructions.

After your drives and/or ODD is installed you can install your
brackets onto the midtray using M4x8 nylon screws (part 4).
Note: These brackets are modular and can be oriented on both
the left and right side and slid forward and backwards.
Use M4x8 nylon screws (part 4) to install your optical drive. If
you’re not using one you can disregard this step.
Note: If you purchased the HDD/SDD bottom bracket follow
figure 2.3.

STANDOFF
Install your 12mm standos (part 3) and your M3 motherboard
screws (Item 8) to the motherboard tray. Ensure that you’re
placing them in the correct location according to your
motherboard layout. You can also use a drill at it’s lowest
setting to screw in the standos to the motherboard screws.
STEP 4 | MB & GPU BRACKET INSTALL
SLANTED VARIATION
After your standos are installed, place your motherboard
and hand tighten the M3 nuts (part 1) to properly secure your
board. Then use 2 M4x6 (part 2) and install the GPU bracket as
illustrated in Figure 4.1.

Screw in 2 M4x6 lowhead screws (part 2) to the front of
each leg. Don’t completely tighten these (figure 4.3) as the
motherboard tray will slide under the screws as shown in figure
4.2. After installing the motherbord, you can either tighten the
screws down or keep them loose for easy disconnect.
Spin your wetbench to the back and place 2 M4x6 lowhead
screws (part 2) on each leg. As with previous step, keep these
loose so your radiator mount can be slid on and o (figure 5.1).
Once everything is installed you can tighten down the radiator
bracket or keep it as is for easy disconnect.

The radiator tray can hold up to a 280mm radiator internally
and a 480 radiator externally. We recommend utilizing the
hardware that came with your radiator for install. Rubber pads
are included for both protection and decreased vibration.
The Aio/radiator bracket can be used on either side of the
wetbench (Figure 6.2). Use 2 M4x6 lowhead screws (part 2) to
attach the bracket to the side of the motherboard tray (figure
6.3). Up to a 480mm radiator can be installed. Additional
brackets can be purchased if more radiators are needed.
