Before You Begin
Please take the following precautions:
•Handle all PC components and cards with care.
•Hold cards and processors by their edges to avoid damaging components.
•To avoid damaging components by electrostatic discharge, periodically ground yourself by
touching an unpainted metal surface or by using a wrist grounding strap.
•Before connecting cables, make sure the connectors are correctly aligned.
•Consult the documentation of your motherboard and other components for specific installation
instructions and troubleshooting.
When routing cables…
Route and bundle PSU and case cables to reduce clutter for a cleaner look and to improve
airflow. The case is designed with cable pass-through cutouts throughout and space to conceal
cables under the right side panel (as seen from the front). Use the provided nylon zip ties to
hold the cables in place.
Remove the case side panels
Put the case upright on a stable, flat surface with rear facing you. Remove the thumbscrews from both
side panels and store them in a safe place. Remove each panel by slide the panel toward the rear.
Install the motherboard
The CR1080 is compatible with up to Full ATX, enabling you to build a high-performance compact PC.

1. Install the CPU, CPU cooler and memory on the motherboard.
Refer to your CPU and motherboard documentation how to mount the CPU and its cooler on
your motherboard. If you are using a liquid CPU cooler you may find it easier to install it after
the motherboard is installed in the case.
2. Install the I/O panel.
Your motherboard should have come with a standard I/O panel that shields and exposes the
rear motherboard connectors out of the back of the case. From inside, snap the I/O panel into
the cutout in the rear of the case.
Figure 1 Example I/O panel
3. Attach the motherboard to the case.
The CR1080 comes with enough mounting standoffs for a full ATX or smaller form factor. Slide
the motherboard into the I/O panel and then align the motherboards screw holes with the case
standoff. Attach the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided motherboard screws.
Install Hard Drives and SSDs
The CR1080 has one 3.5” dedicated bay and two 2.5” drive bays. That can be adapted into a 3.5 “if
desired to. These bays are located in the compartment behind the motherboard tray
To install a 3.5” hard drive
The 3.5” drive bay comes with a plastic bracket that needs to be used in order to install the HDD in the right
position.
1. Remove the plastic bracket, attach the HDD into it, and place the bracket with the drive in its
original position.
