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.
