The SV540 comes with a total of 5 dierent screws.
For the purposes of this guide we will assign a unique color to each
of the screw to signify their locations through out this guide.

TOOL-LESS END CAPS
The SV540s top and bottom cover
features tool-less removal via
ball-stud mounting points.
This design feature allows for
convenient access to your
motherboard and PCIe card IO
ports regardless of case orientation.
These top and bottom panels can
also be reversed onto either end of
the case, allowing the “cable cubby”
side to face up or down.
Note: these panel may be very
tight on the rst few times on/o!

REMOVE PANELS
The front panel is the only panel that will stay in place without the screws.
Easiest method to remove it is to rst remove the side panels,
and then push against front panel from inside the case.
Note: that the front panels may scratch the case frame!
Please handle all panels carefully.

CASE FRAME
The rear radiator mount bracket of the SV540 frame is held on by
6-32 X 1/4” FLAT HEAD screws; two on each side of the cable cubby,
and one on each side at the opposite end of the case.

The power cord extension is then installed into the mount bracket with two M3x8mm at head
screws. Once the power cord has the bracket attached and power cable is routed through the
grommet. It may be attached to the case frame via two M3x5mm at head screws at any of the
viable mount locations.
The bracket can be positioned to where it least obstructs the motherboard or GPU ports.
Make sure to point the open end of the inlet towards the rear of the case!
The SV540 includes an internal power cord
extension, protective grommet, and mount
bracket for routing the power supply inlet into
the"cable cubby" of the case frame.
Then clip the Cable Grommet onto the power
cord, before you install it into the case, then run
the cord through the cutout located above the
PCIe card tab cutout, and nally slide the grommet
into position as shown below.
POWER CORD

POWER BUTTON
SV540 has the ability to
mount the power button
to either end of the case
frame.
The power button
is attached to a small bracket
which can be relocated to
either mounting position.
This bracket is secured to
either end of the case with
2x M3 x 5mm FLAT HEAD
screws.
When the power button is
mounted on the “cable cubby”
end of the case frame you will
need to pass the button cable
& connectors through the hole
and grommet located next to
the motherboard IO Shield
cutout (A).
(A)

Don’t forget to install the power
cord and your IO shield rst!
Some CPU coolers may require a
back plate installed before installing
the motherboard into the case.
It is advised to also check that any
back of motherboard M.2 drives are
installed before mounting the
motherboard.
Once the IO shield and power cord /
power cord grommet are properly
installed the motherboard can now
be mounted using 4x 6-32 x 1/4”
TRUSS HEAD screws.
A Phillips #2 screw driver with a
minimum 3” shaft length is
recommended for installing these
screws. Both of the screws on the
PCIe slot side of the motherboard
have pass-through holes in the
case frame to allow the screw driver
and screw to pass through and be
screwed in straight.
Additional installation instructions
for your CPU, CPU cooler, RAM,
etc. are covered by your
motherboard or coolers respective
user manual.
MOTHERBOARD

POWER SUPPLY
The fan on the power supply is recommended to be positioned with the
fan side of the power supply towards the center spine of the case, this
orientation will result in better overall system temperatures and lower noise.
Once positioned, the SFX PSU can be attached to the PSU Mounting Bracket
with up to 6x of the included 6-32 x 1/4” TRUSS HEAD screws.
Note: that not all SFX Power Supplies have all 6x screw holes as shown.

Our SV540 has multiple 3.5" HD and 2.5" SSD mounting locations.
Shown below are various HD and SSD congurations.
SSD and HDDs
2.5" SSD should be mounted with two M3 x 5mm at head screws for each SSD

SSD and HDDs
3.5” HDD should be mounted with up to three 6-32 X 1/4” FLAT HEAD screws.

CABLE MANAGEMENT
Once the motherboard and power
supply are mounted it is
recommended to do some cable
management before we install any
radiators or PCIe cards.
Note: the CPU and cooler mount back
plate / standos are installed.
•The power switch/LED is routed and
plugged into the motherboard.
•The power cord is mounted at
top (two screws in counter sinks)
and properly passed through
the grommet, and routed to the
inlet on the power supply.
(Also be sure to check that your
PSU switch is set to on!)
•Motherboard power cables are
plugged in, and GPU power
cables are loosely positioned.
•Power cables are loosely managed
and zip tied.
•The PCIe riser is plugged into the
PCIe slot on the motherboard.

GPU MOUNTING
We recommend installing the GPU
after installing the radiator as the
case will be slightly more rigid.
Additionally this method allows
access to the fan screws for ease
of installing fan guards, reversing
fan airow, etc.
Process of installing the GPU is
same it would be on a standard PC
case, just on a PCIe riser. Slide the card
into position, push down into the slot,
and then secure the PCIe card bracket
with the M3 PAN HEAD screws.
If your GPU only has a 2-slot wide
PCIe bracket the SV540 includes
a single color matched slot cover.

280mm AIO
ALL FANS MUST BE SET TO EXHAUST OUT THE REAR OF THE CASE
If installed as intake you will cause your power supply
and GPU to run at higher temperatures.
If the 280mm radiator
hoses are mounted
to the top, you will not
be able to screw the
case closed as the
hoses will collide
with the motherboard
and/or GPU PCIe riser
bracket.
Conversely if the hoses
are mounted as shown,
to the bottom of the case,
the hoses will not have
interference issues due
to free space provided
around the power supply
and below the GPU/PCIe
cards.
If your AIOs do not include
mounting screws please
use the 6-32 x 1/4” TRUSS
HEAD screws provided
with the case.

REASSEMBLE CASE
We recommend plugging in your
fan headers / fan splitters before
screwing the rear radiator
bracket back onto the case frame.
It is also recommended to do
try various positions with the AIO
CPU pump block to best t your
AIO hoses as lengths can vary.
With the radiator/AIO in position
your case should look like the example
to the right, less your GPU and
any 2.5” SSD / 3.5” HDDs.
Mounting the AIO/radiator is the reverse order of page 6 in this guide.
The rear radiator mount bracket of the SV540 frame is held on by
6-32 x 1/4" at head; 3x per side

DDC PUMP RESERVOIR
SV540 has multiple DDC Pump / Reservoir mounting locations shown below
Location 1
Location 2
DDC Pump attached to the chassis seen above. Can NOT run a reservoir in this conguration*
DDC Pump Bracket attaches to chassis with
2 x
M3 x 5mm at head screws and to the
bracket with 4 x
M4 x 5mm at head screws.
NOTE: This mounting location blocks most HDD and SSD mounts
