TOOL-LESS TOP PANEL
The CL530 top features tool-less removal via ball-stud mounting points. Grasp the lip on the
rear of the cover panel and pull upward to remove. The front ball studs may require altering
the angle you are pulling from to release.
Note: This panel may be very tight on the rst few times on/o! Use caution with using
extreme force to avoid damage.

SSD MOUNTING
The CL530 can t 2 x 2.5" SDD, located beside the power switch. Attach
drives with 2x
M3 x 5mm FLAT HEAD.
Note: We recommend connecting the SATA data cable and power cable
prior to screwing drives to chassis.

MOTHERBOARD
Don’t forget to install your IO shield rst!
Some CPU coolers may require a back plate to be installed before installing the
motherboard into the case. It is advised to also check that any M.2 drives on the back of
the motherboard are installed before mounting the motherboard. Once the IO shield is
properly installed the motherboard can be mounted using
4x 6-32 x 1/4” HEX HEAD screws.
A Phillips #2 screw driver with a minimum 3” shaft length is recommended for installing
these screws.
NOTE: Make sure your CPU heatsink and fan is less than 75mm tall.

POWER SUPPLY
Remember to connect all required modular power cables FIRST
The power supply is required to be positioned with the fan side towards the
top of the case.
Once positioned, the SFX PSU can be attached to the PSU Mounting Bracket
with up to 4x 6-32 x 1/4” HEX HEAD screws. The mounting bracket can then
be mounted to case with 3x 6-32 x 1/4” HEX HEAD screws.

Using 15mm fans allows for 3-slot GPUs to t while also having the option to use a 2-
slot GPU in either the rst PCIe slot, or second PCIe slot for increased air ow.
INSTALLING 15mm CASE FANS
Use 4x M3 x 12mm FLAT HEAD screws to attach the fan guard. Place fans into chassis
sliding in the RED fan studs. Follow the proper orientation of the fan guard in photo
below. NOTE: Fans MUST exhaust air out of the case.

Note: Using 25mm fans in CL530 will only allow for a 2-slot GPU to t.
INSTALLING 25mm CASE FANS
Use 4 x M3 x 25mm FLAT HEAD screws to attach the fan guard. Make sure to follow
the proper orientation of the fan guard in photo below.
NOTE: Fans MUST exhaust air out of the case.

GPU MOUNTING
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 x 6mm PAN HEAD screws.
If your GPU only has a 2-slot wide PCIe bracket. The CL530 includes a single color
matched slot cover.

POWER CORD
NOTE: The CL530 Pig tail option is to increase max GPU card height to
157mm where as the standard option only allows for a card height of 133mm.
Pigtail Inlet Standard
The Power Cord extension
is installed through the
bracket and secured with
2x M3 x 8mm FLAT HEAD
screws to the chassis.
Then route the power
cable through the case to
the PSU.

CABLE MANAGEMENT
Once the motherboard and power
supply are mounted, it is
recommended to do some cable
management before installation of any
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 above
PCI-E Slots and properly screwed to the
cover plate or passed through
the grommet, and routed to the
inlet on the power supply if using the
pig tail conguration.
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.
Also be sure to check that your
PSU switch is set to on!

Case Handle is attached with 2x M4 x 25mm Socket Cap
Use the included Allen key to tighten.
NOTE: Do not over-torque screws
