Removing the Top Panel
The top panel is held in place with 4 screws, 2
each side of the case that are accessible
between the heatsink fins. Remove the screws,
then lift the top panel upwards and away from
the case. There is a recess either side of the
case to make lifting the top panel off easier.
P4 - PREPARING FOR ASSEMBLY
Installing the I/O Shield
Locate the I/O shield that is supplied with your
motherboard and firmly push it in place.
Ensure that it clicks in place fully otherwise the
motherboard will be difficult to fit.
Open the HDD/ODD Cage
The HDD/ODD cage has a swivel design that
tilts upwards towards the front of the case.
Remove the 2 screws, 1 from either side, then
lift and rotate the cage until it makes contact
with the front of the case.

INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD - P5
Installing the Motherboard
The FC10 can accommodate either a mini-ITX
or micro-ATX or Full ATX motherboard. The
type of motherboard used will determine the
choice of other internal components such as
internal PSU. For mATX boards, additional
standoffs can be added to the positions shown
in red.
Fitting the CPU Cooler Mounting Nuts
The kit includes 4 mounting nuts which should be attached to the
motherboard prior to fitting it inside the chassis. The nuts are held in
place by adhesive pads and will be required later to mount the CPU
cooler.
With the motherboard upside down, located the
4 CPU cooler mounting holes. Peel the
protective label off the mounting nuts and stick
them to the underside of the motherboard
ensuring they correctly align with the holes.
The raised rim of the nut should fit inside the
motherboard hole.

Fitting the Motherboard
Carefully lower the motherboard into the chassis,
with the I/O port side leading so that the ports can fit
into the I/O shield.
When the motherboard is correctly in position, fix it
to the chassis stand-offs using the screws provided.
Ensure that all the holes correctly align before fully
tightening the screws.
CPU Cooler Overview
The passive CPU cooler comprises of 3 main
parts. The CPU mount which fixes to the CPU &
motherboard, the heat pipes that transfer the
heat, and the heatsink connector blocks that fix
the heatpipes to the chassis side panel
(heatsink).
In order to ensure efficient heat transfer,
thermal paste should be applied to the
surfaces shown. Do not apply the thermal paste
until the parts are ready to be installed.

Affix the Lower CPU Mount
Apply a thin and even layer of thermal paste to
the surface of the CPU then carefully position
the lower CPU mount onto the CPU ensuring it
is centrally located. The heatpipe grooves
should be facing in the direction of the
heatsink.
Thermal paste can also be applied to the
heatpipe grooves in perpetration for the next
step.

Assemble the Upper CPU Mount
Depending on which type of motherboard and
CPU socket you have purchased, you will either
® ®
need to assemble the Intel or AMD type upper
CPU mount. You do not need to assemble both.
The mount is assembled as shown with the long
CPU retention screws, springs and C clips
attached to the outer arms of the mount..

Installing the CPU Cooler Assembly
1. Attach the heatsink connector blocks and heatpipes to the chassis. We recommend fitting one side at a
time (pairs of heatpipes). Secure the connector blocks with screws ensuring the heatpipes align and sit
accurately in the grooves of the lower CPU connector. Do not fully tighten the screws.
2. With all 4 heatpipes attached, position the upper CPU connector onto the lower CPU connector,
sandwiching the heatpipes between them and secure upper and lower parts together using the HEX
screws and allen key supplied. Do not fully tighten the screws.
3. Ensuring the 4 spring loaded screws correctly align with the CPU cooler mounting nuts (you installed
earlier under the motherboard), carefully tighten each screw (one turn each side, alternating sides) until
fully secured. You can now fully tighten all the screws.
Warning! Do not forget to use
thermal paste, as this can result
in poor heat transfer and
eventual CPU damage.

Connect the PSU, Optional IR & Other Cables
With the motherboard and CPU cooler in place, you can now connect the PSU and any other internal
connections such as the SATA cables in perpetration for installing the optical and hard drives. For
more details on installing the PSU and IRRC, see the user guides supplied with those accessories.
Connect the front USB ports and the power button switch to the motherboard. As the majority of
current motherboard do NOT support an INTERNAL USB3.0 header, this case is only supplied with
the USB2.0 cable. Customers that do purchase a USB3.0 compatible motherboard must purchase the
internal USB3.0 cable separately. See diagram on next page for wiring details.
