Removing the Top Panel
The top panel is held in place by 2 long screws that are
accessed from the bottom of the case. Turn the chassis
upside down and remove the 2 screws from either side.
The top panel can now be lifted off the chassis.

The HDD/ODD cage is held in place by 4 screws, Which
are all accessible from the top of the cage. Remove all 4
screws and lift the cage out of the chassis.
P4 - PREPARING FOR ASSEMBLY
Fitting Cooling Fan & IRRC Module (Optional)
The F1C Evo can accommodate a 40 or 60mm fan
(60mm may interfere with fitting of 2.5" HD, see HDD
installation). The fan cage is packed with the other
screws and accessories. Fit your purchased fan with 2
screws as shown (Depending on 40 or 60mm). Fit the
fac assembly to the case using a single screw from
under the chassis.
The IRRC module can be installed into the position
shown (in red) using 2 screws supplied.

INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD - P5
Installing the Motherboard
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.
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.
Connect NanoPSU & Other Cables
With the motherboard in place, you can now connect the
PSU and any other internal connectors such
as the power button switch. You should also connect the
SATA cables in perpetration for installing the
HDD/ODD cage assembly.

Installing the HD and OD Drives
Depending on the type of components fitted, you can
install a maximum of 3 x 2.5" hard drives and 1 slot
loading optical drive.
If you are using a low profile CPU cooler, up to 2 hard
drives can be fitted under the cage and should be
installed prior to fitting the optical drive.
If you intend to fit 2 drives under the optical drive,
use positions B & C. If fitting just one drive, use
position A.
Rubber pads can be affixed to the mounting holes
that will be used in order to reduce vibration (if SSD’s
are not used).
Before fitting the slot loading drive, affix a self
adhesive rubber pad to the drives eject button
(included in the accessory bag). Mount the slot
loading drive using 4 screws, 2 either side, and
adjust is position to ensure correct operation of
the eject button. With left side eject buttons, 2
pads may be required.
The primary 2.5" hard drive can be mounted
vertically using 2 screws. Ensure that the HDD
connectors are facing toward the back of the
chassis. Please note that if you are using a
60mm fan, a 90 degree power/ sata connector
must be used to avoid conflict with the fan.

Replace the HDD/ODD Cage
With the HDD/ODD installed, the cage can now be
replaced into the chassis. Carefully lower the
assembly ensuring cables are routed correctly and
that the ODD eject button clears the front of the
chassis and slots into the hole.
The HDD/ODD cage can now be secured to the
chassis using 6 screws in total, 4 at the top and 2
from underneath. Note that the 2 screw underneath
fix to the 2.5" hard drive, so ensure the correct
screws are used.
Replace the Top Panel
With all the components installed, all that remains
is to replace the top panel and secure it in place with
the 2 long screws from underneath the chassis.
When replacing the top panel, ensure the correct
orientation as the 2 long securing screws should
match up with the nuts in the top panel.
