2. In BIOS, set PCIe speed / compatibility mode to gen 3, test for functionality
3. Repeat step (1) with the PCIe riser, DisplayPort and HDMI extensions. Be gentle with these cables as they are not designed for
external use.

Graphics card
(L x W x H)
Maximum clearance, including
cables. Cables require 16 mm if not
recessed into the board.
289 x 43 x 140* mm
*If card is 263 mm in length or under,
max card height is 140 mm and max
card + cable height is 145 mm
Memory
52 mm
Storage
1x 2.5 inch drive (9.5 mm thick)
If graphics card length is < 212 mm:
3x extra 2.5 inch drives (2x up to 12.5
mm thick, 1x up to 7.0 mm thick)
-Slot graphics card into riser
-Attach the card. It must not have
protrusions past the bracket edge
-Install CPU, cooler, memory, and
M.2 drive onto the motherboard
-Attach motherboard to the tray and
plug in the PCIe riser
-Bend female end of riser to form a 180 degree turn
-Bend the middle section at an angle two times to put
the female end in place and secure with screws. Leave 5
mm between the middle bends to prevent “stacking”
-Avoid making repeat bends as this will stress the wires

-Power button must be plugged in
-Side panels have 3 positions. Flush mount: outer-
most positions for top and bottom screws and the
middle position for the middle screw
-For quieter operation, use other mounting holes
-6x countersunk 5 mm M3 screws (front)
-5x round head 4 mm M3 screws, 1x 6-32 screw
(rear)
-Slide in front panel while inserting the button’s
cable into the case. Screw in on top and bottom
-Reposition the brackets behind the front panel for
a more loose fit
-Stick on the included adhesive rubber pads
-4x countersunk 5 mm M3 screws
-Plug video cables into graphics card. Fold them
so that they do not protrude past the bracket edge
-Avoid making creases near the connector to
reduce risk of damage
-Insert PSU. Vents should
face outwards
-3x 6-32 screws
-Insert the motherboard subassembly into the case
-3x countersunk 5 mm M3 screws (GPU bracket)
-2x round head 4 mm M3 screws (motherboard tray)
-6x round head 6 mm M4 screws
-Install the storage drive holder
-Attach storage drive
-Connect cables to all components
-2x countersunk 5 mm M3 screws (drive
holder)
-4x round head 4 mm M3 screws
(storage drive)
-All cables must be plugged in
before this step
-Complete the frame by installing
the two struts in the front
-4x countersunk 5 mm M3 screws
-Temporarily remove bottom bracket to install button
-Use the hex nut to fix the button in place, then
reinstall the bottom bracket
-Consult your motherboard manual for the front
panel header pin layout. Plug the power button wires
into the corresponding motherboard pins
