SUMMARY OF ASSEMBLY STEPS
Before starting assembly in the case, test all other components for functionality. If using a
PCIe gen 4 graphics card and motherboard with the included PCIe gen 3 riser, the
compatibility mode must be set to gen 3 in BIOS. Doing so will require performing the
first boot with integrated graphics (if available) or with the graphics card plugged directly
into the motherboard without a riser.
1. Install your CPU, CPU cooler, memory, and M.2 drive onto the motherboard, attach it to
the tray
2. Insert riser into the PCIe slot, flip over the tray, bend riser 90 degrees, install graphics card
and screw in riser
3. Plug display cable extensions into graphics card
4. Install IO shield and install that subassembly back into the main body of the case
5. Install 2.5” drives, power supply, attach all cables
6. Install front struts, install power button into the front panel and plug it in without
installing the front panel, install side panels, then the front panel
This manual will provide assembly instructions only for the most complex configuration involving
a short graphics card and 3 extra 2.5” drives.
