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.

DISASSEMBLY
If the power supply is pre-installed in your unit and you do not plan on using
a 2.5” drive on the dedicated mount, you may leave it inside.

Bend the riser underneath the graphics card bracket and screw it into the
standoffs. Avoid making repeat bends as this will stress the wires inside.

GRAPHICS CARD INSTALLATION
Rotate the clip on the right, remove the bracket on the left, plug in the
graphics card and reinstall the bracket on the left to keep the card in place.

11

Ensure that the edge of the graphics card’s IO shield is flush with or below
the edge of the bracket it is attached to. The graphics card should not have
any protrusions past this edge.
Rotate the clip back around and secure the card with two screws.

DISPLAY CABLE EXTENSIONS
Plug the cables into the graphics card and gently fold them in such a way
that they do not protrude past the riser.
The cables must take up as little space as possible in order to slide easily into
the frame later, but avoid making creases near the connector.
