How to use

Install the ATX motherboard inside the case using the supplied standoffs and secure it with screws. Mount storage drives into the removable HDD cages or directly into internal bays, then slide the cages back into place. Connect front-panel USB/FireWire cables to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Fit the power supply (not included) into the PSU compartment and route cables to components. Install cooling fans in the recommended positions to maintain proper airflow and close the lockable side panel when assembly is complete.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, populate front and rear fan positions to establish front-to-back airflow. Secure drives in the removable cages before inserting them to avoid cable strain. Use the lockable side panel in shared or public environments to prevent unauthorized access. Choose a compatible ATX power supply that fits the case depth and provides sufficient connectors for drives and fans.
