SLM3 7.5L cases
Assembling a computer requires certain knowledge and skills! This brief instruction shows the assembly sequence and is designed for the user who has already assembled computers.
And also, the case in these photos may be slightly different from what you have, it happens, I make some changes in almost every batch.
-
Preparation.
Make sure your components match the case specification.
Disassemble the case by unscrewing the screws.
-
Installation of the Power Supply Unit (PSU).
The case is compatible with PSU SFX and SFX-L formats.
Screw the PSU to the mount on the case, it is not necessary to dismantle the mount. Install the power cable with the angled connector to the PSU. Set the network switch on the PSU to the "on" position, if present.
-
Installing the motherboard (MB).
Read the instructions for your MB. For your convenience, install everything you need on it (CPU, CPU cooler, RAM, NVMe drive, if used. Follow the instructions of the component manufacturer). Install the plug in the case, if it is not fixed on the motherboard, before mounting the MB. Connect the PCIe riser cable to the MB if you plan to install a video card. Screw the MB to the case using screws and a magnetic screwdriver.
-
Video card installation.
Skip this step if you do not plan to use a video card.
Connect the additional power supply of the video card before its installation, if it is provided by the manufacturer of the video card (see the instructions for installing your video card in the video card delivery kit). Unscrew the corner for fixing the video card from the case. If necessary, change the position of the riser cable for the video card. Install the video card in the riser cable and screw it to the case.
-
Installation of liquid cooling systems (LCS).
Depending on the size of the radiator, the permissible length of the video card changes!
Skip this step if you plan to use an air cooler.
In this case, you can install a compact LCS for the CPU, for example Asetec 645LT. Radiators are attached to the front panel of the case. Unscrew the front panel from the case. Screw the radiator to it using countersunk LCSscrews. Screw the front panel to the case.
