of SX5 13L 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 body in these photos may be slightly different from what you have, it happens, I make some changes in almost every batch.
-
Preparation.
Remove the screws that hold the covers in place at the bottom of the case and at the back. Push the covers aside and remove them. Make sure your components match the case specification.
-
Installation of the Power Supply Unit (PSU).
The case is compatible with PSU SFX and SFX-L formats. If your PSU has a modular cable connection, connect only those that are necessary. Unscrew the screws securing the PSU fasteners, screw this fastener to the PSU. Connect the power cable to the C14 socket on the PSU, then insert the PSU with the bracket into the case and screw it into place.
PSU can be installed on special ones, see photo. This mounting method is only suitable for the SFX format.
-
Installation of the radiator of the liquid cooling system.
Several radiators with fans can be installed in the case.
Top: type 120, 140, 240, 280
(no more than 143x322mm)
Bottom: type 92, 120
(no more than 143x155mm)
or fans
We recommend installing a grille grill on the fans to prevent the wires and hoses of the liquid cooling system from getting into them.
-
Installing the motherboard (MB).
Read the instructions for your MB. For your convenience, install everything you need on it (Processor, 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. Screw the MB to the case using screws and a magnetic screwdriver. Connect the PCIe riser cable to the MB if you plan to install a video card.
-
Installation of 2.5" drives.
Skip this step if you don't plan to use a 2.5" drive.
One drive can be installed below under the PSU. With this location, it will be impossible to install a radiator or fan below.
Two drives can be installed in front. Screw them to a special basket.
-
Video card installation.
Connect the additional power supply of the video card, if it is provided by the manufacturer of the video card before its installation. Insert the video card into the case, install the cable in the PCIe x16 riser connector as far as it will go. Fasten the video card with screws using a magnetic screwdriver.
The video card can be fixed in three positions with a step of 5 mm down or up.
-
Final Assembly.
Carefully route all cables using nylon cable ties. Check all cables are connected, including the power button cable. Start the computer and make sure that all the fans can work freely and nothing is obstructing them. Now you can install the covers by screwing them.
