Motherboard

DVD install

Motherboard and video card
Starting off with the side panel, removal is by removing four thumb screws and sliding the panels off. The next step is to install the PSU by positioning the air inlet on the out position and screwing in the screws. Installing the motherboard is easy as all you have to do is follow the guide and screw in the stand-offs into the appropriately labeled holes, mount the motherboard, and screw in the mounting screws.

Installing the video card or other add-in cards on the mounted motherboard is easy as there is a plastic clip holding the bracket covers. Simply flip open the clip remove the bracket cover, insert the card into the slot and flip the clip back into place. Cooler Master notes that the CPU cooler should not be taller than 6.5 inches as otherwise the CPU cooler will interfere with the installation of the side panel.

Installation of the 5.25" DVD-RW drive was a simple matter of pulling the front panel off, taking out the cover and sliding the drive into the bay. To lock it into place, slide the rail to the left. After placing the slide rails onto the HDD(s) slide it into place. At this point connect your drive cables and power cables, do proper wire management, connect the case wires and you are ready to go.
