Starting off with the HDD install, simply remove the four screws holding the HDD cage in place and mount the HDD using screws onto the rack. After installing the HDD rack back into place you are done. The next step is the ODD install. First you need to remove the front cover by pulling it off the ODD panel. Hold the bottom of the cover and pull it out.
Eight screws on both sides of the mounting area will secure the ODD into place. After securing the SATA cable and Power cable simply put the cover back on the case. Depending on the size of the motherboard you might want to install the motherboard and CPU before installing the HDD and ODD. The motherboard install is easy and straightforward as standoffs are already installed.
Note behind the 92mm LED cooling fan there is a washable air filter that GMC recommends checking once a month at first. Not washing the air filter will cause higher system temperatures and stability problems. On the bottom of the case there is a 80mm fan hole for those users wanting another fan in their case. After installing everything into place you should connect the FPIO to the motherboard, attach the power and data cables and connect the temperature sensors and power to those sensors. At this point check your installation for loose wires, and close the chassis.
