1 LUCID SERIES Micro-ATX chassis with artful blend of engineering and aesthetics

2 INTRODUCTION SilverStone created the Lucid series in an attempt to combine SilverStone s traditionally excellent engineering quality with transparent or lucid aesthetics of glass-based exterior. LD01, as the first Lucid series chassis, achieves this objective in splendid fashion. The striking exterior is covered in tempered glass flanked by functional stainless steel bands that not only adds a touch of premium feel but also protect the glass and simplify installation. With inverted motherboard tray design taken from the Temjin TJ08-E, one of the best Micro-ATX cases ever released, graphics or expansion cards installed into the LD01 can intake fresh air from above the chassis for vastly superior cooling compared with traditional layout that has the PSU & drive cage shroud limiting airflow. Another benefit of the inverted layout is that graphics card supporter will make contact only with graphics card's backside, thus eliminate potential interference with graphics card fans. Other notable features the LD01 has include front USB Type-C connector, quick access dust filter, smart backside cable routing, highly flexible space for installing all popular core components, and support for multiple cooling configurations. There are five total 120 / 140mm fan slots around the case with maximum radiator support at front, top, and rear. For those looking for a compact, beautiful glass design in Micro-ATX form factor without compromises, the LD01 is the clear and lucid choice. SPECIAL FEATURES Three-sided tempered glass and stainless steel design Graphics card holder included prevents card bending Supports up to two 240 / 280mm radiators Includes front mounted USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C port Easily accessible removable filters for dust reduction Super clean internal look with PSU and drive bay cover Flexible hard drive bracket can be repositioned to fit radiator or big power supply

5 INSTALLATION GUIDE Before you begin, please make sure that you Have all components collected. Check that all components do not have compatibility problems with each other or with the case. If possible, assemble the components outside the case first to make sure they are working. Keep the motherboard manual ready for reference during installation. Prepare a Philips screwdriver. 1 Loosen two screws from both left and right side panels to remove them

6 2 Insert the I/O shield included with your motherboard 3 Insert standoffs as required by your motherboard in corresponding mounting holes, then install motherboard

7 4 Remove expansion slot covers to install required expansion cards.then install the graphic card holder, this holder only supports card on first and second expansion slot. Please lay down the case before installing the card holder to ensure that the graphics card is not bending by gravity 5 Pull out to open the tool-less bracket and secure your hard drive on the tray. Pay attention to the orientation of the drive, its connectors should be on the same side as the drive tray s pull tabs

8 6 Install 2.5" drives behind the motherboard tray and secure with screws 7 We recommend that you start cable manage now and connect cables such as the ATX 24pin, front I/O connectors, and any other connectors from front panel devices

9 8 Connect all cables and wires 9 Install power supply into the case

10 10 Reinstall side panels back onto the case

11 CONNECTOR DEFINITION (1) Front panel connector installation Power Switch Power switch installation guide: Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard s Front Panel Connector or System Panel Connector pin definition. Power switch has no polarity, so they can be connected in any orientation LED connector installation guide: Power LED- Power LED+ HDD LED+ HDD LED- Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard s Front Panel Connector or System Panel Connector pin definition. White colored wires are negative while other colored wires are positive. Power LED connector is made to be individual pins by design to accommodate different motherboard specifications

12 (2) Front I/O connecter Guide Below are the front I/O connectors pin definition, please also check your motherboard manual to cross reference with motherboard s front I/O pin headers. SilverStone s I/O connectors are in block type to simplify installation USB 3.0 CONNECTOR Pin 1 Pin 19 Vbus IntA_P1_SSRX- IntA_P1_SSRX+ GND IntA_P1_SSTX- IntA_P1_SSTX+ GND IntA_P1_D- IntA_P1_D+ ID Vbus IntA_P2_SSRX- IntA_P2_SSRX+ GND IntA_P2_SSTX- IntA_P2_SSTX+ GND IntA_P2_D- IntA_P2_D+ Pin 10 Pin 11 HD CONNECTOR AUD GND PRESENCE SENSE1_RETURN PIN SENSE2_RETURN PORT1L PORT1R PORT2R SENSE_SEND PORT2L PIN

13 COMPONENT SIZE LIMITATIONS The LD01 was designed to accommodate oversized components, but we still recommend referring to the following dimension guidelines: (1) CPU Cooler limitation 168mm 6.8mm Height limitation for CPU cooler is 168mm with 6.8mm clearance over the motherboard s top edge (2) Power supply limitation 160 ~ 220mm PSU HDD BKT The LD01 supports power supply depth from 160 to 220mm depending on hard drive bracket s position. Please refer to diagram for locating the bottom screws that allow for hard drive cage adjustments

14 (3) Graphics card / expansion card length limitation 174mm 370mm The total length available for graphics card and front panel fan or radiator is 370mm. Width restriction is 174mm

15 (4) Liquid cooling radiator limitations 105mm 71mm 20mm LD01 supports 120/140/240/280mm radiator in the top panel. The distance of fan mounting hole and the first expansion card is 105mm. As shown in figure A, it can fit a dual-slot graphics card along with a 30mm thick radiator and a 25mm thick fan. The radiator and fan will occupy the install space for motherboard s third and fourth expansion slots. Further detail on radiator and expansion card positioning: As shown in Figure B, if 140mm fans are installed into LD01 s top panel, they will be 20mm away from the surface of the motherboard. This is the same distance that motherboard designs use to keep clear of graphics card installed on the motherboard, so technically the 140mm fans will also not interfere with other components around the third and fourth expansion slots. If your motherboard s SATA slots are unfortunately blocked by installed radiator or fan, we recommended purchasing SilverStone CP11 super slim SATA cables to solve the interference problem.ld01 supports 120/140/240/280mm radiator in the front panel. As shown in Figure C, the total thickness of the fan and radiator can be up to 71mm, we recommend installing the radiator with its hoses on top. If you want to install 280mm radiators on both top and front panels simultaneously, we recommend using radiators with less than 30mm thickness to avoid potential interference with one another. A 120mm radiator can be mounted on the the rear panel of the case, there is no thickness limitation if the height of the motherboard components in the same area are less than 50mm.

16 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADE Illustration: An example of a GPU cooler that is filled with dust and has lost most of its cooling performance. We recommend setting up LD01 as a positive air pressure case so along with the included filters, they can help effectively reduce dust buildup inside the case. Small air particles or lint will accumulate over time on intake filters instead of on the components inside the case. To maintain LD01 s cooling performance for years to come, we recommend to clean all fan filters regularly every six months to a year (depending on your environment) FAN FILTER PURCHASE PROCESS If you accidentally loose/damage filters or need additional ones for backup, please contact your local SilverStone retailers or distributors for purchasing information:
