X-Jupiter Finished Appearance. Window version 25cm Fan version NOTE: CPU and memory installation is not covered in this manual. Please refer to the components documentation for instructions. 1. Motherboard installation: 1.2 Push handle forward to release (window version). Pull the notch on the side panel in the opposite direction of the red arrow above (fan version).open and remove panel. 1.1 Remove thumbscrews from the rear of the X-Jupiter. 1
1.3 If your motherboard included an IO shield, you must remove the X-Jupiter's IO shield. Use thumbs or other object to push shield inward (cover area with a cloth to avoid injury from metal edges!). 1.4 Refer to the motherboard holes index for standoff placement for your motherboard type. A full ATX (12 x9.6 ) board will use notches A1-A9. Some motherboards may not use all notches. Use any notches that line up with your motherboard. NOTE: Touch an unpainted metal section of the chassis to discharge static electricity before handling PC components. An anti-static wrist strap should also be worn to further minimize the possibility of damage. 1.5 Put brass standoffs in place. Align motherboard with standoffs and mount to case. This ATX motherboard (12 x8.3 ) only used notches A1-A6. M8 was also used since it lined up. 2
2. Install 3½ and 5¼ drives: 2.1 To install an optical or floppy drive, remove the drive cover by placing an index finger into either inlet and pulling outward. 2.2 For 5 1/4 drives, find the mounting rails labeled ODD (optical disk drive). Align left and right rails with drive, and attach. For 3 1/2 drives, use the rails labeled FDD (floppy disk drive). Screwdriver NOT required! 2.3 Align rails with drive bay and insert. 2.4 For hard-disk drives, find the mounting rails labeled HDD Attach rails to both sides of the drive. 3
2.5 Align rails with hard drive bay and insert. 3. Install PCI components: 3.1 First, remove PCI slot covers. Lift the latch, and open. 3.2 From the outside rear of the case, push PCI slot cover(s) toward the inside of the chassis. 4
3.3 Read your expansion card s documentation. Install card into correct slot for your card type (x1, x16, etc.). Once the card is seated firmly, return latch to the initial position. 4. Fan installation and setup: 4.1 In addition to fans included, you may opt to install an 8 or 12cm blowhole fan. In the above picture, the arrows indicate which holes to use for mounting a 12cm fan. 4.2 Inside the chassis, mount fan to the underside of blowhole area and screw into place. Make sure the top vent is in the Open position to allow warm air to escape. 5
4.4 Connect both fan controller INPUT s to any available 4-pin power supply connectors. Control air flow using the respective knob on front of the case. 4.3 Select those to be used as intake fans and connect male to female ends. The remaining male end is connected to the OUTPUT connector of the cool air in fan controller. Repeat the steps for exhaust fans using the hot air out line. 5. Temperature probe setup: 5.1 Locate the two device temperature probes 5.2 Place the probe labeled CPU to any fin on the CPU s heatsink and tape in place. Thermal tape should be used for best results. 6
5.4 Plug the 4-pin connector belonging to the LCD into the power supply to monitor system temperatures. 5.3 Place the probe labeled HDD to the hard-drive s surface. Use thermal tape for best results. Note: You may also leave a sensor loose in the chassis in order to monitor the ambient system temperature. DO NOT place the sensor directly on the CPU as it will damage the sensor. 6. Connect case leads to motherboard: 6.1 Locate the top panel leads. There is also a USB lead for the front panel. Your motherboard documentation will provide schematics. The triangular markings on the leads indicate positive wires. 6.2 Locate front panel leads and case speaker. Again, refer to your motherboard s documentation for placement schematics. 7
7. Identify power supply connectors: (For power supply version only) 7.1 ATX 20/24 Pin main connector 7.2 ATX 12V 4/8 Pin CPU connector. 7.3 4-pin Peripheral connector. 7.4 Serial ATA (SATA) connector. 7.5 PCI-Express connector. 7.6 Floppy drive connector. Connect PC components to the required power connector for each device type. 8
8. Complete the installation: 8.1 With all components properly installed, gently return side panels to their original positions and replace all screws. Congratulations! You have completed assembly of the X-Jupiter. 9. USB/1394/Audio cable pin assignments: 9
