It’s possible that your new case will differ slightly from the descriptions in this manual. This isn’t a problem; it’s simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct. Disclaimer This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s Computer Enclosures. For more comprehensive instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the user’s manuals that come with those components. New Solution Series User’s Manual NSK 3480 Quiet microATX Case The NSK3480 Case with EA-380 power supply The NSK3480 comes with an EarthWatts 380 watt PSU. Universal input, active PFC single 80mm fan cooled power supply that follows the ATX12V version 2.2 specifications. This includes dual +12V output rails that deliver safer and more reliable output to your system’s components. Featuring higher energy efficiency, which reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. EarthWatts power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency. In addition EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection). This power supply is backwards compatible with previous ATX form factor power supplies. To make sure you connect the power supply properly, please refer to the user manuals supplied with the motherboard and peripherals before connecting any of them to the power supply. The power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time. Normally, you won’t need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn the computer on and off by using the soft switch on the computer case. If the computer crashes and you can’t shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O) position, to clear the fault, then reboot. Antec power supply models feature Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the PSU. A better Power Factor increases energy efficiency, reduces heat, improves output voltage stability and prolongs the life of your equipment. The PSU’s high efficiency design and quiet fan deliver not only a cleaner but also a quieter operating environment. The Dual Chamber Structure The case is divided into two chambers. The motherboard chamber and the power supply chamber are separated from each other for maximum quiet and optimal cooling. 1 Set Up 1. Take the case out of the box. Remove the foam packing material and plastic bag. 2. Place the case upright with the power supply fan at the back facing you on a stable flat surface. 3. Remove the two thumbscrews fastening to the top cover of the case. Set these screws aside and keep them separate from the other screws. 4. Slide the top panel toward the rear of the case and lift it up. 5. There are tabs at the top of each side panel located in front the power supply. Lift and pull the side panels out using the tabs. 6. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring (LED’s, etc.), an installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag containing more hardware (screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.). Motherboard Installation This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. 1. Lay the case down so that the open side is up. You should be able to see the drive cage and power supply. 2. Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for the motherboard. If the panel provided is not suitable for the motherboard, please contact the motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel. 3. Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes, and determine which ones line up and remember where they are. Not all motherboards will match with all of the provided screw holes, and this is not necessary for proper functionality. Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience. 4. Lift up and remove the motherboard. 5. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with the motherboard. 6. Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs. 7. Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head screws. 8. The motherboard is now installed. Connecting the Power and LED The power supply conforms to the ATX12V v2.2 standard. Before you connect the power supply to any of the devices, please consult the appropriate user manuals for the motherboard and other peripherals. 1. You will need to route the cables from the power supply to the rest of the case. You can use either of the two holes in picture 1. One is narrow and will work for all types of power and interfa...
