1. 0 008 inch H 0 The Optional Fans There are two optional 120mm fan mounts a front fan in front of the upper HDD cage and a middle fan at the rear end of the upper HDD cage These two fans should be installed so that the air is blowing into the case from the front The Front Fan The front fan is designed to enhance the HDD cooling The Middle Fan The middle fan is designed to cool the VGA solution in your computer whether you have one VGA card or two In this case the HDD cage becomes a duct drawing fresh cool air from the front of the case You can choose to mount only the middle fan or you can mount both the front and the middle fans to enhance the cooling as two fans will utilize a more efficient push and pull intake action If you decide to mount any HDD into the upper cage you will not be able to use the middle fan 1 Find the two fan wire brackets from the box containing the top fan spoiler 2 Install the wire brackets into the HDD cage 3 Clip the fan into position In order to build a quieter system we strongly recommend NOT installing the optional fans if you do not require the additional cooling since it will create unnecessary fan noise If you choose to install them we recommend using Antec 120mm TriCool fans and setting the speed to Low Rubber Grommeted Ports for Optional Liquid Cooling There are two rubber grommeted ports in the rear panel You can use these holes for the tubing for externally mou2.
