Directions

1. Set the front and rear Main Bodies over the base and the align the edges.

2. Begin inserting #6 screws to the base, tightening about halfway. Before fastening each screw, check that the main body and base are still lined up.

3. Continue fastening screws halfway until all eight (8) are partially inserted.

Note: Alignment

If inserting the screws becomes difficult, back out and check:

• That both halves of the main body are still correctly aligned; and
• The alignment of the screws inserted so far (i.e., that they are not canted).

4. Check for any alignment problems between the Base and Main Body. When satisfied, finish tightening the screws down completely.

2. Attach with M3 x 16mm screws. If using a fan that has counterbored holes, shorter screws will be needed (10-12mm).

3. Set a 40mm fan in the external fan cage. If using a TPU gasket, cover the fan with the gasket. You may wish to cut a notch in the gasket for the fan wiring.

4. Insert the fan wiring through the intake, then line up the fan assembly with the mounting holes.

5. Secure the fan and cage with four (4) M3 x 20mm screws.
