Installing the Panel

Connecting the fan controller and temperature sensor

1) Remove the cover of an empty 5.25" external drive bay.

1) Connect the fan cable connector to J .

2) Insert all cables into the empty drive bay. Push the allinone into the bay until it is flush with the chassis front panel, the screw holes should align with the chassis drive bay holes.

2) Connect the other end of cable K to the fan headers on the M/B.

3) Secure the Allinone with screws of I . 3) Connect P to the temperature sersor cable connector from the allinone panel. Use the adhesive tape to stick the temperature sensor probe of P in the appropriate location. CAUTION : In auto mode, the fan speed will be controlled automatically, please place the sensors in the appropriate position. NOTE : Do not place the sensor between the heatsink base and the CPU surface. Place the sensor on the side of the heatsink near the base.

M/B connections (internal and external)

NOTE : optional internal or external USB and IEEE 1349 connection is provided, choose internal or external not both. 3) Place all other cables through the slot in G , place into an empty PCI slot and secure with screw.

1) Connect the SATA cable A to the SATA pin header on the M/B. Connect the SATA power cable K connector to the PSU 4-pin connector.

2) Connect the card reader USB cable and the internal USB cable O to the USB pin header on the motherboard. And connect the internal 1394 cable N to the 1394 pin header on the motherboard. (Please find more information on your motherboard manual). NOTE : NEVER connect USB cable to any of the IEEE 1394 M/B connector. Doing so will damage the motherboard. NEVER connect IEEE1394 cable to any of the USB M/B connector. Doing so will damage the motherboard. Internal USB and IEEE 1349 connection
