At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality.
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.

Nine Hundred Two User’s Manual

The Nine Hundred Two comes without a power supply. Make sure you choose a power
supply that is compatible with your computer components and has a long enough power
harness to reach your motherboard and peripheral devices. We recommend our TruePower,
NeoPower or Signature Series power supplies for the latest ATX specification compliance,
broad compatibility, and power-saving capability.

Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly
recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried or
careless motions. Please use reasonable precaution.

Note: The Nine Hundred Two comes with a top storage area. Antec does not recommend
that users put any liquid-containing items (drinks, ice cream, candles, perfume dispensers,
etc.) in this area. It was designed to hold your personal media player, digital camera, keys,
coins, etc.

This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation.
Please consult your motherboard user’s manual for specific mounting instructions and
troubleshooting. Before proceeding, check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there
are steps you must take before installing the motherboard. While installing hardware, keep
your case on a flat, stable surface.
