Eleven Hundred User Manual

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 manuals that
come with those components.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Antec Eleven Hundred!

The new flagship in Antec’s Gaming series, the Eleven Hundred, brings ultimate gaming builds to
life. The Eleven Hundred’s nine expansion slots and space for an XL-ATX motherboard accommodate

elite GPU configurations up to 3-way NVIDIA® SLI® / 4-way AMD CrossFireX™. An included top 200 mm
exhaust fan, rear 120 mm fan and up to seven more optional fans in strategic positions – including
behind the motherboard tray – keep all your components comfortably firing on all cylinders. The Eleven
Hundred also lets you organize a clean, powerful build with superior cable routing, including 36 mm of
space behind the motherboard tray and grommet-lined cable routing holes.

The Eleven Hundred does not include 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 High Current Gamer, High Current Pro or
Earthwatts power supplies for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad compatibility, and power
savings capability.

At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As such, your
new chassis may differ slightly from the description in this manual due to improvements applied for the
optimal building experience. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in
this manual are correct.

1.4 Before You Begin

In order to ensure that your building experience with the Eleven Hundred will be a positive one, please
take note of the following:

While working inside your Eleven Hundred, keep your chassis on a flat, stable surface. Make

sure your build environment is clean, well-lit, and free of dust.

Antec chassis feature rounded edges that minimize the occurrence of hand injuries.

Nonetheless, exercise caution and control when handling chassis interiors. We strongly
recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working inside the chassis. Avoid
hurried or careless motions.

Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the unshielded components or contacts

on a card. Hold a card by its edges. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, never by
its pins.

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself periodically by touching an unpainted metal

surface (such as a connector or screw on the back of this computer) or by using a wrist
grounding strap.

Before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly aligned and oriented.

Bent pins can be difficult to fix and may require replacement of the entire connector.

This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult

your motherboard 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.

Do not sit on your chassis. Although it is constructed of heavy-duty steel and internally

reinforced, it is not designed to support the weight of an adult, and may buckle.

Remember to use the right tools for each task. Do not use improvised screwdrivers like coins,

nails or knife blades as they may result in damage to screw threads or even injury. Do not use
your fingernails to separate edges or lift the sides of the chassis, as paint chipping or injury may
occur.
