1.4 Before You Begin

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

 While working inside your NINETEEN 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.

Make sure you have the correct I/O panel.

Remove the panel by the end of the panel at the top & bottom and

swing the panel outward.

2.1 Setting Up

Put the case upright on a flat, stable surface so that the rear
panel (power supply and expansion slots) is facing you.
To remove the left and right side panels, remove these
thumbscrews first.

Note: Place the panel thumbscrews aside carefully and
remember where they are.

Remove the panel by gripping the end of the panel at the top
& bottom and swinging the panel outward.
Do not pull the panel back toward the rear of the chassis.

CAUTION: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels.
Damage to the panels or
injury to your fingernails may result.

2.2 Motherboard Installation

Before proceeding:

Check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must do before installing the
motherboard.

Make sure you have the correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel provided with the chassis
isn’t suitable, please contact your motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
