NSK 4000 / 4480 / 4480B
Super Mini Tower Case
This case is designed to meet Intel’s Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) design
guide requirements.
The NSK4000 Case Only
NSK 4000 comes without a pre-installed power supply unit (PSU). This allows you
to install your choice of Antec power supply to match your individual needs.
The NSK4480 Case with EA-380 power supply
NSK 4480 and NSK 4480B come with an EarthWatts 380 watt PSU. Universal
input, active PFC single 80mm fan cooled power supply that follows the ATX12V
version 2.2 specifications. This includes dual +12V output rails that deliver safer
and more reliable output to your system’s components. Featuring higher energy
efficiency, which reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money
on your electricity bill. EarthWatts’ power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS®
Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency.
n addition EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power
protection), OVP (over voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).
The power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the
switch to the ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time.
Normally, you won’t need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power
supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn the computer on and off
by using the soft switch on the computer case. If the computer crashes and you
can’t shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the
OFF (O) position, to clear the fault, then reboot.
For models designed for sale in the European Union:
Antec power supply models feature Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in
accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the
input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the PSU. A better
Power Factor increases energy efficiency, reduces heat, improves output voltage
stability and prolongs the life of all equipment. The PSU’s high efficiency design
and the quiet fan deliver not only a cleaner but also a quieter operating environment.

Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we
strongly recommend taking your time and the appropriate care when working with
it. Hurried or careless motion and use of excessive force, particularly when you are
working in areas you cannot see clearly, are but a few examples of activity that
should be avoided. Please use reasonable precaution.
Setting Up
1. Take the case out of the box. Remove the Styrofoam and plastic bag.
2. Place the case upright with the power supply fan at the back facing you on a
stable flat surface.
3. Remove the two thumbscrews that fasten the top cover onto the case. These
are the only screws you need to remove to open the case. Set these screws
aside and keep them separate from the other screws.
4. Slide the top panel toward the rear of the case and lift it up to remove.
5. At the top of the each side panel, in front of the power supply, there is a 4”
wide tab. Using this, lift and pull the side panels out to remove.
6. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring (LED’s, etc.),
an installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag containing more
hardware (screws, brass standoff, plastic stands, etc.).
Motherboard Installation
This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation.
Please consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and
troubleshooting.
1. Lay the case down so that the open side is up. You should be able to see the
drive cage and power supply.
2. Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for the motherboard. If the
panel provided is not suitable for the motherboard, please contact the
motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3. Line up the motherboard with the standoff holes, and determine which ones
line up and remember where they are. Not all motherboards will match with
all of the provided screw holes, and this is not necessary for proper
functionality.) Some standoffs may be pre-installed for your convenience.
4. Lift up and remove the motherboard.
5. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded holes that line up with the motherboard.
6. Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head
screws.
8. The motherboard is now installed.
Connecting the Power and LED
The power supply conforms to the ATX12V Version 2.2 standard. If the
motherboard has a 20-pin power receptacle, detach the 4-pin attachment on the
24-pin power connector, see pictures 1 and 2. Before you
connect the power supply to any devices, please consult
the appropriate user manuals for the motherboard and
other peripherals.
1. Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and
the 4-pin or 8-pin connector to the motherboard as
