To remove the lid of the
case, undo the 2 thumb
screws as indicated.
Carefully lift the lid from
the back but not too far ­DO NOT FORCE, and then
pull backwards. Reverse

Removing the motherboard tray.

Undo the 4 thumb screws as

indicated below. Pull the tray

backwards to remove. Reverse

this procedure when replacing

the tray, ensuring it is located

in the tray guides correctly.

Micro ATX standoff / VGA loop cable Installation

VGA loop cable.

This cable loops the VGA signal
from the graphics card to the

12.1” TFT via the VGA/IR
bracket. It fits to the connectors
as shown, which are then
secured by turning the finger
screws. The VGA is then
connected internally (see page
14 for PCB/cable reference).

Micro ATX standoff installation.

When installing a micro ATX motherboard, screw

the 2 standoffs provided in the locations illustrated

above. These are for micro ATX only and MUST

NOT be installed if using a full ATX motherboard.

Optical disc drive (ODD) installation.

Remove the ODD cage by undoing

the 4 screws as illustrated below.

Install ODD into the cage using

the correct screws (supplied).

Re-position the cage, with drive,

and replace all screws to secure.

Adjust (forward/back) position as

necessary to ensure functionality

of ODD eject button.

Optical disc drive installation

Optical disk drive (ODD) bezel installation.

The aluminum ODD bezel matches the finish of the case. The installation procedure requires that

the plastic drive bezel that comes fitted to your drive, be removed prior to installation. The drive

format icon should also be fitted to the bezel before installation. The metal sticker sheet supplied

has Blu-ray, HD-DVD or DVD icons, depending on the format being used.

Remove the existing plastic drive bezel

from your ODD. This is usually done by

uncliping it and sliding it upwards. The

disc tray should be ejected when doing

this to gain access to the bezel.

With the tray closed, peel the back off the adhesive
foam strip on the back of the bezel. Using the
cardboard spacers, position the bezel as shown and
press firmly to ensure good adhesion. Eject the tray
to remove the spacers (a gentle tug may be required).

Metal sticker fitting instructions.

Ensure the bezel is free from dirt of grease. Peel and fold back the yellow backing sheet, revealing
only the icon you intend to use. arefully position the icon as central as possible, then apply even
pressure over the entire area. Peel off the plastic film (and unused icons) to reveal you handy work!

ODD bezel / metal sticker installation

Hard drive installation.

To begin installation, remove the stop-rails
as shown. You may need to loosen the
screws first with a screwdriver. Drives must
always be installed with the label facing
toward the front of case. Screw three rubber
mounting screws into the drive as shown
below (the screw arrangement is mirrored
for drives installed on the opposite side).
Us

lower the drive into place,

guiding the bottom rubber mount
straight down the outer mount guide until
the upper mounts are sitting snugly at the
top of guides Once all drives
have been installed, secure the stop-rails.

HD stop-rails.

When removing the stop­rails, only the back screw
need be fully unscrewed ­loosening the front thumb
screw is all that’s required
to remove the stop-rail
in the direction shown.

This screw
arrangement
is mirrored for
hard drives
installed on
the other side
of the case.

Optimum position for maximised airflow and cooling

Hard drive configuration.

In order to maximise airflow
and cooling of the hard drives,
use the chart on the left to
determine the optimum install
configuration for the number
of drives to be installed. When
more than 6 drives are required,
careful motherboard and PCI
card selection is recommended,
as in some cases M/B connector
pin position or an oversized
graphics card may inhibit some
drive configurations. If this
occurs, the drive positions can
be reversed (left to right) or the
drive spacing decreased as
needed. Always try to maximise
the airflow wherever possible.

Multi-format card reader & I/O ports

The S21T comes fitted with a multi-format
card reader as well as front audio, USB and
1394 ports. The [internal] USB hub feeds the
2 front USB ports as well as the IR control
and TFT touch panel, freeing up USB
connectors on the motherboard. The front
audio ports support both AC97 and
HD audio standards, while the card reader
supports all the card formats listed below.
