INTRODUCTION

SHIFT 2 SHIFT 2 air

Welcome to Phanteks!

The Evolv Shift 2 (air) builds on the unique form factor of the original Evolv Shift and brings a compact chassis that packs plenty of power and is extremely space efficient with its small footprint. The Evolv Shift 2 (air) will look impressive anywhere with the tempered glass or mesh fabric panels on both sides.

Phanteks believes that meaningful designs are created through the fusion of form and function.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION PROCESS

A unique chassis design like the Shift 2 (air) comes with a different approach to the installation process.

That is why we recommend to follow these installation tips:

-Follow the component installation order as shown in this manual.

-Pre-route the cables for each installed component as shown at each step.

-Wait with connecting cables until the end of the installation process.

Depending on hardware components such as power cable length the cable routing can be different.

PREPARATIONS

•Don’t turn on the power to your system until installation is complete.

•Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before performing any hardware procedure.

•Make sure to consult the manuals of your hardware before installation.
