The Fortress FT05 represent SilverStone’s continued dedication
in improving and reinventing computer chassis design. Similar to the
RAVEN RV05, it no longer has any 5.25” drive bay and utilizes
SilverStone’s fame 90 degree rotated design. Previous full ATX
SilverStone chassis with 90 degree layout often had to compromise
on space efficiency due to fixed length of the motherboard in rotated
orientation. So the elimination of 5.25” bays solves this issue naturally
and enables FT05 to be not only more balanced in proportion but
stunning in its design thanks to its thick wrap-around aluminum exterior.

With majority of wasted space eliminated, the FT05 is better
optimized for components that affect performance the most such as
CPU and GPUs. The result is an expertly-engineered ATX chassis
that is just as capable in terms of compute power and heat dissipation
as the first RAVEN chassis, the RV01, but in half the size. Equipped
with latest revision Air Penetrator fans that include three speed switches
and modern touches such as externally removable filters and tool-less
panels, the FT05 has everything that PC enthusiasts could wish
for in a compact, high performance computer chassis that is not only
cool and quiet, but also easy to build and maintain. For those not
wanting to constantly step up in chassis size to obtain top-level
performance, the Fortress FT05 is perhaps the best and most beautiful
solution.

Fortress Series FT05

(1) Fort panel connector installation

Power switch and reset switch installation guide:
Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard’s “Front Panel Connector” or “System Panel Connector” pin definition.
Power switch and reset switch have no polarity, so they can be connected in any orientation.

Ein-/Ausschalter und Rücksetztaste (Reset) installieren:
Bitte suchen Sie in der Motherboard-Dokumentation nach der Pinbelegung der Anschlüsse des Frontbedienfeldes („Front Panel Connectors“
oder „System Panel Connectors“). Ein-/Austaste und Rücksetztaste benötigen keine bestimmte Polarität, können daher beliebig (ohne auf +
und - zu achten) angeschlossen werden.

Guide d'installation des interrupteurs d'allumage et de réinitialisation :
Veuillez-vous référer au manuel de votre carte mère pour la description des broches "des connecteurs du panneau frontal" et des broches "des
connecteurs du panneau système". Les interrupteurs d'allumage et de réinitialisation ne possède pas de polarité, donc ils peuvent être branché
dans les deux sens.

Guía de instalación de los interruptores de encendido y reseteo:
Por favor, consulte en los manuales de la placa base la configuración de pines del “Conector de panel frontal” ó “Conector de panel de sistema”
de su placa base. Los interruptores de encendido y reseteo no tienen polaridad, luego se pueden conectar con cualquier orientación.

Guida all’installazione dei connettori Power Switch e Reset Switch:
Fare riferimento al manuale della scheda madre nella sezione “Connettori del pannello frontale” o “Connettori del pannello di sistema”.
Power switch e reset switch non hanno polarità, posso essere pertanto connessi con qualsiasi orientamento.

Инструкция по подключению выключателя питания и кнопки перезагрузки (reset):
Описание контактов разъемов приведены в разделах “Разъемы передней панели” или “Разъемы системной панели” руководства
пользователя материнской платы. Выключатель питания и кнопка перезагрузки не имеют полярности, поэтому их можно подключать
в

любой ориентации.

파워 스위치 및 리셋 스위치 설치 가이드
메인보드 매뉴얼의 전면패널 커넥터 혹은 시스템패널 커넥터 핀을 참조하기 바랍니다. 파워 스위치와 리셋 스위치는 극성이 없어
어떤 방향으로 설치해도 무방합니다.

電源スイッチおよびリセットスイッチのインストールガイド：
マザーボードの「フロントパネルコネクタ」または「システムパネルコネクタ」のピン配列についてはマザーボードマニュアルを参照
してください。電源スイッチとリセットスイッチに極性はないので、いずれの方向でも接続できま。

Power Switch 與Reset Switch安裝說明：
請參考主機說明書的Front Panel Connectors安裝Pin Define,將Connector插上；Power Switch 與Reset Switch並無正負極性之分,
反插正插都不影響功能性。

Power Switch 与Reset Switch安装说明：
