STEP 1 | INSTALLING ACRYLIC TO LEGS
Grab your leg and acrylic insert. Be sure to pull off the brown protective paper from your acrylic. Attach your leg and acrylic using 1 M3X10MM SOCKET CAP (part 5), 1 M3 SPLIT WASHER (part 4), and 1 M3 MOTHERBOARD NUT (part 1).
STEP 2 | ATTACHING LEGS TO MIDTRAY
Gather the Midtray and both legs. Attach them using 4 M4X6 lowhead screws (part 2) on each side. Be sure that the midtray overlaps the leg and that you lean your leg at an angle and then straighten it into the midtray as Figure 1 shows.
STEP 3 | HARDDRIVE INSTALL
Install any HDD or SDD on top of the mid tray. These drives can be oriented on either front or back depending on your prefer- ence. SSD’s use M3x5 nylon screws (part 9) and HDD’s utilize 6/32” .25 nylon screws (part 7).
STEP 4 | PSU INSTALL
After your drives are installed you can screw in the back of your PSU to the bracket. Then connect it to the location of the midboard tray of your choosing. (Figure 2.2).
STEP 5 | OPTICAL DRIVE INSTALL
Use M3x5 nylon screws (part 8) to install your optical drive. If you’re not using one you can disregard this step.
STEP 6 | MIDTRAY BRACKETS INSTALL
After your drives and/or ODD is installed you can install your brackets onto the midtray using M4x8 nylon screws (part 8).
Note: These brackets are modular and can be oriented on both the left and right side and slid forward and backwards.
STEP 7 | MB & ACYLIC INSTALL
Grab your motherboard and acrylic insert. Be sure to pull off the brown protective paper from your acrylic. Attach your motherboard and acrylic using 7 M3X10MM SOCKET CAP (part 5), 7 M3 SPLIT WASHER (part 4), and 7 M3 MOTHERBOARD NUT (part 1).
STEP 8 | INSTALLING MB STANDOFFS
Install your 12mm standoffs (part 3) and your M3 motherboard screws (part 10) to the motherboard tray. Ensure that you’re placing them in the correct location according to your motherboard layout. You can also use a drill at it’s lowest setting to screw in the standoffs to the motherboard screws.
STEP 9 | GPU BRACKET INSTALL
Install the GPU bracket as illustrated above using 2 M4x6 Lowhead screws (part 2). You can shift your GPU bracket left and right to align with your GPU. Use M3x8MM GPU screws (part 6) to secure your GPU into the bracket.
STEP 10 | INSTALLING MB TRAY
Screw in 2 M4x6 lowhead screws (part 2) to each leg (4 total screws). Don’t completely tighten these (figure 3) as the motherboard tray will slide under the screws as shown in figure 3. After installing the motherbord, you can either tighten the screws down or keep them loose for easy disconnect.
STEP 11 | INSTALLING MOTHERBOARD
After your standoffs are installed, place your motherboard on the tray and hand tighten the M3 nuts (part 1) to properly secure your board. Make sure they are fully tightened ensuring no short will occur.
STEP 12 | RADIATOR INSTALL
Spin your wetbench to the back and place 2 M4x6 lowhead screws (part 2) on each leg. Keep these loose so your radiator mount can slide on (figure 4). Once everything is installed you can tighten down the radiator bracket or keep it as is for easy disconnect.
STEP 12.1 | RADIATOR VARIATIONS
The radiator tray can hold up to a 360mm radiator internally or externally. We recommend utilizing the hardware that came with your radiator for install.
WIRING VANDAL SWITCH
Wiring vandal switch for power:
Take the power SW cord and attach the NO and C prong. Then connect the other end to the POWER on the motherboard. Repeat for the RESET button.
INSTALLING VANDAL SWITCH
Your 22mm vandal switches can be installed on either the right or left side of the motherboard.. Use the supplied hardware to properly secure your vandal switch. We also recommend wiring the switches and testing before installing them to your wetbench.
