The In Win Case has raised, threaded screw receptors in the base. Open the bag of screw and ID the screw needed. Eight are required to anchor the motherboard.
Before you place the motherboard in the case, Let's ID the different power hook ups. At the front of the motherboard is the 24 pin main power connector. This one is easy to spot. Next find the CPU power. This is a 4 pin connector. It has black and yellow wires running to it. On some power supplies this connector has 8 pins and connector can be split, for use on this board. The 8 pin plug is used larger ATX model motherboards.
If you're having a problem refer to the manual that comes with the board. All the connection are explained.
Next comes the Molex and the SATA connectors, The Molex is a four pin connector in the shape of a 'D' with for round pin holes. The SATA connector is flat. The 'L' slot in the end slides onto the back of the Hard Disk Drive and the DVDRW.
Before you mount the motherboard you need to press the dust shield into place. The dust shield fits in the retangle opening in the back of the case. There a tabs on the shield that protrudes into the case.Make sure these tabs are bent up so they don't interfere with the rear connectors. Inserting the shield can be difficult and may take a minute. Once the dust shield is in , carefully slide the motherboard into place. Aligns the rear connectors with the dust shield and the mounting holes will line up and you can proceed to hand tighten the screws to anchor the motherboard.
With the motherboard in place you must attach the control wires, the front USB and the front sound connections. The cables are clearly marked. First find the one marked audio. This Motherboard connection is on the extreme right hand side toward the back. The connector is keyed with one hole closed so it fist only one way. The USB fits into one of the two blue connection on the same side of the motherboard.
Next you must connect the, Power Switch, Power LED, and Hard Drive LED connections. Though the motherboard has a forth connection for a reset button this case does not come with a reset button. Referring to the motherboard manual will assure you get the correct connections. The control wires. The pins for these are on the right hand side of the board cliose to the front.
The next connections come from the power supply. Connect the 24 pin power connector to the board. Make sure it is frimly seated. Next connect the 4 pin CPU power to the board. You will find this connection near the CPU. Seat this connection
Once you've anchored the board and made these connections we are ready to mount the Hard Drive and the DVDRW.
