| 1. | Determine the type of your case whether it is AT or ATX type. The type of case must be matched with your motherboard. In detail, if your motherboard is AT type, then you must have AT type case. Otherwise, your motherboard won’t fit into the case. | ||
| 2. | Remove the screws on the back panel of the case to cover off the case. Most of case cover comes off top and side panel as a cover toward backside. In some cases, you need to cover off the case toward front side. If you have a newer designed case, which is called as "screw-less", just pull out the side panel of the case to cover off the case. If you are not sure which screw needs to be remove, the easiest way to take out the right screw is to note which screws’ heads are completely surrounded by the edge of the cover of case. | |
|
| 3. | Check all the necessary accessories of the case such as screws, and power cable. Be sure to check that you have every screws such as Chassis, Smaller, and Standoffs screws. | |
|
| 4. | Once the screws are removed, keep the screws in a safety place for later use. | ||
| 5. | Check the Power Supply, it needs to be attached tightly to the mount. Make sure it is set to the appropriate voltage of your installation place. (Most of states in United States provide 110V power voltage, but some foreign countries provide 220V power voltage). | |
|
| 6. | Check the Case Fan. Most cases already have this installed. However, if the case fan does not have installed, you must set the case fan to draw air into the case. | |
|
| 7. | Clean inside and outside of the case including Power Supply area if necessary. | |
