At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. So it's
possible that your new case may differ slightly from the descriptions in this manual. This isn't
a problem; it's simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions,
and illustrations in this manual are correct.
TX1050B/TX1088AMG – SUPER MID TOWER CASE
This case is designed to meet Intel's Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) design guide requirements.
Your new case also features a quiet ATX12V version 2.0 compliant power supply, with a main
power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the ON ( I ) position before you boot up your
computer for the first time. Normally, you won't need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the
power supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn your computer on and off by using
the soft switch on your computer case. If your computer crashes and you can't shut it down using
the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O) position, to clear the fault, then
reboot.
[Applies only to models designed for sale in the European Union:
SmartPower 2.0 series and TruePower 2.0 series power supply models designed for the EU include
Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code
EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the
power supply. This results in increased energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, prolonged life for
power distribution and consumption equipment, and improved output voltage stability.]
SETTING UP
1. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface. The power supply fan should be at the back,
facing you.
2. (Not applicable to models designed for the European Union): Before installation, check
the red voltage switch setting on the power supply. It should match your local voltage
(115V for North America, Japan, etc. and 230V for Europe and many other countries).
If it doesn't match, please change the setting. If you don't you could damage your equipment
and void your warranty.
3. Remove the thumbscrews from the right side panel. Unlatch the panel and remove it by
swinging it out. Note: Don't use your fingernail to pry or lift the panels.
4. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked connectors
(USB, PWR etc.), and installed I/O panel, a power cord and a plastic bag containing more
hardware (screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.), and eight drive rails.
INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD
This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your motherboard
manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.
1. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power supply should
be visible.
2. Make sure you have the correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel provided
with the case isn't suitable, please contact your motherboard manufacturer for the correct
I/O panel.
