NSK 1480
Quiet Desktop Slim Case
The Power Supply
The NSK 1480 comes with a 350-Watt power supply (PSU) that features universal
input and active PFC. This includes dual 12V output rails that deliver safer and
more reliable output to the system’s components. This PSU has achieved 80 PLUS®
Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency. It reduces
power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. In
addition it has a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OPP (over power
protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVP (under voltage protection), and
SCP (short circuit protection).
The Rubber Pads/Stands
There are four rubber pads inside the tool bag. If you want to place the case
horizontally on a desktop, stick the rubber pads to the bottom of the case. There
are also two stands so the case can stand up vertically. Place the case onto the
stands with the optical drive bay at its top position. Make sure the stands do not
block the two air intakes on the bottom.
Setting Up
1. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface.
2. Remove the thumbscrews from the back of the top panel. Slide the panel
towards the rear to remove it from the case.
3. Inside the case you should see the power supply, some wiring with marked
connectors (USB, PWR etc.), and installed I/O panel and a power cord.
The Dual Chamber structure
Upon opening the top panel, you will find that the case is divided into two separate
chambers—the motherboard chamber and the HDD chamber. The power supply is
designed to directly suck fresh air from outside the case. This unique feature combined
with the dual chamber structure isolates heat and noise from each section, resulting in
much quieter and cooler operation than a traditional desktop case. Although care
has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend
taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid excessive force
and hurried or careless motions. Please take reasonable precautions.
