Hardware Installation Guide
2.1 Setting Up
1. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface so that the rear panel (power supply and expansion
slots) is facing you.
2. Remove the panel thumbscrews from the side panel and open it by sliding it towards you.
Note: Place the panel thumbscrews carefully aside as they are NOT interchangeable with the HDD
cage thumbscrews.
3. Remove the panel thumbscrews from the other side panel and open it by sliding it towards you.
Place the screws carefully aside. Inside the case is the power supply mount at the lower rear of the
case and the 5.25” drive bay area with two HDD cages inside the bays. You will also find some wiring
with marked connectors (USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel and a toolbox containing more
hardware (screws, brass standoffs, etc.).
Note: Don’t use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels.
2.2 Power Supply Installation
1. With the case upright, place the power supply on
the four silicone pads on the bottom of the case.
Note: Power supplies will need to be mounted
so that the PSU fan is facing the top of the case.
Nine Hundred Two V3 provides mounting holes for
power supplies with standard mounting layouts
to be installed upside up or upside down.
2. Push the power supply to the back of the case and
align the mounting holes.
3. Attach the power supply to the case with the screws
provided.
2.3 Motherboard Installation
1. Lay the case down so that the open side is up.
2. Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel
for the motherboard. If the panel provided is not
suitable for the motherboard, please contact
the motherboard manufacturer for the correct
I/O panel.
3. Line up the motherboard with the standoff
holes. Determine which holes line up and
remember where they are. Not all motherboards
will match with all of the provided screw holes,
and this is not necessary for proper
functionality. Some standoffs may be pre-
installed for your convenience.
