Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Fractal Design Define XL R2 computer case.
Please thoroughly read the following information and instructions before using your new case.
Define XL R2
Define XL R2 is designed on the same successful principles of the acclaimed Define R4 chas-
sis; A stylish and understated design with a focus on providing the user with a silent computer
system, while offering flexibility and ease of use during installation and upgrades.
With an all-new interior layout, Define XL R2 accommodates a wider range of components,
such as E-ATX and XL-ATX motherboards, and multiple graphics card setups with access to
9 PCI expansion slots. In addition, the new layout allows for installation of the largest CPU
coolers, multiple hard drives as well as providing ample space for neatly organized cable rout-
ing in the back of the case. For those who are aiming to achieve maximum sound reduction,
installing water-cooling components are possible in both the front and top panel.
Finally, Define XL R2 carries on the Define Series legacy of minimalistic and stunning Scandi-
navian design combined with maximum functionality and sound reduction.

The fan controller is located in the top right corner behind the front door panel. It is a 3-position
switch – the bottom position is low speed (5v), the mid position is medium speed (7v) and the
top position is high speed (12v). The fan controller has three connectors for controlling three
chassis fans; a molex connector connects the fan controller to the power supply.
