Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Fractal Design Define R4 computer case.
Please read the following information and instructions thoroughly, before using your new

Define R4 computer case
Your new Fractal Design Define R4 computer case is based on the award-winning and com-
mercially successful Define R3 computer case, while also incorporating improvements and
new features beyond the original design.
Define R4 sets the standard for configurability in the Define Series: its generous dimensions
accommodate the entire range of motherboard and graphics card sizes; its multiple ventila-
tion options ensure that internal components operate at ideal temperatures; and its modular-
ity facilitates the positioning of internal components and cable routing.
Finally, Define R4 carries on the Define Series legacy of minimalistic and stunning Scandina-
vian design combined with maximum functionality and sound reduction.

Installation / instructions
To take full advantage of the improved features and benefits of the Define R4 computer
case, the following information and instructions are provided.
Expandability
Of the two hard disk drive (HDD) cages in Define R4, the upper one is removable and rotat-
able. To remove or rotate the upper HDD cage, the two thumbscrews securing it must be
removed. Following removal or rotation of the HDD cage, reinsert and secure the thumb-
screws.
•
In its original position, the upper HDD cage has been positioned to optimize a clean
build with excellent HDD cooling and cable management.
•
By removing the upper HDD-Cage, Define R4 supports graphics cards up to 400mm.
•
By rotating the upper HDD Cage, it acts as an air guide for the front fan and directs air
to the graphics card.
Usability
Fan controller
The fan controller is located in the top right corner behind the front door. The controller has
three positions: the bottom position is the low speed (5v), the mid position is medium speed
(7v) and the top position is full speed (12v).
Note: Some fans will not start in the low-speed position, and need a higher setting. Check the Starting Voltage of non-
Fractal Design fans for which setting should be used.
