All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest
quality. So it's possible that your new P160W 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.
Disclaimer
This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec's Computer Enclosures. For detailed instructions
on installing your motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the user manuals supplied with your
components and drives.
We don't include a power supply with the P160W, so you're free to choose one
that best suits your needs. Make sure you choose a PS/2 size power supply
that conforms to the ATX12V standard and is compatible with your motherboard.
Setting Up
1. Take the case out of the box. Remove the Styrofoam and plastic bag.
2. Put the case on a flat surface.
3
Remove the thumbscrews from the back of the side panel that has the
circular latches. Unlock the panel by turning the latch handles at the top of
the panel counter-clockwise. Open the panel by swinging it down. Then pull
it away from the case and set it aside.
4. Inside the case, you'll see wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR, etc.)
and an installed I/O panel. You'll also find a bag of hardware (screws,
brass standoffs, drive rails, etc.).
5. Remove the front bezel by pulling it away from the case. Start at the
bottom, detach the middle, and finish with the top. Remember to disconnect
the wiring from the front bezel. Set the bezel safely aside.
Installing the Power Supply
1. With the case upright, place the power supply on the support beam that
runs from the 5.25" drive bays to the back of the case. Note: most
dual-fan power supplies should be installed with the second fan towards
the bottom of the case.
2. Push the power supply to the back of the case and align the mounting holes.
3. Attach the power supply to the case, using the screws provided.
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 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.
3. You'll see a removable motherboard tray inside the case. Unscrew
