Utilize the numerous cutouts and tie-down points behind the motherboard tray to route and secure cables. This improves airflow and maintains a clean interior aesthetic.

6. Connessioni I/O frontali

Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HD Audio, Power Switch, Reset Switch, Power LED, HDD LED) to the corresponding headers on your motherboard. Ensure correct polarity for LEDs.

7. Fan Connections and Controller

The case includes pre-installed fans connected to a fan controller. Connect the fan controller's power cable (Molex) to your power supply. The fan speed can be adjusted via the top panel controls.

8. Installazione della scheda grafica e della scheda di espansione

Remove the necessary expansion slot covers from the rear of the case. Insert your graphics card or other expansion cards into the appropriate PCIe slots on your motherboard and secure them with screws or tool-less latches.

After all components are installed and cables connected, replace the side panels. Connect your system to a power source and press the power button on the top panel to start your computer.

2. Controllo della velocità della ventola

The top panel features buttons to adjust the speed of the connected case fans. Press the fan speed button to cycle through different speed settings. An LED indicator will show the current speed level.

3. External SSD Hot-Swap Dock

The external SSD hot-swap dock located on the top panel allows for quick insertion and removal of 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. Ensure the dock is properly powered (via an internal Molex connector) and connected to a SATA port on your motherboard. Carefully insert the SSD into the dock until it seats correctly.

Manutenzione

1. Pulizia del filtro antipolvere

The CM Storm Stryker includes removable dust filters on the front, top, and bottom. Regularly remove and clean these filters to prevent dust buildup and maintain optimal airflow. Filters can typically be rinsed with water and air-dried before reinstallation.

2. Pulizia generale

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the case. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Il sistema non si accende: Verify all power connections, including the 24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, and graphics card power cables. Ensure the power supply switch is in the 'on' position. Check front panel power switch connection to the motherboard.
• Case fans not spinning: Confirm the fan controller is powered via its Molex connector. Ensure fans are properly connected to the fan controller. If an LED fan is not lighting up, check the polarity of its connection to the fan controller or motherboard header.
• Porte USB non funzionanti: Verify the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 headers are correctly connected to your motherboard.
• External SSD hot-swap not detected: Ensure the hot-swap dock's internal Molex power connector and SATA data cable are securely connected. Check your motherboard's BIOS settings for hot-plug support on the relevant SATA port.
