Installation Guide
Follow these general steps to install your components into the Antec Flux case:
1. Preparation
Unpack the case and remove all accessories. Ensure you have the necessary tools, such as Phillips head screwdrivers [screwdriver-icon]. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge [static-discharge-warning].
2. Motherboard Installation
Install standoffs [standoff-screws] into the case chassis according to your motherboard's layout. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws [motherboard-screws].
3. Power Supply Unit (PSU) Installation
Mount the PSU in its designated bay, typically at the bottom rear of the case. Secure it with screws [psu-screws]. Connect necessary power cables to the motherboard and components later.
4. Storage Device Installation
Install 3.5” HDDs into the drive cages and 2.5” SSDs into their dedicated mounting points. Secure them using the provided screws or tool-less mechanisms [storage-mounts].
5. Graphics Card (GPU) Installation
Remove the appropriate expansion slot covers from the rear of the case. Align the GPU with the PCIe slot on the motherboard and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Secure the GPU bracket to the case with screws [gpu-screws].
6. Cable Management
Route all power and data cables through the designated channels and tie-down points behind the motherboard tray. This ensures unobstructed airflow and a clean look [cable-management-routing]. Connect all necessary cables to the motherboard, GPU, storage, and front panel I/O.
7. Final Assembly
Double-check all connections. Install any additional components like CPU coolers and RAM if not already done. Carefully attach the tempered glass side panel, ensuring it is properly seated and secured [panel-securing].
Care and Maintenance
To keep your Antec Flux case in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Periodically dust the exterior and interior using a soft, dry cloth. For the tempered glass panel, use a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
- Fan Maintenance: Ensure fans are free from dust buildup. If necessary, gently clean fan blades.
- Airflow: Do not obstruct the air intake and exhaust vents. Ensure adequate clearance around the case for proper ventilation.
Safety Information
Please observe the following safety precautions:
- Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before performing any maintenance or installation.
- Handle components with care to avoid damage from static electricity.
- Ensure all cables are securely connected to prevent short circuits.
- Keep the case away from water and excessive moisture.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the PC case.
