How to use

Remove the removable HDD cages if needed to create space for installing internal components. Mount the chosen motherboard (Mini-ITX, Micro ATX or ATX) and secure drives in the appropriate 2.5" or 3.5" bays. Install a PSU either on the top (standard ATX) or use a compatible 2U PSU. Connect front I/O and fans, and ensure the integrated air filters are correctly positioned before racking the chassis into a 19" cabinet.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling and dust control, check and clean the integrated air filters regularly and ensure adequate intake and exhaust airflow in the rack. Use the removable HDD cages during drive installation to simplify cabling and then secure them for operation. Lock the front doors if physical access should be restricted.
