USB Connection  
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front USB ports.  
This is an Intel standard connector, which is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally  
reversed as long as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header.  
Connect the 10-pin connector to the motherboard headers so that the blocked pin  
fits over the missing header pin.  
Note: Please check the motherboard manual for the USB header pin layout and  
make sure it matches the table below. If it does not match this Intel® standard,  
search for part number 30095 to order a USB Internal Adapter Cable. This adapter

Connecting the IEEE 1394 (FireWire®, i.Link®) Port  
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front IEEE 1394  
connection. This is an Intel standard connector, which is keyed so that it can’t be  
accidentally reversed as long as it is connected to a proper Intel standard moth-  
erboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to the motherboard header so that  
the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.  
Note: Please check the motherboard manual for your IEEE 1394 header pin layout  
and make sure it matches the table below. If you intend to connect the front  
FireWire port to an IEEE 1394 add-on card that comes with an external-type IEEE  
1394 connector, you will need a FireWire Internal Adapter. To order one, please  
part number 30031. This adapter will allow you to connect the front IEEE 1394  
port to the external-type connector.

Connecting the Audio Ports (AC’97 and HDA)  
There is an Intel standard 10-pin AC’97 connector and an Intel 10-pin HDA (High  
Definition Audio) connector; you can connect either the AC’97 or the HDA  
connector to your motherboard depending on the spec of the motherboard. If your  
motherboard supports Intel’s standard onboard AC’97 audio connector, plug in the  
AC’97 connector directly onto the board. If your motherboard supports Intel’s High  
Definition Audio, you can plug HDA onto the board. See instruction below:

3.5” External Device Installation  
There is one external 3.5” drive bay under the 5.25” drive bays.  
1.  
Carefully remove the 3.5” drive bay cover from the bezel. Load the drives  
from the front, lining them up to the front of the drive cage.  
With one hand supporting the drive, fasten the drive with the screws provided.  
Find a small 4-pin white connector on the power supply and connect it to the  
male 4-pin connector on the floppy drive.  
2.  
3.  
3.5” HDD Installation  
There is one 3.5” HDD mounting point in the bottom 5.25” drive bay, and another  
at the bottom of the case. Using the HDD bay at the bottom of the case may  
4
result in being unable to use the 4th PCI slot depending on the length of the card  
used. Both HDD trays use soft silicone grommets to mount the HDD.  
1.  
2.  
Remove the screw fastening the HDD tray to the case and slide the tray out  
of the case.  
Mount the hard drive into the drive tray through the bottom silicone  
grommets with the special screws provided.  
Note: Don’t over-tighten the screws. Over-tightening the screws will reduce  
the vibration and noise-dampening ability of the silicone grommets.  
Slide and fasten the tray back into the case.  
Repeat the same procedure for the other as necessary.  
Find a peripheral power molex connector on the power supply and connect it  
to the male 4-pin or SATA connector on the device.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
5.25” Device Installation  
There are two external 5.25” drive bays (with one HDD tray inside the lower  
5.25” bay). If you choose to use the lower drive bay for the HDD, you can only  
install one 5.25” device to the case. Note: The 5.25” bay will not support devices  
more than 6.9” deep.  
1.  
Looking from the rear of the case you can see some metal grilles covering  
the 5.25” drive bays. Carefully push a screwdriver through the metal grille  
and gently push the plastic drive bay cover outwards until it comes off.  
Use your hands to twist the metal plate back and forth until it breaks off. Be  
careful of the newly exposed metal where the grille was attached, as these  
areas are likely to be sharp.  
2.  
Note: Don’t break off the metal grilles covering the drive bays that you are  
not using.  
Slide the 5.25” device into the bay from the front.  
Fasten the 5.25” device into the drive bay with screws provided.  
Repeat the same procedure for other devices.  
Connect a 4-pin large white connector from the power supply to the male  
4-pin connector on each of the devices.

Cooling System  
The Rear Exhaust TriCool™ fan:  
The NSK 3400 comes with one 120mm TriCool fan preinstalled. This fan has a  
three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet, performance, or maximum  
cooling. (See specifications below.) The fan is installed so that the air is blowing  
out of the case. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the  
male 4-pin connector on the fan.  
Note: The default setting of the fan is Low. We recommend this speed for quiet  
computing.  
Note regarding using fan speed controllers with TriCool fans: The minimum  
voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend setting the fan speed to High if the  
fan will be connected to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found  
on some of Antec’s power supplies. A fan-control device regulates the fan speed  
by varying the voltage to it. The voltage may start as low as 4.5V to 5V.  
Connecting a TriCool set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in  
the fan not being able to start. The already lowered voltage from the fan control  
device will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry below 5V.

The Front 92mm Fans  
This case comes with two optional 92mm fan mounts in the front of the case. The  
front fan should be installed so that the air is blowing into the case from the front.  
We recommend using Antec TriCool 92 mm fans and setting the speed to LOW.  
There are four special fan screws included with the case. Use these to fasten  
the fan in place from the inside. Connect the fan to the power supply or onto the  
motherboard.
