How to Install In Win Dragon Slayer mATX Chassis
- Unpack the Dragon Slayer and verify all components are present. Ensure you have a clean workspace and anti-static precautions before handling any hardware.
- Prepare the chassis interior by removing side panels if needed to access the main area. Identify the motherboard mounting points and the standoff locations sized for a micro ATX motherboard.
- Install the micro ATX motherboard by aligning it with the I/O shield and standoffs, then secure it with the appropriate screws. Double-check that the board sits flat and the I/O ports align with the case opening.
- Mount storage drives into their respective bays: place any 5.25" devices into the external bays, install a 3.5" drive into the external 3.5" bay, and insert a 2.5" SSD or HDD into the internal 2.5" bay. Use the provided screws or mounting brackets as needed.
- Install cooling fans in available positions up to the 0–7 fan capacity. Connect fan power cables to motherboard headers or a dedicated fan hub if you have one, ensuring airflow directions promote efficient circulation through the case.
- Route and manage cables from the power supply, motherboard, and front-panel I/O. Keep cables away from fans and critical components to maximize airflow and minimize interference with mounting hardware.
- Reattach side panels, perform a power-on self-test, and verify that all fans spin, drives are detected, and I/O ports function correctly. Tidy up cables for a clean, professional appearance and optimal airflow.
- Install any additional components, such as GPUs or PCIe cards, paying attention to clearance with drive bays and other hardware. Finally, re-check cable routing and panel fit before regular use.
