How to Install Thermaltake S100 Tempered Glass Micro Chassis
- Prepare your components: Gather a Micro-ATX motherboard, a compatible power supply, a graphics card, storage drives, and cooling hardware. Ensure you have the necessary screws and standoffs included with either the case or your components.
- Install the power supply: Slide the power supply into the case if it fits the intended layout, and secure it to the PSU mount. Route the power cables toward the motherboard tray area but keep them tucked away from fan intake paths to maximize airflow.
- Mount the motherboard: Use the included standoff screws to align the Micro-ATX motherboard with the case’s mounting holes. Gently seat the motherboard, then secure it with screws. Take care to avoid overtightening, which could damage the board or tray.
- Install storage and cooling: Mount any 2.5" drives or 3.5" drives in their respective bays or trays as per your layout. Attach the preinstalled rear 120mm fan to ensure airflow across the CPU and GPU areas. If you plan to add more cooling, verify clearances for additional fans or radiators and route cables accordingly.
- Install the graphics card and power connections: Insert the GPU into the appropriate PCIe slot and secure it with screws. Connect the power cables from the PSU to the GPU and motherboard as required, keeping cables neatly managed behind the motherboard tray to sustain good airflow.
- Attach the tempered glass panel and finalize: After all components are installed, carefully reattach the tempered glass panel to the left side of the chassis, ensuring it is securely fastened. Double-check that all cables are connected and that there are no loose components before powering on the system for the first boot.
- First boot and cable tidy: Power up the system to verify POST, then tidy any remaining cables for a clean interior. If RGB lighting or front panel connections are used, align them with your preferred aesthetic and test functionality to confirm everything operates smoothly.
