Bottom Side View (Tower Variant) 

To implement the KISS 4U V3 SKX platform as a tower, remove the two handle brackets, see Chapter 8.2: Removing 
the Handle Brackets a
nd attached the four rubber feet supplied in the delivery, see Chapter 8.1: Attaching the Rubber 
Feet, in
 the positions shown in Figure 24.  

When the KISS 4U V3 SKX tower is upright, the three system fans must be located in the lower part and the drive bays 
in the upper part of the KISS 4U V3 SKX tower. For more information, see Chapter 8.7: Installing as a Tower 

 

 

 

Attach the four rubber feet close to the four corners of the underside of the tower to 
improve the tower’s stability.
