Remove the case side panels 

Put the case upright on a stable, flat surface with rear facing you. Remove the thumbscrews from both 

side panels and store them in a safe place. Remove each panel by slide the the panel toward the rear.  

 

Install the motherboard 

The CR280 is compatible with mini-ITX motherboards enabling you to build a high-performance 

compact PC. Let’s install one. 

 

1.

 

Install the CPU, CPU cooler and memory on the motherboard.  

Refer to your CPU and motherboard documentation how to mount the CPU and its cooler on 

your motherboard. If you are using a liquid CPU cooler you may find it easier to install it after 

the motherboard is installed in the case. 

 

2.

 

Install the I/O panel

.  

Your motherboard should have come with a standard I/O panel that shields and exposes the 

rear motherboard connectors out of the back of the case. From inside, snap the I/O panel into 

the cutout in the rear of the case.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

 

Attach the motherboard to the case.  

The CR280 comes with four mounting standoffs for a mini-ITX motherboards. Slide the 

motherboard into the I/O panel and then align the motherboards screw holes with the case 

standoff. Attach the motherboard to the standoffs with the provided motherboard 

thumbscrews.
