AcoustiCase™ C6607A & B - Fitting Guide with Images |
1. Preparation
Take a few minutes to read any instructions that come with the pack.
Be careful to heed warnings about not placing materials directly over
ventilation holes, or any moving parts or other components that will require
airflow for cooling.
 Turn
any mains power supply off and unplug any power leads from the mains supply.
The case should be fitted not connected to any power supply. |
2. Fit the Case Roof
Remove any Power Supply Unit (PSU), and turn the case upside down. Remove
the top 5¼-inch drive bay cover to allow easier access to the front
of the case roof (see below).
Peel back a portion of the self-adhesive backing paper, and position the
front narrow section of the roof part towards the front of the
case as far as possible. Then remove the remainder of the backing
paper and fit the remaining material PRESSING FIRMLY
when into position. |

 |
3. Fit Drive Bay Blanking
Plates
Fit the small backing pieces of acoustic composite behind the case front
3½ and 5¼-inch drive bay covers. The drive bay covers can
be reached by prising off the front of the case. To do this, press the
tabs either side of the front cover located towards the base; and lift
the cover off (with a forward and up motion). |
 |
4. Fit Acoustic Foam Block on the Case
Floor
Fit the almost square acoustic foam block under the Hard Disc Drive (HDD)
cage on the case floor. This is a pressure-fit, and just pushes into the
space.
This block will help to direct cool air from the front of the case over
the installed hard disk drives. |
5. Fit Case Floor Acoustic Composite
Fit the floor piece in the bottom left hand corner under the 'open door
switch' (take care - this is fairly delicate), then the back of the floor
under the expansion slots.
Position materials lightly at first - so they can be
repositioned if necessary.
Once in position, position the remainder of the sheet and PRESS
FIRMLY (this 'sets' the adhesive) over the entire sheet paying
attention to 'molding' the sheet over the case feet. |
 |
 |
6. Add Acoustic Foam Blocks (Optional)
Pressure-fit the acoustic foam blocks into any spare 5¼ and 3½-inch
drive bays. Acoustic blocks are also provided to fit into any spare locations
in the HDD cage.
Take
care not to place any acoustic foam block immediately against any devices
that may not tolerate being isolated from cool air circulation (such as
a disk drive). |
7. Add Acoustic Composite adjacent to Expansion
Card Slots
Attach the shaped acoustic composite material piece into the space adjacent
to the expansion slots. Make certain the material does not cover the door
locking screw hole. The acoustic material can be placed against the floor
acoustic covering. |
 |
 |
8. Fit Side Panel Behind the Motherboard
Unscrew and remove the side panel behind the motherboard.
Fit the sheet to the hinge edge first pressing lightly.
Check there is an 18mm gap between the material and the the rear edge
of the door to allow it to close. When the position looks correct, fit
the remainder of the sheet. PRESS FIRMLY over the entire sheet to set
the adhesive. |
9. Fit Main Door Panel
Fit the sheet to the hinge edge first, leaving a similar
18mm gap at the rear of the door, and press lightly.
When the position looks correct, fit the remainder of the sheet. PRESS
FIRMLY to set the adhesive. |
 |
 |
10. Add the Air Filter (Optional)
The air filter can be installed by removing the lower front grill section
of the case. This is achieved by lifting the case up slightly
and locating and pressing the tab under the front of the case
grill. Once detached, install the washable air filter in the
void behind the front grill, and replace the unit.
Remove
the air filter and wash regularly to maintain adequate airflow. Do not
use the air filter if maximum airflow is required for cooling purposes. |

Important!
- ONLY position the materials as directed in the fitting directions
and as depicted in the graphics above.
- DO NOT cover the ventilation holes at the rear or the front of the
case with any materials (except the washable air filter if installed).
- DO NOT position materials inside the case in such a way that may
inhibit the correct functioning of any internal components, especially
cooling fans, disc drives and moving parts. These components require
adequate space and ventilation. Whilst every care has been taken to
produce a set of templates that will be appropriate for the majority
of component configurations, it is the responsibility of the machine
builder to position the materials appropriately to facilitate normal
functioning of internal components.
