Solution Series User's Manual
SLK3700-BQE - Super Mid Tower Case
Your new case features a super-quiet Solution Series SmartPower power supply,
with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the ON ( I ) posi-
tion before you boot up your computer for the first time. Normally, you won't
need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power supply includes a soft
on/off feature. This lets you turn your computer on and off by using the soft
switch on your computer case. If your computer crashes and you can't shut it
down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O)
position.
[Applies only to models designed for sale in the European Union: Solution
Series SmartPower Power Supply models designed for the EU include Power
Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accord with European standard regulation
code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, PFC improves the
power factor of the power supply. This results in increased energy efficiency,
reduced heat loss, prolonged life for power distribution and consumption equip-
ment, and improved output voltage stability.]
Setting Up
1. Take the case out of the box. Remove the Styrofoam and plastic bag.
2. Put the case on a flat surface.
3. Note: (not applicable to models designed for the European Union): Before
installation, check the red voltage switch setting on the power supply. It
should match your local voltage (115V for North America, Japan, etc. and
230V for Europe and many other countries). If it doesn't match, please
change the setting. If you don't, you could damage your equipment and
void your warranty.
4. Place the case upright.The power supply fan should be at the back, facing
you.
5. Remove the screws from the right side panel.
6. There are two latches on the side panel. Press both latch releases. The
latches will partially pop out. Disengage the latches by pushing them to the
90-degree position, and swing open the panel.
7. Inside the case, you'll see the power supply, some wiring with marked
connectors (USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel and a power cord.
You'll also find a bag of hardware (drive rails, screws, brass standoffs,
plastic stands, etc.).

by pressing the release tabs on the bottom of the bezel. Set the bezel
safely aside.
Installing the Motherboard
This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please
consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and
troubleshooting.
1. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and
power supply should be visible.
2. Make sure you have the correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If the
panel provided with the case isn't suitable, please contact your motherboard
manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
3. Line up your motherboard with the standoff holes, and remember which
holes are lined up. Not all motherboards will match with all of the provided
holes; this is normal, and won't affect functionality.
4. Remove your motherboard by lifting it up.
5. Screw the brass standoffs into the threaded holes that line up with your
motherboard. Do not overtighten the standoffs. Some standoffs may be
pre-installed for your convenience.
6. Place your motherboard on the brass standoffs.
7. Attach your motherboard to the standoffs with the provided Phillips-head
screws. Your motherboard is now installed.
Connecting the Power and LED
The Antec Solution Series SmartPower power supply is an ATX12V form factor
power supply. An ATX12V power supply has a single 20-pin Main Power
Connector, a 6-pin AUX Power Connector, and a 4-pin +12V Power Connector
for the motherboard. It also includes five to seven 4-pin Peripheral Power
Connectors and one to two 4-pin Floppy Drive Power Connectors for your
drives. It is backwards compatible to previous ATX form factor power supplies.
If your motherboard does not support the AUX Power Connector or the +12V
Power Connector, you can still use this power supply.
The power supply is also equipped with a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect it
to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You may monitor the speed
of the rear power supply fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the
monitoring software that's supplied with your motherboard. Note: At low
temperatures, the fan may run as slow as 1500 RPM. At these speeds, some
motherboards may not properly detect the fan speed and may generate false
warnings of fan failure. To ensure proper monitoring of the fan, please check
your motherboard manual.
1. Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector (and AUX or +12V connectors
if appropriate) to your motherboard.
2. Connect the Reset switch (labeled RESET SW) to your motherboard at the
RST connector. Make sure the label always faces the front of the case.
3. Connect the Power Switch (labeled POWER SW) to the PWR connector on
your motherboard.
