DF-10 USER’S MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of the Antec Dark Fleet DF-10.

Meet the DF-10, the Dark Fleet enclosure rocking elite style at an attractive price. Our industry-acclaimed 0.6

mm SECC internals are cooled by TwoCool™ fans pulling air through a blacked-out interior featuring a

transparent side window and front washable fan filter. And building with the DF-10 is a snap, thanks to a CPU

cutout and cable routing compartment. With a bevy of in-demand features and a rugged exterior, all at a

supremely attractive price, the Dark Fleet DF-10 is more than just a low price - it’s the value case that gives you

more for your money.

The DF-10 comes without a power supply. Make sure you choose a power supply that is compatible with your

computer components and has a long enough power harness to reach your motherboard and peripheral devices.

We recommend our High Current, Signature Series, TruePower Quattro or TruePower New power supplies

for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad compatibility, and power savings capability.

At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As such, your new case

may differ slightly from the description in this manual. This isn't a problem; it's simply an improvement. As of

the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.

Disclaimer

This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer enclosures. For more

comprehensive instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to

the user’s manuals that come with those components.

1.3 BEFOREYOUBEGIN

In order to ensure that your building experience with the Dark Fleet DF-10 will be a positive one, please take

note of the following:

While working inside your Dark Fleet DF-10, keep your case on a flat, stable surface. Make sure your build area

is clean, well-lit, and free of dust.

Antec cases feature rounded edges that minimize the occurrence of hand injuries. Nonetheless, exercise caution

and control when handling case interiors. We strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when

working inside the case. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please use reasonable precaution.

Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by

its edges. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, never by its pins.

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself periodically by touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a

connector or screw on the back of this computer) or by using a wrist grounding strap.

Before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly aligned and oriented. Bent pins can be

difficult to fix and may require replacement of the entire connector.

This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your

motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before proceeding, check the

manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take before installing the motherboard.

Do not sit on your case. Although it is constructed of heavy-duty steel and internally reinforced, it is not

designed to support the weight of an adult, and may buckle.

Remember to use the right tools for each task. Do not use improvised screwdrivers like coins, nails or knife

blades as they may result in damage to screw threads or even injury. Do not use your fingernails to separate

edges or lift the sides of the case, as paint chipping or injury may occur.

INSTALLATION

SECTION2

2.1 SETTINGUP



Put the case upright on a flat, stable surface so that the rear panel (power supply and expansion slots) is facing

you. To remove the left and right side panels, remove these thumbscrews:

Now rest your case with the left side up. Here’s what we’ll be working with first:

A – Power supply mounts

B – 5.25” drive bay area

C – 3.5” drive bay area

D – Front panel wiring

E – I/O panel

Note: Do not use your fingernails to pry or lift the panels. Damage to the panels or injury to

your fingernails may result.

Note: This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please

consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.
