II. Installaon Instrucons
1. Installaon of the motherboard

Aach the included EPS extension cable on to your motherboard – do not connect it to the
power supply yet. Next you should mount the CPU cooler - for very large CPU coolers, the
aachment of the EPS extension cable aer installaon can be dicult.
In the next step place the motherboard
gently inside the case and lead the EPS
extension cable through the opening
provided in the top le of the mainboard
tray. Fix the motherboard to the mother-
board tray. Aer the installaon of the
power supply, you can connect the EPS
extension cable to the EPS-connector on the
PSU at the back of the motherboard-tray.
2. Installaon of opcal drives and removal of the 5.25 inch cage
You can install up to two external drives 5.25 inch drives in the CoolForce 2.
2.1 Installaon of opcal drives
To install opcal drives, please remove both side panels. The installaon of opcal drives
requires neither screws nor tools.
Remove the 5.25 inch cover by pushing it
gently but steadily from the inside out
In order to reach the tool-free locks on the le
side of the case (as seen from the front), please
remove the cover inscribed with “Designed in
Germany” in front of the 5.25 inch cage.
Loosen the lock on both sides by dragging the black slider backwards. Then slide the drive into
the desired posion. Lock the holder by pushing the slider back to its original posion.

2.2 Removal the 5.25 inch cage
If you don’t need opcal drives or wish to install radiators under the top or in the front and
need addional space, you can simply take out the 5.25 inch cage from your CoolForce 2.
Please remove the front rst (see chapter 5.1) und unscrew the seven screws which connect
the cage to the front of the case. Next please remove the two screws on the rear of the cage
and take it out of the case.
3. The Nanoxia ModuWand
One of the main features of the CoolForce 2 is the Nanoxia ModuWand. It allows the installaon
of hard disk drives, fans, reservoirs, or pumps for a water cooling system. The Nanoxia Modu-
Wand can be removed for the installaon of extra-long VGA-cards.
The ModuWand is xed with four screws. To take the ModuWand out of the case, please

4. Installaon of hard drives
You can mount up to six 2.5 inch SSD as well as up to four 3.5 inch HDD in the CoolForce 2.
4.1 Mounng of hard disk drives in the 2-bay HDD-cage
Install the hard drives in the illustrated mounng frames. In order to extract the frame, squeeze
the protruding brackets and pull the slide out gently. Please be advised that the HHD-cage is
only accessible from the right side, as seen from the front.
To install a hard drive into a bracket insert the disk so that the connectors point to the back and
aach the hard drive using the screws provided.
For the installaon of 3.5 inch drives, use the
holes in Figure 3A
For the installaon of 2.5 inch drives, use the
holes in Figure 3B
To lock the drive, push the bracket with the drive back installed back into the slot unl the
bracket is re-engaged.
4.2 Removal of the HDD-cage
The 2-bay HDD-cage of your new case is modular and can easily be removed. You can also
purchase addional HDD cages and increase the number of hard disk drives in your case.
Due to this unique variability, you can:
- Adjust the number of available HDD mounts
- Opmize the air ow within the case
- Mount a water cooling system behind the front fans

If you want to remove the hard drive cage
in order to install a water cooling radiator,
simply loosen the 4 screws connecng the
cage to the chassis. You can then simply
remove it.
4.3 Ulizing the 2.5 inch mounng trays
Your CoolForce 2 comes with four 2.5 inch mounng trays, which have been specically
designed to hold SSD drives.
In order to mount an SSD on the tray, rst remove the thumbscrews that holds the tray in place
and then the 2.5 inch tray. Place the SSD on the front of the tray and x it with the included
2.5 inch mounng screws.
In the next step, please put the mounng tray with the aached SSD back inside the case and
x it with the thumbscrew.
SSD
We strongly recommend using our at SATA cable with the straight connector, which we
developed especially for this purpose, in order to guarantee a smooth t of the side panels.
One SATA connector cable is already included, you can purchase addional cables in stores

EN
4.4 Ulizing the ModuWand for the installaon of hard disks
The versale Nanoxia ModuWand allows the installaon of up to four hard disk drives – two each
of 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives per side (removal of the 2-bay HDD-cage may be necessary).
Please remove the Nanoxia ModuWand for the installaon of hard disks rst (see chapter 3).
If you plan to install both 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives, you have to install the 2.5 inch drives rst and
only then the 3.5 inch HDD, as you wouldn’t be able to reach the 2.5 inch mounng holes
otherwise.
For the installaon of a 3.5 inch hard disk on the outer side of the ModuWand, it is necessary to
use the included SATA combo-cable with the angled connector. Connect the cable to the drive
before the installaon. You cannot connect the cable aer the drive has been mounted. Addio-
nal cables can be purchased in stores.
Please note that installing hard disks on the outer side of the ModuWand will limit the availab-
le space for the installaon of long VGA cards.
5. Removing the front panel and the Nanoxia Air-Cover
5.1 Removing the front panel
To remove the front panel, simply hold the cutout at the boom of the front panel and pull it
towards you with a rm tug. Please be careful not to damage the cables of the Nanoxia Rigid
LED bar behind the front.
5.2 Removing the Nanoxia Air-Cover
To remove the lid of the case, for example to install fans or radiators under the top of the case,
please rst loosen the catch at the rear side of the cover. Pull it gently backward and upward
away.
08
If you wish to close the Air-Cover again, let it slide obliquely from above into the appropriate
mounng holes and lock it with the catch.
6. Fan assembly
Three 140 mm fans are pre-installed in your case. You can mount up to nine fans in total.
We recommend the use of the 120 or 140 mm Nanoxia CoolForce fans, available separately.
These are technically and visually equivalent to the factory-installed case fans and will work in
perfect harmony with the built-in fan control of your case.
You can, of course, connect the addional fans to the fan controller (see chapter 7.2).
Front and boom of the CoolForce 2 are equipped with easy to clean dust lters. We recom-
mend that you clean them on a regular basis.
