All spare parts to Chieftec products and accessories are obtainable by your local dealers. Should you for some reason not find same, kindly drop us a brief eMail using: sales@chieftec.eu or visit: www.case-world.de

Basically, we offer 24mths after-sales warranty for all Chieftec products, except such damages that may have been caused by misusage or due to natural wearing.

No, Chieftec only manufactures and sells PC chassis. Suitable dam kits for nearly all Chieftec chassis can be found from several providers. For further information please visit the relevant known Modder and Overclocker websites.

Some HDD models may create vibration noise in our chassis, as those HDDs have slight difference in accordance with the standard dimensions. A simple solution to eliminate the vibration noise would be to use either a foam rubber or a few layers of adhesive film. These materials will be fixed between the HDD and the HDD rails to stop the vibration.

Standing in-front of the chassis, the hinges are positioned on the left side so that the door would open to the left side as well.

No, this is not possible.

Our colour code is based on pantone colours  NOT RAL. For further  informationen to Pantone colours, kindly follow the link: www.pantone.de

All Chieftec chassis are delivered WITHOUT an I/O shield as these are delivered with every mainboard.

The I/O shield is simply installed from the inside of the chassis and fitted into the mounting hole. With a little pressure from the inside, the I/O shield fastens itself.
To remove, simply press out the I/O shield, putting the pressure on the outside of the shield.

On the following graphic we will show you the pin assignment of the internal Audio, Firewire and USB cables.

With a little pratice, the single pin removement is as easy. First you need a pointed tool to lift carefully the extract protection inside the connector. Repeat this for every single cable. Now you can reconfigure the connector following the pin assignment of your mainboard

For some mainboards you also have to change the connector itself. You have to open the key-pin (the closed one) by using a very small drill (average) or a pointed tool e.g. a staple (novice). Heat the head of the pointing tool and pierce the closed key-pin. Be careful, because the connectors material is not designed for this kind of modification.

The fans in the HDD area should blow out the warm air. The fans on the side panel should suck the fresh air into the cabinet. The fan on the rear side should blow out the warm air. For models with fan hole on the top cover, the fan should blow the warm air out of the case.

Please see the graphic indication:

Pls. see the connectors and their relevance as stated below...

Switching power supplies have the reason to convert the AC with 230V (in Germany) into DC of 3.3 V, 5V, 12V and -12V. Therefore some circuits are required, which are all contained within the power supply. ATX power supplies are based on the ATX specification, which can be named as a common denominator in the PC sector. The specification makes it possible that any company, including the manufacturer of power supplies, is able to build a any matched part for a PC, so that at the end, all parts of the specification fit together. The ATX specification requires some important characteristics that must comply with the respective power supply. This is, for example, a minimum efficiency at a certain load or a certain amount of voltage stability, so that the PC can be operated stably.

It is now up to the companies to comply with these specifications in order to ensure cooperation between their new power supply and the PC. ATX standards are usually always backwards compatible, just some connectors like the new 24-pin does not always fit on a 20-pin ATX slot of an older revision. It is particularly important that the respective components belong to the same ATX revision, because otherwise it can lead to problems. Especially older versions of motherboards and processors do have difficulties with current power supplies.

Right here in the ATX specification are the big differences, because each manufacturer has a different approach to the problem. For some products there are inferior quality components installed and others still build on a design of an older specification, which is no longer in the position to operate today's systems stable.

The One-Touch-Backup function is only compatible with USB connection.

The iMon module is equipped with 3 extra breakage spaces (see figure), which can be separated. This shall allow you to adjust the correct length of the module and install it in different sizes of cases.

Considering the fact that all Chieftec chassis are screwed and not riveted, they may be disassembled accordingly.
