3. Installazzjoni tal-Unità tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija (PSU)

Install your standard ATX power supply unit into the dedicated bottom mount area of the case. Secure it with screws from the rear of the case. Ensure all necessary power cables are routed through the appropriate cutouts for connection to your components.

4. Installazzjoni tad-Drajv tal-Ħażna

The D302A provides multiple mounting points for 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs. Refer to the case's internal layout for specific drive bay locations, typically behind the motherboard tray or within the PSU shroud. Secure your storage drives using the provided screws or tool-less mechanisms.

5. Installazzjoni tal-Fann u r-Radjatur

The D302A offers extensive cooling support. Plan your fan and radiator placement based on your system's cooling requirements:

• Fuq: Supports up to 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm fans, or liquid coolers up to 360mm.
• Quddiem: Supports up to 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm fans, or liquid coolers up to 360mm.
• Wara: Supports 1x 120mm fan or a 120mm radiator.
• In-naħa: Supports up to 2x 120mm or 2x 140mm fans.
• PSU Shroud: Jappoġġja sa 2 fannijiet ta' 120mm.

Install fans and radiators according to your chosen configuration, ensuring proper airflow direction (intake or exhaust) for optimal thermal performance.
