How to install Thermaltake S500 Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Chassis

• Prepare your work area with an anti-static mat or grounded surface, and have your screwdriver, zip ties, and mounting screws on hand. This helps protect components and speeds up the build process.
• Install the power supply first (if your model uses a bottom PSU layout). Align the PSU with the case’s mounting area, secure it with screws, and route the power cables toward the rear of the chassis. If your case uses a PSU shroud or a dedicated area behind the motherboard tray, tuck cables neatly into the space behind the tray to keep the interior clean.
• Prepare the motherboard tray by installing the appropriate standoffs for your ATX motherboard. Align the I/O shield with the case I/O opening, then carefully place the motherboard into the chassis and secure it with screws. Route the motherboard power cables and data cables behind the tray to minimize visibility from the main chamber.
• Install storage drives in the designated bays or trays. If the S500 TG supports both 2.5" and 3.5" drives, secure each drive with the supplied hardware, ensuring cables are neatly routed and do not interfere with fans or the graphics card slot.
• Mount expansion cards and graphics modules. Ensure adequate clearance for the GPU length and thickness, and use the included or supplied PCIe slots to anchor the card securely. If you plan to add more cooling, position radiators and fans in the front, top, or rear based on your airflow strategy, and route tubing or cables carefully to prevent interference with other components.
• Attach the tempered glass panel last, using the provided screws or fasteners. After installation, double-check cable management, fan operation, and clearance around all components. Power up the system to verify boot and cooling performance, and adjust fan curves as needed via your motherboard software or BIOS to optimize acoustics and temperature.
