SONATA III 500 USER’S MANUAL
The Sonata III 500 comes with a 500 Watt EarthWatts™ power supply unit (PSU) which is built to be compatible with the ATX12V version 2.2 specification. This PSU features higher energy efficiency which reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. EarthWatts power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency. In addition EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection).
EarthWatts also includes Universal Input with Active Power Factor Correction (PFC). Universal Input allows you to connect your Antec EarthWatts power supply to any AC power outlet between 100~240V without having to worry about setting a voltage switch. Active PFC reduces electrical waste by improving the power factor value to the power supply, helping the power plant to provide power to users more efficiently.
Power Switch: This power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the ON (I) position before you boot up your computer for the first time. In normal operation there is no need to turn the switch to the OFF
(O) position since the power supply is equipped with a soft on/off feature, which turns your computer on and off through the soft switch on your computer case. You may need to turn the switch to the OFF position occasionally should your computer crash and you cannot shut it down through use of the soft switch.
SETTING UP
Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface. The power supply fan should be at the back, facing you. Remove the thumbscrews from the panel with the latch. Unlock the side panel, swing the panel out, and remove it. Set the panel safely aside.
Note: Please do not try to use your fingernails to pry or lift the panel. Inside the case you should see the power supply, a 120mm TriCool™ fan (preinstalled), some wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel, and a power cord. You will also find a bag of hardware (screws, brass standoffs,
plastic stands, etc.)
INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD
This manual does not cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting.
1.Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power supply should be visible.

INSTALLING 3.5” DEVICES
There are two external 3.5” drive bays right under the 5.25” drive bays. Press the two metal tabs on the sides of the 3.5” drive tray and pull the 3.5” drive tray out of the case.
1.Remove the drive bay cover from the drive bay that you intend to install the drive.
2.Mount your floppy drive or other external device into the drive bay. Repeat the same procedure for the other drive as necessary.
3.Slide and lock the drive tray back into the case.
4.Find a small 4-pin power connector on the power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin connector on the device.
There are 4 internal drive bays right under the external 3.5” drive bays for hard drives. Each comes with an individual drive tray which mounts through the open side panel of the case.
1.Squeeze the metal clips on each side of the tray and slide the tray out.
2.Mount your hard drive or other internal 3.5” device into the drive tray through the bottom silicone grommets with the special screws provided.
Note: DO NOT over-tighten. Over-tightening the screws will harm the vibration and noise reducing ability of the silicone grommets.
3.Slide and lock the tray back into the case.
4.Find a peripherial power molex connector on the power supply and connect it to the male 4-pin or SATA connector on the device.
5.Repeat the same procedure for the other devices as necessary.
Note: You can mount the drives with either the connectors facing you or away from you. If you mount them with the connectors facing away from you (into the case) you may wish to connect the data cables before sliding the drive into the locked position.
Note: Mounting the drives with the connectors facing you (towards the open side of the case) may make squeezing the release clips more difficult.
5.25” DEVICE INSTALLATION
There are three 5.25” drive bays. Each drive bay comes with a plastic cover with two drive rails attached behind the cover.
1.Remove the plastic drive bay cover and remove the drive rails from the cover. You may wish to open the bezel door to facilitate this.
2.Mount the drive rails onto the sides of the 5.25” device. Make sure the metal tabs are angled on the outside and facing towards the front of the device.
3.Slide the device into the drive bay until you hear a click.
4.Mount the other devices accordingly.
5.Connect a peripherial power connector from the power supply to the male connector on each of the devices.
COOLING SYSTEM
The Rear Exhaust TriCool™ fan
The Sonata III 500 comes with one 120mm TriCool fan preinstalled in the rear. This fan has a three-speed switch that lets you choose between quiet, performance, or maximum cooling. (See specifications below.) The fan is installed so that the air is blowing out of the case. Connect a large 4-pin connector from the power supply to the male 4-pin connector on the fan.
Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend our users to set the fan speed to high if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage may start as low as 4.5 V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start. The already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry below 5V.

The Front 120mm Fan
This case comes with one optional 120mm fan mount in the front right behind the 3.5” internal drive bays. The front fan should be installed so that the air is blowing into the case from the front.
Note: We recommend AGAINST using a front fan for maximum quiet computing. If you choose to install a front fan, we recommend you use an Antec TriCool™ 120mm fan and set the speed to LOW.
MAINTAINING THE WASHABLE AIR FILTER
There is a washable air filter behind the front bezel. From time to time it will be necessary to wash the installed air filter as not washing it will result in higher system temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend checking the air filter at least once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on environmental conditions and system usage, as users who run their systems 24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than those who do not.
To remove the filter:
Tilt the case backwards for easier access.
Squeeze the two tabs on the filter and gently pull downwards.
