It’s possible that your new case will differ slightly from the descriptions in this manual. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct. Disclaimer This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer enclosures. For more comprehensive instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to the user’s manuals that come with those components. The P193 does not come with a power supply unit (PSU). Make sure you choose a power supply that is compatible with your computer components and has a long enough power harness to reach your motherboard and peripheral devices. We recommend our CP Series, TruePower Series or Signature Series power supplies for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad compatibility, and energy- saving capability. Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please use reasonable precaution. This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before proceeding, check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take before installing the motherboard. While installing hardware, keep your case on a flat, stable surface. 2 1.1 CASE SPECIFICATIONS Case Type Advanced Mid Tower Color Gunmetal Gray Dimensions 514mm (H) x 205mm (W) x 590mm (D) 20.25" (H) x 8.1" (W) x 23.25" (D) * Actual clearance for width is 9.5”/241mm due to the side panel fan Weight 35.8 lbs / 16.25 kg Cooling -1 x Rear 120mm TriCool™ exhaust fan -2 x Top 140mm exhaust TriCool™ fan -1 x Side 200mm Big Boy 200™ fan for dual video cards -1 x Lower (optional) chamber 120mm TriCool™ fan -1 x Front (optional) 120mm fan mount for HDD -1 x Middle (optional) 120mm fan mount for video cards Drive Bays 11 Drive Bays: -4 x External 5.25” drive bays -1 x External 3.5” drive bay -6 x Internal 3.5” drive bays Expansion Slots 7 Motherboard Size Mini-ITX, microATX, Standard ATX, Extended ATX Front I/O Panel 2 x USB 2.0 1 x eSATA AC’97 / HD Audio In and Out 1.2 DIAGRAM 1.
