Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl Window: Construction / design

Cleaning the lters

Filters are installed at air intakes to prevent dust from entering the case. To ensure optimal

cooling, lters should be cleaned at regular intervals.

• To clean the PSU lter, simply slide the lter toward the rear of the case and remove it;

clean dust accumulation from it.

• To clean the front lter, open the front door, push the symbols on the hatch behind the

door to gain access to the fan holder. Remove the fan holder by pushing the small re-

lease mechanism on its top. The lter can then be cleaned directly by hand or it can be

cleaned with water if detaching it from the fan holder plastic.

Mounting additional fans

Rubber spacers are included for mounting additional fans in the optional top or side panel

positions in Dene R4; spacers eliminate direct contact between the fan and case, which

helps prevent vibrational noise.

Construction / design

Motherboard SSD mounting positions

For maximum use of the space between the motherboard and the side panel, Dene R4

computer cases feature an additional mounting option for two (2) 2.5″ solid state drives

(SSD) behind the motherboard.

SSDs should be mounted to the motherboard plate prior to installing the motherboard in the

case; drives should be mounted with the SATA connector pointing forward and with straight

SATA & SATA power cables – 90° cables are not supported.

Power / HDD activity LED

Dene R4 features a power LED; by switching the connectors on the motherboard, the

power LED can function as an HDD activity LED. In either case, this connection to the moth-

erboard is optional; computer functionality is not dependent on connection.
