Assembly Instruction
STEP 1 - Disassemble Backplane
Unscrew the 4x Screw (M3x5mm Hexagon Head).
Pull out the Internal Backplane.
STEP 2 - Install Front Panel
Insert the Front Panel.
Position the Front Panel on top of the 2x standoffs.
Secure the Front Panel with 2x screws (M3 x 4mm).
Install the Front Panel Sticker.
!!! important Position the sticker to be perfectly aligned and flushed with the top, bottom and right edges of the metal plate.
STEP 3 - Install Helios64 Board
Position the Helios64 board on top of the 4x standoffs.
Secure Heliso64 board with 4x screws (M3 x 4mm).
STEP 4 - Install UPS Battery (Optional)
Insert the 2x long cable tights through the anchor slots.
Position battery and secure it with the cable tights (cut the cable zip tight excess).
Connect the 6-Pin Molex connector to Heliso64 board.
!!! note Run the battery cable according to the drawing above.
STEP 5 - Connect Front Panel
Connect the Front Panel USB and IDC connectors to Helios64 board.
STEP 6 - Install HDD Harness
Prepare the harness by sorting / untangle the wires to identify each connector based on their cable length.
!!! note The longest cable is for HDD Slot 1. The second longest is for HDD Slot 2 and so on...
Connect the 8-Pin Molex connector to Heliso64 board.
Install HDD Slot 1 connector with 2x screws (M3 x 5mm).
!!! important Pay attention to HDD Slot connector orientation. The 4 power wires are supposed to be on the left, while the SATA cable is on the right. Power wires and SATA cable will cross each others which is expected. If you install the HDD Slot connector wrongly, then you won't be able to insert an HDD and might damage the connector.
Connect SATA connector to Heliso64 SATA port 1. Then Secure the SATA cable with a cable tight like on the drawing below (cut the cable zip tight excess).
Secure the power wires with 2x cable tights like on the drawing below (cut the cable zip tight excess).
Repeat the same actions for HDD Slot 2 connector and connect its SATA connector to Helios64 SATA port 2.
Repeat the same actions for HDD Slot 3, 4 and 5 connectors. The completed harness installation should look like the drawing below.
!!! important The harness includes 4x capacitors (little black cylinders) which their own attached wires. While install HDD Slot 3 and 4 connector, you need to secure those capacitors together with the HDD power wires as shown in the drawing below.
STEP 7 - Install Back Panel
**Install the 2x Fans with their grids to back panel with 8x screws (7/32" PC Fan Screw) **
!!! important Pay attention to the orientation off all items (back panel, fans and their grid) in the drawing below. Wrong assembly will impact air flow direction.
