How to install In Win BQ656

• Prepare your components: Ensure you have a Mini ITX motherboard, a 2.5" SSD or HDD for the internal bay, and any optional 5.25" device you plan to use in the external bay. Confirm you have all necessary screws and a compatible mounting solution for your drives.
• Place the motherboard: Remove any access panels as required, align the Mini ITX motherboard with the motherboard standoffs in the chassis, and secure it with the included screws. Attach your I/O shield to the back of the case if included, and confirm all standoffs align with the motherboard mounting holes.
• Connect power and data: Since a 399W power supply is installed in the BQ656, connect the 24-pin ATX and 4/8-pin CPU power cables from the PSU to the motherboard. Attach 2.5" drive power and data cables as needed, ensuring clean routing to minimize cable clutter and maximize airflow.
• Install the storage drive: Slide your 2.5" SSD/HDD into the internal 2.5" bay, secure it with screws, and connect the drive’s power and data cables. If you’re using the external 5.25" bay, install your optical drive or compatible accessory and secure it per the device’s guidelines.
• Route and manage cables: Tidy any cables around the motherboard tray and drive bays, using built-in routing channels or ties if available. Ensure that air intake and exhaust paths aren’t obstructed by cables, which helps maintain efficient cooling in this compact enclosure.
• Close and test: Reattach any panels you removed, connect your monitor, keyboard, and peripherals to the front I/O, and power on the system to verify that the motherboard POSTs, drives are detected, and all front-panel connections function as expected.
