USING THE INFINIRAIL™ FAN MOUNTING SYSTEM

CORSAIR's InfiniRail™ is an innovative fan and radiator mounting system designed to offer exceptional flexibility and ease of use in PC case builds. Unlike traditional cases with fixed mounting points, InfiniRail utilizes adjustable steel rails that allow users to slide and position fans and radiators precisely where needed.

The FRAME 4000 features two of these InfiniRail systems; one on the top and one on the front.

NOTE: Determine the size and placement of your fans before configuring the rails. You do not have to fully remove the InfiniRail Phillips head screws.

Adjusting the Rails in the Front of the Case

  • Loosen the Phillips head screw on both ends of the InfiniRails.
  • Adjust both front rails for your fans according to the markings on the case.

NOTE: If using 200mm fans in front, you may need to remove the PSU shroud depending on your version of FRAME 4000 Series.

MAINTENANCE


1. CLEANING YOUR CASE FILTERS

The FRAME 4000 features three removable dust filters. A power supply filter on the bottom, a magnetic filter on the side, and a plastic/nylon filter on the front.

  • To remove the Front Fan Filter (J), tilt the plastic filter frame towards the top of the case, pulling from the bottom.

NOTE: Filters can be cleaned with pressurized air or water. If you rinse your filter, ensure filters are fully dry before reinstalling.


2. CABLE MANAGEMENT TIPS

The FRAME 4000 includes other various cable management features such as:

  • Variable internal/external hook and loop straps for the rear of the case.
  • Multiple positions for hook and loop straps to accommodate standard or reverse connector motherboards.
  • Zip tie points are strategically placed for routing power cables to specific devices.
  • iCUE LINK cable hooks in the top panel to securely hold LINK cables without permanent attachment.
  • Supports most reverse connector motherboards (MSI, ASUS, GIGABYTE) that feature connectors on the rear of the board for a build with no visible motherboard cables.
  • A dedicated location for your iCUE LINK System Hub.
  • If you don’t feel like spending much time on cable management and don’t want your cables visible through the bottom mesh quarter-panel, swap the translucent insert for the color-matched blank-out insert included in the Accessory Box.
