The FRAME 4500X includes a Reverse Connector Magnetic Strip (1), designed to cover the exposed edge of the reverse connector holes in the motherboard tray.

• Align the Reverse Connector Magnetic Strip (1) to your standoffs and adjust side to side to close the gap on your motherboard.

If you're installing a motherboard with reverse connector compatibility, the Reverse Connector Magnetic Strip (1) can be used to fill the gap around the 24-pin ATX port, providing a cleaner and more polished appearance.

When installing a standard motherboard, you can slide the Reverse Connector Magnetic Strip (1) behind the board, aligning it with the screw holes along the motherboard tray, to cover the reverse connector slot and conceal any wires running along the motherboard tray for a cleaner look.

• Connect the FPANEL plug to the front panel I/O header on your motherboard, aligning it with the keyed layout. This header is often labeled JFP1 on some motherboards.

• Use the included Front I/O Adapter (4) to connect the FPANEL plug to the individual front panel header pins.

The FRAME 4500X can mount up to 10x 120mm or 5x 140mm fans on the top, side, rear, PSU shroud, and bottom of the case.

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 4500X features the InfiniRail system on the top of the case.

• Loosen the Philips head screw on both ends of the InfiniRail to adjust fan size from 120mm to 140mm.

• Tighten the Philips set screws on the top and bottom of the InfiniRail to secure your mounting location.

• Align your fans to the InfiniRail fan mounting slots and and secure them with screws provided by the fan manufacturer.

To install fans on the side, ensure you have the Side Fan Mounting Bracket (J) installed.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting slots, and and secure them by screwing standard self-tapping fan screws into the fan frame.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting holes on the bottom of the case and on the PSU Shroud (H).
• Secure the fans with Long Fan Screws (7).

The FRAME 4500X has fill / drain ports pre-punched in the top and bottom panels for a Hydro X open loop liquid cooling setup.

• Remove the port covers by gently prying them off with a flathead screwdriver.

The FRAME 4500X offers several locations to mount a radiator for liquid cooling, with the top location featuring an adjustable InfiniRail fan mount. Please refer to the Fan Installation section for details on using the InfiniRail Fan Mounting System.

Top mounting provides optimal noise performance, but other mounts can be utilized based on your build preferences. Consult your cooler's product manual for more tips on usage and best practices.

With the appropriate mounting screws, radiators can be securely installed on the side of the case as well.

The FRAME 4500X Series includes one Combination Drive Plate (D), that allows you to mount a single 3.5" HDD or two 2.5" SSDs.

• To remove the Combination Drive Plate (D), unscrew the single captive thumbscrew and remove the plate.

• Install the HDD onto the bottom of the Combination Drive Plate (D) by securing it using the included HDD Screws (8) found in the accessory box.

• Install an SSD onto the bottom of the Combination Drive Plate (D) by securing it using the included SSD Screws (9) found in the accessory box.

The Combination Drive Plate (D) also serves as a mounting location for an iCUE LINK System Hub (3), if one is used.

• Install the PSU with the fan facing down.
• Secure the power supply to the chassis with the two captive screws located on the back of the FRAME 4500X.
• For additional security, secure the PSU using two Motherboard Screws (8) screws in the corners of the rear panel.

The FRAME 4500X is fully compatible with CORSAIR SHIFT power supplies and installs identically to a standard ATX PSU.

• Install the PSU with the fan facing down.
• Secure the two captive screws to the PSU exhaust area.
• For additional security, secure the PSU using two Motherboard (8) screws in the corners of the rear panel.

The included PCI bracket allows the FRAME 4500X to support both horizontal and vertical GPU mounting configurations.

• Remove thumbscrews and PCIe slot covers.

• Insert the card into the PCIe slot until it clicks into place with the PCIe slot's retention retention mechanism.
• Align the bracket with the PCIe slots and secure the card to the case.

The FRAME 4500X supports vertical GPU mounting with the included PCI plate and a PCIe Riser Card (sold separately).

• Uninstall the PCI Plate (E) by loosening the two captive screws at the rear of the case.

• Rotate the PCI Plate (E) 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the PCIe slot cover thumbscrews face upward.

• Re-screw the two previously removed thumbscrews.

• Install the Vertical Mount Standoffs (11) from the accessory box to the top of the PSU shroud. There are two locations for standoffs, so choose the location that best suits the size of your GPU in relation to how far it is from the side panel.

• Mount the PCIe Riser Card (sold separately) to the standoffs using two of the included Motherboard Screws (8).

• Mount the GPU into the PCI bracket by firmly seating it into the riser card until it clicks, then secure it to the PCI plate with a thumbscrew.

The GPU Anti-sag Stabilization Arm supports your graphics card, preventing it from bending or sagging under the weight of its heatsink. This not only helps protect your graphics card and PCIe slot, but also contributes to a cleaner, more professional-looking build.

• Adjust the GPU Anti-sag Stabilization Arm (A) by loosening the front-facing thumbscrew and sliding the arm up or down until it properly supports your graphics card.

If your GPU fan or other parts come into contact with the rubber arm, use the included Anti-sag Stabilization Arm Rubber Spacer (2) from the accessory box to ensure clearance from any moving parts.

• Attach the self-adhesive Anti-sag Stabilization Arm Rubber Spacer (2) to the GPU Anti-sag Stabilization Arm (A).
