CORSAIR 2800X SERIES

The 2800X Tempered Glass Side Panel (A) and Steel side Panel (G) are retained by two ball snaps at the top.

• Grab the panels from the finger-grab, pull the top of the panels outward, tilt them toward the floor, then lift them off the side of the case.
• Place the side glass panel somewhere soft/safe, such as a couch or wooden table, while you are working on your PC to ensure you don’t experience accidental damage.

• Pull the Tempered Glass Front Panel (I) outward. It's secured by four ball snaps - two at the top and two at the bottom.
• Place the front glass panel somewhere soft/safe, such as a couch or wooden table, while you are working on your PC to ensure you don’t experience accidental damage.

The top panel I/O is replaceable, if necessary. It is mounted to the top section of the case with four screws.

• Remove the Top Filter (C) and the Steel Side Panel (G) from the case to allow access to the four screws holding the I/O in place.
• To remove the top I/O, simply unscrew the screws, and the entire I/O assembly can be pulled off.
• Repeat in reverse to reassemble.

The 2800X supports mini-ITX and micro-ATX motherboards, including reverse connector motherboards such as ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and GIGABYTE Project Stealth with power connections on the back of the board for a clean build with no visible cables.

• Align the motherboard with the standoffs and secure it with the provided Motherboard Screws (1).

• 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 (9) to connect the FPANEL plug to the individual Top-mounted Front I/O header pins.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting positions and secure them using the screws included with your fans.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting holes on the PSU Shroud.
• Secure the fans with Long Fan Screws (5) from the top.

• Align your fan to the fan mounting holes.
• Use the screws included with the fan to secure it to the case.

The 2800X features built-in fan and radiator installation points throughout the case.

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.

The 2800X provides mounting space for two SSDs or one HDD on the removable Drive Plate (F).

• Remove the Drive Plate (F) from the case by unscrewing the retaining screw.

• Secure the SSD(s) onto the Drive Plate (F) by securing them using the included SSD Screws (3).

• Install the HDD onto the Drive Plate (F) by securing it using the included HDD Screws (1) found in the accessory box.

• Install the power supply with the fan facing down.
• Secure the power supply to the chassis with the two captive screws located on the back of the case.
• For additional security, secure the power supply using two Motherboard Screws (1) in the corners of the rear panel.

The 2800X is designed with SHIFT power supplies with side-mounted connectors in mind, meaning all SHIFT power supplies are fully compatible and have ample space to bend and route cables to necessary locations.

A CORSAIR SHIFT power supply installs identically to a standard ATX power supply.

The 2800X natively only supports horizontal GPU installations.

• Unscrew the PCI slot covers and remove them.

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

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 by loosening the front-facing thumbscrew and sliding the arm up or down.

Please visit the CORSAIR RS120-R ARGB Quick Start Guide for instructions on fan installation.

The 2800X features three removable dust filters. A magnetic side filter, a magnetic top filter and a slide-in bottom filter.

• To remove the Top Filter (C), simply lift it out of place.

• To remove the magnetic Side Filter (H), remove the Steel Side Panel (G), and pull the filter of the panel.

• To remove the Bottom Filter (E), grab the pull notch from the front of the case and pull forward.

The 2800X includes various cable management features such as:

• 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.
• Support for most reverse connector motherboards (MSI, ASUS, GIGABYTE) that feature connectors on the rear of the board for a build with no visible motherboard cables.

CORSAIR 2800X cases come with a 2-year warranty.
