DF-85 USER’S MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85.

Your DF-85 is the gaming case re-envisioned, with all the award-winning build quality that made Antec cases

famous and plenty of airy, wide-open expandability with 14 total drive bays and 7 expansion slots. Fleet-

Release™ front drive bays allow swift customization of front fan and drive configurations and easy access to

tool-less, washable fan filters. A top-mounted hot-swappable SATA (SSD-compatible) drive bay plus Fleet-

Swap™ SATA drive interfaces offer blazing fast throughput with superb convenience.

The DF-85 comes without a power supply. Make sure you choose a power supply that is compatible with your

computer components and has a long enough power harness to reach your motherboard and peripheral devices.

We recommend our High Current, Signature Series, TruePower Quattro, TP New, or CP Series power supplies

for the latest ATX specification compliance, broad compatibility, and power savings capability.

At Antec, we continually refine and improve our products to ensure the highest quality. As such, your new case

may differ slightly from the description in this manual. This isn't a problem; it's simply an improvement. As of

the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.

Disclaimer

This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s computer enclosures. For more

comprehensive instructions on installing the motherboard and peripherals, please refer to

the user’s manuals that come with those components.

1.3BEFORE YOU BEGIN

In order to ensure that your building experience with the Dark Fleet DF-85 will be a positive one, please take

note of the following:

While working inside your Dark Fleet DF-85, keep your case on a flat, stable surface. Make sure your

build environment is clean, well-lit, and free of dust.

Antec cases feature rounded edges that minimize the occurrence of hand injuries. Nonetheless,

exercise caution and control when handling case interiors. We strongly recommend taking the

appropriate time and care when working inside the case. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please use

reasonable precaution.

Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a

card by its edges. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, never by its pins.

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself periodically by touching an unpainted metal surface

(such as a connector or screw on the back of this computer) or by using a wrist grounding strap.

Before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly aligned and oriented. Bent pins

can be difficult to fix and may require replacement of the entire connector.

This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please consult your

motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and troubleshooting. Before proceeding,

check the manual for your CPU cooler to find out if there are steps you must take before installing

the motherboard.

Do not sit on your case. Although it is constructed of heavy-duty steel and internally reinforced, it is

not designed to support the weight of an adult, and may buckle.

Remember to use the right tools for each task. Do not use improvized screwdrivers like coins, nails or

knife blades as they may result in damage to screw threads or even injury. Do not use your fingernails

to separate edges or lift the sides of the case, as paint chipping or injury may occur.

1.4LOCATING AND POSITIONING YOUR COMPUTER

Your DF-85 has backwards- and top-facing exhaust fans, as well as front-mounted intake fans and one side-

mounted front air intake. For optimum performance, we recommend leaving the front air intakes unobstructed.

When open, the DF-85’s Fleet-Release™ doors take up an additional 15.5 cm of space in the front. Since

loading and unloading the DF-85’s internal Fleet-Swap™ SATA bays through the doors will require opening

and closing them, you may wish to leave space in front of the computer open for this purpose.

The DF-85 comes with a top 2.5” Hot Swap drive bay. While it’s in a handy location, we do not

recommend that users put any liquid-containing items (drinks, ice cream, coffee, perfume, etc.) on the drive

bay. It was not designed for storage purposes.
