I. Quick-Start-Guide (3/6)

High performance systems like the LEET™ require proper system placement to assure safe operating

temperatures and solid system stability even under hours of heavy load. Please follow the instructions below.

A. Optimize airflow

Ensure good air circulation and do not place into

closed furniture.

If you place your system in an AV-Rack or

under/in a desk, ensure proper air intake and

exhaust clearance for the fans and ventilation

holes on bottom, rear, and left side.

Do not put system on carpet or soft surfaces

since they block air intakes on the bottom.

B. Keep away from water, heat, and dust

Setup in dry area and avoid exposure to

water/rain and excessive humidity.

Do not use system as a drink holder or coaster.

Avoid hot/warm areas like proximity to heaters.

Dust decreases system cooling performance,

hence avoid dusty areas.

C. Keep accessible

Keep system accessible to do any of the following:

Gently clean system exterior and interior from

dust

Turn on light switch

Open/close optical drive

Access front panel connectors

Access connectors on the back

D. Place front screen and IR receiver in sight

Place system in a way so you can easily see the

front screen for system monitoring parameters

and entertainment information.

Also, the IR receiver on the front left needs to

be in line of sight to use the IR remote control.

E. Other considerations

Never push objects into the PC. This could cause

short circuits , liquid drain, shock and/or fire.

Keep juniors’ hands away.

Keep system away from strong magnetic fields.

The system weighs up to 70 pounds. To avoid

injury, it should only be moved by a person with

a respective fitness level.

D. Connection chart with Audio/Video-Receiver (AVR)

Connect LEET™ to AVR with supplied DVI to HDMI cable.

Plug cable into “primary dedicated DVI port” of your graphics card as explained on page 5 (Step 2B).

Connect AVR to TV with HDMI cable.

Connect AVR to speakers with speaker cables.

A. Ensure sufficient power

Depending on system configuration, your LEET™ may draw up to 1250 Watts under full load. Hence,

please make sure, your power outlet is ready for this amount of power draw.

B. Connect to surge protector

Protect your investment by connecting the LEET’s power cable to a surge protector.

This surge protector should be directly connected to the power outlet in the wall.

C. Avoid cable traps

Route the power cable and all other cables in a way that they won’t be walked on or tripped over.

E. Connection chart without Audio/Video-Receiver (AVR)

Connect LEET™ to AVR with supplied HDMI cable and DVI/HDMI adaptor.

Plug cable into “primary dedicated DVI port” of your graphics card as explained on page 5 (Step 2 B)

Connect LEET™ to speaker with optical S/PDIF or analog audio cables

HDMI HDMI

Speaker Cables (Stereo/Surround)

HDMI

Optical S/PDIF or Analog Audio (Stereo/Surround)

Step 4 – Connecting the System

F. Important AVR and TV settings

Activate “HDMI pass-through” in your AVR settings

Activate “Game Mode” or “PC Mode” in your TV settings. If your TV does not have these settings, you

need to deactivate any picture processing options in your advanced TV settings (please see TV manual).

Failure to configure these settings will severely decrease your mouse responsiveness.

Revision1.7

I. Quick-Start-Guide (5/6)

NOTE: When turning on your PC for the first time, it is recommended to connect the bare minimum

peripherals, such as keyboard, mouse, and TV/monitor before connecting other devices like gamepads, Wi-Fi

receivers, scanners, printers, headsets, external hard drives, etc. After initial setup, shut down your system and

then connect your remaining devices.

A. Mouse and keyboard

Connect mouse and keyboard (or their respective wireless receivers if you have wireless devices) to the

black USB 2.0 ports on the back of the system. Some of the motherboard i/o-shields have dedicated

mouse and keyboard USB connectors marked with a mouse and keyboard symbol. In this case, please

make sure that you use these connectors.

If you have a wireless mouse and keyboard:

Use the supplied extension cables and place the receivers some feet away from the system, since the

aluminum chassis may distort or weaken the wireless signal.

For Optimal performance, place the receivers in direct sight without any obstructions between the

receiver and your wireless mouse and keyboard.

B. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas

Please connect the supplied antennas to their respective connectors on the back of the system

Place the antennas some feet away from the system, since the aluminum chassis may distort or weaken

the wireless signal.

Place the antennas away from other wireless receivers (e.g. wireless keyboard and mouse receivers) since

their wireless signals may interfere with each other and result in wireless lags, hangs, and/or disconnects.

Keep the receivers clear of obstructions to assure proper wireless performance

NOTE: We recommend to use a wired Ethernet connection rather than a Wi-Fi connection. Wired

connections are simply more reliable, faster, and have lower latency for lag free high-end gaming.

Step 5 – Connecting the Peripherals

Devices we offer and recommend:

Logitech Di Novo Edge Media Center Keyboard

Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard

Logitech G700 Wireless Gaming Mouse

Devices we had issues with and do not recommend:

Razer Naga Wireless Mouse

Razer Mamba Wireless Mouse

Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Wireless Mouse

Logitech MX5500 Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

Logitech MX Performance Mouse

Logitech K750 Wireless Keyboard

C. Wireless recommendations

We have tested and continuously test various leading wireless mice and keyboards in the market, and can

at this point only recommend and vouch for a few specific devices. Many devices we tested had issues

with long wireless distances (up to 15 feet), lags, disconnects, hangs, battery life, interferences , etc.

I. Quick-Start-Guide (6/6)

A. Firing up the LEET™

1. Switch the Power Supply switch to “on”.

2. Press the round Power Button on the front left of the system.

3. Your first boot may take a bit longer as usual and the system may turn on and off several times before

it boots into Windows. This is normal. Should you run into any problems or error messages, please refer

to the next section of this manual, “Best Practices”, and/or contact us for help.

B. Windows 8 key

Usually we pre-activate your Windows license during installation, so you do not have to active your

Windows license when you boot the system for the first time.

If Windows asks you ever for your Windows 8 key, you can find it on the sticker behind the front door.

C. Microsoft user account

When we install and configure your LEET™ we do so with a local account, without any password.

We recommend that you change your account type from a local account to a Microsoft account. This will

allow you to experience the full integration of Windows cloud services incl. Microsoft SkyDrive. To do so,

please follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to “Control Panel” >>> “User Accounts” .

2. Click on “Make changes to my account in PC settings”.

3. Click on “Switch to a Microsoft account” and follow the instructions.

D. Your binder

Your binder (which you have open right now) is a great place to keep important system software and

documentation – we have started you off by including:

Manual: Follow the “Quick-Start-Guide”, find out about “Best Practices”, and check out your individual

LEET’s “Manufacturing Log”.

Original Windows 8 Disc: For a any scenarios that require to boot from the Windows 8 DVD, like

Automatic Repair or restoring a restore point from boot.

System Image Disk: If you ever wish to reset your system to how it was when you received it from us.

Other software: Software that may have been provided by the manufacturers of your system’s

components.
