possible that your new case will differ slightly from the descriptions in this manual. This isn’t  
a
problem; it’s simply an improvement. As of the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and

The P183 does not come with a power supply (PSU). 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 CP  
series, TruePower or Signature Series power supplies for the latest ATX specification  
compliance, broad compatibility, and energy-saving capability.  
Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly  
recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried  
or careless motions. Please use reasonable precaution.  
This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation. Please  
consult the 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. While installing hardware, keep your case on a flat,  
stable surface.
