MAGNUM SMA8 and SMH10 Assembly Manual
Please note that this manual uses a MAGNUM SMA8 in all the images. The SMH10 has some very slightly different parts, but the assembly process is identical. Step 1 Locate the top and front chassis sections. Top Front Remove the front cover from the front chassis, and set aside. These parts have orientation markers for front and top. F is for front and T is for the top. These orientation markers will be used throughout the assembly process.
Join the top of the front chassis to the front of the top chassis using the bag of countersink screws. Step 2 Turn the assembly on its side so that the top chassis is on the floor.
Locate the chassis divider and join the parts as shown. It is best to insert the screws that go in the front chassis first, then insert the screws into the top chassis. Note that the smooth side of the divider is facing inwards. Chassis Divider Step 3 Locate the chassis mid plate and join the parts as shown. It is best to insert the screw which is next to the second cable management hole (in the center of the part) first. Chassis Mid Plate
Step 4 Turn the assembly on to its side. Locate the bottom chassis and join the parts as shown. Please note the F orientation marker on the part. Bottom Chassis
Step 5 Turn the assembly on to the front as shown. Locate the rear chassis and the L shaped hinges from the door hinge kit. Rear Chassis L shaped hinges
Attach the hinges to the rear chassis with the bag of screws in the door hinge kit.

Attach the cages as shown. Step 8 Locate the switch assembly and attach as shown.
Step 9 Locate the clip kit and attach the clips to all stand off locations around the case. Step 10 Locate the PCI backplate, motherboard tray and motherboard tray handle. There will be screws taped to the wrapping on PCI backplate, these will be used to attach the backplate to the tray.
Slide the motherboard tray into the guides on the divider. Attach the motherboard tray handle to the PCI backplate.
Install the PCI backplate on to the rear chassis, but leave slightly loose. Then attach to the motherboard tray where the arrows indicate. Once the motherboard tray assembly is assembled, check to make sure it slides freely, but is also not too loose.
The top guide is adjustable to insure a proper fit. If the tray is in need of adjustment, loosen the screws indicated below. Then retighten with the desired tension. Step 11 Locate doors and the remaining parts from the door hinge kit. If you door has a window, there is a protective backing which needs to be peeled off.
Attach the hinges as shown. Please note that the flat side of the hinge is facing up. Once the hinges are attached the doors can be installed. Step 12 Locate the top cover and lower side covers. Lower Side Covers Top Cover (standard shown)
Note that one side of the top cover has an extra bend. This bend is the front of the top cover. Attach the side covers, top cover and front cover to the case. END.
