Hardware Installation:

The Soprano comes equipped with tool-free hard drive and floppy drive installers. Using them is very simple, just slide a drive into one of the bays, align the screw-holes of the drive and case, attach one of the tool-free installers, push-in and turn clock-wise. This literally takes 15-seconds to do.

You do not have to use the tool-free installers, if you wish you can use the supplied screws to mount a drive.

Installing 5.25’’ optical drives is as easy as installing a 3.5’’ drive, simply align the pins on the drive rail with the drive holes and attach the rail, then slide the drive in through the front of the case.

The Thermaltake Soprano has EMI protection springs around the edges of either side of the case to shield against electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices.

Also featured is an ‘intrusion detector’ which, when hooked-up to compatible motherboards will alert you via the motherboards on-board speaker when the side-panel is unexpectedly opened.

The Soprano also features tool-free expansion slots, which allow for quick and easy upgrades. These are very secure and like the 3.5’’ drive bays are optional.
