  • Removing the power supply

  • Disconnect the power connector from the logic board (this looks alot like a standard ATX connector. The lone difference is that the wire which supplies -5V on an ATX supply [pin 18] becomes a ground wire in the B&W G3. If you just plug in an ATX supply without any modifications, you'll short out its -5V output. )

  • There is a 4-Pin Cable connected to the front panel box, remove it.

  • Disconnect the internal fan cable.

  • The Fan Connector

  • Then Route all of the cables up through the case to the level of the power supply.
