Mounting AQ6 installation and Caselab STH10

Tuesday, March 22nd 2016, 12:19am

My research shows that I need to use the Caselab nonconforming 5.25 flex bay mount to install the AQ6 controller in the Caselab 5.25 flex bay. However, I spoke with Caselab and they were not able to absolutely confirm this since they believe that whatever mounting issues existed (believe the controller was smaller than 5.25) with their cases and the controllers were resolved about 1 year ago. I need a shorter mount to install the controller because the standard mount is too long and makes contact with the radiator mount (installing controller in upper chamber). If anyone can confirm that this is the correct mount, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks...Al

Research showed that the non-conforming was needed, however, I tested the standard size flex bay mounts and they worked. I just needed the mounts shorter though to keep from hitting the radiator.

Update: I thought I'd provide a followup to my AQ6 mounting questions and show that the normal Caselab 5.25 flex bay mounts do work perfectly when installing the controller in their cases. I used the Caselab short adjustable mount and the controller sits flush and even. You Do Not need to use the non conforming mounts as in the past anymore.


Note: I purchased the unit less than 2 weeks ago, so these newer ones should be ok with the standard short mounts, but I hear the older version still needs to be used with the non-conforming mounting plate. Also, I do not know when the mounting changes took place.
