On the platform that supports the removable motherboard tray there are two black handles. Pushing downward on the handles allows for easy separation of the motherboard tray from the platform. Once the handles are pushed down, you simply lift upwards to remove the six supporting pegs from the platform. Removal of the motherboard tray also gives access to additional wire management holes cut into the platform. The motherboard tray, and the platform it sits on, have an additional large hole that provides access to the back side of a CPU cooler’s mounting hardware. The access holes are a great feature and can save you a lot of time when it is necessary to change out a cooler.

The PCI expansion slot bracket has provisions for up to eight expansion cards making full utilization of all motherboard form factors up to E-ATX in size.

Installing drives is a relatively painless operation requiring you to select the proper screws from the accessory tray, install four of them into each drive and then slide the drive into place. Raising the locking levers allows for positioning the drives into their corresponding bays. Then simply lower the levers back down which securely locks them in place.

As mentioned earlier in the review, to the right side of the XFrame is where a power supply gets installed. We thought we would show you what it looks like with a PSU actually installed.

As far as mounting a motherboard to the XFrame, you have two choices of standoffs included on the accessory tray. The standard screw in type standoffs you see on most cases are available; or you can choose the screw-less design, which allows for even quicker installation and removal of the motherboard.
