WARNING: The side panel of this case is made of tempered glass, which is softer than materials like ceramics (e.g. tile, brick) or stone (e.g. quartz, granite). Contact with these types of harder surfaces can cause non-visible damage that may shatter the glass. CORSAIR recommends removing all glass panels before placing the case or building on a hard surface. If necessary to place your case on a hard surface permanently, be sure to elevate your case to avoid accidental contact from the panel, potential damage, or injury. |

TIP: For optimal noise, thermal performance, and reliability, ensure the radiator is mounted higher than the pump when using an AIO. |
NOTE: If you would like to install a radiator in the rear fan mount, you must install the fans between the case and radiator. |
NOTE: If you would like to use the side 360mm fan mount, you must be using 140mm or larger fans in the top or remove the inner row of 120mm fan to avoid interference. |
INSTALLING A GRAPHICS CARD OR EXPANSION CARD
TIP: Add the GPU as one of the final steps for easier building. |

TIP: Fan configurations are printed on the rail in centered or offset positions to make it easier to move between different setups. |
TIP: 9000D comes with CORSAIR’s QuikTurn® fan screws for rapid fan installation. These screws will self-tap in one to two turns of a screwdriver. |
TIP: Only turn each screw slightly so you can slide the fans up and down to align them as you wish. |
NOTE: The side 360mm fan mounts are only usable with 120mm setups not utilizing the inner row of fans near the side mount or when using 140mm and 200mm fans. |
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR CASE FILTERS
TIP: Filters can be cleaned with pressurized air or water. If you rinse your filter, ensure filters are fully dry before reinstalling. |
TIP: The bottom filter pulls out from side at an angle, so you don’t have to move your case to get to the filters. The top and front slide laterally. |

CABLE MANAGEMENT TIPS
The 9000 Series includes various cable management features such as:
WIRING YOUR iCUE LINK CONTROLLER FOR DIGITAL RGB CONTROL
CONNECTING THE INCLUDED CONTROLLER TO PC
CONNECT THE iCUE LINK SYSTEM HUB TO USB AND POWER
CONNECT THE POWER CABLE
NOTE: Please note that the power cable (N) and your PSU's 6-pin PCIe cable are keyed to fit one orientation only. Failure to connect the power cable (N) will cause damage to the iCUE LINK System Hub. |

MOUNT SYSTEM HUB
iCUE SETUP/DEVICE SETUP
GETTING STARTED
Upon power on and iCUE launch, you should see the 9000D RGB AIRFLOW tile if everything is connected correctly and working as intended.
QUICK LIGHTING WITH iCUE MURALS
If your priority is getting your lighting setup quickly, by selecting a color palette from iCUE Murals iCUE will ‘paint’ across your devices and synchronize the color between them.
Play around with customizing this for some truly unique profiles including ones using video or photos as color sources.
You can tell which devices are included in Murals by the small circular swatch. If this swatch is shown, Murals will override individual product control.
LIGHTING SETUP
If you need to modify the geometry or set up of your 9000D RGB AIRFLOW, please select the Lighting Setup tab and either run the Setup Wizard or set your geometry manually using the drop down menus.
The 9000D RGB AIRFLOW should come configured as such out of the box and be pre-wired to work as soon as you connect power and data to the System Hub.
MANUALLY ASSIGNING GEOMETRY
Instead of using the wizard, you can use the drop down to the left of the Setup Wizard to accomplish the same thing and set your quantity and length of strips.
Through this menu you will be able to connect legacy and 3rd party devices such as QL fans using their included RGB Hub instead of the Lighting Node or your favorite +5V ARGB devices.
Support for Legacy Devices and Generic 3rd Party Devices will drop at a later date for this adapter. The Generic RGB Device selection will output 204 LEDs worth of instruction so you can leverage the full power of the adapter, but will not be individually addressable via the GUI like the geometry-determined devices.
LIGHTING EFFECTS
The Lighting Effects tab will allow you to control the color, animation, and speed of animation through its various settings.
You can control the RGB for the front center logo and the top USB/Front IO.
LIGHTING EFFECTS (DEVICE MEMORY MODE)
By clicking the slider under 9000D RGB AIRFLOW for Device Memory Mode, you can define your case’s hardware lighting mode that will display when there is no software/iCUE connection.
Any lighting setting made here will reflect in realtime, but will ONLY be displayed continuously when iCUE is closed or not running. If you would like to control the lighting or other customization for when iCUE is in direct software mode, please use the Lighting Settings menu without the Device Memory Mode button checked.
Device memory mode was previously referred to as hardware playback or hardware lighting.
DEVICE SETTINGS
When the iCUE LINK RGB Adapter is actively identifying as a 9000D, iCUE provides a couple additional settings under the device for troubleshooting and customization.
Firstly, you can change the color of the case in the tile to best match your build. Secondly, it will highlight how many LEDs were detected on the strip so you can ensure the full strip or length of lights for whichever device you have connected is detected.
WARRANTY STATEMENT
The CORSAIR 9000D RGB AIRFLOW cases have a 2-year warranty.
