3. Gently flip the box upside down and pull upwards in a slow rocking motion
4. Remove foam pads and plastic bag from the computer and place your computer on its feet. If you have a graphics card, you may continue to step five. If not, you are ready to proceed to the first time setup.
5. With the front of the computer facing you, remove the left side panel by unscrewing the two large thumbscrews located on the back of the computer or four large thumbscrews on the front of the tempered glass side panels. Once you have done so, carefully remove the side panel.
6. Gently remove the padding inside, pulling it forward in a slow rocking motion. Make sure the packaging material is not grabbing any of the internal components before completely removing it.
7. Put the side panel back into place and screw the thumbscrews into the proper holes.
8. Proceed to first time setup.
Note: MassaTech recommends keeping all of your original shipping boxes included with the PC. If your PC needs to be shipped back for warranty services, the original shipping boxes are the safest way to securely package your computer. Replacement boxes can be purchased for $39.
First Time Setup
For a PDF of the instructions click here.
1. Locate the power cord for your computer in your black MassaTech accessories box and plug your computer in. Make sure the switch on the rear of the computer is set to the I and not the O.
Note: If you have a system with Massa Tundra Custom Liquid Cooling please follow the filling Massa Tundra instructions before proceeding with the steps below.
2. Connect your monitor, mouse and keyboard to your PC. If your computer includes a graphics card, please make sure you are plugging your monitor into the horizontal ports on your graphics card, and not the vertical ports on your motherboard. Graphics card ports will be located below the ports on the motherboard in most cases. If you can not find a graphics card port which your monitor cable fits into, you may need an adapter, that will be provided in the black MassaTech accessories box.
3. If you selected a wireless network adapter, the antennas may not have been installed before shipping. Please check the back of your PC to verify whether they have been installed. If not, you will find the antennas in your MassaTech accessories box.
Filling Massa Tundra
For a PDF of the instructions click here.
1. Locate the liquid coolant reservoir in your PC. This will usually be mounted toward the front of the case and will look like a clear tube.
2. Remove the cap located at the top of the reservoir by twisting it counterclockwise using a coin. In some cases the reservoir top will not be accessible. In that situation there should be a long tube with a plug on the end. Continue with the below instructions while filling the PC through this tube instead.
3. Insert a tube into the reservoir opening and place a funnel into the other end of the tube. This will help you with pouring the coolant into the reservoir.
4. Pour the liquid coolant slowly into the funnel until the reservoir is half full. Keep the funnel and tube in place, as you will need to continue filling your PC in the next step
5. Plug in your PC and power it on. As the pump begins pushing the coolant through the tubes, continue to slowly pour coolant into the reservoir until it is almost full.
6. It is normal for air bubbles to be present in the system after filling the reservoir. These will clear on their own as the pump continues pushing liquid through the tubes. Once all the air bubbles have cleared, you may need to fill the reservoir with coolant one last time.
7. Screw the cap back onto the reservoir, you are now ready to continue with step 2 of the first time setup.

General PC Maintenance
Keep Vents Clear. It is best to place your computer in a well-ventilated area with at least an inch of space on all sides to ensure proper airflow. Avoid placing items or clothing on top or against your computer. Blocked vents can quickly lead to hot components.
Remove Dust. It’s highly recommended that you keep your PC as dust free as possible. Blowing out the fans and vents on your PC once a month with canned air is generally a very simple and cost-effective way of keeping your PC clean and dust free. Remember, extra heat can hurt your computer’s overall performance and longevity.
Massa Tundra Maintenance
The liquid in Massa Tundra liquid cooling should be replaced every 6 months. Additional liquid can be purchased by clicking on one of the coolant bottles below:
Note: If you are unsure of how to drain your Massa Tundra Custom Liquid Cooling please do not hesitate to give us a call at 1-608-415-5097 for assistance.
1. Turn off the PC.
2. Locate the drain on the PC. It is often a tube leading from the reservoir with a plug on the end of it or a ball valve.
3. Remove the cap on the drain tube or or open the ball valve on the drain over a bucket. The liquid should start to flow out. To increase the rate of flow open the fill port on the reservoir with a coin so that air can displace the liquid that is draining out. The PC may need to be tilted to remove most of the liquid.
4. Once the liquid is mostly removed you may close up the loop and dispose of the liquid.
5. To fill the loop back up simply follow the Filling Massa Tundra instructions located above.
