How to install an optical drive in GD05 with NT06-E?

The TS03 supports slim optical drive to reduce the depth required in the 5.25” optical drive bay. It can increase the space for CPU cooler in the GD05. The limitations of installing NT06-E into the GD05 are as follow：

Horizontal orientation of CPU cooler on the motherboard.

The distance from CPU to motherboard edge.
55.5mm<x<68mm
69.5mm<y<89mm
Vertical orientation of CPU cooler on the motherboard.

The distance from CPU to motherboard edge.
59.5mm<x<96.5mm
98mm<y<117.5mm

The above limitations apply only if graphics card is installed in the first expansion slot and with rear 80mm fans installed.
If fans are removed, y distance decreases by 25mm
If graphics card is installed in the second expansion slot, the x distance increases by 20mm

Installation guide

Install the NT06-E on the motherboard.
Insert a slim optical drive into the TS03.
Install the motherboard into the chassis.
Install and secure the TS03 in the 5.25” drive bay.
Connect the wires and cables to the TS03.
Install a 120mm fan over the NT06-E as needed.
