Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Power Train P60 M-ATX Portable Computer Case. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your new computer chassis. The P60 is designed for compact builds, supporting M-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, and features a portable design with a tempered glass side panel for showcasing your components.
Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary components and tools. Always handle components with care and follow anti-static precautions.
1. Opening the Case
The P60 features a tempered glass side panel. Carefully remove the side panel to access the internal components for installation.
2. Motherboard Installation
The P60 supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Install your motherboard onto the pre-installed standoffs. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
3. Power Supply Installation
The case supports both ATX and SFX power supplies. The power supply is mounted at the top of the chassis. For graphics cards exceeding 260mm in length, an SFX power supply is recommended to ensure adequate clearance.
4. CPU Cooler and Graphics Card Installation
- CPU Cooler: The maximum CPU cooler height supported is 168mm.
- Graphics Card: The maximum GPU length is 350mm if the front panel fan is unlocked. If a fan is locked on the front panel, the GPU length limit is 335mm.
5. Storage Drive Installation
The P60 offers multiple solutions for hard drives:
- One 3.5" HDD and two 2.5" SSDs.
- Alternatively, one 3.5" HDD and one 2.5" SSD with a bottom lock fan at the rear.
6. Fan Installation and Airflow
The chassis supports up to four 120mm fans for optimal cooling:
- Front: 1 x 120mm fan
- Rear: 1 x 120mm fan
- Bottom: 1 x 120mm fan
- Top: 1 x 120mm fan (requires a fan rack, not included)
The recommended airflow direction is bottom entry, rear exit, and top ejection for efficient heat dissipation.
7. Front Panel Connections
Connect the front panel cables to your motherboard. The P60 features:
- USB3.0 port
- Type-C port
- HDAUDIO (audio jack)
- Power button
Operating Instructions
Once all components are installed and connected, close the side panel. Connect your peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) and power cable. Press the power button on the front panel to start your computer.
Maintenance
Dust Prevention and Cleaning
The P60 features a fine hole design for dust prevention and heat dissipation. Regularly clean the exterior of the case with a soft, dry cloth. For the tempered glass panel, use a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Periodically, open the case and use compressed air to remove dust from internal components and fan filters to maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after assembly, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Double-check all power connections, including the 24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, and GPU power cables. Ensure the power supply switch is in the 'ON' position.
- No Display: Verify that your monitor is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard, unless using integrated graphics) and that the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input.
- Component Not Detected: Ensure all components (RAM, GPU, storage drives) are properly seated in their slots and all necessary cables are connected.
- Overheating: Confirm that all fans are spinning correctly and installed with the proper airflow direction. Ensure CPU cooler is properly mounted with thermal paste.
- Compatibility Issues: Refer to the specifications section to ensure all your components are within the size and power limits of the P60 case.
Note: The P60 chassis does not include cooling fans or other computer hardware. These must be purchased separately.
