Setup Instructions
1. Assembling the Case
The case features a 3-layer structure for easy assembly and access. Begin by separating the top acrylic lid, the middle frame, and the bottom aluminum base.

2. Applying Heatsinks
Carefully apply the four aluminum heatsinks to the designated chips on your Raspberry Pi 4 board. Ensure proper contact for optimal heat dissipation. Refer to the Raspberry Pi 4 documentation for exact chip locations if unsure.

3. Installing the Cooling Fan
Mount the 35mm cooling fan onto the designated area on the top acrylic lid using the provided screws. Connect the fan's power cable to the appropriate GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi 4. The fan supports both 3V (silent mode) and 5V (high cooling mode) connections. For 5V operation, connect the red wire to the 5V pin and the black wire to a GND pin. For 3V operation, connect the red wire to the 3.3V pin and the black wire to a GND pin.

4. Securing the Raspberry Pi in the Case
Carefully place your Raspberry Pi 4 board (with heatsinks applied) into the middle frame of the case. Align the board with the screw holes and ports. Then, place the middle frame onto the bottom aluminum base and secure it with screws. Finally, attach the top acrylic lid (with the fan installed) to the middle frame, securing it with the remaining screws.
5. Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the provided 5V 3A USB-C power supply to the USB-C power input port on your Raspberry Pi 4. Plug the power adapter into a standard wall outlet. The power supply features an inline switch for convenient power control.

Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
Once the power supply is connected to the wall outlet and the Raspberry Pi, use the inline switch on the power cable to turn the device on or off. Always ensure proper shutdown procedures for your Raspberry Pi operating system before cutting power to prevent data corruption.
Accessing Ports and Slots
The Miuzei case is designed to provide full access to all Raspberry Pi 4 ports, including GPIO pins, camera port, display port, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, Ethernet, Micro HDMI, and the audio jack. The split design allows for easy access to GPIO and camera connections without fully disassembling the case.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the case and fan to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and cooling efficiency. Use a soft, dry cloth for the case and compressed air for the fan.
- Fan Check: Ensure the cooling fan is spinning freely and quietly. If it becomes noisy or stops spinning, check for obstructions or consider replacement.
- Heatsink Adhesion: Verify that the heatsinks remain firmly attached to the chips. If they become loose, reapply them to ensure proper thermal contact.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan not spinning | Incorrect wiring; insufficient power; fan malfunction. | Check fan wiring to GPIO pins (5V/3.3V and GND). Ensure power supply is connected. Replace fan if defective. |
| Raspberry Pi overheating | Heatsinks not properly applied; fan not working; poor airflow. | Ensure heatsinks are firmly attached. Verify fan operation. Clean dust from case and fan. |
| Power supply not working | Cable not fully inserted; wall outlet issue; power supply malfunction. | Check all connections. Try a different wall outlet. Test with another compatible USB-C power supply if available. |
| Difficulty accessing GPIO/Camera | Case not fully disassembled; incorrect alignment. | Utilize the split design by removing the top lid and middle frame for easier access. Ensure Raspberry Pi is correctly seated. |
