4. Setup & Installation

Before starting, ensure you have a clean, static-free workspace. Refer to your component manuals for specific installation instructions.

4.1 Preparing the Case

1. Carefully remove the tempered glass side panels by unscrewing the thumb screws. Place them on a soft, flat surface to prevent scratches or damage.
2. Identify the accessory box inside the case, which contains all necessary screws and mounting hardware.

4.2 Motherboard Installation

1. Install the I/O shield (if not pre-attached to your motherboard) into the rear opening of the case.
2. Align your ATX, Micro ATX, or ITX motherboard with the standoffs inside the case. Ensure all standoffs match the screw holes on your motherboard.
3. Secure the motherboard with the appropriate screws from the accessory box.

4.3 Power Supply Unit (PSU) Installation

1. Slide the PSU into its designated compartment at the bottom rear of the case.
2. Secure the PSU with screws from the rear of the case.
3. Route PSU cables through the cable management cutouts to the motherboard and other components.

4.4 Storage Drive Installation (SSDs/HDDs)

• 2.5" SSDs: Mount SSDs to the dedicated SSD trays or mounting points as shown in Figure 4.
• 3.5" HDDs: Install HDDs into the removable hard disk holders located in the PSU shroud area. These holders can be removed to accommodate longer PSUs.

4.5 Graphics Card (GPU) Installation

1. Remove the necessary expansion slot covers at the rear of the case.
2. Insert your GPU into the appropriate PCIe slot on the motherboard.
3. Secure the GPU with screws. The case supports GPUs up to 380mm in length.

4.6 Connecting Front Panel I/O and ARGB Fans

1. Connect the front panel cables (Power SW, Reset SW, HDD LED, Power LED) to the corresponding pins on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for pin layout.
2. Connect the USB 3.0 cable to the USB 3.0 header on your motherboard.
3. Connect the USB 2.0 cables to the USB 2.0 headers on your motherboard.
4. Connect the HD Audio cable to the audio header on your motherboard.
5. The pre-installed ARGB fans are connected to a central controller. For motherboard ARGB control, connect the controller's 5V 3-PIN ARGB cable to your motherboard's 5V 3-PIN ARGB header. Do not connect to a 12V 4-PIN RGB header, as this can damage the fans.

4.7 Cable Management

Utilize the cable routing cutouts and tie-down points behind the motherboard tray to organize cables. This improves airflow and aesthetics.

5. Operation

5.1 Powering On

After all components are securely installed and cables connected, replace the side panels. Connect your power cable to the PSU and press the power button on the top I/O panel to start your system.

5.2 ARGB Fan Control

• Button Control: Use the dedicated LED button on the top I/O panel to cycle through 19 pre-set ARGB lighting modes.
• Motherboard Control: If the ARGB controller is connected to a 5V 3-PIN ARGB header on your motherboard, you can use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) to customize fan lighting. This offers a wider range of lighting effects.
• Remote Control: The included remote control provides additional options for changing lighting modes, colors, and fan speed.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your PC components.

• Dust Filter Cleaning: The case is equipped with a top magnetic dust filter and a bottom PSU dust filter. Regularly remove and clean these filters to prevent dust buildup inside the case, which can hinder airflow and component cooling.
• Interior Cleaning: Periodically open the side panels and use compressed air to remove dust from internal components and fans. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Tempered Glass Care: Clean tempered glass panels with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

Q: Fans are not lighting up or spinning.

A: Check all fan power connections to the ARGB controller and ensure the controller is receiving power from the PSU. If using motherboard control, verify the 5V 3-PIN ARGB cable is correctly connected and your motherboard's RGB software is configured.

Q: Front panel USB ports are not working.

A: Ensure the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 cables from the front panel are securely connected to the correct headers on your motherboard.

Q: Audio jacks on the front panel are not working.

A: Verify that the HD Audio cable from the front panel is correctly connected to the audio header on your motherboard.

Q: System does not power on.

A: Check that the PSU is switched on and properly connected to the wall outlet. Ensure the power button cable from the front panel is correctly connected to the motherboard's power switch pins. Verify all internal power connections (24-pin ATX, CPU, GPU, etc.) are secure.

Q: ARGB lighting is not syncing with my motherboard.

A: Confirm that your motherboard has a 5V 3-PIN ARGB header and that the controller is connected to it. This case is not compatible with 12V 4-PIN RGB headers for motherboard control. If connected correctly, ensure your motherboard's RGB software is installed and updated.
