2. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary components and tools. Refer to your motherboard and component manuals for specific installation steps.
2.1 Preparing the Case
- Carefully unbox the PC case and remove all packaging materials.
- Place the case on a stable, flat surface.
- Remove the side panels to access the interior. Typically, these are secured with thumbscrews at the rear.
2.2 Motherboard Installation
- Install the I/O shield into the designated opening at the rear of the case.
- Align your ATX, M-ATX, or ITX motherboard with the standoffs inside the case. Ensure all standoffs match the screw holes on your motherboard.
- Secure the motherboard using the provided screws.
2.3 Component Installation
- Power Supply Unit (PSU): Install the PSU into its dedicated compartment, usually at the bottom rear of the case. Secure it with screws.
- Storage Drives: Install 2.5-inch SSDs or 3.5-inch HDDs into the designated drive bays. The REV-05 offers ample storage potential.
- Graphics Card (GPU): Install your graphics card into the appropriate PCIe slot on your motherboard. The case supports both vertical and horizontal mounting options for the GPU.
- Cooling Fans: The case comes with pre-installed fans. Ensure all fan cables are properly connected. Note that the pre-installed fans may be daisy-chained by Molex connectors, requiring direct connection to the power supply instead of the motherboard for power.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PC case and its components.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust filters (if present) and the interior of the case using compressed air or a soft brush. Pay attention to fan blades and heatsinks.
- Cable Management Check: Ensure cables remain neatly organized and do not obstruct airflow.
- Fan Inspection: Check fans for any unusual noises or reduced performance. Ensure they are spinning freely.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
- PC Not Powering On:
- Ensure the PSU is switched on and properly connected to the wall outlet.
- Verify that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel header.
- Check all internal power connections (24-pin ATX, CPU power, GPU power).
- Fans Not Spinning / RGB Not Working:
- Confirm that fan power cables are securely connected. For pre-installed fans, check if they are connected via Molex directly to the PSU, as some models require this.
- If RGB is not working, ensure the RGB controller (if present) is powered and connected correctly. Some RGB systems require software control or a dedicated button on the case.
- If fans are daisy-chained, ensure the primary connection point is secure.
- No Display Output:
- Ensure your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card (GPU) output, not the motherboard's integrated graphics port (unless you are using integrated graphics).
- Reseat the graphics card in its PCIe slot.
- Check the graphics card's power connections.
