4.3 Important Note for PCIe 3.0 Riser
The KXRORS S400 includes a premium PCIe 3.0 16X Riser Cable. Before using a 3.0 graphics card with this extension line, it is critical to set the PCIe speed of your motherboard BIOS to GEN3. Failure to do so may prevent your computer from functioning correctly.

5. Operating Instructions
Once all components are correctly installed and secured, connect your peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) and power cable to the case. Press the power button on the front I/O panel to start your system. The mesh design allows for direct viewing of internal components and RGB lighting, if installed.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your PC components.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean the mesh panels and internal components using compressed air to prevent dust buildup, which can hinder airflow and cooling efficiency.
- Cable Management: Ensure cables are neatly routed to maintain good airflow and prevent interference with fans.
- Component Checks: Occasionally check that all screws are tight and components are securely seated.
7. Troubleshooting
- System Not Booting:
- Verify all power connections (motherboard, CPU, GPU, storage).
- Ensure RAM modules are properly seated.
- Check PCIe BIOS Setting: If using a PCIe 3.0 graphics card with the riser cable, confirm that the motherboard BIOS PCIe speed is set to GEN3.
- Overheating Issues:
- Ensure all case fans and CPU cooler fans are spinning correctly.
- Clean dust from mesh panels and heatsinks.
- Verify proper application of thermal paste on the CPU.
- Front I/O Ports Not Working:
- Check that the USB 3.0 and Type-C headers are securely connected to the motherboard.
