6. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the case. For dust accumulation inside, use compressed air to gently clear vents and components. Ensure the PC is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Airflow: The case features perforated panels for airflow. Ensure these vents are not obstructed to maintain proper cooling.
• Material: The case body is made of 0.8mm SPCC alloy steel. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after assembly, consider the following:

• System Not Powering On: Double-check all power connections, including the power supply to the wall outlet, the power supply to the motherboard, and the front panel power button cable to the motherboard header.
• Components Not Fitting: Verify that all components, especially the motherboard (Micro ATX, DTX, ITX), power supply (FLEX-Small 1U), graphics card (Half-Height), and CPU cooler (63mm-73mm height), adhere to the case's compatibility specifications.
