4. Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Yoqanr ATX Open Frame PC Test Bench. An assembly video is provided for visual guidance.
Video 4.1: Assembly guide for the Yoqanr ATX Open Frame PC Test Bench. This video demonstrates the step-by-step process of constructing the frame and installing key components.
4.1. Frame Assembly
- Prepare Components: Unpack all aluminum profiles and hardware. Identify the longer base profiles and shorter vertical support profiles.
- Assemble Base: Attach the shorter vertical support profiles to the longer base profiles using the provided screws and T-nuts. Ensure they are securely fastened to form the base structure.
- Attach Vertical Uprights: Connect the main vertical uprights to the assembled base. These will form the primary structure for mounting the motherboard and other components.
- Install Crossbars: Secure the horizontal crossbars between the vertical uprights. These provide rigidity and mounting points.
- Mount Handle: Attach the handle to the top crossbar for easy portability.

4.2. Component Installation
- Motherboard Installation: Install the motherboard standoffs onto the frame at the appropriate positions for your ATX, Micro ATX, or Mini ITX motherboard. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws.
- Power Supply Installation: Mount the ATX power supply using the designated fixture. If using an SFX power supply, replace the standard fixture with the SFX power supply fixture.
- Graphics Card Installation: Attach the metal graphics card fixed bracket. The graphics card can be installed either upward or downward. The design accommodates various graphics card lengths.
- Storage Drive Installation: Install up to two hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) using the universal mounting points.
- Water Cooling Installation: The test bench supports 120mm, 240mm, or 360mm water cooling radiators. Mount the radiator and fans using the appropriate brackets. Water cooling can be installed on the front, side, or back, or both sides.
- Optical Drive Installation: If required, install an optical drive in the designated slot.

5. Operating Instructions
Once all components are securely installed and connected, follow these steps to operate your PC test bench:
- Connect Peripherals: Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other necessary peripherals to the motherboard's I/O ports or graphics card.
- Connect Power: Plug the power supply unit (PSU) into a wall outlet. Ensure the PSU switch is in the "ON" position.
- Power On: Press the metal blue lamp power on key located on the test bench. The system should initiate the boot process.
- System Testing: Monitor component temperatures and performance during initial boot-up and under load to ensure stability.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your test bench and its components.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the aluminum frame and components with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dust, use compressed air. Avoid liquid cleaners directly on electronic components.
- Cable Management: Keep cables tidy to improve airflow and prevent accidental disconnections.
- Screw Check: Occasionally check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight.
- Component Inspection: Inspect fans, radiators, and other components for dust buildup or signs of wear.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during assembly or operation.
- System Does Not Power On:
- Ensure the power supply is connected to a working outlet and its switch is ON.
- Verify all power cables (24-pin ATX, CPU, GPU) are securely connected to the motherboard and components.
- Check the connection of the power on key to the motherboard's front panel headers.
- No Display Output:
- Confirm the monitor is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard's integrated graphics, unless no discrete GPU is present).
- Reseat the graphics card in its PCIe slot.
- Check that the graphics card has adequate power from the PSU.
- Motherboard Mounting Issues:
- Ensure correct standoffs are used for your motherboard form factor (ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX).
- If holes do not align perfectly, slight adjustments may be needed, or ensure you are using the correct mounting points for your specific board.
- Loose Components:
- Double-check all screws and connections. The open frame design requires secure fastening of all parts.
