3. Secure the card with the provided screw or retention clip.

3.7 Connecting Front Panel I/O

Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.0, HD Audio, Power Switch, Reset Switch, Power LED, HDD LED) to the corresponding headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for exact header locations.

3.8 Cable Management

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

5. Maintenance

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

5.1 Cleaning

• Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the tempered glass, use a glass cleaner applied to a cloth, not directly to the panel.
• Dust Filters: The case may include removable dust filters (e.g., on the top or bottom). Periodically remove and clean these filters with compressed air or by washing them with water and allowing them to dry completely before reinstallation.
• Interior: Use compressed air to remove dust from inside the case, especially from fans, heatsinks, and other components. Perform this cleaning in a well-ventilated area.

5.2 Airflow Optimization

Ensure that fans are installed in a way that promotes good airflow (e.g., front intake, rear/top exhaust). Keep the area around your PC clear to allow for unrestricted air circulation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• System does not power on:
  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the PSU switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Verify that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard header.
  • Confirm all internal power cables (24-pin ATX, CPU, GPU) are securely seated.
• Fans are not spinning:
  • Check if the fan cables are properly connected to the motherboard fan headers or a fan controller.
  • Ensure the PSU is providing power.
• Front panel USB ports not working:
  • Verify that the USB 3.0 cable from the front panel is correctly connected to the corresponding header on your motherboard.
• Audio jacks not working:
  • Ensure the HD Audio cable from the front panel is correctly connected to the HD Audio header on your motherboard.
