Operating Instructions

Powering On

Once all components are installed and connected, ensure the power supply switch is in the 'ON' position. Press the power button on the front I/O panel to start your system.

RGB Lighting Control

The pre-installed Kolink Umbra X fans feature ARGB lighting. The case includes a built-in controller with a SATA power input. Connect this controller to your power supply. If your motherboard does not support ARGB control, you can typically manage the lighting effects using the reset button on the front I/O panel, which often doubles as an RGB mode switch when connected to the case's controller.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your PC components.

• Dust Filters: The Kolink Unity Arena case is equipped with dust filters. Periodically remove and clean these filters (e.g., top, front, bottom) to prevent dust buildup inside the case. Use compressed air or wash them gently with water and allow them to dry completely before reinstallation.
• Interior Cleaning: With the system powered off and unplugged, carefully open the side panels and use compressed air to remove dust from internal components, especially heatsinks and fan blades.
• Fan Cleaning: Gently clean the blades of the pre-installed fans with a soft brush or compressed air to maintain efficient airflow.

Troubleshooting

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

• System Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Verify the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Check all power connections to the motherboard (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) and GPU.
  • Confirm the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard header.
• Fans Not Spinning / RGB Not Working:
  • Check fan power connections to the motherboard or fan controller.
  • Ensure ARGB cables are properly connected to the motherboard's ARGB header or the case's integrated controller.
  • If using the case's controller, verify it is receiving SATA power.
• No Display Output:
  • Ensure your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard's integrated graphics port (unless you are using integrated graphics).
  • Reseat the graphics card in its PCIe slot.
  • Check GPU power connections.
