14. Connect Front Panel Cables: Connect the front panel connectors (USB, audio, power, reset, LED control) to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.

Operating Instructions

Once all components are installed and the case is closed, you can begin operating your PC.

Front Panel Controls:

• Power Button: Press to power on or off your system.
• LED Control Button: Press to cycle through various ARGB lighting modes for the pre-installed fans. Hold to turn off the lighting.
• USB 3.0 Ports: For high-speed data transfer. Note: USB ports are primarily for data transfer and not recommended for power-charging, as most motherboards USB ports support a maximum voltage of 5V.
• Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Port: For fast data transfer with compatible devices.
• Audio Jacks: For connecting headphones and microphones.

Maintenance

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

• Dust Filters: The case features a 1.2mm fine steel mesh design for dust resistance. Periodically clean the mesh panels to maintain optimal airflow.
• Fan Cleaning: Use compressed air to clean dust from the fan blades and heatsinks.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces, including the tempered glass panels, with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Okinos Aqua 7 PC case, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Fans running at full speed: Ensure the fan controller's PWM connector is plugged into the PWM header on your motherboard, not the PUMP header.
• ARGB lighting not working: Check all ARGB connections to the fan hub and ensure the hub is properly connected to the motherboard's ARGB header (if applicable) or powered correctly. Use the LED control button on the front panel to cycle modes.
• USB ports not functioning: Verify that the USB 3.0 and Type-C cables from the front panel are securely connected to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
• No power: Confirm that the power supply is correctly installed and connected, and that the front panel power switch cable is properly connected to the motherboard.
