3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Raspberry Pi 5 with the Miuzei case and active cooler.

3.1. Prepare the Case Components

The acrylic case may come with protective films on both sides of each panel. Carefully peel off these films before assembly. Separate the acrylic layers and identify the top, bottom, and side panels.

3.2. Install the Raspberry Pi 5 Board

Place your Raspberry Pi 5 board onto the bottom acrylic panel, aligning the mounting holes. Secure it using the provided screws and standoffs. Ensure the board is seated correctly and all ports align with the case cutouts.

3.3. Install the Official Active Cooler

The official active cooler is designed for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure the thermal pads are correctly positioned on the cooler's heatsink. Gently press the cooler onto the Raspberry Pi 5's CPU, aligning the mounting pins. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the dedicated fan header on the Raspberry Pi 5 board. This allows the operating system to control the fan speed based on CPU temperature.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Powering On/Off

Once the power supply is connected, the Raspberry Pi 5 will typically power on automatically. To safely shut down the system, use the operating system's shutdown function. The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a dedicated power button accessible through the case.

4.2. Active Cooler Operation

The active cooler's fan is controlled by the Raspberry Pi 5's operating system. It will automatically adjust its speed to maintain optimal CPU temperatures, ensuring efficient cooling during various workloads.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning the Case

To clean the transparent acrylic case, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic. For stubborn dust, a soft brush or compressed air can be used.

5.2. Fan Inspection

Periodically inspect the active cooler's fan for dust accumulation. Excessive dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. If necessary, gently clean the fan blades with a soft brush or compressed air while the Raspberry Pi is powered off.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Overheating Issues

If your Raspberry Pi 5 experiences high temperatures, ensure the active cooler is properly installed and its fan cable is securely connected to the board. Verify that there is adequate airflow around the case and that the fan is not obstructed by dust.

6.2. Power Supply Problems

If the Raspberry Pi 5 does not power on, check that the 27W USB-C power adapter is correctly plugged into both the wall outlet and the Raspberry Pi 5's power port. Ensure the power outlet is functional.

6.3. Port Access Issues

If you encounter difficulty accessing any ports, re-check the case assembly to ensure all acrylic layers are correctly aligned and secured. Incorrect assembly can obstruct port access.
