5.2. Motherboard Installation

1. Install the I/O shield into the motherboard tray opening from the inside of the case.
2. Align your ATX or M-ATX motherboard with the pre-installed standoffs. Ensure the screw holes on the motherboard match the standoffs.
3. Secure the motherboard with the provided screws from the accessory kit.

5.3. Power Supply Unit (PSU) Installation

1. Locate the PSU mounting area, typically at the bottom rear of the case.
2. Slide your PSU (maximum length 200mm) into the designated bay.
3. Secure the PSU with screws from the outside rear of the case.

5.4. Storage Drive Installation (HDD/SSD)

The case supports up to 2 HDDs and 1 SSD, or 1 HDD and 2 SSDs.

1. Identify the drive bays or mounting brackets for 3.5" HDDs and 2.5" SSDs.

5.7. Connecting I/O Panel Cables

Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Type-C, HD Audio, Power SW, Reset SW, Power LED, HDD LED) to their corresponding headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for exact pin configurations.

5.8. Fan and Cooling System Configuration

The pre-installed ARGB+PWM fans are connected to a controller. Connect the controller to your motherboard's ARGB (3-pin 5V) and PWM (4-pin) headers for software control, or use the included remote for manual control.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Powering On

After all components are installed and cables connected, replace the side panels. Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cable. Press the power button on the top I/O panel to start your system.

6.2. ARGB Lighting Control

• Motherboard Software Control: If the ARGB controller is connected to your motherboard's ARGB header, you can control lighting effects and synchronization using your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).
• Remote Control: Use the included remote control to cycle through various lighting modes, adjust brightness, change colors, and modify fan speeds.

6.3. Fan Speed Control

• Motherboard Software Control: If the PWM controller is connected to your motherboard's PWM header, fan speeds can be adjusted via your motherboard's fan control software or BIOS settings.
• Remote Control: The remote control also allows for manual adjustment of fan speeds.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning Dust Filters

Regularly clean the dust filters to maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance. The top panel features a dust filter net.

1. Power off your PC and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Carefully remove the dust filters (e.g., from the top panel).
3. Clean the filters using compressed air, a soft brush, or by rinsing with water (ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation).
4. Reinstall the dust filters.

7.2. General Cleaning

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the case. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For internal cleaning, use compressed air to remove dust from components and fans.

8. Troubleshooting

• PC Does Not Power On:
  • Ensure the power supply is switched on and connected to a working power outlet.
  • Verify all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU power) are securely connected to the motherboard and components.
  • Check that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard header.
• Fans Not Spinning / ARGB Not Lighting Up:
  • Ensure the fan controller is receiving power from the PSU.
  • Verify the ARGB and PWM cables from the controller are correctly connected to the motherboard or that the remote control has working batteries.
  • Check connections between fans and the controller.
• No Display Output:
  • Ensure your monitor is connected to the graphics card (GPU) and not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports.
  • Reseat the graphics card in its PCIe slot.
  • Check all power connections to the graphics card.
• Overheating Issues:
  • Ensure all fans are spinning correctly and are oriented for proper airflow (intake/exhaust).
  • Clean dust filters and internal components regularly.
  • Verify CPU cooler and GPU cooler are properly installed.
