Removing the Front Panel:

1. Reach your hand under the bottom of the front panel.
2. Pull firmly. The panel is designed to snap off without breaking.

Removing the Tempered Glass Side Panel:

1. Once the front panel is removed, the glass panel protrudes slightly.
2. Grasp the top, right edge of the glass panel. Use your other hand to stabilize the opposite side.
3. Pull the top edge of the panel away from the case. Apply firm but steady pressure.
4. Carefully lift the glass panel upwards and out. Note that pegs at the bottom are inserted into the frame; avoid excessive outward force to prevent bending.

The other side panel (solid metal) can be removed in a similar fashion by pulling from the top edge.

6.2. Motherboard Installation

The SAMA V Mesh supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Install the necessary standoffs before mounting your motherboard.

7. Operating Instructions

7.1. Power On/Off

Press the Power button on the front I/O panel to turn your system on or off. A short press typically initiates power on or sleep mode, while a long press (usually 4-5 seconds) forces a shutdown.

7.2. LED Control

Use the dedicated LED control button on the front I/O panel to cycle through various ARGB lighting modes and colors for the pre-installed fans. Refer to your motherboard's software for advanced synchronization options if connected to an ARGB header.

• Press LED button: Switch color and lighting mode.
• Hold LED button for 6 seconds: Turn off LEDs (White Flash twice).
• Hold LED button for 3 seconds: Sync with the motherboard (White Flash once).

8. Maintenance

8.1. Cleaning Dust Filters

The top and bottom panels feature magnetic dust filters. Regularly remove and clean these filters to maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup inside the case.

1. Gently lift the magnetic filter from the top or bottom of the case.
2. Clean the filter using compressed air or by rinsing with water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
3. Place the filter back onto the case; the magnets will secure it in place.

8.2. General Cleaning

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the case. For the tempered glass, use a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

9. Troubleshooting

• Fans not spinning or RGB not lighting up: Ensure all fan and ARGB cables are securely connected to the fan hub and the hub is powered (SATA power). If connected directly to the motherboard, check motherboard headers and software settings.
• Front I/O ports not working: Verify that all front panel cables (USB 3.0, Type-C, HD Audio, Power, Reset, LED) are correctly connected to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
• Difficulty with cable management: Utilize the provided cable ties and Velcro straps. Plan your cable routing before securing components. The case offers 33mm of space behind the motherboard tray for routing.
• Tempered glass panel feels stuck: Ensure the front panel is removed first, as it allows the glass panel to protrude slightly for easier removal. Apply firm, even pressure from the top edge.
