3.3 Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Case: Carefully remove the tempered glass panels. Lay the case on its side on a stable, flat surface.
2. Install Motherboard: Install the necessary standoffs for your motherboard form factor. Gently place your motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws.
3. Install Power Supply Unit (PSU): Mount your PSU into its designated compartment (top mount). Secure it with screws from the rear of the case. Route necessary cables through the cable management cutouts.
4. Install Storage Devices: Locate the drive bays for 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs. Secure your storage devices using the provided screws or tool-less mechanisms.
5. Install Graphics Card (GPU) and Expansion Cards: Remove the necessary PCIe slot covers. Insert your graphics card and any other expansion cards into their respective slots on the motherboard and secure them.
6. Connect Cables: Connect all power cables from the PSU to your motherboard, GPU, and storage devices. Connect the front panel I/O cables (USB, audio, power/reset buttons, LEDs) to the appropriate headers on your motherboard. Ensure all pre-installed fan cables and ARGB cables are connected to the fan control boxes and then to the motherboard or PSU as required.
7. Cable Management: Utilize the cable routing channels and tie-down points behind the motherboard tray to organize and secure cables. This improves airflow and aesthetics.
8. Reinstall Panels: Once all components are installed and cables are managed, carefully reattach the tempered glass panels.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On

After completing the installation, connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cable to the PSU. Press the power button located on the top I/O panel of the case to start your system.

4.2 ARGB Fan Control

The Elysium II comes with pre-installed ARGB fans and two Galaxy II fan control boxes. You can control the lighting effects and fan speeds using the included remote control. Refer to the Galaxy II fan control box manual for detailed instructions on changing modes, colors, and brightness. The reset button on the top I/O panel may also cycle through ARGB modes if connected to the controller's reset header.

5. Maintenance

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

• Dust Filters: The Elysium II case is equipped with removable dust filters. Periodically remove and clean these filters (e.g., with compressed air or by washing with water and drying thoroughly) to prevent dust buildup inside the case, which can impede airflow and cooling.
• Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces, including the tempered glass panels. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Interior Cleaning: With the system powered off and unplugged, use compressed air to remove dust from internal components, especially fan blades and heatsinks.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PC case, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power:
  • Ensure the PSU is properly connected to the wall outlet and the power switch on the PSU is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the 24-pin ATX power cable and 8-pin CPU power cable are securely connected to the motherboard.
  • Check that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel header.
• Fans Not Spinning / RGB Not Lighting Up:
  • Confirm that all fans are properly connected to the fan control boxes.
  • Ensure the fan control boxes are receiving power from the PSU (usually via SATA power connector).
  • Check that the ARGB cables from the control boxes are connected to the motherboard's ARGB header (if applicable) or that the remote control is functioning and has fresh batteries.
• Front USB Ports Not Working:
  • Verify that the USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and USB Type-C cables from the front panel are securely connected to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
• No Audio from Front Jack:
  • Ensure the HD Audio cable from the front panel is correctly connected to the audio header on your motherboard.
