5. Operating Instructions
Once all components are correctly installed and secured, and all cables are connected:
- Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals to your computer.
- Plug the power cable into the PSU and then into a wall outlet.
- Press the power button on the front panel of the case to start your computer.
- To power off, use the operating system's shutdown function. A short press of the power button can also initiate a soft shutdown (configurable in OS settings), while a long press (5-10 seconds) will force a hard shutdown.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your JONSBO T7 PC case and its components.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the case, especially from the mesh panels and fan filters. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
- Fan Filters: The case includes magnetic mesh filters for the front and top. Remove and clean these filters regularly to maintain good airflow.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum and wood surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Cable Management: Ensure internal cables are neatly managed to prevent obstruction of airflow and to facilitate future component upgrades or maintenance.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PC build within the JONSBO T7 case, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Ensure the PSU is switched on, the power cable is securely connected, and the front panel power button cable is correctly attached to the motherboard.
- No Display: Verify that your GPU is properly seated in its PCIe slot and that the monitor cable is connected to the GPU (not the motherboard integrated graphics, unless intended).
- Overheating: Check that all fans are spinning correctly and are oriented for optimal airflow. Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed and making good contact. Clean any dust buildup from filters and internal components.
- Component Not Detected: Re-seat the component (e.g., RAM, GPU, storage drive) and check its power and data connections.
- Front Panel I/O Issues: Confirm that the front panel cables are correctly connected to the motherboard headers.
For more specific issues, consult the manuals for your individual components (motherboard, GPU, PSU, etc.) or seek assistance from a qualified technician.
