Setup and Component Installation

Follow these general steps for installing components into your COUGAR OmnyX PC case. Always refer to your individual component manuals for specific installation details.

1. Prepare the Case: Carefully remove the tempered glass panels and any other removable panels to gain access to the interior.
2. Install the Power Supply (PSU): Mount your power supply in the designated compartment at the bottom of the case. Utilize the integrated base compartment for routing PSU cables.
3. Install the Motherboard: Secure your ATX motherboard to the standoffs on the motherboard tray. The OmnyX supports reverse connector motherboards for alternative cable routing.
4. Install Storage Drives: Mount your SSDs and HDDs in the available drive bays.
5. Install the Graphics Card (GPU): Insert your graphics card into the appropriate PCIe slot. The case supports vertical GPU mounting, which naturally aligns the GPU with gravity.
6. Connect Cables: Route all power and data cables through the cable management channels. The zero-visibility cable management system helps keep cables tidy and out of sight.
7. Connect Front I/O: Connect the front panel connectors (USB, audio, power button) to your motherboard. The sliding rail system allows for flexible positioning of the I/O module.
8. Reassemble Panels: Once all components are installed and cables are managed, reattach the tempered glass panels and other removable covers.

• USB Ports: Utilize the USB ports on the front I/O panel for connecting peripherals and external devices.
• Audio Jacks: Connect your headphones or microphone to the dedicated audio jacks on the front I/O panel.
• Fan Control: The pre-installed 160mm PWM fans can be controlled via your motherboard's fan headers and software, allowing you to adjust fan speeds for optimal cooling and noise levels.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your PC case.

• Dust Filters: The OmnyX case features magnetic dust filter panels. Regularly remove and clean these filters to prevent dust buildup and maintain efficient airflow.
• Interior Cleaning: Periodically open the case and use compressed air to remove dust from internal components and fan blades. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

Troubleshooting

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

• No Power: Ensure all power cables are securely connected to the power supply, motherboard, and components. Verify the power supply switch is in the 'On' position.
• Fans Not Spinning: Check that fan cables are correctly connected to the motherboard or fan controller. Ensure fan control software settings are configured properly.
• Overheating: Verify that all fans are operating correctly and are not obstructed. Clean dust filters and ensure proper airflow within the case. Check component temperatures using monitoring software.
• Component Fit Issues: Double-check that all components are installed according to their respective manuals and the case's specifications (e.g., GPU length, radiator size).
• Front I/O Not Working: Ensure the front panel connectors are correctly plugged into the motherboard headers.
