1. Installazione della scheda madre:
   • Installare la schermatura I/O nell'apertura posteriore del case.
   • Align your ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard with the pre-installed standoffs. Ensure all screw holes align.
   • Fissare la scheda madre con le viti fornite.
2. Installazione dell'alimentatore (PSU):
   • The DS900 supports ATX PSUs up to 200mm in length.
   • Install the PSU into its dedicated compartment at the bottom rear of the case, typically from the rear.
   • Fissare l'alimentatore con le viti.
3. Installazione dell'unità di archiviazione:
   • The case supports 2x 3.5" HDDs and 2x 2.5" SSDs.
   • Locate the drive cages/mounts. For 3.5" HDDs, slide them into the drive cage and secure with screws. For 2.5" SSDs, mount them to the designated trays or locations.
4. Installazione della scheda grafica (GPU):
   • The DS900 supports GPUs up to 400mm in length.
   • Rimuovere le coperture degli slot PCIe necessari dalla parte posteriore del case.
   • Insert your graphics card into the appropriate PCIe slot on the motherboard and secure it with a screw or latch.
5. Cooling System Installation (Fans/Radiators):

     • Front: 3x 120mm/140mm fans or 240/280/360mm radiator
     • Top: 3x 120mm/140mm fans or 240/280/360mm radiator
     • Posteriore: 1 ventola da 120 mm
     • Bottom: 2x 120mm fans
   • Install your chosen fans or radiators in their respective locations, securing them with screws.
   • Ensure proper airflow direction (intake/exhaust).

3.3 Cable Management and Front I/O Connections

1. Gestione dei cavi: Utilize the cable routing cutouts and tie-down points behind the motherboard tray to organize and secure cables. This improves airflow and aesthetics.
2. Connessioni I/O frontali: Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HD Audio, Power Switch, Reset Switch, Power LED, HDD LED) to their corresponding headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for exact pin layouts.

3.4 Assemblaggio finale

1. Once all components are installed and cables are managed, reattach the steel side panel and then the tempered glass side panel.
2. Assicurarsi che tutte le viti siano serrate saldamente.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione

Press the power button located on the front I/O panel to turn on your computer.

4.2 Controllo dell'illuminazione ARGB

The DS900 supports Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting. If your motherboard has a 5V 3-pin ARGB header, you can connect the case's ARGB cables to it and control the lighting effects via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). If your motherboard does not have an ARGB header, an external ARGB controller (not included) may be required for lighting control.

4.3 Porte I/O frontali

Il pannello I/O frontale fornisce un comodo accesso a:

• 1x porta USB 3.0
• 2 porte USB 2.0
• Audio HD (jack per cuffie e microfono)
• Pulsante di accensione
• Pulsante di reset

5. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare aiuta a garantire prestazioni ottimali e longevità dei componenti del PC.

5.1 Filtri antipolvere

The DS900 is equipped with removable dust filters on the top and bottom. Periodically remove and clean these filters to prevent dust buildup inside the case, which can hinder airflow and component cooling.

• Estrarre delicatamente i filtri.
• Clean them with a soft brush or rinse with water (ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation).

5.2 Tempered Glass Panels

Clean the tempered glass panels with a microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the glass or coatings.

5.3 Pulizia degli interni

Occasionally, use compressed air to blow out dust from inside the case, especially around fans, heatsinks, and other components. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Ecco alcuni problemi comuni e possibili soluzioni:

• Il PC non si accende:
  • Check if the PSU is properly connected to the wall outlet and switched on.
  • Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, PCIe power) are securely connected to the motherboard and components.
  • Verificare che il cavo dell'interruttore di alimentazione del pannello frontale sia collegato correttamente al connettore della scheda madre.
• Fans are not spinning:
  • Check if fan cables are securely connected to the motherboard fan headers or a fan controller.
  • Ensure the PSU is providing power.
• ARGB lighting is not working:
  • Verify the ARGB cable is correctly connected to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard (not a 12V 4-pin RGB header).
  • Ensure your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
  • If using an external controller, check its power and connections.
• USB ports not functioning:
  • Check if the front panel USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 cables are correctly connected to their respective headers on the motherboard.

7. Specifiche

8. Suggerimenti per l'utente

• Ottimizza il flusso d'aria: With support for multiple fans, consider a balanced intake and exhaust fan configuration for optimal cooling performance. Typically, front and bottom fans as intake, and top and rear fans as exhaust.
• Gestione dei cavi: Take your time with cable management behind the motherboard tray. This not only improves aesthetics but also prevents cables from obstructing airflow.
• Sincronizzazione ARGB: If your motherboard supports ARGB sync, connect the case's ARGB cables to the motherboard's 5V 3-pin header to synchronize lighting effects across your system.
• Pulizia del filtro antipolvere: Regularly clean the magnetic dust filters to maintain good airflow and keep the interior dust-free.
