2.2 Namestitev matične plošče

1. Ensure the correct standoffs are installed for your motherboard form factor (ATX, Micro ATX).
2. Matično ploščo previdno namestite v ohišje in jo poravnajte z distančniki in odprtino za zaščito V/I.
3. Matično ploščo pritrdite s priloženimi vijaki.
4. For reverse-layout motherboards, refer to your motherboard's manual for specific installation guidance.

2.3 Namestitev napajalne enote (PSU).

1. The PSU slot can be adjusted to two different locations for optimized cable management. Choose the desired position.
2. Mount the PSU into its designated bay, typically at the bottom rear of the case.
3. Napajalnik pritrdite z vijaki na zadnji strani ohišja.

2.4 Cooling System Installation (Fans & Radiators)

1. The case comes with four pre-installed 140mm fans (three bottom intake, one rear exhaust).
2. Additional fans (up to two 160mm and seven 140mm total) can be installed on the top, side, and bottom mounts.
3. Radiators up to 360mm can be mounted on the top and side positions.
4. Connect all fan cables to the included 10-port ARGB PWM hub, then connect the hub to your motherboard's fan and ARGB headers.

2.5 Namestitev grafične kartice (GPU)

1. Z zadnje strani ohišja odstranite potrebne pokrove rež PCIe.
2. Insert your GPU into the PCIe slot on the motherboard and secure it with screws.
3. Utilize the built-in GPU sag bracket to support heavier graphics cards. This bracket is adjustable vertically and horizontally.

2.6 Upravljanje kablov

• Route cables through the designated cutouts and channels behind the motherboard tray.
• Use the included Velcro straps and cable ties to secure cables neatly.
• The modular PSU and HDD trays also aid in managing cables effectively.

Understanding the operational aspects of your APNX V2 ATX Case.

3.1 Vklop

• Ensure all components are correctly installed and connected.
• Connect the power cable to your PSU and a wall outlet.
• Pritisnite gumb za vklop, ki se nahaja na sprednji V/I plošči.

3.2 Airflow Management (X-Pand Flow)

The X-Pand Flow design optimizes cooling by separating airflow paths for the GPU and PSU. The pre-installed bottom fans act as intake, directing cool air directly to the GPU, while the rear fan exhausts hot air. Additional fans can be configured to further enhance this airflow.

3.3 Nadzor osvetlitve ARGB

The included 10-port ARGB PWM hub allows for centralized control of your case fans' speed and ARGB lighting. Connect the hub to your motherboard's ARGB header and use your motherboard's software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) to customize lighting effects and fan curves.

4. Vzdrževanje

Regular maintenance helps preserve the performance and appearance of your PC case.

4.1 Čiščenje filtra za prah

• The APNX V2 case features removable dust filters, typically located at the bottom (under the PSU and intake fans).
• Gently slide out the dust filters.
• Filtre očistite s stisnjenim zrakom ali jih sperite z vodo. Pred ponovno namestitvijo se prepričajte, da so popolnoma suhi.
• Regular cleaning (e.g., monthly) is recommended to maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup.

4.2 Tempered Glass Panel Cleaning

• Use a soft, microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the tempered glass panels.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
• Ensure the panels are dry before reattaching them to the case.

5. Odpravljanje težav

Pogoste težave in njihove možne rešitve.

5.1 Ventilatorji se ne vrtijo ali pa ARGB ne sveti

• Preverite povezave: Ensure all fans are securely connected to the ARGB PWM hub. Verify the hub is connected to both a SATA power connector from the PSU and the appropriate fan/ARGB headers on the motherboard.
• Programska oprema matične plošče: Confirm that your motherboard's fan control and ARGB software is installed and configured correctly.
• Cikel moči: Turn off your PC, unplug it from the wall, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in and restart.

5.2 High Component Temperatures

• Nabiranje prahu: Očistite vse filtre za prah in notranje komponente, kot je opisano v poglavju Vzdrževanje.
• Konfiguracija ventilatorja: Ensure fans are installed with correct airflow direction (intake/exhaust). The bottom fans should be intake, and the rear fan exhaust.
• Upravljanje kablov: Poor cable management can obstruct airflow. Re-route cables to minimize obstruction.
• Component Clearance: Verify that large components (e.g., CPU cooler, GPU) are not obstructing critical airflow paths.

5.3 Sprednja vhodno/izhodna vrata ne delujejo

• Notranje povezave: Check that the front I/O cables (USB, audio, power/reset switches) are correctly connected to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
• Namestitev gonilnika: Ensure all necessary motherboard drivers, especially for USB controllers, are installed.
