2. Carefully remove the tempered glass side panel by unscrewing the thumb screws at the rear and gently pulling the panel away. Set it aside on a soft, non-abrasive surface.
3. Remove the solid metal side panel on the opposite side to access the cable management area.

4.2 Installazione della scheda madre

1. Installare la schermatura I/O (se non è già fissata alla scheda madre) nell'apertura posteriore del case.
2. Align the motherboard with the standoffs in the case. Ensure the standoffs match your ATX motherboard's screw holes.
3. Fissare la scheda madre utilizzando le viti fornite. Non serrare eccessivamente.

4.3 Installazione dell'unità di alimentazione (PSU).

1. Locate the PSU compartment at the bottom rear of the case.
2. Slide the PSU into the compartment from the rear of the case, ensuring the fan faces downwards (if the case has a bottom vent) or upwards.
3. Fissare l'alimentatore con le viti dalla parte posteriore del case.

4.4 Installazione dell'unità di archiviazione (HDD/SSD)

The case features dedicated bays for 3.5" HDDs and 2.5" SSDs, typically located in the PSU shroud area or behind the motherboard tray.

1. For 3.5" HDDs: Slide the drive into the designated drive cage and secure with screws.
2. For 2.5" SSDs: Mount the SSD onto the designated brackets, usually found behind the motherboard tray, and secure with screws.

4.5 Installazione della scheda grafica e della scheda di espansione

1. Rimuovere le coperture degli slot di espansione necessari dalla parte posteriore del case.
2. Insert the graphics card or other expansion card into the appropriate PCIe slot on the motherboard.
3. Fissare la scheda con la vite o il meccanismo di chiusura in dotazione.

4.6 Gestione dei cavi

The Meshcore 36B offers 21mm of cable management space behind the motherboard tray.

1. Route all necessary cables (PSU, data, front panel) through the cutouts in the motherboard tray.
2. Use the included cable ties to bundle and secure cables, ensuring they do not obstruct airflow or interfere with side panel closure.
3. Connect the front panel connectors (USB 3.0, USB-C, audio, power/reset switches, LED indicators) to the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
4. Connect the ARGB fan hub to your motherboard's ARGB header (if available) for software control, or use the integrated controller for basic lighting effects. Ensure all fans are connected to the hub.

The pre-installed ARGB fans are connected to an ARGB hub. Lighting can be controlled in two ways:

• Controllo software della scheda madre: If the ARGB hub is connected to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard, you can use your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) to synchronize and customize lighting effects.
• Controllore integrato: If not connected to a motherboard ARGB header, the hub typically has a button (often labeled 'LED' or 'RGB') on the case's front I/O panel or directly on the hub itself to cycle through pre-set lighting modes and colors.

3. Reinstallare i filtri antipolvere.

6.2 Pulizia generale

• Utilizzare un morbido, damp cloth to wipe down exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Per il pannello in vetro temperato, utilizzare un detergente per vetri e un panno in microfibra per evitare aloni.
• Utilizzare periodicamente aria compressa per eliminare la polvere dai componenti interni e dalle pale della ventola.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your PC case, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

7.1 Fans Not Spinning / ARGB Not Lighting Up

• Controllare i collegamenti di alimentazione: Ensure all fans are properly connected to the ARGB hub, and the hub itself is receiving power from the PSU (usually via a SATA power connector).
• Check ARGB Signal: If using motherboard software control, verify the ARGB hub is connected to a 3-pin 5V ARGB header on the motherboard and that the software is correctly configured.
• Try Integrated Controller: If motherboard control fails, try using the physical button on the case or hub to cycle through lighting modes.

7.2 Front Panel USB/Audio Ports Not Working

• Verify Motherboard Connections: Ensure the USB 3.0, USB-C, and audio headers from the front panel are securely connected to the correct pins on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for header locations.
• Controlla i driver: Ensure you have installed the latest chipset and audio drivers for your motherboard.

7.3 Surriscaldamento del sistema

• Pulire i filtri antipolvere: Assicurarsi che i filtri antipolvere siano puliti e non ostruiscano il flusso d'aria.
• Check Fan Orientation: Verify that fans are installed with correct airflow direction (front fans typically intake, rear/top fans exhaust).
• Improve Cable Management: Poor cable management can restrict airflow. Re-route cables for better air circulation.
