3. Configurazione e installazione dei componenti

3.1 Preparazione

1. Unpack the PC case from its packaging.
2. Remove the tempered glass side panel by unscrewing the thumb screws at the rear and carefully sliding it off. Place it on a soft, flat surface to prevent scratches.
3. Remove the solid steel side panel by unscrewing the thumb screws at the rear and sliding it backward.
4. Gather necessary tools: Phillips head screwdriver, cable ties (some included in accessory box).

3.2 Installazione della scheda madre

1. Identify the correct standoff locations for your motherboard form factor (ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX). Install any necessary additional standoffs from the accessory box.
2. Installare la schermatura I/O nell'apertura posteriore del case.
3. Posizionare con attenzione la scheda madre sui distanziatori, allineando i fori delle viti.
4. Fissare la scheda madre con le viti fornite. Non serrare eccessivamente.

3.3 Installazione dell'unità di alimentazione (PSU).

1. Position the PSU into the dedicated compartment at the bottom rear of the case.
2. Ensure the PSU fan faces downwards (if the case has a bottom vent) or upwards (if no bottom vent).
3. Secure the PSU to the rear of the case with the provided screws.

3.4 Installazione dell'unità di archiviazione

The AX65 supports both 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs.

• SSD da 2.5": Mount SSDs to the dedicated brackets behind the motherboard tray or on the PSU shroud. Secure with screws.
• HDD da 3.5": Install HDDs into the drive cage located under the PSU shroud. Slide the drive into the tray and secure it.

3.5 Installazione della scheda di espansione (ad esempio, GPU)

1. Rimuovere le coperture degli slot PCI-E necessari dalla parte posteriore del case.
2. Align your expansion card with the PCI-E slot on the motherboard.
3. Premere con decisione finché la scheda non è posizionata correttamente.
4. Secure the card with the provided screw.

3.6 Gestione dei cavi

Utilizzare i fori per il passaggio dei cavi e i punti di fissaggio dietro il vassoio della scheda madre per organizzare i cavi. Questo migliora il flusso d'aria e l'estetica.

3.7 Fan and Cooling Setup

The AX65 comes with three 120mm ARGB fans pre-installed at the front and one 120mm ARGB fan at the rear.

• Collegamenti della ventola: Connect the 3-pin ARGB fan cables to your motherboard's ARGB headers or a compatible ARGB controller. Connect the fan power cables to available fan headers on your motherboard or a fan hub.
• Supporto per il raffreddamento a liquido: The front panel supports radiators up to 360mm. The top panel supports up to two 120mm or 140mm fans, or a 240mm radiator.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione

After all components are installed and cables are connected, replace the side panels. Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cable. Flip the switch on your PSU to the 'ON' position, then press the power button on the case's top I/O panel.

4.2 Controllo dell'illuminazione ARGB

The pre-installed ARGB fans can be controlled via your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) if connected to a compatible 3-pin 5V ARGB header. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific software instructions.

4.3 Pannello I/O frontale

The convenient top I/O panel provides easy access to essential ports and controls:

• Pulsante di accensione
• Pulsante di reset
• Porta USB 3.0
• Porte USB 2.0 (x2)
• Presa per cuffie
• Microfono Jack

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia del filtro antipolvere

Regular cleaning of dust filters is crucial for maintaining optimal airflow and cooling performance.

• Filtro magnetico superiore: Gently lift and remove the magnetic dust filter from the top panel. Clean it with a soft brush or rinse with water (ensure it is completely dry before reattaching).
• Bottom Pull-out Filter: Slide out the dust filter located at the bottom of the case (under the PSU). Clean it similarly to the top filter.

5.2 Pulizia generale

Utilizzare un morbido, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the case. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For internal cleaning, use compressed air to remove dust from components and fan blades.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

In caso di problemi, fare riferimento ai seguenti passaggi comuni per la risoluzione dei problemi:

• Nessun potere: Ensure the PSU is switched on, the power cable is securely connected, and all internal power cables (24-pin, CPU, GPU) are properly seated. Check front panel power button connections to the motherboard.
• Le ventole non girano/ARGB non si accende: Verify fan power cables are connected to motherboard headers or a fan hub. Ensure ARGB cables are connected to a 3-pin 5V ARGB header and controlled via software. Check for loose connections.
• Surriscaldamento: Ensure all fans are spinning correctly and oriented for proper airflow. Clean dust filters. Verify CPU cooler and GPU cooler are properly installed.
• Componenti sciolti: If experiencing intermittent issues, re-seat RAM, GPU, and other expansion cards. Check all cable connections.

For persistent issues, consult your component manuals or contact Antec customer support.
