4. Техникалык тейлөө

4.1 Чаң чыпкасын тазалоо

The ATHENA M4M WOOD is equipped with dust filters on the top, front, bottom, and side panels to prevent dust accumulation. Regular cleaning of these filters is crucial for maintaining optimal airflow and cooling performance.

1. Carefully remove the dust filters from their respective locations.
2. Clean the filters using compressed air, a soft brush, or by rinsing them with water (ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation).
3. Reinstall the dust filters securely.

4.2 Жалпы тазалоо

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the case. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish, especially the walnut front panel and tempered glass.

5. Кыйынчылыктарды

• Difficulty connecting front USB 3.0/3.2 cables: The front USB 3.0/3.2 Gen2 Type-C connectors can be challenging to connect due to cable length and angle. Consider using a 90-degree adapter if you encounter difficulty.
• PSU Fitment Issues: Some larger PSUs (e.g., over 150mm in length) or specific models might have tight fitment due to the front-mounted design. Verify PSU dimensions before installation. If issues persist, ensure the PSU shroud is not obstructing.
• Top Plate Not Sitting Flush: If the top plate does not sit flush, gently check for any obstructions or misalignments. Avoid forcing it, as this may damage the metal.
• Fan Control Limitations: The included fan hub may not allow individual fan speed control via software. Fan speeds might be regulated by the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings based on temperature curves.
• SSD Placement and SATA Power Cables: Ensure that standard SATA power cables can reach and connect properly to SSDs, especially if using daisy-chained cables, as placement might be tight.
