• Indvendig rengøring: Use compressed air to remove dust from inside the chassis, especially from fans, heatsinks, and other components. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Udvendig rengøring: Tør de udvendige overflader af med en blød, damp klud. Undgå slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.

5. Fejlfinding

Dette afsnit omhandler almindelige problemer, du kan støde på med dit pc-kabinet.

5.1 Strømproblemer

• Systemet tænder ikke:
  • Sørg for, at alle strømkabler (24-bens ATX, 8-bens CPU, GPU-strøm) er korrekt tilsluttet til bundkortet og komponenterne.
  • Kontroller, at strømforsyningskontakten er i 'ON'-positionen.
  • Check that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's F_PANEL header.

5.2 D-RGB Lighting Issues

• D-RGB not lighting up or incorrect colors:
  • Ensure the D-RGB cables from the fans and LED strips are correctly connected to the integrated D-RGB controller.
  • If using motherboard synchronization, ensure the D-RGB controller is connected to the motherboard's D-RGB header and that the motherboard's lighting software is configured correctly.
  • Verify the D-RGB controller is receiving power (e.g., via SATA power connector).
  • Try cycling through modes and colors using the front I/O buttons to rule out software issues.

5.3 Fan Noise or Malfunction

• For meget støj fra ventilatoren:
  • Kontroller for støvopbygning på ventilatorbladene, og rengør dem om nødvendigt.
  • Sørg for, at ventilatorerne er sikkert monteret og ikke vibrerer mod kabinettet.
  • Verify fan speeds are controlled appropriately by the motherboard or fan controller.
• Ventilatoren drejer ikke:
  • Check fan power connections to the motherboard or fan hub.
  • Ensure fan headers are enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
