- Instalar placa base: Secure your motherboard to the standoffs using the provided screws.
- Instalar unidades de almacenamento: Mount 2.5" SSDs to the dedicated locations behind the motherboard tray or on the PSU shroud. Install 3.5" HDDs into the drive cages located under the PSU shroud.
- Instalar a fonte de alimentación (PSU): Slide the PSU into its designated compartment at the bottom rear of the chassis and secure it with screws.
- Instalar a tarxeta gráfica (GPU): Insert your graphics card into the PCIe slot on the motherboard. The chassis supports vertical GPU mounting with an optional bracket (PH-VGPUKT4.0_03).
- Install Cooling Components: The G360A supports various fan and radiator configurations.
- Soporte para fans: Front: 3x 120mm (3 pre-installed) or 2x 140mm; Top: 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm; Rear: 1x 120mm.
- Soporte de radiador: Front: Up to 360mm or 280mm; Top: Up to 360mm; Rear: 120mm. Note: Front and top 360mm radiators cannot be installed simultaneously.

- Xestión de cables Utilize the 36mm (1.4 in) cable management space behind the motherboard tray to route and secure cables for a clean build and improved airflow.
Instrucións de funcionamento
1. Front I/O Panel Functions
The front I/O panel provides convenient access to essential controls and ports:
- Botón de encendido: Activa ou desactiva o sistema.
- 2 portos USB 3.0: Para conectar dispositivos USB.
- Conector combinado de micrófono/auriculares: Para entrada e saída de son.
- D-RGB Mode Button: Cycles through pre-programmed lighting effects.
- D-RGB Color Button: Changes the color of the D-RGB lighting.

2. Digital-RGB Lighting Control
The Eclipse G360A features integrated D-RGB lighting with pre-installed 120mm D-RGB fans and an LED strip along the tempered glass panel. The lighting can be controlled in two ways:
- Control manual: Use the D-RGB Mode and Color buttons on the front I/O panel to cycle through various effects and colors without software.
- Sincronización da placa base: The D-RGB controller can be connected to a compatible motherboard's D-RGB header (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync, Razer Chroma). This allows for software control and synchronization with other D-RGB components in your system. Refer to your motherboard manual for D-RGB header location and software instructions.

Mantemento
1. Cleaning the Ultra-fine Performance Mesh
The front panel's ultra-fine mesh acts as a dust filter. To maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup, regularly clean the mesh:
- Gently detach the front panel.
- Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove accumulated dust from the mesh.
- Wipe the mesh with a slightly damp un pano se é necesario, asegurándose de que estea completamente seco antes de volvelo colocar.

2. General Chassis Cleaning
For general cleaning of the chassis exterior and interior:
- Asegúrese de que o sistema estea apagado e desenchufado.
- Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down exterior surfaces.
- For interior dust, use compressed air to blow dust out of components and the chassis.
- Limpa o panel de vidro temperado cun limpador de cristais e un pano suave.
Resolución de problemas
Problemas comúns e solucións
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| O sistema non se acende. | Loose power connections, faulty PSU, incorrect front panel header connection. | Check all power cables (24-pin, 8-pin CPU, GPU). Verify front panel power switch connection to motherboard. Test PSU if possible. |
| D-RGB lighting not working or incorrect. | Loose D-RGB cable connection, incorrect D-RGB header, software conflict. | Ensure D-RGB cables are securely connected. If using motherboard sync, verify connection to a 3-pin 5V D-RGB header (not 4-pin 12V RGB). Try manual control via case buttons. Reinstall or update motherboard RGB software. |
| Mala circulación do aire ou altas temperaturas. | Dust buildup, incorrect fan orientation, obstructed airflow. | Clean front mesh and other dust filters. Ensure fans are oriented correctly (intake/exhaust). Check for cable obstructions inside the case. |
| Front USB ports not functioning. | Loose USB 3.0 header cable connection to motherboard. | Verify the USB 3.0 cable from the front panel is securely connected to the motherboard's USB 3.0 header. |
