Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Setting up the MasterFrame 500 Mesh involves assembling the exo-structure and attaching the desired panels. Motherboard installation is straightforward, supporting various form factors from Mini-ITX to E-ATX. Components can be mounted tool-free, with dedicated bays for 2.5" and 3.5" drives. Ensure the GPU support bracket is installed if using a heavy graphics card. Fan and radiator mounting points are clearly marked, allowing for flexible cooling configurations.

Care:
Due to the open-frame design, regular cleaning is recommended to prevent dust buildup. Use a soft, dry cloth or compressed air to gently remove dust from the frame, panels, and fan blades. For stubborn dust on mesh panels, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring it is completely dry before reassembling or powering on the system. Check and clean anti-dust filters if applicable.
