Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: position the tower vertically in a well-ventilated area, connect your display to one of the HDMI ports, and attach the included wired keyboard and mouse. Since the system does not come with an OS installed, you will need to prepare a bootable USB drive with your preferred operating system. For care, ensure the air vents on the sides and back remain unobstructed to keep the 180W power system cool. Periodically dust the intake vents with compressed air to maintain optimal airflow. As the case is compact, always check for clearance before adding any internal upgrades to the PCI Express slots.
