Configuració i instal·lació
1. Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully remove the chassis from its packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Tempered Glass Side Panel Removal
To access the interior, unscrew the four thumb screws securing the tempered glass side panel. Gently pull the panel away from the chassis and set it aside on a soft, flat surface to prevent scratches.
3. Instal·lació de la placa base
The FARA B1 supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Ensure the standoffs align with your motherboard's mounting holes. Install the I/O shield into the rear opening of the chassis. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws.

4. Instal·lació de la unitat d'emmagatzematge
The chassis supports one 3.5" drive and four 2.5" drives.
- Disc dur de 3.5 polzades: Locate the drive cage beneath the PSU shroud. Slide the 3.5" HDD into the drive tray and secure it with screws.
- SSD de 2.5 polzades: Mount 2.5" SSDs to the dedicated mounting points behind the motherboard tray or on top of the PSU shroud. Secure with screws.

5. Instal·lació de la font d'alimentació
Install the ATX power supply into the dedicated compartment at the bottom rear of the chassis. Secure it with screws from the rear of the case.
6. Instal·lació de la targeta gràfica i la targeta d'expansió
Remove the necessary PCIe slot covers from the rear of the chassis. Insert your graphics card or other expansion cards into the motherboard's PCIe slots and secure them with screws.
7. Fan and Cooling System Installation
The FARA B1 supports multiple cooling options, including up to four 140mm fans or five 120mm fans. Install fans in the front, top, and rear positions as desired. Ensure proper airflow direction for optimal cooling.
8. Gestió de cables
Aprofita els retalls de cables i els punts d'amarratge que hi ha darrere de la safata de la placa base per gestionar els cables. Això millora la circulació del flux i l'estètica.
9. Connexions d'E/S frontals
Connect the front panel cables (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HD Audio, Power, Reset, LED indicators) to the corresponding headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific header locations.

Instruccions de funcionament
1. Encès / apagat
Press the power button located on the top I/O panel to turn your system on or off. A short press typically initiates a soft shutdown, while a long press (several seconds) forces a hard shutdown.
2. Using Front Panel Ports
The front I/O panel provides convenient access to USB 3.0, USB 2.0 ports, and a combined 3.5mm audio jack for headphones or headsets with a microphone. Ensure all necessary drivers are installed for proper functionality.
