To install the window side panel, first remove the existing panel by unscrewing the thumbscrews at the back. Align the tempered glass panel with the case's mounting points and secure it using the same thumbscrews. Ensure the panel fits snugly without any gaps.
Use a microfiber cloth with a gentle glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner on the cloth, not directly on the glass, to avoid streaks or moisture seeping into the case. Wipe the glass in a circular motion for a clear finish.
Ensure all components are securely fastened and consider using fan controllers to manage airflow efficiently. The tempered glass panel is designed to slightly dampen noise but balancing airflow and component placement will further minimize sound.
The window side panel does not interfere with the installation of additional case fans. However, ensure that fans are not placed directly against the panel to avoid vibration noise.
Always handle the panel with care, using both hands to avoid dropping it. Do not place heavy objects on the panel and store it vertically with protective padding when not in use.
Use a damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the area with fingerprints. For stubborn marks, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the cloth can help. Dry with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
