How to use

To assemble the system, remove the chassis cover to access the internal components. Install a compatible AMD Socket AM5 processor into the socket, insert the DDR5 memory modules into the SO-DIMM slots, and mount your chosen M.2 or 2.5-inch SATA storage drives. Once the hardware is installed, secure the chassis cover and connect your peripherals, including a monitor via the available video outputs, a keyboard, and a mouse. Finally, install your preferred operating system via a USB drive to begin using the computer.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have compatible AMD AM5 processors, DDR5 memory, and storage drives.
• Verify that your monitor supports the available video output interfaces.
• Consider the thermal requirements of the processor you intend to install.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and system stability, ensure that the BIOS is updated to the latest version provided by the manufacturer. Use high-quality DDR5 memory modules and ensure proper ventilation around the 1.92L chassis to maintain efficient operating temperatures during heavy workloads.
