Connect your monitor using HDMI, DisplayPort (DP), or both, directly to the ports on the dedicated graphics card (highlighted in the image). Avoid connecting to the motherboard’s integrated graphics ports, as these are disabled when a dedicated graphics card is installed. This ensures optimal display performance and compatibility.
Insert the included power cable securely into the power supply unit (PSU), as shown in the image below. Once connected, switch on the power supply using the toggle switch located near the cable input. For the best results and safety, avoid using power strips or extension cords; instead, plug the cable directly into a wall outlet.

Insert the power cable into the socket (see the red arrow on the left), and then plug the other end into the wall outlet. Next, switch the power supply to 'On' (toggle switch shown with the red arrow on the right).
Press the power button located on the top of the case and wait for your PC to power up. Observe the fans spinning and the RGB lights activating, ensuring all RGB fans are syncing their colors correctly. Take a moment to inspect the interior through the tempered glass panel for any loose or disconnected cables that may have shifted during shipping. If everything is set up correctly, your monitor should display the boot screen. Ensure your monitor is set to auto-select the input source or manually select the correct input for your connected cable.
