2. Digital-RGB Lighting Control
The Eclipse G360A features integrated D-RGB lighting with pre-installed 120mm D-RGB fans and an LED strip along the tempered glass panel. The lighting can be controlled in two ways:
- Manual Control: Use the D-RGB Mode and Color buttons on the front I/O panel to cycle through various effects and colors without software.
- Kubatana kweMotherboard: The D-RGB controller can be connected to a compatible motherboard's D-RGB header (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync, Razer Chroma). This allows for software control and synchronization with other D-RGB components in your system. Refer to your motherboard manual for D-RGB header location and software instructions.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Ultra-fine Performance Mesh
The front panel's ultra-fine mesh acts as a dust filter. To maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup, regularly clean the mesh:
- Gently detach the front panel.
- Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove accumulated dust from the mesh.
- Wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before reattaching.

2. General Chassis Cleaning
For general cleaning of the chassis exterior and interior:
- Ita shuwa kuti system yakadzimwa uye haina plug.
- Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down exterior surfaces.
- For interior dust, use compressed air to blow dust out of components and the chassis.
- Clean the tempered glass panel with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Matambudziko Anowanikwa uye Mhinduro
| Nyaya | Zvinogona Kukonzera | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sisitimu haibatike. | Loose power connections, faulty PSU, incorrect front panel header connection. | Check all power cables (24-pin, 8-pin CPU, GPU). Verify front panel power switch connection to motherboard. Test PSU if possible. |
| D-RGB lighting not working or incorrect. | Loose D-RGB cable connection, incorrect D-RGB header, software conflict. | Ensure D-RGB cables are securely connected. If using motherboard sync, verify connection to a 3-pin 5V D-RGB header (not 4-pin 12V RGB). Try manual control via case buttons. Reinstall or update motherboard RGB software. |
| Poor airflow or high temperatures. | Dust buildup, incorrect fan orientation, obstructed airflow. | Clean front mesh and other dust filters. Ensure fans are oriented correctly (intake/exhaust). Check for cable obstructions inside the case. |
| Front USB ports not functioning. | Loose USB 3.0 header cable connection to motherboard. | Verify the USB 3.0 cable from the front panel is securely connected to the motherboard's USB 3.0 header. |
