2.3 그래픽 카드(VGA) 설치
The case offers three flexible ways to install your graphics card:
- Floating GPU: Utilizes a floating bracket for a unique display.
- Up Right: Standard vertical installation.
- Up Right Forward: Vertical installation with the card facing forward.
For vertical installations, a PCIe 4.0 riser cable (sold separately) may be required, especially for the 'Floating GPU' and 'Up Right Forward' configurations.

4. 유지관리
정기적인 유지관리는 PC 구성 요소의 최적의 성능과 수명을 보장하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
4.1 먼지 필터 청소
The CTE E550 TG is equipped with fine removable dust filters at the top, bottom, and right side of the chassis. These filters prevent dust accumulation inside the case and are easily removable for cleaning.
- Gently remove the dust filters from their respective locations.
- 압축 공기, 부드러운 브러시 또는 물로 헹궈 필터를 청소하십시오(재설치하기 전에 완전히 건조되었는지 확인하십시오).
- Reinstall the clean dust filters.

4.2 강화유리 세척
Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the tempered glass panels. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the glass or coatings.
5. 문제 해결
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during or after building your system.
5.1 시스템 전원이 켜지지 않음
- 전원 공급 장치(PSU)가 벽면 콘센트에 제대로 연결되어 있고 PSU 스위치가 '켜짐' 위치에 있는지 확인하십시오.
- Verify all power cables from the PSU are correctly connected to the motherboard, CPU, and graphics card.
- 전면 패널 전원 스위치 케이블이 마더보드의 전면 패널 헤더에 올바르게 연결되어 있는지 확인하십시오.
- Due to the top-mounted I/O panel, ensure the power button is not accidentally pressed or obstructed.
5.2 Insufficient Cable Length for Peripherals
- The motherboard's rear I/O ports are oriented upwards in this chassis. You may require longer cables or extension cables for peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, mice, and network connections.
- Consider using KVM switches or USB hubs with longer integrated cables if multiple extensions are needed.
5.3 Graphics Card Thermal Performance Issues
- If using a vertically mounted GPU, especially in the 'Floating GPU' orientation, some graphics card cooling apparatuses may not perform optimally.
- 구매를 고려하세요asing a high-quality PCIe riser cable if you experience higher-than-expected GPU temperatures in vertical configurations.
5.4 손상되었거나 누락된 부품
- If any parts, such as tempered glass panels, arrive scratched or damaged, contact Thermaltake customer support immediately for assistance.
