2. Veiligheidsinligting

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in product damage, personal injury, or voiding of the warranty.

• Maak seker dat jou rekenaarstelsel afgeskakel en uit die muurprop ontkoppel is voordat jy met die installasie begin.
• Discharge any static electricity from your body before handling internal components.
• Handle the PCIe riser cable and GPU with care to avoid damage to connectors.
• Do not force components into place. If a component does not fit, recheck compatibility and alignment.
• Hou klein onderdele en gereedskap weg van kinders.
• GPUs with an overclocking button may conflict with the adjustable structure of the GPU support bracket. Remove the overclocking button prior to installation to avoid interference.
• GPUs equipped with three full-size DisplayPorts may contact the slot when the mount is installed at a slight angle.
• Ensure both ends of the riser cable are securely connected to the GPU and motherboard while the system is powered off. Improper installation may cause electrical short circuits or hardware damage.

4. Opstelling en installering

This section guides you through the installation process of the Lian Li VG4v4 Vertical GPU Kit.

4.1 Verenigbaarheidstoets

• Kasversoenbaarheid: The kit is designed for ATX compatible cases. It requires at least 6 PCIe slots for standard vertical mounting and 7 slots for tilted configurations.
• GPU Size: The bracket accommodates GPUs up to 4 slots thick.
• Moederbordversoenbaarheid: Ensure your motherboard is ATX or E-ATX compatible. For E-ATX motherboards, an extension arm for anti-sag support may be required.
• BIOS-opdatering: Ensure your motherboard's BIOS is updated to the latest version to maintain full compatibility with PCIe 5.0.

4.2 Preparing Your PC Case

1. Skakel jou rekenaar af en ontkoppel alle kabels.
2. Open your PC case and remove any existing horizontal GPU.
3. Remove the necessary PCIe slot covers from the rear of your case to accommodate the vertical GPU mount.

4.3 Installing the Vertical GPU Kit

1. Attach the GPU to the Bracket: Carefully align your GPU with the PCIe slot on the vertical GPU bracket. Press the GPU downward until the side latch automatically locks into the PCIe slot.
2. Beveilig die GPU: Use the provided screws to secure the GPU to the bracket.
3. Install the Bracket into the Case: Position the assembled GPU and bracket into your PC case. The bracket is designed to be installed using the screws already included with your case (typically PCIe-E bracket screws and up to four PSU-type screws).
4. Connect the Riser Cable: Connect the PCIe 5.0 riser cable from the vertical GPU bracket to the appropriate PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard. Ensure both ends are securely connected.

4.4 Installing the Anti-Sag Support Arm

1. Attach the anti-sag support arm to a motherboard standoff.
2. Adjust the height of the support arm to firmly support the GPU, preventing sag.
3. For E-ATX motherboards, use the provided extension arm if necessary for proper alignment and clearance.

5. Bediening en Aanpassings

The VG4v4 kit offers several adjustment options to optimize GPU positioning and aesthetics.

5.1 Hoogteverstelling

The bracket provides three mounting heights, each adjustable in 10.16mm increments with a simple one-screw adjustment. This allows for precise GPU positioning and clearance for bottom-mounted fans or larger CPU coolers.

• Vlak 1: Lowers the GPU to enhance visibility of AIO liquid coolers with built-in displays.
• Level 2 or 3: Adjusting to these levels improves compatibility with bottom-mounted fans or radiators.

5.2 Dual-Angle Tilt Function

Each height level supports forward, neutral, and backward display angles. Dedicated mounting holes on the support arm allow for quick, precise, and tool-free adjustments.

• Voorwaartse kantel: Improves airflow, allowing cooler air to enter and warm air to exit more efficiently, enhancing thermal performance. Also boosts airflow and thermal efficiency, ensuring better clearance for high-performance coolers.
• Agtertoe kantel: Showcases the graphics card with a more refined and visually appealing angle.
