1-Base; 2-Case Body; 3-Automation Cover; 4-Automation Screen; 5-Fan Adapter; 6-Fan Spacer; 7-Low-Profile

Cover; 8-Universal Mounting Base

-3- Enclosing the computer board

The design of MaticBox allows you to install Raspberry Pi 4 easily. If Raspberry Pi is already connected to power,

HDMI, USB or others, you do not need to disconnect the cables.

Place the computer board on the base. If the SD card is already inserted, make sure it goes through the provided

opening. Then carefully align and snap the case body on top. Please make sure to use the enclosure on flat

surfaces, which will keep the ventilation slots at the bottom of the base unobstructed.

-4- Adding a 25*25mm fan using the fan adapter

MaticBox supports 25*25mm fans with heights from 5mm to 10mm.

Snap the provided fan support adapter onto the body and then slide the fan into the adapter pins.

The picture shows adapter orientation for Raspberry Pi boards. Use the provided fan spacer in case the fan is too low

and interferes with the processor heatsink.

-5- Adding a 25*25mm fan directly into the case body Most fans can also be attached directly into the case body. Just click the fan into the space above the board’s processor. Note that this option leaves enough space for an add-on board above the fan. This is applicable when there is a hat or automation board on top. -6- Low Profile Cover: Use the low-profile cover to achieve a minimum overall height. It still provides space for a thin add-on board and a fan.

-9- Stacking MaticBox enclosures MaticBox enclosures can be stacked vertically to help you host a cluster of single board computers. Simply remove the cover on one of the boxes and snap the bottom of the other box in its place. It is that easy! Note that this still provides a space for 25 mm standard fans or blower (centrifugal) fans and then will still be effective at cooling the cluster.

-13- Attaching the universal mounting base to a DIN rail Universal mounting base can be easily attached to a 35mm DIN rail found in equipment racks. Attach the side away from the pin (1) first and then press the other side to snap it into place. To release the base, pull on the pin (1) first. -14- Attaching the universal mounting base using zip ties Universal mounting base also comes with slots that can be used to attach it to other objects, such as pipes and poles, using zip ties.
