5. Instrukcja obsługi

5.1. Włączanie i wyłączanie

The Argon ONE V5 case includes an ON/OFF button for convenient power management. Ensure your Raspberry Pi OS is configured to support safe shutdown via GPIO commands for optimal use of this feature.

• Włączanie: Press the ON/OFF button once to power on the Raspberry Pi 5.
• Wyłączone: A short press of the ON/OFF button can initiate a safe shutdown (requires software configuration). A long press (typically 5-10 seconds) will force a power off.

5.2. Działanie układu chłodzenia

The Argon ONE V5 features both passive and active cooling mechanisms.

• Chłodzenie pasywne: The casted aluminum body of the case acts as a large heatsink, passively dissipating heat from the Raspberry Pi 5's CPU.
• Active Cooling (30mm PWM Fan): The built-in 30mm PWM fan is controlled by the Raspberry Pi 5 and can be configured via software to activate at specific temperature thresholds, providing additional cooling during high-load operations.
