2. Select the Argon ONE V3 Power Button Management Mode:
   ARGON ONE V3 / M.2 NVMe PCIe CASE JUMPER PIN SETTING** JUMPER PIN SETTING| MODE| BEHAVIOUR**
   ---|---|---

Pin 1-2

| Default Setting (Mode1)| You need to PRESS button to Power ON from shutdown or power outage.

Pin2-3

|

Always ON

(Mode2)

|

Power current will flow directly to Raspberry Pi. NO need to PRESS button to power ON from power outage

  * DEFAULT SETTINGS: Pin 1-2 or No Pin![Argon-40-Technologies-AR1-V3-Argon-ONE-V3-Case-M-2-NVMe-PCIe-Case-FIG-4](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Argon-40-Technologies-AR1-V3-Argon-ONE-V3-Case-M-2-NVMe-PCIe-Case-FIG-4.png)

3. Connect the PCle Pipe Flat Flex Cable to the Raspberry Pi® 5 PCIE port.
4. Connect the Argon BLSTR DAC Board to the pins of the Argon ONE V3 RP2040-Fan Board.
   • Argon BLSTR DAC is needed to activate the 3.5mm Audio Port.
5. Carefully connect Raspberry Pi9 5 HDMI-Power assembly to the female GPIO and 6-pln Power port of the Argon ONE V3 case.
6. Secure flat head screws to fasten Raspberry Pi 5 and HDMI-Power Board assembly to top case.
7. Fasten the bottom cover of the Argon ONE V3 / M.2 NVMe PCIe using the round head screws.
8. Connect your M.2 NVMe Drive to the Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVMe PCIe Expansion Board. This Board will accept M.2 Key M and M.2 Key B+M NVMe Storage Drive.

INSTALL ARGON ONE V3 POWER BUTTON AND FAN CONTROL SCRIPT

STEP 1: Configure the EE PROM Setting to optimize power and boot from NVMe.

1. Connect to the Internet, make sure Raspberry Pi TI me is updated and execute in the Terminal.
   • curl https://download.argon40.com/argon-eeprom.sh|bash
2. Reboot.

STEP 2: Install the Argon Control Script and Config.txt Settings

1. Connect to the Internet and execute in the Terminal.
   • curl https://download.argon40.com/argonl.sh|bash
2. Reboot.

UNINSTALL

To uninstall the Argon ONE V3 script you may do so by clicking the Argon ONE V3 Desktop Icon.
You may also remove the script via Tenninal Shell by typing:

• argonone-uninstall

Always reboot after changing any configuration or uninstallation for the revised settings to take effect.

AUTOMATED SETTINGS IN ARGON ONE V3 SCRIPT

The ARGON ONE Script automates the installation of all the libraries, programs and EEPROM and Config settings necessary for the RP204O in the Argon ONE V3 Case to be able to communicate with the Raspberry Pl 5 and perform the various functions like Active Cooling and Power Management.

Below are the SETTINGS that were automated by the Argon ONE Script.

usb_max_current_enable=1
Argon ONE V3

M . 2 NVME PCIE

| BOOT ORDER=Oxf416 PCIE_PROBE=1| dtparam=nvme
dtparam=pciex1_1=gen3
Argon BLSTRDAC|  | dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus,slave

DEFAULT ARGON ONE V3 POWER BUTTON AND FAN SETTINGS

Upon installation of the Argon ONE V3 script by default, the settings of the Argon ONE V3 Power button and cooling system are as follows:

CPU TEMP|
---|---
55C| 30%
60C| 55%
65C| 100%

However, you may change or configure the FAN to your desired settings by clicking the Argon ONE V3 Desktop icon.

Or via Teminal Shell by typing and following the specified format:

• argon-config

CONFIGURE ARGON BLSTR DAC FOR RASPBERRY PIOS

1. Make sure you have installed the Argon Configuration Script into your by running in the Terminal Shell:
   • curl https://download.argon40.com/argonl.sh|bash
2. To enter the Argon Configuration Tool type argon-config in the Terminal Shell. Enter number 3 to install Argon BLSTR DAC Configuration.
3. Once installed you will be able to see this.
4. If you want to configure manually the ARGON BLSTR DAC just add the setting in the config file located at /boot/flnnware/config.txt
   • dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus,slave
5. Then Reboot.

SET UP BUILT-IN INFRARED RECEIVER

The latest version has a programmable Infrared Receiver installed that can turn ON and OFF the device using the proprietary Argon 40 IR Remote.
To configure the Infrared Receiver ON/OFF signal of Argon ONE V3 type in the Terminal Shell:

• argonone-ir

Then follow the instructions as indicated.

RECOMMENDED IR REMOTE & POWER SUPPLY

ARGON ONE V3 BASIC HARDWARE TEST AND UPDATE FIRMWARE

ARGON ONE V3 BASIC HARDWARE TEST

1. Connect the Internal USB-C socket on the RP2040-Fan Board to a 5V Power Supply.
2. Press the Power ON Button.
3. This would initiate the internal FAN to RUN for 5 SECONDS and then STOP.
4. This would indicate that the RP2040 is able to communicate properly with the Power Button and the internal FAN and that the board is fully functional.

UPDATE ARGON ONE V3 FIRMWARE

1. Download in your PC or Raspberry Pi Computer the latest Argon ONE V3 Firmware from the link below: https://download.argon40.com/firmware/Argon0ne.uf2
2. PRESS and HOLD the Argon ONE V3 POWER BUTTON while you connect the Internal USB•C with Data cable to your PC or Raspberry PI computer.
3. This puts the RP2040 into USB mass storage device mode.
4. Then you can DRAG and DROP your LATEST compiled .uf2 firmware file to the USB mass storage device.
5. Eject device when completed.
