5. Opstelgids

5.1 Moederborduitleg

Familiarize yourself with the motherboard's components and connectors before installation. Refer to the diagram below for key locations.

Key components typically include:

• SVE-sokkel (AM4): Center of the board, where the processor is installed.

• PCIe x16-gleuf: The primary slot for your graphics card.
• PCIe x1-gleuf: For other expansion cards like network cards or sound cards.
• M.2 Slot: For NVMe or SATA M.2 SSDs.
• SATA-poorte: Vir die koppeling van SATA-hardeskywe of SSD's.
• 24-pen ATX-kragkonnektor: Main power input for the motherboard.
• 8-pen SVE-kragkonnektor: Verskaf krag aan die SVE.
• Voorpaneelopskrifte: Connectors for your case's power button, reset button, USB ports, and audio jacks.
• Agterste I/O-paneel: Ports for external devices (USB, video, audio, LAN, PS/2).

5.2 SVE Installasie

1. Locate the AM4 socket on the motherboard.
2. Lig die klein metaalhefboom aan die kant van die sok op.
3. Carefully align the triangular mark on your AMD Ryzen CPU with the corresponding mark on the socket.
4. Gently place the CPU into the socket without forcing it. It should drop in easily.
5. Laat sak die metaalhefboom om die SVE in plek te hou.
6. Installeer jou SVE-verkoeler volgens die vervaardiger se instruksies.

5.3 Geheue (RAM) Installasie

1. Vind die twee DDR4 DIMM-gleuwe.
2. Maak die knippies aan beide kante van die DIMM-gleuf oop.
3. Rig die kerf op die DDR4-geheuemodule met die sleutel in die DIMM-gleuf.
4. Plaas die geheuemodule stewig in die gleuf totdat die knippies vasklik. Maak seker dat beide knippies toe is.
5. For dual-channel performance, install memory modules in both available slots.

5.4 Installasie van bergingstoestelle

M.2 SSD Installasie

1. Vind die M.2-gleuf op die moederbord.
2. Verwyder die M.2-afstandsskroef.
3. Align the M.2 SSD's notch with the key in the slot and insert it at an angle.
4. Druk die M.2 SSD versigtig af en maak dit vas met die afstandskroef.

SATA Drive Connection

1. Koppel die een kant van 'n SATA-datakabel aan 'n SATA 6Gb/s-poort op die moederbord.
2. Koppel die ander kant van die SATA-datakabel aan jou SATA-hardeskyf of SSD.
3. Koppel 'n SATA-kragkabel vanaf jou kragtoevoereenheid (PSU) aan die SATA-skyf.

5.5 Installasie van uitbreidingskaart

1. Locate the PCIe x16 slot for your graphics card or PCIe x1 slot for other expansion cards.
2. Remove the corresponding slot cover from your PC case.
3. Rig die uitbreidingskaart met die gleuf in lyn en druk stewig vas totdat dit korrek in plek is.
4. Secure the card with a screw to the PC case.

5.6 Aansluiting van randapparatuur en voorpaneel

• Voorpaneelverbindings: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, power LED, front USB, and front audio cables from your PC case to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard layout diagram and your case manual for exact pin assignments.
• Agterste I/O-paneel: Connect your monitor to the VGA or HDMI port, keyboard/mouse to USB or PS/2 ports, Ethernet cable to the LAN port, and speakers/headphones to the audio jacks.

5.7 Kragverbindings

1. Connect the 24-pin ATX power cable from your PSU to the main 24-pin connector on the motherboard.
2. Connect the 8-pin CPU power cable from your PSU to the 8-pin connector near the CPU socket.

6. Bedryfsinstruksies

6.1 Eerste opstart en BIOS/UEFI-opstelling

1. Nadat u al die komponente saamgestel het, koppel u monitor, sleutelbord en muis.
2. Skakel jou stelsel aan.
3. During startup, repeatedly press the 'DEL' key (or F2, F10, F12 depending on BIOS version) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
4. In the BIOS/UEFI, you can configure boot order, system time, and other advanced settings. Save changes and exit to boot into your operating system installer.

6.2 Bestuurderinstallasie

After installing your operating system, install the necessary drivers for optimal performance. You can typically find these on the GALAX official website or a provided driver disk.

• Chipset-drywers: Noodsaaklik vir behoorlike kommunikasie tussen moederbordkomponente.
• LAN-drywers: For internet connectivity.
• Oudio-drywers: For sound functionality.
• Grafiese drywers: If using an integrated GPU (APU) or a dedicated graphics card.

7. Onderhoud

• Hou dit skoon: Regularly clean dust from your PC components using compressed air. Dust can impede airflow and cause overheating.
• Gaan verbindings na: Periodically ensure all cables (power, data, and peripheral) are securely connected.
• BIOS-opdaterings: Gaan die vervaardiger na website for BIOS/UEFI updates, especially if you are installing a newer generation Ryzen CPU that was released after the motherboard.

8. Probleemoplossing

• Geen krag: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) are firmly connected. Check your power supply unit (PSU) and wall outlet.
• Geen skerm: Verify your monitor is connected to the correct video output (either motherboard's integrated graphics or dedicated GPU). Reseat your graphics card and RAM modules.
• Stelsel begin nie: Check if the CPU, RAM, and storage devices are correctly installed. Listen for beep codes (if your motherboard has a speaker) which can indicate specific issues.
• Oorverhitting: Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed and making good contact. Check case fan orientation for optimal airflow.

9. Gebruikerswenke

• BIOS Update for Newer CPUs: If you are using a Ryzen 5000 series CPU, you might need to update the motherboard's BIOS to the latest version for full compatibility. This often requires a compatible older CPU or a BIOS Flashback feature (check if your specific board supports it).
• RAM-versoenbaarheid: Always check the motherboard's Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for RAM to ensure optimal compatibility and stability, especially when aiming for higher memory speeds (e.g., 3200MHz).
• Kabelbestuur: Good cable management improves airflow and makes future maintenance easier.
• CMOS-battery: Remember to install a CR2032 CMOS battery if one was not included, as it's essential for maintaining BIOS settings and system time.
