5. Opstelling en installering

Volg hierdie stappe vir die korrekte installering van jou moederbord en komponente.

5.1. Installering van die SVE

1. Locate the LGA 1151 CPU socket.
2. Maak die SVE-sokhendel oop en lig die laaiplaat op.
3. Rig die SVE versigtig met die sok in lyn en maak seker dat die goue driehoek op die SVE ooreenstem met die driehoek op die sok. Moenie die SVE in die sok forseer nie.
4. Laat sak die laaiplaat en maak dit met die hefboom vas.

5.2. Installering van die SVE-verkoeler

Refer to your CPU cooler's instruction manual for specific installation steps. Ensure thermal paste is applied correctly between the CPU and cooler base.

5.3. Installeer geheue (RAM)

1. Maak die knippies aan beide kante van die DDR4 DIMM-gleuwe oop.
2. Rig die geheuemodule met die gleuf en maak seker dat die kerf op die module ooreenstem met die sleutel in die gleuf.
3. Druk stewig aan beide kante van die geheuemodule totdat die knippies in plek klik.
4. For dual-channel performance, install memory modules in matching colored slots (e.g., DIMM1 and DIMM2).

5.4. Installing Expansion Cards

1. Remove the metal bracket from the desired PCIe slot on your computer case.
2. Align the expansion card with the PCIe slot and press down firmly until it is seated correctly.
3. Bevestig die kaart met 'n skroef aan die rekenaarkas.

5.5. Connecting Storage Devices

• SATA-toestelle: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to a SATA 6Gb/s port on the motherboard and the other end to your hard drive or SSD. Connect the SATA power cable from your power supply to the device.
• M.2 SSD: Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot at an angle, then gently push it down and secure it with the provided screw.
• SATA Express: If using a SATA Express device, connect it to the designated SATA Express connector.

5.6. Aansluiting van voorpaneelverbindings

Connect the cables from your computer case's front panel (power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, front USB, front audio) to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard layout diagram for exact locations and pin assignments.

5.7. Aansluiting van kragtoevoer

1. Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector from your power supply to the 24-pin power socket on the motherboard.
2. Connect the 8-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector to the 8-pin socket near the CPU.
3. Maak seker dat alle kragverbindings veilig is.
