Proper installation is crucial for the stable operation of your system. Ensure you have a static-free environment and handle components with care.

1. Pagrindinės plokštės paruošimas

• Išpakavimas: Carefully remove the motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Place it on a non-conductive, flat surface.
• CPU diegimas: Open the LGA 775 CPU socket lever. Align the CPU with the socket, ensuring the notches match. Gently place the CPU into the socket without force. Close the lever to secure the CPU. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU's surface.
• CPU aušintuvo montavimas: Mount the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper contact with the CPU and secure attachment to the motherboard.
• Atminties (RAM) diegimas: Open the clips on both ends of the DDR3 memory slots. Align the memory module with the slot, ensuring the notch on the module matches the key in the slot. Press down firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place.

2. Installing into the Chassis

• Montavimas: Install the necessary standoffs in your computer case that align with the motherboard's mounting holes. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws. Do not overtighten.
• Maitinimo prijungimas: Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector and the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector from your power supply to the corresponding sockets on the motherboard.
• Priekinio skydelio jungtys: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, and power LED cables from your chassis front panel to the designated pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
• USB ir garso jungtys: Connect the front panel USB and audio cables to their respective headers on the motherboard.
• Saugojimo įrenginiai: Connect SATA data cables from your hard drives or SSDs to the SATA ports on the motherboard. Connect the power cables from your power supply to these devices.
• Išplėtimo kortelės: If installing a discrete graphics card or other PCI/PCIe expansion cards, insert them firmly into the appropriate slots and secure them with the case's retention mechanism.

Trikčių šalinimas

Šiame skyriuje pateikiami dažniausiai pasitaikančių problemų, su kuriomis galite susidurti, sprendimai.

Dažnos problemos ir sprendimai:

• Nėra maitinimo / nėra įkrovos:
  • Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 4-pin 12V CPU) are securely connected.
  • Verify the power supply is switched on and functioning.
  • Patikrinkite priekinio skydelio maitinimo jungiklio jungtį su pagrindine plokšte.
• Nėra ekrano:
  • Įsitikinkite, kad monitorius prijungtas prie tinkamos vaizdo išvesties (integruotos arba atskiros grafikos plokštės).
  • Iš naujo įstatykite vaizdo plokštę (jei taikoma) ir RAM modulius.
  • Try booting with only one RAM module installed.
• Sistemos nestabilumas / gedimai:
  • Patikrinkite procesoriaus ir vaizdo plokštės temperatūrą, kad įsitikintumėte, jog jie neperkaista.
  • Patikrinkite, ar RAM moduliai tinkamai įdėti ir nėra sugedę (tikrinkite po vieną modulį).
  • Ensure all drivers are correctly installed and up-to-date.
  • Paleiskite atminties diagnostikos įrankį.
• Periferinis įrenginys neaptiktas:
  • Įsitikinkite, kad įrenginys tinkamai prijungtas.
  • Patikrinkite įrenginių tvarkytuvę savo operacinėje sistemoje, ar nėra tvarkyklių problemų.
  • Test the device on another port or another computer if possible.

BIOS atstatymas:

If you encounter issues after changing BIOS settings, you can reset the BIOS to default settings. Power off the system, unplug the power cord, and locate the Clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard (refer to the motherboard diagram). Move the jumper to the 'Clear' position for 5-10 seconds, then return it to the 'Normal' position. Alternatively, remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes and then reinsert it.
