Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the main power supply. Always handle the motherboard by its edges to avoid static discharge. It is recommended to wear an anti-static wrist strap.

  1. Preparation:
    • Ensure you have a clean, static-free workspace.
    • Gather necessary tools: Phillips head screwdriver, thermal paste (if installing a new CPU), and anti-static wrist strap.
  2. Motherboard Installation:
    • Carefully align the motherboard with the standoffs in your PC case.
    • Secure the motherboard with screws, ensuring it is firmly seated but not overtightened.
  3. Component Installation:
    • CPU: Open the CPU socket lever, align the CPU with the socket (matching the golden triangle/arrow), gently place it, and close the lever. Apply thermal paste and install the CPU cooler.
    • RAM: Open the clips on the DDR4 memory slots. Align the RAM modules with the slots, ensuring the notch on the module matches the notch in the slot. Press down firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place.
    • Storage Devices: Connect SATA data and power cables to your hard drives or SSDs.
    • Power Supply: Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 4/8-pin CPU power connector from your power supply to the motherboard.
    • Front Panel Connectors: Connect the power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, and USB/audio headers from your case to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to your PC case manual for specific pin layouts if needed.
