Installasie stappe:

1. Berei die saak voor: Installeer die I/O-skerm in die agterste opening van jou rekenaarkas.
2. Installeer die SVE: Open the CPU socket lever, align the CPU with the socket (match the golden triangle on the CPU to the triangle on the socket), gently place the CPU into the socket, and close the lever.
3. Installeer die SVE-verkoeler: Follow the cooler manufacturer's instructions to install the CPU cooler onto the motherboard. Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU_FAN header.
4. Installeer geheuemodules: Open the clips on the DIMM slots. Align the memory module notch with the slot key, insert the module firmly until the clips snap into place. For dual-channel operation, refer to the motherboard manual for correct slot pairing.
5. Monteer die moederbord: Plaas die moederbord versigtig in die kas en belyn die skroefgate met die afstandhouers. Bevestig die moederbord met skroewe.
6. Install Graphics Card(s): Insert your PCI Express graphics card(s) into the appropriate PCIe x16 slot(s) until it clicks into place. Secure with a screw or retention clip.
7. Installeer bergingstoestelle: Connect your SATA HDDs/SSDs to the SATA 6Gb/s ports using the provided SATA cables.
8. Koppel kragtoevoer: Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector and the 8-pin ATX 12V power connector from your power supply to the motherboard. Connect power to graphics cards and storage devices.
9. Verbind voorpaneelkabels: Connect the power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, and front panel audio/USB cables to their respective headers on the motherboard.

Bedryf

BIOS-opstelling:

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware that initializes hardware during the boot process. To enter the BIOS setup utility, press the DEL key repeatedly during system startup. Here you can configure various system settings such as boot order, date/time, CPU/memory settings, and enable/disable integrated peripherals. The GA-990FXA-UD3 features GIGABYTE's DualBIOS with Hybrid EFI technology, providing redundancy and support for large hard drives.

Bestuurder installasie:

After installing your operating system, install the necessary drivers for the motherboard's components. You can use the driver CD included in your package or download the latest drivers from the official GIGABYTE webwerf (www.gigabyte.com) for optimal performance and compatibility.

Onderhoud

• Hou skoon: Regularly clean dust from the motherboard and components using compressed air. Ensure fans are free of obstructions.
• BIOS-opdaterings: Kontroleer die GIGABYTE gereeld website for BIOS updates. BIOS updates can improve system stability, add support for new hardware, or fix bugs. Follow GIGABYTE's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS.
• Gaan verbindings na: Maak seker dat alle kragkabels, datakabels en uitbreidingskaarte stewig vas is. Los verbindings kan af en toe probleme veroorsaak.

Probleemoplossing

• Geen krag: Ensure the power supply is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin and 8-pin connectors) and that the power supply switch is on. Check front panel power button connection.
• Geen skerm: Verify that the graphics card is properly seated in its PCIe slot and that all necessary power connectors are attached. Ensure the monitor cable is securely connected to the graphics card.
• Stelsel begin nie: Check memory modules are correctly installed. Try booting with only one memory module. Verify boot order in BIOS.
• Unexplained Slow Boot Times: Some users have reported slow boot times with this motherboard, even with SSDs. Ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest stable version. Verify that the SSD/HDD is set as the first boot device in the BIOS.
• Linux Compatibility (IOMMU/USB/Network Issues): For Linux users experiencing issues with network or USB 2.0 ports, it may be necessary to disable IOMMU in the BIOS and add "iommu=soft" to your GRUB boot options.
• Oorklok-onstabiliteit: If overclocking, ensure adequate cooling and gradually increase voltages and frequencies. Refer to online resources and community forums for stable overclocking profiles for your specific CPU and memory.
• Audio Crackling: If experiencing audio crackling, try reinstalling the audio drivers. Ensure no conflicting audio software is running.
