5.1 SVE Installasie

1. Maak die hefboom van die SVE-sokkel oop en verwyder die beskermende deksel.
2. Rig die SVE versigtig met die sok en maak seker dat die driehoekige merk op die SVE ooreenstem met die merk op die sok.
3. Plaas die SVE versigtig in die sok sonder om dit te forseer.
4. Maak die sokhefboom toe om die SVE vas te maak.

5.2 Geheue (RAM) Installasie

1. Maak die knippies aan beide kante van die DDR5 DIMM-gleuwe oop.
2. Align the notch on the DDR5 memory module with the key on the DIMM slot.
3. Plaas die geheuemodule stewig in die gleuf totdat die knippies vasklik.
4. For dual-channel operation, install modules in matching color slots (e.g., A2 and B2).

5.3 Storage (M.2 SSDs, SATA Drives) Installation

• M.2 SSD: Remove the M.2 Thermal Guard. Insert the M.2 SSD into the slot at an angle, then push it down and secure it with the EZ-Latch mechanism or screw. Reattach the Thermal Guard.
• SATA-skywe: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to a SATA port on the motherboard and the other end to your SATA storage device. Connect a SATA power cable from your power supply to the device.

5.4 Expansion Card (PCIe) Installation

1. Align your PCIe expansion card (e.g., graphics card) with the desired PCIe slot.
2. Druk stewig af totdat die kaart korrek geplaas is en die retensieklip vassluit.
3. Bevestig die kaart met 'n skroef aan die onderstel.

5.5 Kragtoevoerverbindings

• Koppel die 24-pen ATX-hoofkragkonnektor van jou kragtoevoer aan die moederbord.
