4. Setup Guide
Follow these general steps to install your motherboard into a computer system. Always ensure power is disconnected before handling components.
4.1. Preparation
- Safety First: Disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or frequently touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity.
- Gather Components: Ensure you have your CPU, CPU cooler, RAM modules, storage devices, power supply, and PC case ready.
4.2. Motherboard Installation
- Install CPU: Open the CPU socket lever, align the CPU with the socket (match the golden triangle or notches), gently place the CPU into the socket, and close the lever to secure it.
- Install CPU Cooler: Apply thermal paste (if not pre-applied) and install the CPU cooler according to its instructions.
- Install RAM: Open the clips on the DDR4 DIMM slots. Align the RAM modules with the slots (notch on the module matches the slot key), and press down firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place. For dual-channel operation, refer to your CPU cooler's manual for recommended slot population.
- Mount Motherboard: Install the I/O shield into your PC case. Carefully place the motherboard into the case, aligning the screw holes with the standoffs. Secure the motherboard with screws.
- Install M.2 SSD (Optional): If using an M.2 SSD, insert it into the M.2 slot and secure it with the provided screw.
- Connect Power: Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin CPU power connector from your power supply to the motherboard.
- Connect Storage: Connect SATA data cables from your storage drives (HDDs/SSDs) to the SATA 6Gb/s ports on the motherboard. Connect SATA power cables from your power supply to the drives.
- Connect Front Panel: Connect the front panel headers (power button, reset button, USB ports, audio jacks, LED indicators) to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
- Install Expansion Cards (Optional): If using a dedicated graphics card or other PCIe expansion cards, insert them into the appropriate PCIe slots and secure them.
