Safety Precautions

ESD Protection: Components may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow precautions to ensure successful assembly.

• Ensure all components are firmly connected. Loose connections may lead to the computer failing to recognize components or start.
• To prevent ESD damage, discharge your body static by touching other metal objects before handling the motherboard. Hold the motherboard by its edges, avoiding sensitive components.
• When not installed, place the motherboard in an anti-static container or on an anti-static pad.
• Before powering on, ensure no loose screws or metal components are inside the computer case.
• Do not start the computer before installation is complete to avoid permanent damage or injury.
• For assistance, contact HUANANZHI after-sales customer service or email business@huananzhi.com.
• Always switch off the power and unplug the power cable before installation or disassembly.
• Keep the motherboard away from moisture.
• Keep the user manual for future reference.
• Ensure the power socket provides the correct voltage before plugging in the power supply.
• Keep the motherboard and power cable in a safe place, away from foot traffic.
• If the computer experiences liquid penetration, exposure to moisture, fails to work after following instructions, has been dropped, or shows signs of damage, have it checked by a service technician.

M.2 Setting Jumpers

Diagram 2-6 explains the M.2 setting jumpers. Moving the jumper to the left enables M.2 NVME and disables M.2 NGFF. Moving it to the right enables M.2 NGFF and disables M.2 NVME.

CPU Installation

To install the CPU correctly, align the starting points and the golden triangle indicator on the LGA2011 CPU with the motherboard socket. The golden triangle indicates Pin 1 (refer to diagram 2-7).

M.2 Interface Installation

1. Remove the screw from the screw base.
2. Remove the screw base.
3. Tighten the screw base into the M.2 module's distance hole for the M.2 interface.
4. Insert your M.2 module into the M.2 interface at a 30-degree angle.
5. Place the screw on the trailing edge notch of your M.2 module and tighten it to the screw base.

(Refer to diagram 2-8)

Memory Installation

1. Pull the clips on both ends of the memory slot outward. Align the memory module with the slot's protruding position to determine the installation direction.
2. Align the memory module into the slot and press down. The clips on both ends will automatically snap into place.

(Refer to diagram 2-9)

Graphics Card Installation
