Installation and Settings

Important Note: Pin 1 on headers is indicated by a [Pin 1 indicator] or a thick white line.

Memory Installation

Follow these steps to install RAM modules:

1. Open the [memory slot latch]s at both ends of the memory slot.
2. Align the memory module with the slot, matching the notch, and press down firmly.
3. The latches will automatically spring up to secure the module.
4. Note: Grey slots are main slots, black are secondary. Always insert into the main slot first. A single slot installation may not pass memory self-test.

Graphics Card Installation

1. Remove the chassis baffle plate and screws.
2. Unlock the PCIe slot retention clip.
3. Insert the graphics card firmly into the PCIe slot.
4. The retention clip will automatically lock.
5. Secure the graphics card to the chassis with screws.
6. Connect the necessary power cables.

CPU Installation

Note: Ensure the [Heatsink mounting notch] is inserted correctly.

1. Identify the [CPU triangle marking]s on the CPU and the CPU socket plastic clip.
2. Align the CPU with the socket, matching the triangle markings.
3. Place the heatsink module over the CPU.
4. Align the heatsink's [Heatsink mounting notch] with the corresponding holes on the motherboard (positions C, D). Ensure the heatsink's [Heatsink groove] aligns with the side of the CPU socket bracket (positions A, B).
5. Using a [T30 Torx Driver], tighten the screws in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4.

CPU Removal

1. Using a [T30 Torx Driver], loosen the screws in the sequence 4, 3, 2, 1.
2. After removing the screws, carefully lift the heatsink module off the CPU socket.
