- Locate the SODIMM slots (refer to Figure 3.2 and 3.3).
- Imbotta bil-mod il-klipps fiż-żewġt itruf tas-slott tal-memorja.
- Align the notch on the SODIMM module with the key in the memory slot.
- Insert the module at a 45-degree angle and push down firmly until the clips snap into place, securing the module.
3.4 Storage Device Installation (SATA)
Connect your SATA storage devices (HDD/SSD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard using SATA data cables. Ensure the power cable from your power supply is also connected to the storage device.
3.5 Konnessjoni tal-Periferali u l-Enerġija
- Connect the main power connector from your power supply to the motherboard.
- Connect any necessary auxiliary power connectors (e.g., CPU power).
- Connect USB devices, Ethernet cable, and display cables (DisplayPort, HDMI if available) to the appropriate I/O ports.
- Connect front panel headers (power button, reset button, USB, audio) to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to your system chassis manual for pin assignments.
4. Operazzjoni
4.1 L-Ewwel Boot
After all components are installed and connected, power on your system. The system should perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). If successful, the system will attempt to boot from your installed storage device.
4.2 Konfigurazzjoni tal-BIOS/UEFI
To enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility, press the designated key (commonly F2, F10, Del, or Esc) during the POST sequence. Consult your system's documentation for the exact key. In the BIOS/UEFI, you can configure boot order, system time, and other hardware settings.
5. Manutenzjoni
- Tneħħija tat-Trab: Regularly clean dust from the motherboard and system components using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Verifiki tal-Komponenti: Iċċekkja perjodikament il-konnessjonijiet tal-kejbil kollha biex tiżgura li huma sikuri.
- Aġġornamenti tal-BIOS: Iċċekkja l-appoġġ tal-HP website for BIOS/firmware updates for your specific system model (HP Slice G2 DM) to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
6 Issolvi l-problemi
- Ebda Qawwa: Ensure all power cables (main ATX, CPU power) are securely connected to the motherboard and power supply. Verify the power supply is switched on.
- Ebda Display: Check that the monitor is connected to the correct display output on the motherboard or graphics card. Reseat RAM modules and any expansion cards.
- Is-Sistema Mhux Tibbutja: Listen for beep codes (if applicable) which can indicate specific hardware issues. Try booting with only essential components (CPU, one RAM stick, power supply) to isolate the problem.
- Komponent Mhux Rilevat: Ensure the component (e.g., RAM, storage drive) is correctly seated and connected. Check BIOS/UEFI settings to see if it's recognized.
7. Għajnuniet għall-Utenti
- Always handle the motherboard by its edges to avoid touching sensitive components and static discharge.
- When installing the CPU, ensure proper alignment and do not apply excessive force. The CPU should sit naturally in the socket before the retention arm is closed.
