2. Installazzjoni tal-Cooler tas-CPU:

   Apply thermal paste (if not pre-applied on the cooler). Mount the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is securely fastened and making good contact with the CPU. Connect the CPU fan cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.

3. Installazzjoni tal-Memorja (RAM):

   Open the clips on both ends of the DIMM slots. Align the notch on the RAM module with the key in the slot. Press down firmly on both ends of the module until the clips snap into place. For dual-channel operation, install modules in matching colored slots (e.g., A2 and B2).

4. Immuntar tal-Motherboard:

   Install standoffs in your PC case according to the ATX form factor. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs, aligning the screw holes. Secure the motherboard with screws, ensuring it is firmly seated but not overtightened.
5. Konnessjonijiet tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija:

   Qabbad il-konnettur ewlieni tal-enerġija ATX ta' 24 pin u l-konnettur tal-enerġija tas-CPU ATX ta' 12V ta' 8 pin (jew 4 pin) mill-provvista tal-enerġija tiegħek mal-portijiet korrispondenti fuq il-motherboard.

6. Konnessjonijiet tal-Apparat tal-Ħażna:

   Connect SATA data cables from your storage drives (HDD/SSD/ODD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard. Connect SATA power cables from your power supply to the drives.

7. Konnessjonijiet tal-Panew ta' Quddiem:

   Connect the front panel cables (Power SW, Reset SW, HDD LED, Power LED, USB, Audio) from your PC case to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct pin alignment.
8. Installazzjoni tal-Karta tal-Espansjoni:

   If installing a discrete graphics card or other expansion cards, insert them firmly into the appropriate PCIe or PCI slots until they click into place. Secure them with the case's retention mechanism or screws.
