After all components are installed and connected, plug in the power cord and press the power button on your computer case. The system should power on, and you should see a display on your monitor. If not, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

5.1 Konfigurazzjoni tal-BIOS/UEFI

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the firmware that initializes hardware during the boot process. To enter the BIOS/UEFI setup, press the designated key (usually DEL, F2, or F10) repeatedly during startup. Here you can configure boot order, system time, hardware settings, and more.

5.2 Installazzjoni tas-sewwieq

After installing your operating system, it is crucial to install the latest drivers for your motherboard's chipset, integrated graphics (if applicable), audio, and network components. You can find these drivers on the Intel support website or on the provided driver CD/DVD.
