3. Allinja bir-reqqa l-marka trijangulari fuq is-CPU mal-marka korrispondenti fuq is-sokit.
4. Place the CPU into the socket without forcing it.
5. Close the retention frame and secure it with the load lever.
6. Applika saff irqiq u uniformi ta' pejst termali fuq l-ispreader tas-sħana integrat (IHS) tas-CPU.
7. Installa l-cooler tas-CPU skont l-istruzzjonijiet tal-manifattur tiegħu.

3.2. Installazzjoni tal-Memorja (RAM)

1. Locate the four DDR3 DIMM slots. For optimal performance, refer to the motherboard's specific memory population guidelines, typically starting with slots closest to the CPU or specific colored slots for dual-channel configurations.
2. Iftaħ il-klipps taż-żamma fiż-żewġt itruf tas-slott tad-DIMM.
3. Allinja l-islott fuq il-modulu tal-memorja DDR3 maċ-ċavetta fl-islott tad-DIMM.
4. Daħħal il-modulu tal-memorja sew fl-islott sakemm il-klipps taż-żamma jidħlu f'posthom.
5. Ensure both clips are fully closed and the module is seated correctly.

3.3. Installazzjoni ta' Apparat tal-Ħażna

Connect SATA storage devices (HDDs/SSDs) to the SATA ports on the motherboard using SATA data cables. Connect the power cables from your power supply unit (PSU) to the storage devices.

3.4. Installazzjoni tal-Karta tal-Espansjoni

This motherboard features PCI Express (PCIe) slots. To install an expansion card:

1. Remove the corresponding slot cover from your chassis.
2. Allinja l-kard tal-espansjoni mas-slott tal-PCIe.
3. Agħfas 'l isfel sew sakemm il-kard tkun daħlet kompletament fl-islott.
4. Secure the card with a screw or retention clip from your chassis.

3.5. Konnessjonijiet tal-Enerġija

• Konnettur tal-Enerġija ATX ta' 24-pin: Connect the main 24-pin power cable from your PSU to the ATX power connector on the motherboard.
• 8-pin EPS/CPU Power Connector: Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4 pin) CPU power cable from your PSU to the EPS connector near the CPU socket.

3.6. Konnessjonijiet tal-I/O tal-Pannell ta' Quddiem u ta' Wara

• Konnetturi tal-Panew ta' Quddiem: Connect the power switch, reset switch, power LED, and HDD activity LED cables from your chassis to the corresponding pins on the motherboard's front panel header. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
• Intestaturi USB: Connect front panel USB ports to the onboard USB headers.
• Audio Headers: Connect front panel audio jacks to the onboard audio header.
• Panel I/O ta’ wara: Connect peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, monitor (via VGA), and network cables (to the Gigabit Ethernet ports) to the rear I/O panel.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
