Passi ta' Installazzjoni:
- Ipprepara l-ispazju tax-xogħol tiegħek: Ensure you are working in a clean, static-free environment. Ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object or using an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to components.
- Installa l-Proċessur: Carefully open the CPU socket retention arm on your LGA 1150 motherboard. Align the processor with the socket, matching the gold triangle on the CPU to the triangle on the socket. Gently place the CPU into the socket without forcing it. Close the retention arm to secure the processor.
- Installa l-CPU Cooler: The Intel Core i3-4150 typically comes with a stock cooler that has pre-applied thermal paste. Place the cooler onto the CPU, aligning the mounting pins with the holes on the motherboard. Press down firmly on each pin until it clicks into place. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
- Installa l-Memorja (RAM): Refer to your motherboard manual for correct RAM slot population. Open the clips on the DIMM slots, align the RAM modules with the key notch, and press down firmly until the clips snap into place.
- Immonta l-Motherboard fil-Kaxxa: Secure the motherboard into your computer case using standoffs and screws. Connect the case's front panel connectors (power switch, reset switch, USB, audio) to the appropriate headers on the motherboard.
- Qabbad il-Provvista tal-Enerġija: Qabbad il-konnettur tal-enerġija ATX ta' 24 pin u l-konnettur tal-enerġija tas-CPU ta' 4 pin jew 8 pin mill-provvista tal-enerġija tiegħek mal-motherboard.
- Installa Apparati tal-Ħażna: Connect your hard drives or solid-state drives using SATA data cables to the motherboard and SATA power cables from the power supply.
- Installa s-Sistema Operattiva: Once all hardware is installed, you can proceed with installing your chosen operating system. This can be done via a bootable USB drive or an optical drive.
