2. Remove the M.2 screw and standoff from the slot.
3. Daħħal l-M.2 SSD fl-islott f'angolu ta' 30 grad.
4. Push the M.2 SSD down and secure it with the screw and standoff.

3.4 Konnessjonijiet tal-Enerġija

1. Qabbad il-konnettur tal-enerġija ATX ta' 24-pin mill-PSU tiegħek mas-sokit tal-enerġija ta' 24-pin fuq il-motherboard.
2. Connect the 8-pin (or 4-pin) ATX 12V power connector from your PSU to the corresponding socket near the CPU.

3.5 Konnessjonijiet ta' Front Panel

Connect the cables from your PC case (Power Button, Reset Button, HDD LED, Power LED, USB, Audio) to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard layout diagram in your physical manual for exact header locations.

3.6 Installazzjoni tal-Karta tal-Grafika

1. Sib l-islott PCIe 3.0 x16.
2. Neħħi l-għatu tas-slott ta' espansjoni korrispondenti mill-kaxxa tal-PC tiegħek.
3. Align the graphics card with the PCIe slot and press it down firmly until it clicks into place.
4. Waħħal il-karta grafika mal-kaxxa b'vit.
5. Qabbad kwalunkwe kejbil tal-enerġija PCIe meħtieġ mill-PSU tiegħek mal-karta grafika.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

4.1 L-Ewwel Boot u s-Setup tal-BIOS/UEFI

1. Wara li tiġbor il-komponenti kollha, qabbad il-monitor, it-tastiera u l-maws tiegħek.
2. Ixgħel is-sistema tiegħek.
3. Waqt l-istartjar, agħfas ripetutament il-buttuna DEL or F2 ċavetta biex tidħol fl-utilità tas-setup tal-BIOS/UEFI.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

Din it-taqsima tipprovdi soluzzjonijiet għal kwistjonijiet komuni li tista’ tiltaqa’ magħhom.

6.1 Ebda Qawwa / Ebda POST (Test Awtomatiku tal-Power-On)

• Iċċekkja l-Konnessjonijiet tal-Enerġija: Ensure the 24-pin and 8-pin (or 4-pin) CPU power connectors are securely seated.
• Ivverifika l-PSU: Test your power supply unit (PSU) to ensure it is functional and providing adequate power.
• Erġa' poġġi l-Komponenti: Remove and re-install the CPU, RAM, and graphics card to ensure they are properly seated.
• CMOS ċar: Refer to your physical manual for instructions on how to clear the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) settings, which can resolve boot issues.

6.2 L-ebda Output tal-Wiri

• Konnessjoni tal-monitor: Ensure your monitor is correctly connected to the graphics card or motherboard (if using an APU with integrated graphics).
• Karta Grafika: If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is properly installed and has sufficient power. Test with another graphics card if possible.
• APU Compatibility: If using an AMD A-Series APU, ensure your monitor is connected to the motherboard's video outputs (VGA, DVI, HDMI). Ryzen CPUs without integrated graphics require a dedicated graphics card.

6.3 Operating System Not Booting

• Ordni tal-Ibbutjar: Check the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the correct boot device (e.g., SSD/HDD with OS) is prioritized.
• Apparat tal-Ħżin: Verify that your storage device is detected in the BIOS.
