Setup

1. Installazzjoni tas-CPU

1. Sib is-sokit LGA1151 fuq il-motherboard.
2. Iftaħ il-lieva tas-sokit tas-CPU u erfa' l-pjanċa tat-tagħbija.
3. Allinja s-CPU bir-reqqa mas-sokit, filwaqt li tiżgura li t-trijangolu tad-deheb fuq is-CPU jaqbel mat-trijangolu fuq is-sokit.
4. Poġġi s-CPU bil-mod fis-sokit mingħajr ma tisforzah.
5. Close the load plate and push the lever back into place until it clicks.

2. Installazzjoni tal-Memorja (RAM)

1. Identify the four DDR4 DIMM slots. For dual-channel operation, install memory modules into slots A2 and B2 first.
2. Iftaħ il-klipps fiż-żewġt itruf tas-slott tad-DIMM.
3. Allinja l-islott fuq il-modulu tal-memorja maċ-ċavetta fl-islott tad-DIMM.
4. Agħfas sew 'l isfel fuq iż-żewġt itruf tal-modulu tal-memorja sakemm il-klipps jidħlu f'posthom.

3. Storage Installation (M.2 SSDs and SATA Drives)

1. M.2 SSD: Locate the M.2 slots. Remove the M.2 screw and standoff. Insert the M.2 SSD into the slot at an angle, then gently push it down and secure it with the standoff and screw. Note that one M.2 slot is labeled 'Ultra M.2' and may have a thermal pad.
2. Drajvs SATA: Connect SATA data cables from your SSDs/HDDs to the SATA3 ports on the motherboard. Connect power cables from your power supply to the drives.
