3. Setup u Installazzjoni

Qabel tibda l-installazzjoni, kun żgur li s-sistema tiegħek hija mitfija u skonnettjata mis-sors tal-enerġija. Immaniġġja l-motherboard mit-truf tagħha biex tevita skariku statiku.

3.1. Required Components

• Compatible CPU (LGA1150 socket)
• Moduli tad-DDR3 RAM
• Unità tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija (PSU)
• Apparati tal-ħażna (HDD/SSD)
• Compatible PC case
• Screwdriver and anti-static wrist strap (recommended)

3.2. Passi ta 'installazzjoni

1. Ipprepara l-Każ: Installa l-ilqugħ tal-I/O fil-ftuħ ta' wara tal-kaxxa tal-PC tiegħek.
2. Installa s-CPU:
   • Iftaħ il-lieva tas-sokit tas-CPU u neħħi l-għatu protettiv.
   • Carefully align the CPU with the socket, ensuring the notches on the CPU match the keys on the socket.
   • Poġġi s-CPU bil-mod fis-sokit. Tisforzahx.
   • Agħlaq il-lieva tas-sokit biex twaħħal is-CPU.
3. Installa l-Cooler tas-CPU: Applika l-pejst termali (jekk ma jkunx ġie applikat minn qabel) u installa l-cooler tas-CPU skont l-istruzzjonijiet tal-manifattur tiegħu. Qabbad il-kejbil tal-fann tas-CPU mal-header CPU_FAN fuq il-motherboard.
4. Installa r-RAM:
   • Open the clips on both ends of the RAM slot.
   • Allinja l-modulu tar-RAM mas-slott, filwaqt li tiżgura li l-islott fuq il-modulu taqbel maċ-ċavetta fis-slott.
   • Agħfas sew 'l isfel fuq iż-żewġt itruf tal-modulu tar-RAM sakemm il-klipps jidħlu f'posthom.
5. Immuntar tal-Motherboard: Carefully place the motherboard into the PC case, aligning the screw holes with the standoffs. Secure the motherboard with screws.
6. Qabbad il-Provvista tal-Enerġija:
   • Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector from the PSU to the motherboard.
   • Connect the 4-pin or 8-pin CPU power connector (EPS12V) to the motherboard.
7. Qabbad l-Apparati tal-Ħażna: Connect SATA data cables from your storage devices (HDD/SSD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard. Connect SATA power cables from the PSU to the storage devices.
8. Qabbad il-Kejbils tal-Panel ta' Quddiem: Connect the power button, reset button, USB ports, audio jacks, and indicator LEDs from the PC case to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to your PC case manual for specific pin assignments.
9. Installa l-Kards tal-Espansjoni (Mhux obbligatorju): If using a dedicated graphics card or other PCIe cards, insert them into the appropriate PCIe slots and secure them.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Ladarba l-komponenti kollha jkunu installati u konnessi, tista' tixgħel is-sistema tiegħek.

4.1. L-Ewwel Xgħel

1. Kun żgur li l-kejbils kollha tal-enerġija huma konnessi sew.
2. Qabbad il-monitor, it-tastiera, u l-maws tiegħek.
3. Agħfas il-buttuna tal-qawwa fuq il-kaxxa tal-PC tiegħek.
4. The system should boot up, and you should see a display on your monitor.

4.2. Konfigurazzjoni tal-BIOS/UEFI

Upon initial boot, you may need to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility to configure settings such as boot order, date/time, and enable specific features. Typically, you can access this by pressing a key like DEL, F2, jew F10 during the system's power-on self-test (POST) phase.

• Ordni tal-Ibbutjar: Set the primary boot device (e.g., SSD/HDD with operating system, or USB drive for OS installation).
• Data u Ħin: Adjust the system clock.
• Modalità SATA: Ensure the SATA controller mode (e.g., AHCI) is correctly set for your storage devices.

5. Manutenzjoni

Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your motherboard and ensure stable system operation.

• Tneħħija tat-Trab: Naddaf it-trab minn ġewwa l-kaxxa tal-PC tiegħek regolarment, speċjalment mill-fannijiet u s-sinkijiet tas-sħana, bl-użu ta' arja kkompressata. Kun żgur li s-sistema tkun mitfija u skonnettjata qabel ma tnaddafha.
• Aġġornamenti tal-BIOS/UEFI: Iċċekkja perjodikament il-manifattur website for BIOS/UEFI updates. Updates can improve stability, add new features, or fix bugs. Follow the update instructions carefully to avoid damaging the motherboard.
• Ġestjoni tal-Kejbil: Kun żgur li l-kejbils huma mqiegħda pulit biex itejbu l-fluss tal-arja u jipprevjenu l-interferenza.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

Jekk tiltaqa' ma' problemi, irreferi għall-passi komuni li ġejjin għas-soluzzjoni tal-problemi:

• Ebda Qawwa:
  • Iċċekkja jekk il-provvista tal-enerġija hijiex imqabbda u mixgħula.
  • Verify all power cables (24-pin ATX, 4/8-pin CPU) are securely connected to the motherboard.
  • Kun żgur li l-kejbil tal-buttuna tal-enerġija tal-pannell ta' quddiem huwa konness sew mal-header tal-motherboard.
• Ebda Display:
  • Confirm the monitor is connected to the correct video output (either integrated graphics or dedicated graphics card).
  • Reseat the RAM modules. Try booting with only one RAM module installed.
  • Erġa' poġġi l-karta grafika (jekk applikabbli).
• Instabbiltà/Ħsarat tas-Sistema:
  • Iċċekkja t-temperaturi tas-CPU u l-GPU biex tiżgura li mhumiex qed jisħnu żżejjed.
  • Verify RAM modules are properly seated and functioning correctly (consider running a memory diagnostic tool).
  • Kun żgur li s-sewwieqa kollha huma aġġornati.
• Kwistjonijiet tal-BIOS/UEFI: If you cannot boot into the operating system after changing BIOS settings, try clearing the CMOS. This usually involves removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes or using a dedicated CLR_CMOS jumper on the motherboard.
