3. Persediaan dan Pemasangan

Sebelum memulakan pemasangan, pastikan sistem anda dimatikan dan diputuskan sambungan daripada sumber kuasa. Kendalikan papan induk di tepinya untuk mengelakkan nyahcas statik.

3.1. Pemasangan Pemproses

1. Cari soket LGA1156 pada papan induk.
2. Buka tuil soket CPU dan angkat plat beban logam.
3. Carefully align the processor with the socket, ensuring the gold triangle on the CPU matches the triangle on the socket. Do not force the processor into the socket.
4. Turunkan plat beban dan pasangkannya dengan tuil.
5. Sapukan tampal haba pada CPU dan pasangkan penyejuk CPU mengikut arahan pengeluarnya.

3.2. Pemasangan Memori

1. Identify the four DDR3 DIMM slots. For dual-channel operation, refer to the motherboard diagram for recommended slot pairing.
2. Buka klip di kedua-dua hujung slot DIMM.
3. Jajarkan modul memori dengan slot, pastikan takuk pada modul sepadan dengan kunci dalam slot.
4. Tekan ke bawah dengan kuat pada kedua-dua hujung modul memori sehingga klip terpasang pada tempatnya.

3.3. Menyambung Peranti

• Bekalan Kuasa: Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector and the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector to the motherboard.
• Peranti Storan: Connect SATA data cables from your hard drives or SSDs to the SATA 2.0 ports on the motherboard.
• Kad Pengembangan: Insert PCI Express or PCI cards into the appropriate slots and secure them. Note that the PCI Express x16 slot is for graphics cards.
• Penyambung Panel Depan: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, power LED, and front panel USB/audio connectors to their respective headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard diagram for correct pin assignments.
• External Peripherals: Connect USB devices, monitor(s) to VGA, DVI-D, or HDMI ports, Ethernet cable, and audio devices to the rear I/O panel.

4. Arahan Operasi

After successful hardware installation, connect your system to a power source and power it on.

4.1. Persediaan BIOS

Upon initial boot, you may need to enter the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) setup to configure system settings, boot order, and other parameters. Typically, you can access the BIOS by pressing the DEL or F2 key during the system's power-on self-test (POST) phase.

• Configure boot device priority for operating system installation.
• Tetapkan tarikh dan masa sistem.
• Adjust memory timings or CPU settings if necessary (advanced users only).
• Simpan perubahan dan keluar dari BIOS untuk meneruskan boot.

4.2. Pemasangan Sistem Pengendalian

Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD) and follow the on-screen prompts to install the OS. After installation, install the necessary drivers for the motherboard components (chipset, audio, LAN, graphics) from the provided driver disc or Intel's official webtapak.

4.3. Integrated Graphics

If using an Intel Core processor with integrated Intel HD Graphics, the motherboard's VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI outputs will be active. This allows for multi-monitor setups and high-definition video playback without a discrete graphics card. For dedicated gaming or high-performance graphics, install a PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics card.

5. Penyelenggaraan

Penyelenggaraan yang betul memastikan jangka hayat dan operasi papan induk anda yang stabil.

• Penyingkiran habuk: Bersihkan habuk secara kerap dari dalam bekas komputer anda, terutamanya daripada penyejuk haba dan kipas, menggunakan udara termampat. Pastikan sistem dimatikan dan dicabut plag sebelum dibersihkan.
• Kemas Kini BIOS: Check Intel's official website periodically for BIOS updates. BIOS updates can improve system stability, compatibility, and performance. Follow Intel's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS.
• Kemas Kini Pemandu: Keep your device drivers (chipset, audio, LAN, graphics) updated to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with new software.
• Keadaan Persekitaran: Operate the motherboard in a well-ventilated area with stable temperature and humidity. Avoid extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

6. Penyelesaian masalah
