3. Persediaan dan Pemasangan
Follow these steps carefully to install your Intel D945GCNL motherboard into a compatible computer chassis.
- Penyediaan: Ensure you are working in a static-free environment. Use an anti-static wrist strap or frequently touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity. Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, thermal paste, and your compatible components (CPU, RAM, power supply, storage).
- Pemasangan CPU:
- Cari soket CPU LGA775 pada papan induk.
- Gently lift the load lever and open the CPU retention plate.
- Align the Intel Core 2 DUO processor with the socket, matching the gold triangle on the CPU to the triangle on the socket. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
- Close the retention plate and secure the load lever.
- Sapukan lapisan pes haba yang nipis dan sekata pada bahagian atas CPU.
- Pasang penyejuk CPU mengikut arahan pengilangnya, pastikan ia bersentuhan rapat dengan CPU.
- Pemasangan RAM:
- Identify the two DDR2 DIMM slots.
- Buka klip di kedua-dua hujung slot RAM.
- Align the notch on the DDR2 SDRAM module with the key in the slot.
- Tekan ke bawah dengan kuat pada kedua-dua hujung modul memori sehingga klip terpasang pada tempatnya.
- Pemasangan papan induk:
- Install standoffs in your computer chassis that align with the screw holes on the D945GCNL motherboard.
- Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs, ensuring the rear I/O ports align with the chassis' I/O shield (if available).
- Secure the motherboard with screws, but do not overtighten.
- Sambungan Bekalan Kuasa:
- Sambungkan penyambung kuasa utama ATX 24-pin daripada bekalan kuasa anda ke pengepala yang sepadan pada papan induk.
- Connect the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector (CPU power) to its designated header near the CPU socket.
- Sambungan persisian:
- Connect SATA or IDE cables for storage drives (hard drives, SSDs, optical drives).
- Connect front panel headers (power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, front USB, front audio) to their respective pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
- Install any necessary expansion cards (e.g., graphics card) into the PCI or PCI Express slots and secure them.
4. Arahan Operasi
Once the motherboard and all components are installed, you can proceed with initial system startup.
- But Permulaan: Connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on the system. The system should display the BIOS splash screen.
- Mengakses BIOS/UEFI: Semasa permulaan, tekan berulang kali F2 or Padam key (depending on BIOS version) to enter the BIOS setup utility. Here you can configure boot order, system time, and other hardware settings.
- Pemasangan Sistem Operasi: Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD) and configure the boot order in BIOS to boot from it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install your preferred operating system.
- Pemasangan Pemandu: After the operating system is installed, install the necessary drivers for the motherboard's chipset, audio, network, and integrated graphics. These drivers are typically available on Intel's official support webtapak.
5. Penyelenggaraan
Penyelenggaraan yang betul memastikan ketahanan dan prestasi papan induk anda stabil.
- Penyingkiran habuk: Periodically clean the interior of your computer case, especially the motherboard and CPU cooler, using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

6. Penyelesaian masalah
Jika anda menghadapi masalah dengan papan induk anda, rujuk langkah penyelesaian masalah biasa berikut:
- Sistem Tidak Dihidupkan:
- Verify that the power supply is connected correctly to both the motherboard (24-pin and 4-pin connectors) and the wall outlet.
- Pastikan kabel butang kuasa panel hadapan disambungkan dengan betul ke pengepala papan induk.
- Test the power supply with another system or a power supply tester if possible.
- No Display (No POST):
- Check that the monitor is properly connected to the motherboard's VGA port or a dedicated graphics card.
- Reseat the RAM modules. Try booting with only one RAM module installed.
- Ensure the CPU and CPU cooler are correctly installed and the CPU power cable is connected.
- Listen for any beep codes from the motherboard, which can indicate specific hardware issues. Consult the Intel support website for beep code interpretations.
- Peranti Tidak Dikesan:
- Verify that USB devices are connected to functional USB ports.
- Ensure SATA/IDE cables are securely connected to both the motherboard and the storage device.
- Check device manager in your operating system for driver issues or unrecognized hardware.
- Missing I/O Shield: Please note that some motherboard packages may not include a rear I/O shield. This component is often sold separately or may need to be sourced independently if required for your chassis.
