5. Close the CPU socket retention mechanism until it locks securely.
6. Pasang penyejuk CPU mengikut arahan pengeluarnya.

5.2 RAM Installation (DDR5)

1. Locate the 8 DDR5 DIMM slots on the motherboard.
2. Open the retention clips at both ends of the DIMM slot.
3. Selaraskan takuk pada modul memori DDR5 dengan kunci dalam slot DIMM.
4. Insert the memory module firmly into the slot until the retention clips snap into place. Ensure both clips are closed.
5. For optimal performance, refer to the motherboard's manual for recommended memory population order.

5.3 Pemasangan Kad PCIe

1. Identify the appropriate PCIe slot for your expansion card (e.g., GPU, RAID card).
2. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from your chassis.
3. Align the PCIe card with the slot and press down firmly until it is fully seated.
4. Secure the card with a screw or retention clip to the chassis.

5.4 Pemasangan Peranti Storan

• Pemacu SATA: Connect SATA data cables from the motherboard's SATA ports to your SATA hard drives or SSDs. Connect power cables from the PSU to the drives.
• NVMe M.2 Drives: Locate the M.2 slots. Insert the M.2 drive at an angle, then push it down and secure it with the provided screw or retention mechanism.

5.5 Sambungan Kuasa

• Sambungkan penyambung kuasa ATX 24-pin daripada bekalan kuasa anda ke soket kuasa utama pada papan induk.
• Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4 pin) EPS 12V CPU power connector(s) to the corresponding sockets near the CPU.
• Pastikan semua sambungan kuasa selamat.

5.6 Sambungan Panel Hadapan
