5. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the top of the CPU.
6. Инсталирајте хладњак процесора према упутствима произвођача.

3.3 Installing RAM (DDR3)

1. Locate the DDR3 memory slots (typically blue and black).
2. Отворите копче на оба краја слота за меморију.
3. Align the RAM module with the slot, ensuring the notch on the module matches the key in the slot.
4. Чврсто притисните оба краја РАМ модула док се клипови не уклопе на своје место.

3.4 Инсталирање уређаја за складиштење

Connect your SATA hard drives or SSDs to the SATA ports on the motherboard using SATA data cables. Connect power from your power supply unit (PSU) to the drives.

3.5 Повезивање напајања

1. Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector from your PSU to the corresponding port on the motherboard.
2. Connect the 4-pin or 8-pin CPU power connector from your PSU to the CPU power port near the CPU socket.
3. Connect power to any other components such as graphics cards (if applicable) and storage drives.

3.6 Connecting Front Panel Connectors

Connect the front panel connectors (Power LED, HDD LED, Power Switch, Reset Switch, USB, Audio) from your computer case to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to your computer case manual for specific pin layouts if needed.

3.7 Инсталирање картица за проширење

If installing any PCIe expansion cards (e.g., dedicated graphics card, network card), gently insert them into the appropriate PCIe slots until they are fully seated and secured with the case latch or screw.

4. Операција

4.1 Прво покретање

After all components are installed and connected, close the computer case and connect the power cable, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on the system. The system should display the BIOS/UEFI splash screen.

4.2 Подешавање BIOS-а/UEFI-ја

To enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility, press the designated key (commonly DEL, F2, F10, or F12) during the boot process. In the BIOS, you can configure:

• Boot order (for installing an operating system)
• Системски датум и време
• Подешавања процесора и меморије
• Integrated peripherals

Save changes and exit the BIOS to continue booting or install an operating system.

4.3 Инсталација оперативног система

Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD) and follow the on-screen prompts to install your preferred operating system.

5. Одржавање

5.1 Чишћење

Редовно чистите унутрашњост кућишта рачунара како бисте спречили накупљање прашине, што може довести до прегревања. Користите компримовани ваздух да бисте уклонили прашину са вентилатора, хладњака и компоненти матичне плоче. Уверите се да је систем искључен из струје пре чишћења.

5.2 Замена CMOS батерије

The motherboard includes a CMOS battery (CR2032) which maintains BIOS settings and the system clock. If you experience issues with incorrect time/date or lost BIOS settings, the CMOS battery may need replacement. To replace:

1. Искључите и искључите рачунар.
2. Locate the coin-cell battery on the motherboard.
3. Gently pry out the old battery using a non-conductive tool.
4. Уметните нову CR2032 батерију са позитивном (+) страном окренутом нагоре.
5. Power on the system and reconfigure BIOS settings if necessary.
