2.2. CPU Installation (Socket 478)

1. Aprire il socket della CPU: Lift the lever on the Socket 478 CPU socket.
2. Inserisci CPU: Align the triangular mark on the Intel Pentium 4 CPU with the corresponding mark on the socket. Gently place the CPU into the socket. Do not force it.
3. CPU sicura: Lower the lever to lock the CPU into place.
4. Installare il dissipatore della CPU: Note: A CPU cooler is NOT included with this product. Install a compatible Socket 478 CPU cooler (fan and heatsink) according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure proper thermal paste application and secure mounting for effective cooling.

2.3. RAM Installation (DDR)

1. Aprire le clip dello slot RAM: Open the retention clips at both ends of the DDR RAM slots.
2. Inserire i moduli RAM: Align the notch on the DDR RAM module with the key in the RAM slot. Press down firmly on both ends of the module until the clips snap into place.

2.4. Collegamento di periferiche

1. Connettori di alimentazione: Collegare il connettore di alimentazione principale ATX a 20 pin e il connettore di alimentazione ATX a 4 pin da 12 V dall'alimentatore alla scheda madre.
2. Dispositivi di archiviazione: Connect SATA drives to the SATA ports and IDE drives to the IDE connectors on the motherboard.
3. Schede di espansione: Install AGP graphics cards into the AGP slot and other expansion cards (e.g., sound cards, network cards) into the PCI slots.
4. Connettori del pannello frontale: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, and power LED cables from your chassis front panel to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
5. USB and Audio: Connect front panel USB and audio headers if available on your chassis.

3. Istruzioni per l'uso

3.1. Avvio iniziale

1. Accensione: After all components are securely installed and connected, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on your system.
2. Accesso al BIOS: Durante la sequenza di avvio iniziale, premere il tasto designato (comunemente DEL, F2, O F10) to enter the BIOS setup utility. Consult your screen for the exact key prompt.
3. Configurazione del BIOS: Configure boot order, date/time, and other system settings as needed. Save changes and exit the BIOS.

3.2. Installazione del sistema operativo

Insert your operating system installation media (e.g., CD/DVD) and follow the on-screen prompts to install the operating system. Ensure all necessary drivers for the chipset, audio, and network are installed after the OS installation for optimal performance.

4. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare contribuisce a garantire la longevità e il funzionamento stabile della scheda madre.

• Rimozione della polvere: Periodically open your computer case and use compressed air to remove dust buildup from the motherboard, CPU cooler, and other components. Dust can impede airflow and cause overheating.
• Verifiche della connessione: Ensure all power cables, data cables, and expansion cards are securely seated. Loose connections can lead to system instability.
• Batteria BIOS: The motherboard uses a CR2032 coin cell battery to retain BIOS settings. If your system consistently loses time or BIOS settings, the battery may need replacement.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Questa sezione affronta i problemi più comuni che potresti incontrare.

• Nessuna alimentazione/Nessun POST:
  • Verify all power cables (20-pin ATX, 4-pin 12V) are securely connected.
  • Ensure the CPU and RAM are correctly installed.
  • Check that the power supply is functioning correctly.
  • Remove all non-essential components (e.g., extra RAM, expansion cards) and attempt to boot with only the CPU, one RAM stick, and the graphics card.
• Nessuna visualizzazione:
  • Ensure the monitor is connected to the graphics card (AGP) and powered on.
  • Reseat the graphics card. Try a different graphics card if available.
  • Check RAM installation. Faulty or improperly seated RAM can prevent display output.
• Instabilità/arresti anomali del sistema:
  • Check CPU and chipset temperatures. Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed and fan is spinning.
  • Eseguire strumenti di diagnostica della memoria per verificare la presenza di RAM difettosa.
  • Assicurarsi che tutti i driver siano aggiornati.
  • Verificare la presenza di collegamenti allentati o cavi danneggiati.
• Ripristino del BIOS: To clear CMOS settings, locate the CLR_CMOS jumper on the motherboard (refer to the silkscreen). With the system powered off and unplugged, move the jumper from pins 1-2 to 2-3 for 5-10 seconds, then return it to 1-2. Alternatively, remove the BIOS battery for a few minutes.
