4. Inserire delicatamente la CPU nel socket senza forzarla.
5. Close the load plate and push the lever back into place until it clicks.

2. Installazione della memoria (RAM)

1. Identify the four DDR4 DIMM slots. For dual-channel operation, install memory modules into slots A2 and B2 first.
2. Aprire le clip su entrambe le estremità dello slot DIMM.
3. Allineare la tacca sul modulo di memoria con la chiave nello slot DIMM.
4. Premere con decisione su entrambe le estremità del modulo di memoria finché le clip non scattano in posizione.

3. Installazione dell'archiviazione (SSD M.2 e unità SATA)

1. SSD M.2: Locate the M.2 slots. Remove the M.2 screw and standoff. Insert the M.2 SSD into the slot at an angle, then gently push it down and secure it with the standoff and screw. Note that one M.2 slot is labeled 'Ultra M.2' and may have a thermal pad.
2. Unità SATA: Connect SATA data cables from your SSDs/HDDs to the SATA3 ports on the motherboard. Connect power cables from your power supply to the drives.

2. Rimuovere il coperchio dello slot di espansione corrispondente dal case del PC.
3. Align the graphics card with the PCIe slot and press down firmly until it is seated correctly and the retention clip locks.
4. Fissare la scheda alla custodia con una vite.

5. Collegamento di periferiche e alimentazione

1. Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin 12V CPU power connector from your power supply to the motherboard.
2. Connect front panel connectors (power button, reset button, USB ports, audio jacks) to their respective headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard diagram in the Quick Installation Guide for exact locations.
3. Install the I/O shield into your PC case before installing the motherboard.
4. Mount the motherboard into the PC case using standoffs and screws.

Risoluzione dei problemi

In caso di problemi, fare riferimento ai seguenti passaggi comuni per la risoluzione dei problemi:

• Nessuna alimentazione/Nessun avvio: Double-check all power connections (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU power). Ensure the power supply switch is on. Try reseating RAM modules.
• Nessuna visualizzazione: Ensure your monitor is connected to the correct video output (either motherboard or discrete GPU). Try reseating the graphics card.
• SSD M.2 non rilevato: Verify the M.2 SSD is fully seated and secured. Check BIOS settings to ensure the M.2 slot is enabled and not conflicting with SATA ports (refer to your motherboard manual for specific configurations).
• Instabilità/arresti anomali del sistema: This can often be related to RAM. Ensure RAM is properly seated and running at stable speeds (try disabling XMP if enabled). Check CPU and GPU temperatures.
• Problemi del sistema operativo: Ensure all drivers are installed correctly. Consider reinstalling the operating system if software corruption is suspected.
