5.2 Installazione dei moduli RAM

1. Aprire le clip su entrambe le estremità degli slot di memoria DDR3.
2. Allineare la tacca sul modulo RAM con la chiave nello slot di memoria.
3. Press down firmly on both ends of the RAM module until the clips snap into place, securing the module.
4. For optimal performance, install RAM modules in matching pairs across the four channels as indicated in the motherboard manual or silkscreen.

5.4 Collegamento dell'alimentazione

1. Collegare il connettore di alimentazione ATX a 24 pin dell'alimentatore (PSU) alla porta corrispondente sulla scheda madre.
2. Connect the 8-pin CPU power connector (EPS12V) from your PSU to the 8-pin port near the CPU socket.

5.5 Installazione delle schede di espansione (PCIe)

1. Locate the desired PCI-E 3.0 x16 or x1 slots.
2. Rimuovere il coperchio dello slot di espansione corrispondente dal case del PC.
3. Align the expansion card with the slot and press down firmly until it is fully seated. Secure the card with a screw to the case.

6. Funzionamento della scheda madre

6.1 Primo avvio e configurazione del BIOS

1. Dopo aver assemblato tutti i componenti, collega il monitor, la tastiera e il mouse.
2. Power on your system. During the initial boot sequence, repeatedly press the DEL or F2 key (common for JINGSHA motherboards) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
3. Nel BIOS, verificare che tutti i componenti installati (CPU, RAM, storage) siano rilevati correttamente.
4. Configura l'ordine di avvio per dare priorità al supporto di installazione del sistema operativo (unità USB o DVD).
5. Salvare le modifiche ed uscire dal BIOS. Il sistema verrà riavviato.

6.2 Installazione del sistema operativo

Follow the instructions provided with your operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux) to complete the installation process. Ensure you install all necessary drivers for the motherboard's chipsets, network, audio, and other components from the manufacturer's websito o disco driver incluso.

7. Manutenzione

Una corretta manutenzione garantisce la longevità e il funzionamento stabile della scheda madre.

• Rimozione della polvere: Pulire regolarmente la scheda madre e i componenti dalla polvere utilizzando aria compressa. Assicurarsi che il sistema sia spento e scollegato prima di procedere alla pulizia.
• Aggiornamenti del BIOS: Periodically check the Docooler or JINGSHA official website for BIOS updates. BIOS updates can improve compatibility, stability, and performance. Follow update instructions carefully to avoid damaging the motherboard.
• Aggiornamenti driver: Mantieni aggiornati i driver del tuo sistema per garantire prestazioni ottimali e compatibilità con nuovi software e hardware.
• Condizioni ambientali: Operate the motherboard in a well-ventilated environment with stable temperature and humidity to prevent overheating and component degradation.

8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Questa sezione affronta i problemi più comuni che potresti incontrare.

8.1 Nessuna alimentazione / Nessun avvio

• Assicurarsi che i connettori di alimentazione ATX a 24 pin e CPU a 8 pin siano saldamente collegati alla scheda madre.
• Check if the power supply unit (PSU) is switched on and connected to a working power outlet.
• Verify that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's header.

8.2 Nessuna uscita di visualizzazione

• Ensure your graphics card (if dedicated) is properly seated in its PCI-E slot and has all necessary power cables connected.
• Check that your monitor cable is securely connected to the graphics card or motherboard (if integrated graphics are used, though X99 typically requires a dedicated GPU).
• Try reseating your RAM modules. Incorrectly seated RAM is a common cause of no display.

8.3 POST Code Display (Digital Diagnostic Card)

The motherboard is equipped with a digital diagnostic card (POST code display) that shows a two-digit code during boot-up. Refer to the motherboard's detailed technical documentation (often available on the manufacturer's website) for a list of POST codes and their meanings. This can help pinpoint the exact component causing a boot failure.
