5. Opsætning og installation

Følg disse trin for at installere dit bundkort og de vigtigste komponenter:

5.1 CPU installation

1. Åbn CPU-sokkelhåndtaget, og løft belastningspladen.
2. Juster omhyggeligt CPU'en med soklen, og sørg for, at den gyldne trekant på CPU'en matcher trekanten på soklen.
3. Placer forsigtigt CPU'en i soklen uden at tvinge den.
4. Luk lastpladen og fastgør den med håndtaget.

5.2 Installation af CPU-køler

Install your CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure thermal paste is applied correctly and the cooler is securely mounted.

5.3 Installation af hukommelse (RAM)

1. Åbn klipsene i begge ender af DIMM-pladserne.
2. Juster hakket på DDR4-hukommelsesmodulet med nøglen i DIMM-stikket.
3. Tryk godt ned i begge ender af hukommelsesmodulet, indtil klipsene klikker på plads.

5.4 M.2 SSD installation

1. Find M.2-slottet på bundkortet.
2. Indsæt M.2 SSD'en i stikket i en vinkel.
3. Gently push the SSD down and secure it with the provided M.2 screw.

5.5 Installation af grafikkort (PCIe)

1. Åbn fastholdelsesklipsen på PCIe x16-slottet.
2. Align the graphics card with the slot and press down firmly until it is seated and the clip locks.
3. Fastgør kortet til etuiet med skruer.

5.6 Strømforbindelser

• Tilslut det 24-bens ATX-strømstik fra din strømforsyning til bundkortet.
• Connect the 8-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector to the motherboard.
• Connect SATA power cables to your storage drives and PCIe power cables to your graphics card, if required.

5.7 Frontpanel og andre tilslutninger

Connect the front panel headers (power button, reset button, USB, audio), case fans, and other peripherals to their respective headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard layout diagram in the full manual for exact locations.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1 Første opstart

Når du har samlet alle komponenter, skal du tilslutte din skærm, tastatur og mus. Tænd dit system. Systemet bør vise GIGABYTE-velkomstskærmen.

6.2 BIOS/UEFI-opsætning

For at åbne BIOS/UEFI-opsætningen skal du trykke på DEL key repeatedly during the initial boot-up. Here you can configure:

• Boot-rækkefølge: Set the priority for your operating system drive.
• XMP Profile: Enable XMP for optimal memory performance if your RAM supports it.
• Ventilatorkontrol: Adjust fan speeds for cooling and noise management.
• Systemoplysninger: View details about your CPU, memory, and storage.
