4. Cuir am modúl cuimhne gu daingeann a-steach don t-slot gus an gliog na cliopan nan àite. Dèan cinnteach gu bheil an dà chriomag dùinte gu tur.

3.5. Ceangal Inneal Stòraidh

1. Connect SATA data cables from your storage devices (HDD/SSD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard.
2. Connect the SATA power cables from your power supply to the storage devices.

3.6. Ceangal solar cumhachd

1. Ceangail am prìomh cheanglaiche cumhachd ATX 24-pin bhon t-solar cumhachd agad ris a’ cheann-sgrìobhaidh co-fhreagarrach air a’ bhòrd-màthar.
2. Connect the 4-pin or 8-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector to the appropriate header near the CPU socket.

3.7. Ceanglaichean Pannal Aghaidh

Connect the power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, and front panel USB/audio headers to their respective pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.

3.8. Stàladh Cairt Leudachaidh

Insert any necessary expansion cards (e.g., graphics card, sound card) into the appropriate PCIe x16, PCIe x1, or PCI slots. Secure them with screws to the chassis.

4. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh

4.1. Ciad Boot

After assembling all components, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on the system. The system should display the BIOS POST screen. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section.

4.2. Suidheachadh BIOS/UEFI

During the POST process, press the designated key (usually DEL or F2) to enter the BIOS setup utility. Here you can configure boot order, system time, and other hardware settings. Save changes before exiting.
