2. Шассиге орнотуу

• Монтаждоо: Install the necessary standoffs in your computer case that align with the motherboard's mounting holes. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs and secure it with screws. Do not overtighten.
• Туташуу күчү: Кубат булагыңыздагы 24-пиндүү ATX негизги кубат туташтыргычын жана 4-пиндүү ATX 12V кубат туташтыргычын энелик платадагы тиешелүү розеткаларга туташтырыңыз.
• Алдыңкы панелдин туташтыргычтары: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, and power LED cables from your chassis front panel to the designated pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
• USB жана аудио туташтыргычтар: Connect the front panel USB and audio cables to their respective headers on the motherboard.
• Сактагыч түзмөктөр: Connect SATA data cables from your hard drives or SSDs to the SATA ports on the motherboard. Connect the power cables from your power supply to these devices.
• Кеңейтүү карталары: If installing a discrete graphics card or other PCI/PCIe expansion cards, insert them firmly into the appropriate slots and secure them with the case's retention mechanism.

Иштөө нускамалары

Once all components are installed and connected, you can proceed with initial power-on and operating system installation.

1. Баштапкы күйгүзүү жана BIOS орнотуулары

• Биринчи жүктөө: Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on your system. The system should display the BIOS POST screen.
• BIOS кирүү: During POST, press the DEL key (or as indicated on screen) to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
• Негизги конфигурация: In the BIOS, set the correct date and time. Verify that all installed components (CPU, RAM, storage) are detected correctly. Configure the boot order to prioritize your operating system installation media (e.g., USB drive or DVD-ROM).
• Сактоо жана чыгуу: Өзгөртүүлөрдү сактап, BIOSтон чыгыңыз. Система кайра жүктөлөт.

2. Операция системасы жана драйверди орнотуу
