Before installing the motherboard, ensure your computer case is compatible with the ATX form factor. Handle the motherboard by its edges to avoid static discharge.
- Undirbúið málið: Settu I/O skjöldinn í aftari opnun tölvukassans.
- Setjið upp örgjörvann: Carefully open the LGA 1155 socket lever, align the CPU with the socket (matching the golden triangle on the CPU to the triangle on the socket), gently place the CPU into the socket, and close the lever to secure it.
- Setja upp örgjörvakælirinn: Mount the compatible CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions.
- Setja upp minniseiningar: Open the clips of the DDR3 DIMM slots. Align the memory modules with the slots, ensuring the notch on the module matches the key in the slot. Press down firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place. For dual-channel operation, refer to the motherboard manual for recommended slot configurations.
- Setjið móðurborðið upp: Carefully place the motherboard into the case, aligning the screw holes with the stand-offs. Secure the motherboard with screws. Note: The P8H67-V has 6 stand-off mounts. For areas lacking support, such as near the RAM slots and SATA connectors, consider using a non-conductive wedge underneath when plugging in components to prevent flexing.
3.2 Tengingar íhluta
Connect all necessary power cables, data cables, and front panel connectors to the motherboard.
- Rafmagnstengi: Tengdu 24 pinna ATX aðalrafmagnstengið og 8 pinna örgjörvans aflgjafann við móðurborðið.
- SATA tæki: Connect your storage drives (HDDs, SSDs, optical drives) to the SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3_0, SATA3_1) or SATA 3 Gb/s (SATA2_0 to SATA2_3) ports.
- IDE tæki: If using an older IDE optical drive or HDD, connect it to the UltraDMA 133/100/66 (IDE) port.
- Tengi að framan: Tengdu rofann, endurstillingarhnappinn, LED-ljós fyrir harða diskinn, afl-LED-ljósið og USB/hljóðtengi á framhliðinni við viðkomandi pinna á móðurborðinu. Sjá skýringarmynd móðurborðsins til að sjá réttar pinnaúthlutun.
- Tengingar að aftan: Connect peripherals such as keyboard/mouse (PS/2), USB devices (USB 2.0/3.0), Ethernet cable (RJ-45), and display cables (HDMI, DVI, VGA) to the rear I/O panel.
