5. Installatie en installatie

Volg deze stappen zorgvuldig om uw moederbord en de bijbehorende componenten te installeren.

5.1. Controles vóór installatie

• Ensure your computer case is compatible with the Micro BTX form factor.
• Prepare your CPU, CPU cooler, and DDR2 memory modules.
• Have a Phillips head screwdriver and anti-static wrist strap ready.

5.2. CPU-installatie

1. Zoek de LGA 775 CPU-socket op het moederbord.
2. Duw de laadhendel voorzichtig naar beneden en trek hem opzij om het bevestigingsframe van de dop te openen.
3. Carefully align the CPU with the socket, ensuring the gold triangle on the CPU matches the triangle on the socket. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
4. Sluit het bevestigingsframe en zet het vast met de lasthendel.
5. Apply thermal paste to the CPU (if not pre-applied on the cooler) and install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions.

5.3. Geheugen (RAM) installatie

1. Open de clips aan beide uiteinden van de DDR2 DIMM-sleuven.
2. Zorg dat de inkeping op de geheugenmodule gelijk ligt met de sleutel in de DIMM-sleuf.
3. Druk stevig op beide uiteinden van de geheugenmodule totdat de clips vastklikken.
4. For dual-channel performance, install memory modules in matching colored slots (refer to motherboard diagram for specific pairing).

5.4. Installatie van de uitbreidingskaart

• PCI Express x16: For a graphics card. Remove the corresponding slot cover from your case, align the card, and press firmly until it seats in the slot. Secure with a screw.
• PCI Express x1 / PCI Slots: For other expansion cards (e.g., sound cards, network cards). Follow the same procedure as for the graphics card.

5.5. Aansluiting van opslagapparaten

• SATA-apparaten: Connect one end of a SATA data cable to a SATA connector on the motherboard and the other end to your SATA hard drive or SSD. Connect a SATA power cable from your power supply to the device.
• IDE-apparaten: Connect the IDE cable to the IDE connector on the motherboard and to your IDE hard drive or optical drive. Ensure the red stripe on the cable aligns with Pin 1 on both the motherboard and the device. Connect a 4-pin Molex power cable from your power supply to the device.
• Floppydrive: Connect the floppy cable to the floppy connector on the motherboard and to your floppy drive.

5.6. Connectoren op het voorpaneel

Connect the power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, and front panel audio/USB headers from your case to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard diagram for exact pin assignments.

5.7. Voedingsaansluiting

• Sluit de 24-pins ATX-voedingsconnector van uw voeding aan op de hoofdaansluiting op het moederbord.
• Connect the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector to the CPU power socket.

5.8. Montage van het moederbord

Carefully place the motherboard into your computer case, aligning the screw holes with the standoffs. Secure the motherboard with screws, ensuring it is firmly seated but not overtightened.

6. Gebruiksaanwijzing

6.1. Eerste keer opstarten

After completing all hardware installations, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Plug in the power cord and press the power button on your computer case. The system should power on and display the BIOS POST screen.

6.2. BIOS-instellingen

Om het BIOS-instellingenprogramma te openen, drukt u op de VERDELEN or F2 key repeatedly during the POST screen (the exact key may vary, check the screen prompt). In the BIOS, you can configure boot order, system time, and other hardware settings. Save changes before exiting.

6.3. Stuurprogramma-installatie

Once your operating system is installed, install the necessary drivers from the provided driver CD/DVD or download the latest versions from the Intel support website. This includes chipset drivers, graphics drivers (for integrated GMA 950), audio drivers, and LAN drivers.

7. Onderhoud

Regelmatig onderhoud zorgt ervoor dat uw moederbord lang meegaat en stabiel presteert.

• Stofvrij maken: Periodically clean dust from inside your computer case, especially around the CPU cooler, chipset heatsinks, and fan vents. Use compressed air and ensure the system is powered off and unplugged.
