2. Postavljanje i instalacija

Before installation, ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Wear an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to components.

2.1. Priprema slučaja

Install the I/O shield into the rear opening of your computer case. Ensure it snaps securely into place.

2.2. Instalacija CPU-a

1. Pronađite LGA 1151 CPU socket na matičnoj ploči.
2. Lagano pritisnite polugu za opterećenje prema dolje i povucite je u stranu da biste otvorili okvir za zadržavanje CPU utičnice.
3. Carefully align the notches on your Intel 8th Gen processor with the keys on the socket. Ensure the gold triangle on the CPU matches the triangle on the socket.
4. Place the CPU gently into the socket without forcing it.
5. Zatvorite okvir za zadržavanje i vratite polugu za opterećenje u zaključani položaj.
6. Nanesite tanki, ravnomjerni sloj termalne paste na vrh procesora.
7. Instalirajte hladnjak CPU-a prema uputama proizvođača, pazeći da čvrsto prianja uz CPU.

2.3. Instalacija RAM-a

The H310CH5-M2 motherboard features two DDR4 DIMM slots.

1. Otvorite kopče na oba kraja DIMM utora.
2. Poravnajte zarez na DDR4 memorijskom modulu s ključem u DIMM utoru.
3. Čvrsto umetnite memorijski modul u utor dok se kopče ne uklope na svoje mjesto. Provjerite da li su obje kopče zatvorene.

2.4. Ugradnja matične ploče u kućište

1. Align the motherboard with the standoffs in your computer case.
2. Secure the motherboard with screws, ensuring it is firmly mounted but not overtightened.

2.5. Povezivanje perifernih uređaja i napajanja

• Konektori napajanja: Spojite 24-pinski ATX konektor za napajanje i 4-pinski konektor za napajanje procesora iz vašeg napajanja na matičnu ploču.
• Uređaji za pohranu: Connect SATA data cables from your storage drives (HDD/SSD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard. Connect SATA power cables from your power supply to the drives.
• Konektori prednje ploče: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, power LED, and front panel USB/audio headers to their respective pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard diagram for correct pin assignments.
• Kartice za proširenje: Install any graphics cards or other PCIe expansion cards into the appropriate PCIe slots and secure them.

3. Uputstvo za upotrebu

3.1. Prvo pokretanje i podešavanje BIOS-a

1. Nakon povezivanja svih komponenti i napajanja, uključite sistem.
2. Tokom pokretanja, više puta pritisnite DEL or F2 key (check your screen for the exact key) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
3. In the BIOS, configure boot order, set system time, and verify detected hardware. Save changes and exit.

3.2. Instalacija operativnog sistema

Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD) and boot from it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install your preferred operating system (e.g., Windows 10, as supported by this platform).

• Audio drajveri: Za funkcionalnost zvuka.
• LAN drajveri: Za mrežnu povezanost.
• Drajveri za grafiku: If using integrated graphics, for display output.

4. Održavanje

Redovno održavanje pomaže u osiguravanju dugotrajnosti i stabilnog rada vaše matične ploče i sistema.

• Uklanjanje prašine: Periodically clean dust from inside your computer case, especially from heatsinks and fans, using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Ažuriranja BIOS-a: Check the ECS ELITEGROUP website for BIOS updates. Update the BIOS only if necessary and follow the instructions carefully to avoid system instability.
• Ažuriranja drajvera: Keep your drivers updated to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

5. Otkrivanje problema

Ovaj odjeljak pruža rješenja za uobičajene probleme s kojima se možete susresti.

No Power / System Does Not Turn On:

• Check if the power supply is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU power).
• Provjerite je li prekidač za napajanje u položaju 'UKLJUČENO'.
• Verify that the front panel power switch connector is correctly attached to the motherboard header.
• Test the power supply with another system or a power supply tester.

Nema izlaza za prikaz:

• Provjerite je li monitor povezan na ispravan video izlaz (ili integriranu grafiku na matičnoj ploči ili namjensku grafičku karticu).
• Check if the RAM modules are properly seated in their slots. Try reseating them.
• If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is fully seated in the PCIe slot and any required PCIe power connectors are attached.
• Pokušajte pokrenuti sistem samo s jednom RAM memorijom.

Nestabilnost sistema / Nasumični padovi sistema:

• Check CPU and GPU temperatures to ensure they are not overheating.
• Provjerite jesu li svi upravljački programi ispravno instalirani i ažurirani.
• Pokrenite dijagnostički alat za memoriju da biste provjerili da li ima neispravnog RAM-a.
• Ensure the power supply provides sufficient and stable power to all components.

Operativni sistem se ne pokreće:

• Check the boot order in the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the correct drive is selected.
• Verify that the SATA data and power cables for your boot drive are securely connected.
