• Vaa kamba ya kifundo cha kuzuia tuli au gusa mara kwa mara kitu cha chuma kilichowekwa chini ili kumwaga umeme tuli.
• Hushughulikia vipengele kwa kingo ili kuepuka kugusa sehemu nyeti.

5.2. Ufungaji wa CPU

1. Fungua lever ya tundu la CPU.
2. Carefully align the CPU with the socket, ensuring the gold triangle on the CPU matches the mark on the socket.
3. Weka kwa upole CPU kwenye tundu bila kulazimisha.
4. Funga lever ya soketi ili kuimarisha CPU.

5.3. CPU Cooler Installation

Install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure proper thermal paste application and secure mounting for effective heat dissipation.

5.4. Ufungaji wa Kumbukumbu (RAM).

1. Fungua klipu kwenye ncha zote mbili za slot ya DIMM.
2. Pangilia moduli ya kumbukumbu na yanayopangwa, kuhakikisha notch kwenye moduli inalingana na ufunguo katika slot.
3. Bonyeza chini kwa uthabiti kwenye ncha zote mbili za moduli ya kumbukumbu hadi klipu zibadilike.
4. For dual-channel mode, refer to the motherboard manual for recommended slot pairings.

5.5. Ufungaji wa Kifaa cha Hifadhi

• M.2 SSD: Insert the M.2 SSD into the appropriate slot and secure it with the provided screw.
