5.2 Instalación da CPU
- Localiza o socket AM4 na placa base.
- Lift the small metal lever on the side of the socket.
- Carefully align the triangular mark on your AMD Ryzen CPU with the corresponding mark on the socket.
- Gently place the CPU into the socket without forcing it. It should drop in easily.
- Lower the metal lever to secure the CPU in place.
- Instala o teu refrigerador de CPU segundo as instrucións do fabricante.
5.3 Instalación da memoria (RAM)
- Localiza as dúas ranuras DIMM DDR4.
- Abra os clips nos dous extremos da ranura DIMM.
- Aliñe a muesca do módulo de memoria DDR4 coa chave da ranura DIMM.
- Insira o módulo de memoria firmemente na ranura ata que os clips encaixen no seu lugar. Asegúrese de que ambos os clips estean pechados.
- For dual-channel performance, install memory modules in both available slots.
5.4 Instalación do dispositivo de almacenamento
Instalación de SSD M.2
- Localice o slot M.2 na placa base.
- Retire o parafuso separador M.2.
- Align the M.2 SSD's notch with the key in the slot and insert it at an angle.
- Prema con coidado o SSD M.2 cara abaixo e asegúreo co parafuso separador.

7. Mantemento
- Mantéñase limpo: Regularly clean dust from your PC components using compressed air. Dust can impede airflow and cause overheating.
- Comproba as conexións: Periodically ensure all cables (power, data, and peripheral) are securely connected.
- Actualizacións da BIOS: Consulte o do fabricante website for BIOS/UEFI updates, especially if you are installing a newer generation Ryzen CPU that was released after the motherboard.
8 Solución de problemas
- Sen enerxía: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) are firmly connected. Check your power supply unit (PSU) and wall outlet.
- Sen visualización: Verify your monitor is connected to the correct video output (either motherboard's integrated graphics or dedicated GPU). Reseat your graphics card and RAM modules.
- O sistema non arranca: Check if the CPU, RAM, and storage devices are correctly installed. Listen for beep codes (if your motherboard has a speaker) which can indicate specific issues.
- Sobrequecemento: Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed and making good contact. Check case fan orientation for optimal airflow.
9. Consellos de usuario
- BIOS Update for Newer CPUs: If you are using a Ryzen 5000 series CPU, you might need to update the motherboard's BIOS to the latest version for full compatibility. This often requires a compatible older CPU or a BIOS Flashback feature (check if your specific board supports it).
- Compatibilidade da RAM: Always check the motherboard's Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for RAM to ensure optimal compatibility and stability, especially when aiming for higher memory speeds (e.g., 3200MHz).
- Xestión de cables Good cable management improves airflow and makes future maintenance easier.
- Batería CMOS: Remember to install a CR2032 CMOS battery if one was not included, as it's essential for maintaining BIOS settings and system time.
