4. Instrucións de funcionamento
Once all components are installed, you can power on your system and configure it.
4.1 Configuración da BIOS UEFI
No primeiro arranque, prema a tecla Del or F2 key during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI BIOS. The UEFI BIOS provides a graphical interface for configuring system settings, boot order, and hardware parameters. It supports mouse input for easier navigation.
4.2 Instalación do controlador
After installing your operating system (e.g., Windows 10), install the necessary drivers from the ASUS support website or the provided driver CD. Key drivers include chipset drivers, audio drivers, LAN drivers, and USB 3.0 drivers to ensure optimal performance and functionality.
4.3 Utilizando funcións especiais
- Intel Smart Response Technology: Configure this feature within the BIOS and Intel Rapid Storage Technology software to combine the speed of an SSD with the capacity of an HDD.
- LucidLogix Virtu: Install the Virtu software to enable dynamic switching between the integrated Intel HD Graphics and a discrete graphics card. This allows for power saving when high graphics performance is not needed, and full performance when it is.
- TPU/EPU: These features can be enabled via physical switches on the motherboard or through ASUS AI Suite II software for automatic system optimization and power management.
5. Mantemento
Un mantemento regular axuda a garantir a lonxevidade e o funcionamento estable da túa placa base.
- Actualizacións da BIOS: Consulta periodicamente o soporte técnico de ASUS website for BIOS updates. BIOS updates can improve system stability, add support for new hardware, or fix bugs. Follow the instructions provided by ASUS for safe BIOS flashing.
- Actualizacións de controladores: Keep your system drivers updated. Outdated drivers can lead to performance issues or instability.
- Limpeza física: Regularly clean dust from inside your computer case, especially from the motherboard, CPU cooler, and fan vents. Use compressed air and ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
6 Solución de problemas
Se tes problemas, ten en conta os seguintes pasos para solucionalos:
- Sen alimentación/Sen arranque: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU) are securely connected. Verify the power supply is functional. Check if the CPU and RAM are correctly seated.
- Sen visualización: Confirm the monitor is connected to the correct video output (either integrated graphics or discrete graphics card). Reseat the graphics card and RAM modules.
- Inestabilidade/fallos do sistema: This can be caused by overheating, faulty RAM, or unstable overclocking settings. Check CPU and GPU temperatures. Test RAM modules individually. If overclocking, revert to default BIOS settings.
- Sleep/Resume Issues with Overclocking: If experiencing issues resuming from sleep or system crashes during overclocking, particularly when PLL Overvoltage is enabled, try disabling PLL Overvoltage in the UEFI BIOS. Some configurations may be unstable with this setting enabled.
- Periférico non detectado: Ensure the device is properly connected. Install the latest drivers for the peripheral and the motherboard's chipset. Test the device in a different port.
- Reinicio da BIOS: If the system becomes unbootable due to incorrect BIOS settings, clear the CMOS by either removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes or using the CLRTC jumper on the motherboard (refer to the detailed motherboard manual for jumper location).
