2. Leve levye chajman an dousman epi ouvri kouvèti priz CPU a.
3. Carefully align the CPU with the socket, matching the golden triangle on the CPU with the triangle mark on the socket. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
4. Fèmen kouvèti priz la epi peze levye chajman an desann jiskaske li bloke nan plas li.
5. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the CPU surface (if not pre-applied on the cooler).
6. Install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is securely fastened.

3.3. Enstalasyon RAM

1. Jwenn fant DIMM DDR3 yo sou plak mèr la.
2. Louvri klip yo nan tou de bout fant DIMM lan.
3. Align the notch on the RAM module with the key in the DIMM slot.
4. Peze byen fèm sou tou de bout modil RAM lan jiskaske klip yo kase nan plas yo.

3.4. Montaj Kat Mè

1. Carefully place the motherboard into the chassis, aligning the mounting holes with the standoffs.
2. Sere kat manman an byen sere ak vis, epi asire w ou pa sere yo twòp.

3.5. Konekte Periferik ak Kouran

• Konekte konektè pouvwa ATX 24-pin lan ak konektè pouvwa CPU 4-pin lan ki soti nan ekipman pouvwa ou a ak kat manman an.
• Connect SATA data cables from your storage devices (HDD/SSD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard.
• Connect front panel connectors (power button, reset button, USB, audio) to their respective headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
• Enstale nenpòt kat ekspansyon (pa egzanp, kat grafik) nan fant PCIe ki apwopriye yo epi byen fèmen yo.

4. Operasyon ak Konfigirasyon

4.1. Premye Demaraj

1. After all components are installed and connected, close the chassis.
2. Konekte monitè ou, klavye ou, ak sourit ou.
3. Connect the power cord to the power supply and a wall outlet.
4. Peze bouton pouvwa a sou òdinatè w lan.

4.2. Enstalasyon BIOS/UEFI

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is firmware that initializes hardware during the booting process. To enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility:

• During the initial boot-up sequence, repeatedly press the designated key (commonly Del, F2, oswa F10). The exact key may vary; check the on-screen prompts.
• Within the BIOS/UEFI, you can configure settings such as:
  • Dat ak Lè Sistèm
  • Boot Order (to install an operating system from a USB drive or DVD)
  • SATA Mode (AHCI, IDE)
  • CPU and Memory settings (advanced users)
• Sove chanjman yo epi sòti nan BIOS/UEFI a pou kontinye demaraj.

4.3. Enstalasyon Sistèm Operasyon ak Chofè

After configuring the BIOS/UEFI, proceed with installing your preferred operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux). Once the OS is installed, install the necessary drivers for the motherboard's components (chipset, audio, LAN, etc.). These drivers are typically available on the manufacturer's website (Acer/Gateway) or can be found through the operating system's update features.
