3.1. മദർബോർഡ് മൗണ്ടിംഗ്

1. Carefully place the motherboard into the computer chassis, aligning the screw holes with the standoffs in the case.
2. Secure the motherboard using appropriate screws. Do not overtighten.

3.2. CPU Installation (Socket 5)

1. Locate the Socket 5 on the motherboard.
2. Lift the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) lever on the CPU socket.
3. Align the CPU with the socket, ensuring the notched corner of the CPU matches the corresponding corner on the socket. Gently place the CPU into the socket without force.
4. Lower the ZIF lever to secure the CPU.
5. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the top of the CPU (if not pre-applied to the heatsink).
6. Install the CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensuring it is securely attached and the fan power cable is connected to the appropriate header on the motherboard.

3.3. റാം ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ

The motherboard features 4 RAM memory slots.

1. Open the clips at both ends of the RAM slot.

3.5. Power and Data Connections

• AT Power Connector: Connect the main AT power supply connector from your power supply unit to the corresponding header on the motherboard.
• IDE/Floppy Connectors: Connect IDE cables for hard drives and CD-ROM drives, and a floppy drive cable to their respective headers.
• ഫ്രണ്ട് പാനൽ കണക്ടറുകൾ: Connect the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, and power LED cables from your case to the front panel header. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct pin assignments.
• Peripheral Connectors: Connect any other necessary cables such as USB headers (if available), audio headers, etc.

4. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

4.1. Initial Boot

After all components are installed and connected, connect the power cord to your power supply and turn on the system. The system should perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST).

4.2. ബയോസ് സജ്ജീകരണം

During the POST, press the designated key (commonly DEL, F2, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ F10) to enter the BIOS setup utility. Here you can configure system settings such as boot order, date/time, and various hardware parameters. Save changes before exiting.

4.3. ഓപ്പറേറ്റിംഗ് സിസ്റ്റം ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ

Once the BIOS is configured, you can proceed with installing your desired operating system from a bootable CD-ROM or floppy disk, depending on your system's capabilities and the OS requirements.

5. പരിപാലനം

Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan and ensure stable operation of your motherboard and system.

• പൊടി നീക്കം: Periodically open your computer case and use compressed air to remove dust buildup from the motherboard, CPU heatsink, and fan. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• ഘടക പരിശോധന: Visually inspect capacitors for bulging or leakage, and check all cable connections for security.
• ബയോസ് അപ്‌ഡേറ്റുകൾ: While less common for older hardware, check the manufacturer's website (if available) for any BIOS updates that might improve stability or compatibility. Exercise caution when updating BIOS.
