3. Postavljanje i instalacija

Follow these steps carefully to install your Intel D945GCNL motherboard into a compatible computer chassis.

1. priprema: Ensure you are working in a static-free environment. Use an anti-static wrist strap or frequently touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity. Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, thermal paste, and your compatible components (CPU, RAM, power supply, storage).
2. Instalacija procesora:
   • Pronađite LGA775 utor za procesor na matičnoj ploči.
   • Gently lift the load lever and open the CPU retention plate.
   • Align the Intel Core 2 DUO processor with the socket, matching the gold triangle on the CPU to the triangle on the socket. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
   • Close the retention plate and secure the load lever.
   • Nanesite tanki, ravnomjerni sloj termalne paste na vrh procesora.
   • Install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it makes firm contact with the CPU.
3. Instalacija RAM-a:
   • Identify the two DDR2 DIMM slots.
   • Otvorite kopče na oba kraja utora za RAM memoriju.
   • Align the notch on the DDR2 SDRAM module with the key in the slot.
   • Čvrsto pritisnite oba kraja memorijskog modula dok se kopče ne uklope na svoje mjesto.
4. Montaža matične ploče:
   • Install standoffs in your computer chassis that align with the screw holes on the D945GCNL motherboard.
   • Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs, ensuring the rear I/O ports align with the chassis' I/O shield (if available).
   • Secure the motherboard with screws, but do not overtighten.
5. Priključci za napajanje:
   • Spojite 24-pinski ATX glavni konektor za napajanje iz vašeg napajanja na odgovarajući priključak na matičnoj ploči.
   • Connect the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector (CPU power) to its designated header near the CPU socket.
6. Periferne veze:
   • Connect SATA or IDE cables for storage drives (hard drives, SSDs, optical drives).
   • Connect front panel headers (power button, reset button, HDD LED, power LED, front USB, front audio) to their respective pins on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels for correct orientation.
   • Install any necessary expansion cards (e.g., graphics card) into the PCI or PCI Express slots and secure them.

4. Upute za rad

Once the motherboard and all components are installed, you can proceed with initial system startup.

1. Početno pokretanje: Connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on the system. The system should display the BIOS splash screen.
2. Pristup BIOS-u/UEFI-ju: Tijekom pokretanja, više puta pritisnite F2 or Izbrisati key (depending on BIOS version) to enter the BIOS setup utility. Here you can configure boot order, system time, and other hardware settings.
3. Instalacija operativnog sustava: Insert your operating system installation media (USB drive or DVD) and configure the boot order in BIOS to boot from it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install your preferred operating system.
4. Instalacija upravljačkog programa: After the operating system is installed, install the necessary drivers for the motherboard's chipset, audio, network, and integrated graphics. These drivers are typically available on Intel's official support webmjesto.

5. Održavanje

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and stable performance of your motherboard.

• Uklanjanje prašine: Periodically clean the interior of your computer case, especially the motherboard and CPU cooler, using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Ažuriranja BIOS-a: Check Intel's official website for the latest BIOS updates. BIOS updates can improve compatibility, stability, and performance. Follow Intel's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS to avoid system damage.
• Ažuriranja upravljačkih programa: Keep your system drivers updated. Visit the Intel support website for the latest chipset, audio, and network drivers for the D945GCNL motherboard.

6. Rješavanje problema

Ako naiđete na probleme s matičnom pločom, pogledajte sljedeće uobičajene korake za rješavanje problema:

• Sustav se ne uključuje:
  • Verify that the power supply is connected correctly to both the motherboard (24-pin and 4-pin connectors) and the wall outlet.
  • Provjerite je li kabel gumba za napajanje na prednjoj ploči ispravno spojen na priključak matične ploče.
  • Test the power supply with another system or a power supply tester if possible.
• Nema prikaza (nema POST-a):
  • Check that the monitor is properly connected to the motherboard's VGA port or a dedicated graphics card.
  • Reseat the RAM modules. Try booting with only one RAM module installed.
  • Ensure the CPU and CPU cooler are correctly installed and the CPU power cable is connected.
  • Listen for any beep codes from the motherboard, which can indicate specific hardware issues. Consult the Intel support website for beep code interpretations.
• Periferni uređaji nisu otkriveni:
  • Verify that USB devices are connected to functional USB ports.
  • Ensure SATA/IDE cables are securely connected to both the motherboard and the storage device.
  • Check device manager in your operating system for driver issues or unrecognized hardware.
• Missing I/O Shield: Please note that some motherboard packages may not include a rear I/O shield. This component is often sold separately or may need to be sourced independently if required for your chassis.
