3. Align the PCIe card with the slot and press down firmly until it is fully seated.
4. Pričvrstite karticu vijkom ili kopčom za kućište.

5.4 Instalacija uređaja za pohranu

• SATA diskovi: Connect SATA data cables from the motherboard's SATA ports to your SATA hard drives or SSDs. Connect power cables from the PSU to the drives.
• NVMe M.2 Drives: Locate the M.2 slots. Insert the M.2 drive at an angle, then push it down and secure it with the provided screw or retention mechanism.

5.5 Priključci za napajanje

• Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector from your power supply to the main power socket on the motherboard.
• Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4 pin) EPS 12V CPU power connector(s) to the corresponding sockets near the CPU.
• Provjerite jesu li svi priključci za napajanje sigurni.

5.6 Priključci prednje ploče

Connect the front panel cables (Power LED, HDD LED, Power Switch, Reset Switch, USB, Audio) from your chassis to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard's silkscreen labels or the detailed manual for exact pin configurations.

6. Upute za rad

• Povezivanje monitora: Ensure the monitor is properly connected to the graphics output (either integrated or discrete GPU) and is powered on.
• Grafička kartica: If using a discrete graphics card, ensure it is fully seated in its PCIe slot and has all necessary power connectors from the PSU.
• Integrirana grafika: If your CPU supports integrated graphics, try connecting the monitor to the motherboard's video output to rule out a discrete GPU issue.

8.3 Operating System Not Booting

• Redoslijed pokretanja: Check the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the correct boot device (e.g., SSD, HDD) is selected as the primary boot option.
• Drive Connections: Verify that your storage drives are properly connected (data and power).
