3. Poravnajte zarezo na pomnilniškem modulu DDR5 s ključem v reži DIMM.
4. Insert the memory module firmly into the slot until the retention clips snap into place. Ensure both clips are closed.
5. For optimal performance, refer to the motherboard's manual for recommended memory population order.

5.3 Namestitev kartice PCIe

1. Identify the appropriate PCIe slot for your expansion card (e.g., GPU, RAID card).
2. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from your chassis.
3. Align the PCIe card with the slot and press down firmly until it is fully seated.
4. Secure the card with a screw or retention clip to the chassis.

5.4 Namestitev pomnilniške naprave

• SATA pogoni: 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 Napajalni priključki

• 24-pinski ATX napajalni priključek iz napajalnika priključite na glavno napajalno vtičnico na matični plošči.
• Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4 pin) EPS 12V CPU power connector(s) to the corresponding sockets near the CPU.
• Prepričajte se, da so vse napajalne povezave varne.

5.6 Priključki sprednje plošče

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. Navodila za uporabo
