7 Easy Tips on How to Setup Motherboard (For Beginners)

Replacing the motherboard is not something difficult. Not required diploma or intelligence genius to be able to do. It is only necessary rigor and willingness. To do so, I will provide a guide for you.

    
Special attention to the jumper.
Until now there is no standard layout for a jumper on the motherboard. This is because industrial motherboard manufacturer, has its own layout design. Although not striking between each manufacturer. However, for the first time you install a new motherboard, we recommend to read the manuals. Because not all motherboard products, has an explanation text that was printed on the motherboard PCB. Do not second-guessing for this.


    Screw technology.
Quite difficult to determine the appropriate category for this. Before installing the motherboard, most casing equipped screw pretty much. Optimize use. Keep all points motherboard installed screw fastener holes. Thus, the motherboard can be installed with adhesive on the casing. But of course it must not attach. Adjust the length and size of the screws match the holes are used.

    
Use I / O Shield.
An iron plate which serves to close the gap that there is between the input / output connector from the motherboard. By pairing the iron plate, in addition to the computer will look neat, the computer will also be covered so as not accessible by dirt or insects. I / O Shield is usually supplied in the sales package of a motherboard. Specific shape, adapted to the availability of I / O on the motherboard products in question. Better not use the I / O shield for the motherboard other, since they can block I / O is available.

    
Select the appropriate port.
The assumption that the pair SATA or PATA drive into any connector will make you able to boot the system. Some motherboard provides a RAID controller for SATA / PATA. For this, it requires a driver that is usually included in a diskette. You must first install a new Windows XP you can boot. You should also do the setting of the first from within the BIOS and RAID addressing to be used on a PATA hard drive.

    
Adjust RAM.
Previously many people who say that to run a dual-channel, simply by installing memory in accordance with the color. If you install memory in the first blue slot, the second memory must be so. But what if the motherboard has 4 memory slots with the same color? The answer can be found in the motherboard manual. If you do not get the right configuration for the dual-channel memory, the system will likely experience significant performance degradation.

    
Use the appropriate power connector.
At the latest motherboard uses a different connector to the foregoing. Therefore, plug all power connectors that are applicable to that found in the motherboard, do not combine the two into a single power connector, because it can cause fatal damage.

    
Processor installation.
This is the hardest part in the installation of the motherboard. Because if you are wrong it is not possible to install your processor will be damaged. In the old motherboard, you need a screwdriver to remove the tool hook heatsink. And not a few who have a high degree of difficulty. Therefore if you are still using the old motherboard with socket (Socket A and Socket 478) must be careful. In the current motherboard (socket 775, 754, and 939) could arguably be installed directly without having to use a screwdriver tools. Hook heatsink is much easier to operate, compared to the ancient processor.
