2.2 Instalace procesoru (CPU)
The ASRock G41C-VS motherboard uses an LGA 775 socket. Follow these steps to install your compatible Intel processor:
- Najděte na základní desce patici procesoru LGA 775.
- Gently push down the load lever and pull it to the side to open the socket retention frame.
- Carefully align the CPU with the socket, ensuring the golden triangle on the CPU matches the triangle on the socket. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
- Lower the CPU into the socket.
- Close the retention frame and secure it by pushing the load lever back into its locked position.
- Apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the CPU surface, then install the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions.
2.3 Instalace paměti (RAM)
This motherboard supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules. It features two DDR2 DIMM slots and two DDR3 DIMM slots, supporting dual channel memory architecture.
- Otevřete klipy na obou koncích slotu DIMM.
- Zarovnejte paměťový modul se slotem a ujistěte se, že zářez na modulu odpovídá výstupku ve slotu.
- Pevně zatlačte na oba konce paměťového modulu, dokud klipsy nezacvaknou na místo.
- Ensure both clips are fully closed and the module is securely seated.
2.4 Instalace rozšiřující karty
The motherboard includes one PCI-Express x16 slot for graphics cards and one PCI slot for other expansion cards.
- Locate the desired expansion slot.
- Remove the corresponding metal bracket from your PC case.
- Zarovnejte rozšiřující kartu se slotem a pevně ji zatlačte, dokud zcela nezapadne.
- Připevněte kartu šroubem k pouzdru počítače.
2.5 Připojení periferií a napájení
Connect all necessary cables to the motherboard:
- Napájecí konektory: Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector from your power supply unit (PSU) to the motherboard.
- Zařízení SATA: Connect your SATA hard drives or SSDs to the SATA ports on the motherboard using the provided SATA data cables.
- Konektory na předním panelu: Connect the power switch, reset switch, power LED, and HDD LED cables from your PC case to the front panel header on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard diagram for correct pin assignments.
- USB porty: Connect internal USB headers for front panel USB ports. Connect external USB devices to the rear USB 2.0 ports.
- Zvuk: Connect front panel audio cables to the appropriate header. Connect speakers or headphones to the rear audio jacks.
- Video: Connect your monitor to the VGA port on the rear I/O panel if using integrated graphics.
- Síť: Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 LAN port for network access.
3. Návod k obsluze
3.1 Počáteční spuštění a nastavení systému BIOS
After completing hardware installation, power on your system. During the initial boot sequence, you can access the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) setup utility by pressing the DEL key (or as indicated on screen).
- Nastavení systému BIOS: Configure boot order, date and time, and other system parameters as needed. Save changes before exiting the BIOS.
- Instalace operačního systému: Install your preferred operating system from a bootable USB drive or optical disc.
3.2 Instalace ovladače
For optimal performance and stability, install the necessary drivers for your motherboard components. These drivers can be found on the included support CD or downloaded from the official ASRock webmísto.
- Install chipset drivers.
- Install integrated graphics drivers (Intel GMA X4500).
- Install audio drivers.
- Install LAN drivers.
4. Údržba
4.1 Čištění
Pravidelně čistěte vnitřek počítače, abyste zabránili hromadění prachu, který může vést k přehřátí a selhání součástí. K odstranění prachu z ventilátorů, chladičů a dalších součástí použijte stlačený vzduch. Před čištěním se ujistěte, že je systém vypnutý a odpojený od sítě.
4.2 Výměna baterie CMOS
The motherboard uses a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery to power the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) memory, which stores BIOS settings and the system clock. If your system consistently loses time or BIOS settings, the battery may need replacement. Locate the battery holder on the motherboard, gently remove the old battery, and insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
5. Řešení problémů
Tato část obsahuje řešení běžných problémů, se kterými se můžete setkat.
- Bez napájení: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 4-pin ATX 12V) are securely connected to the motherboard and PSU. Verify the PSU is switched on and connected to a working power outlet.
- Bez displeje: Check that the monitor is properly connected to the VGA port. If using a discrete graphics card, ensure it is correctly seated in the PCI-Express x16 slot and connected to power (if required). Try reseating RAM modules.
- Nestabilita/pády systému: This can be caused by improperly seated RAM, overheating, or outdated drivers. Ensure RAM is correctly installed, CPU cooler is functioning, and all drivers are up-to-date.
- CMOS Reset: If you encounter issues after changing BIOS settings, you can reset the CMOS to default settings. This is typically done by briefly shorting a specific jumper on the motherboard (refer to the motherboard diagram for the CLRCMOS1 jumper) or by removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes.
