• 2 x SATA-300 ports (3Gb/s)
• 2 x SATA-600 ports (6Gb/s)

These ports support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 configurations.

2.4 Expansion Cards

Základní deska nabízí následující rozšiřující sloty:

• 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot
• 1 x slot PCI Express x4
• 1 x slot PCI Express x1
• 1 x PCI slot

Install expansion cards (e.g., graphics cards, network cards) by aligning them with the appropriate slot and pressing firmly until seated. Secure with a screw to the chassis.

2.5 Periferní připojení

Připojte periferie k zadnímu I/O panelu a interním konektorům:

• USB porty: 8 x USB 2.0 (internal headers), 2 x USB 3.0 (rear panel, blue), 6 x USB 2.0 (rear panel, black).
• Video výstupy: 2 x DVI ports, 1 x DisplayPort.
• Síť: 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port (Intel 82579LM controller).
• Zvuk: 3 x Audio ports (HD Audio 8-channel Realtek ALC888S).
• eSATA: 2 x eSATA 3Gb/s ports.

3. Návod k obsluze

3.1 Počáteční spuštění a nastavení systému BIOS

After assembling your system, power it on. The system will perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). Press the designated key (usually DEL or F2) during POST to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. Here you can configure boot order, system time, and other advanced settings.

3.2 Instalace operačního systému

Insert your operating system installation media (DVD or USB drive) and configure the boot order in the BIOS to boot from it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install your operating system.

3.3 Instalace ovladače

After OS installation, it is crucial to install the necessary drivers for your motherboard components. Use the included Express Installer Driver and Software DVD or download the latest drivers from the Intel support webmísto.

• USB 3.0 Driver: Intel recommends connecting USB keyboard and mouse devices into USB 2.0 ports (black) during OS installation. Operating system installation may be interrupted if keyboard and mouse devices are connected to the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports (blue) due to the lack of native USB 3.0 driver support from the OS. The device driver for the USB 3.0 host controller must be installed from the included Express Installer Driver and Software DVD before it can be operational in the OS.
• Ovladače čipové sady: Nezbytné pro správnou komunikaci mezi komponentami.
• Ovladač LAN: Pro síťové připojení.
• Ovladač zvuku: Pro zvukovou funkčnost.
• Ovladač grafiky: For integrated graphics (if no discrete GPU is used).

4. Údržba

Správná údržba zajistí dlouhou životnost a stabilní provoz vaší základní desky.

• Odstranění prachu: Pravidelně čistěte prach z vnitřku počítačové skříně, zejména kolem ventilátorů a chladičů, pomocí stlačeného vzduchu. Před čištěním se ujistěte, že je systém vypnutý a odpojený od sítě.
• Aktualizace BIOSu/UEFI: Pravidelně kontrolujte podporu Intelu website for BIOS/UEFI updates. Updates can improve stability, compatibility, and performance. Follow Intel's instructions carefully when updating the BIOS.
• Aktualizace ovladačů: Udržujte ovladače aktualizované, abyste zajistili optimální výkon a kompatibilitu s novým softwarem a hardwarem.
• Kontrola prostředí: Operate the computer in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and humidity.

5. Řešení problémů

Tato část se zabývá běžnými problémy, se kterými se můžete setkat u své základní desky.

5.1 System Fails to Boot / No Display

• Zkontrolujte připojení napájení: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU if applicable) are securely connected.
• Znovu usaďte komponenty: Power off and unplug the system. Reseat the CPU, RAM modules, and any expansion cards (especially the graphics card).
• Vymazat CMOS: Refer to your motherboard's specific instructions for clearing the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) settings, which can resolve boot issues caused by incorrect BIOS configurations. This usually involves moving a jumper or removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes.
• Test s minimálními komponentami: Remove all non-essential components (e.g., extra RAM sticks, storage drives, expansion cards) and try to boot with only the CPU, one RAM stick, and the graphics card (or integrated graphics).
• Verify Processor Compatibility: Double-check that your processor is an Intel 2000 Series (LGA1155 socket) as required by this motherboard.

5.2 Zařízení USB 3.0 nefungují

If USB 3.0 ports are not functioning after OS installation, ensure the USB 3.0 host controller driver has been installed. This driver is typically found on the included Express Installer Driver and Software DVD or on the Intel support webmísto.

5.3 System Instability / Random Crashes

• Zkontrolujte RAM: Ensure RAM modules are correctly seated and compatible. Test each RAM stick individually if possible.
• Monitorovat teploty: Overheating components (CPU, GPU, chipset) can cause instability. Ensure cooling solutions are properly installed and fans are functioning.
• Aktualizovat ovladače: Outdated or corrupted drivers can lead to system instability. Update all motherboard-related drivers.
• Napájení: Ujistěte se, že váš napájecí zdroj (PSU) poskytuje dostatečné a stabilní napájení pro všechny komponenty.
