Motherboard

Replacing the motherboard is not something difficult. Not required to graduate genius or intelligence could do. But only the need for accuracy and willpower. To this end, we offer a guide for you.

1. Special attention to the jumpers.
So far there is no standard layout for the jumpers on the motherboard. This is because the industrial motherboard manufacturer has its own layout design. Although there is no conflict between their respective manufacturers. But for the first time you install a new motherboard, we recommend reading the manuals. Because not all products are motherboards, plain text is an explanation on the motherboard PCB. Not second-guessing on the subject.

2. Screws.
Very difficult to determine the appropriate category for them. To install the motherboard, most chassis features a rather large screws. Optimizing the use. Try all points motherboard installed locking screw. This allows the motherboard to be installed with adhesive on the housing. But certainly not the origin pairs. Adjust the length and size of the bolts used in accordance with the hole.

3. Use the I / O Shield.
An iron plate used to close the gap found between the input / output ports on the motherboard. With a pair of iron plates, in addition to the computer look good, the computer is not on the internet by dirt or insects are closed. I / O Shield usually on the sale of a motherboard tray. The form is specifically tailored to the availability of I / O products concerned on the motherboard. Better not use I / O Shield for a different motherboard, because they inhibit the I / O is available.

4. Select the correct port.
The assumption that a SATA or PATA drive into a port, your system can make to boot. Some motherboards have a RAID controller for SATA / PATA. You need a driver that is normally included in a floppy disk. First, the new Windows XP boot. They should be used, not the creation of an advance from the RAID BIOS and the address on PATA hard drive.

5. Customize RAM.
Previously, many people say that running a dual-channel, simply by installing memory in accordance with the color. If you install the first memory slot is blue, the second memory may be the case. But what if the motherboard has 4 memory slots with the same color?The answer can be found on the motherboard manual. If you are not the correct configuration for dual channel memory, the system will likely experience significant deterioration in performance.

6. Use the correct power connectors.
In the latest motherboard uses a different connection with the foregoing. Therefore, couples of all existing power supply in line with those in the motherboard, you should never combine the two into a single power supply, because they can cause irreparable damage.

7. Installation of the processor.
This is the hardest part of installing the motherboard. Because if you accidentally it is not impossible that your processor will be damaged. In the old motherboard, you need a screwdriver to solve the tool hooks heatsink. And not a few people who have a high degree of difficulty. Therefore, if you still have the old motherboard with a socket (Socket A and Socket 478) to be careful. Now on the motherboard (775, 754 and 939) could probably be installed directly without using a screwdriver tool. Heatsink hook is much easier to use compared to earlier times processor.
