Maintaining, Installing, and Conﬁguring a Motherboard

6. Install the processor and processor cooler. The processor comes already installed on

some motherboards, in which case you just need to install the cooler. How to install

a processor and cooler is covered in Chapter 4.

7. Install RAM into the appropriate slots on the motherboard. How to install RAM is

covered in Chapter 5.

8. Attach cabling that goes from the case switches to the motherboard, and from the

power supply and drives to the motherboard. Pay attention to how cables are labeled

and to any information in the documentation about where to attach them. Position and

tie cables neatly together to make sure they don’t obstruct the fans and the air ﬂow.

9. Install the video card on the motherboard. This card should go into the AGP slot or the

primary PCI Express x16 slot. If you plan to install multiple video cards, install only

one now and check out how the system functions before installing the second one.

10. Plug the computer into a power source, and attach the monitor and keyboard. Note that

you do not attach the mouse now, for the initial setup. Although the mouse generally

does not cause problems during setup, initially install only the things you absolutely need.

11. Boot the system and enter BIOS setup. How to do this is coming up in the next

section.

12. Make sure settings are set to the default. If the motherboard comes new from the

manufacturer, it will already be at default settings. If you are salvaging a motherboard

from another system, you might need to reset settings to the default. You will need to

do the following while you are in BIOS setup:

Check the time and date.

Check the ﬂoppy drive type if you have one.

Make sure abbreviated POST is disabled. While you’re installing a motherboard,

you generally want it to do as many tests as possible. After you know the system

is working, you can choose to abbreviate POST.

Set the boot order to the hard drive, and then a CD, if you will be booting the OS

from the hard drive.

Make sure “autodetect hard disk” is set so that the system automatically looks

for drives.

Leave everything else at their defaults unless you know that particular settings

should be otherwise.

Save and exit.

13. Observe POST and verify that no errors occur.

14. Check for conﬂicts with system resources. If Windows is already installed on the

hard drive, boot to the Windows desktop. Use Device Manager to verify that the OS

recognizes all devices and that no conﬂicts are reported.

15. Install the motherboard drivers. If your motherboard comes with a CD that contains

some motherboard drivers, install them now. You will probably need Internet access,

so that the setup process can download the latest drivers from the motherboard man-

ufacturer’s Web site. Reboot the system one more time, checking for errors.

16. Install any other expansion cards and drivers. Install each device and its drivers, one

device at a time, rebooting and checking for conﬂicts after each installation.

17. Verify that everything is operating properly, and make any ﬁnal OS and BIOS adjust-

ments, such as power management settings.
