  1. Locate the SODIMM slots (refer to Figure 3.2 and 3.3).
  2. Gently push open the clips at both ends of the memory slot.
  3. Align the notch on the SODIMM module with the key in the memory slot.
  4. Insert the module at a 45-degree angle and push down firmly until the clips snap into place, securing the module.

3.4 Storage Device Installation (SATA)

Connect your SATA storage devices (HDD/SSD) to the SATA ports on the motherboard using SATA data cables. Ensure the power cable from your power supply is also connected to the storage device.

3.5 Connexió de perifèrics i alimentació

  • Connect the main power connector from your power supply to the motherboard.
  • Connect any necessary auxiliary power connectors (e.g., CPU power).
  • Connect USB devices, Ethernet cable, and display cables (DisplayPort, HDMI if available) to the appropriate I/O ports.
  • Connect front panel headers (power button, reset button, USB, audio) to the corresponding pins on the motherboard. Refer to your system chassis manual for pin assignments.

4. Funcionament

4.1 Primer arrencada

After all components are installed and connected, power on your system. The system should perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). If successful, the system will attempt to boot from your installed storage device.

4.2 Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI

To enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility, press the designated key (commonly F2, F10, Del, or Esc) during the POST sequence. Consult your system's documentation for the exact key. In the BIOS/UEFI, you can configure boot order, system time, and other hardware settings.

5. Manteniment

  • Eliminació de pols: Netegeu regularment la pols de la placa base i dels components del sistema amb aire comprimit. Assegureu-vos que el sistema estigui apagat i desendollat ​​abans de netejar-lo.
  • Comprovació de components: Comproveu periòdicament totes les connexions dels cables per assegurar-vos que estiguin ben fixades.
  • Actualitzacions de la BIOS: Consulta el suport d'HP website for BIOS/firmware updates for your specific system model (HP Slice G2 DM) to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

6. Solució De Problemes

  • Sense energia: Ensure all power cables (main ATX, CPU power) are securely connected to the motherboard and power supply. Verify the power supply is switched on.
  • Sense pantalla: Check that the monitor is connected to the correct display output on the motherboard or graphics card. Reseat RAM modules and any expansion cards.
  • El sistema no arrenca: Listen for beep codes (if applicable) which can indicate specific hardware issues. Try booting with only essential components (CPU, one RAM stick, power supply) to isolate the problem.
  • Component no detectat: Ensure the component (e.g., RAM, storage drive) is correctly seated and connected. Check BIOS/UEFI settings to see if it's recognized.

7. Consells d'usuari

  • Always handle the motherboard by its edges to avoid touching sensitive components and static discharge.
  • When installing the CPU, ensure proper alignment and do not apply excessive force. The CPU should sit naturally in the socket before the retention arm is closed.
  • For optimal memory performance, install RAM modules in matched pairs if your system supports dual-channel memory.

8. Garantia i Suport
