5. Aplicar pasta tèrmica:

   Apply a small, pea-sized amount of thermal paste to the center of the processor's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).

6. Instal·leu el refrigerador de CPU:

   Carefully place the CPU cooler onto the processor, ensuring even pressure. Secure the cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions (e.g., screw down, clip on). Connect the CPU fan cable to the "CPU_FAN" header on the motherboard.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Engegada del sistema

After completing the hardware installation, connect all necessary peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) and the power supply. Power on your system.

4.2 Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI

Upon first boot, enter your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing DEL, F2, or F10 during startup). Verify that the system recognizes the Intel XEON E-2314 processor correctly. Ensure that memory settings (XMP/DOCP profiles) are configured appropriately for your installed RAM.

4.3 Instal·lació del sistema operatiu i del controlador

Install your preferred operating system. After OS installation, install the latest chipset drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website and any specific Intel processor drivers if available. Keeping drivers updated ensures optimal performance and stability.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Gestió tèrmica

Proper thermal management is crucial for processor longevity and performance. Regularly check and clean your CPU cooler and case fans to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and lead to higher temperatures.

• Eliminació de pols: Use compressed air to clear dust from heatsink fins and fan blades every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments.
• Pasta tèrmica: If CPU temperatures are consistently high despite cleaning, consider reapplying thermal paste. This typically needs to be done every few years, or if the cooler is removed.

5.2 Consideracions ambientals

Operate your system in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Avoid placing the computer in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Maintain a stable room temperature to prevent extreme temperature fluctuations.
