- Приклучоци за напојување: Поврзете го 24-пинскиот ATX конектор за напојување и 8-пинските/4-пинските конектори за напојување на процесорот од напојувањето со матичната плоча.
4.2 Ажурирање на BIOS-от
Keeping your BIOS updated ensures optimal compatibility, security, and access to the latest features. ASRock provides two primary methods for updating the BIOS: USB BIOS Flashback and Instant Flash.
4.2.1 USB BIOS Flashback Method
This method allows you to update the BIOS without a CPU, RAM, or graphics card installed. You will need a USB drive formatted to FAT32 with at least 32GB of space.
- Prepare a USB drive (FAT32, at least 32GB).
- Преземете го најновиот BIOS-от file from the official ASRock webвеб-страница за вашиот специфичен модел на матична плоча.
- Извлечете го преземениот zip file и преименувајте го BIOS ROM-от file to "CREATIVE.ROM".
- Copy "CREATIVE.ROM" to the root directory of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
- Ensure the system is powered off. Connect the power supply to the motherboard but do not power on the system.
- Insert the USB drive into the designated USB BIOS Flashback port on the rear I/O panel (refer to your motherboard manual for exact location).
- Press and hold the USB BIOS Flashback button on the rear I/O for approximately 3 seconds until the LED light starts to blink.
- Wait until the LED stops blinking, indicating the BIOS update is complete. This may take a few minutes.
- Power on the system and enter the BIOS setup menu (usually by pressing F2 or Delete during POST) to verify the updated BIOS version.

4.2.2 Instant Flash Method
This method requires the system to be operational and allows you to update the BIOS from within the UEFI BIOS utility.
- Prepare a USB drive (FAT32, at least 32GB).
- Преземете го најновиот BIOS-от file from the official ASRock webвеб-страница за вашиот специфичен модел на матична плоча.
- Извлечете го преземениот zip file и копирајте го BIOS ROM-от file (e.g., B860LightningWiFi.ROM) to the root directory of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
- Insert the USB drive into any available USB port on the motherboard.
- Power on the system and press F2 or Delete during POST to enter the BIOS setup menu.
- Navigate to the 'Tool' menu and select 'Instant Flash'.
- Confirm any notices (e.g., BitLocker suspension) and proceed.
- Instant Flash will automatically detect suitable BIOS versions on your USB drive. Select the correct BIOS file и потврдете го ажурирањето.
- Do not power off the system during the UEFI update. Once complete, the system will prompt you to reboot.
- After rebooting, enter the BIOS setup menu again. Go to the 'Exit' menu, select 'Load UEFI Defaults', and press 'Yes' to continue. Then, 'Save Changes and Exit' to apply default settings and reboot.
5. Ракување со матичната плоча
5.1 UEFI BIOS Settings
The UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS allows you to configure various system settings, including boot order, CPU and memory parameters, fan speeds, and security options. To access the UEFI BIOS, press the F2 or Избриши key during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) phase when your computer starts.
5.2 Инсталација на драјвери
After installing your operating system, it is crucial to install the latest drivers for your motherboard's components.

- BIOS батерија: The CMOS battery (CR2032) typically lasts for several years. If you experience issues with time/date settings or BIOS configurations resetting, consider replacing it.
7 Смена на проблеми
- Системот не се стартува: Check all power connections, ensure CPU and RAM are correctly seated, and verify that the graphics card is properly installed.
- Нема приказ: Confirm that your monitor is connected to the correct display output on your graphics card or motherboard. Try reseating the graphics card and RAM.
- Неуспешно ажурирање на BIOS-от: If a BIOS update fails, ensure the USB drive is correctly formatted (FAT32) and the BIOS file is renamed correctly (CREATIVE.ROM for USB BIOS Flashback). Do not interrupt the update process.
- Прегревање: Ensure all fans are functioning correctly, thermal paste is properly applied to the CPU, and case airflow is adequate. Check M.2 heatsinks are properly installed.
- Периферни проблеми: If a USB device or other peripheral is not recognized, try different ports, update drivers, or check BIOS settings for USB configuration.
