3. Bezpieczna płyta główna: Screw the motherboard into the standoffs using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
4. Zainstaluj pamięć RAM: Open the clips on the DDR5 memory slots. Align the RAM modules with the slots (notch alignment is key) and press firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place. Refer to the motherboard manual for preferred slot configuration for dual-channel memory.
5. Zainstaluj dyski SSD M.2: If using M.2 NVMe SSDs, locate the M.2 slots (often under heatsinks). Remove the heatsink, insert the SSD at an angle, then push it down and secure it with the provided screw or latch mechanism. Reattach the heatsink.
6. Podłącz kable zasilające:
   • Zasilanie ATX 24-pinowe: Connect the large 24-pin power cable from your power supply to the motherboard.
   • 8-pin CPU Power (EPS): Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4 pin) CPU power cable to the top-left of the motherboard. The MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi may have multiple CPU power connectors; consult the motherboard manual for optimal configuration.
7. Podłącz kable panelu przedniego: Connect the power button, reset button, USB ports, audio jacks, and LED indicators from your case to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard manual for exact pin layouts.
8. Zainstaluj kartę graficzną (GPU): Open the PCIe slot latch. Insert your graphics card into the primary PCIe x16 slot until it clicks into place. Secure it with a screw to the case. Connect any required PCIe power cables from your power supply to the GPU.
9. Podłącz urządzenia SATA: If using SATA SSDs or HDDs, connect SATA data cables to the motherboard's SATA ports and SATA power cables from your power supply.

3. Instrukcja obsługi

Once all components are installed, you can proceed with the initial boot and operating system setup.

3.1. Początkowy rozruch i konfiguracja BIOS/UEFI
