    Lesson 3:

    ASSEMBLE COMPUTER HARDWARE

    Learning Objective:

     Configure a computer.
     Set the computer system properly.
     Learn how to assemble/disassemble computer.
    Tools Materials and Equipment:
    Before you begin building or refitting a computer, you should have some basic tools:

     Phillips-head (cross-shaped) screwdriver


     Needle-nose pliers
     Anti-static Wrist Strap
     A large level working space
     Anti-static bag

    Some other tools and equipment can come in handy as well, such as:

     Electrical tape
     Wire or nylon ties
     Flashlight, preferably hands-free
     A second, working computer to swap parts, look for tips, ask for help on-line, download
    drivers and patches, etc. - very useful
     A can of compressed air - useful when
    working with older parts that have collected dust. A
    better alternative but also expensive, is a vacuum cleaner
    designed for cleaning electronics.
     Proper preparation is the key to a successful build.

    Introduction:

     In order to begin a simple work using computer, we should build first our system unit,
    and basic computer configuration setup.

    Installing Motherboard Components


    Take note of the following precautions before
    installing motherboard components or changing any
    motherboard settings.

     Unplug the power cord


     Hold edge components
     Prepare
    anti-static pad or bag
     Use anti-static wrist rap
    Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the
    motherboard fits into it.

    When installing the motherboard, ensure that you place it into the chassis in the correct
    orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the
    image below.
    Installing CPU
    Safety procedures

     Unplug the power cord


     Keep the cap after installing the motherboard
     Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket
    contacts are not bent
     Use anti-static wrist rap

    Install CPU heatsink fan

     Apply the Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink and CPU before you install the
    heatsink and fan if necessary.

    Install System Memory


    Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other
    system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to
    both the motherboard and the components.
    1. Press the retaining clips outward to unlock a DIMM socket.

    2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the DIMM slot key on
    the socket.

    3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the
    DIM is properly seated.
    Removing System Memory
    1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
    Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM
    might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
    2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
