How to Assemble Computers

How to Assemble Computers - For those of you who want to learn to assemble your own computer, you can follow and listen to assemble a computer study guide, complete with pictures in the article which I will share below. In assembling the computer, in addition to add to assemble computer science can also give satisfaction will be successful if you do and also we can determine lomponen-quality computer components because the components that will be installed to assemble computers we have set themselves in accordance with existing financial.

Before starting the assembly of the computer, equipment that needs to be prepared such as pliers, screwdrivers, wires, screws, jumpers, bolts, drivers and application programs. And also be aware of the compatibility / suitability of the components on the motherboard for any type of motherboard supports the type of processor, RAM, ports and I / O buses are different.

Steps to Assemble Computer

1. Installing the processor to the motherboard

It would be nice before the motherboard is installed into the chassis, first install the processor because it will be easier way to install. How to install the processor to the motherboard are:

     We first determine the position of pin 1 on the processor and the processor socket on the motherboard, usually located on the corner marked with a dot or indentation.
     Lift the socket lever up so that the open
     Adjust the position of the processor with the socket holes, when it then press the processor into the socket until the meeting.
     Key back to the lock lever.

2. Installing the Motherboard

To install the motherboard in the chassis that is put on the motherboard tray and adjust the casing between the casing and the bore hole motherboard, then lock the screws.


3. Installing the Heatsink

Once the processor is installed, then attach the heatsink so that the processor does not heat. Is placed above the processor heatsink and retention in order not to loose. Previously coated heatsink with a heat conductive gel. If you have any fan heatsink / fan power connector on the fan / fan connected to the motherboard.


4. Installing RAM / Memory

How to install Ram / memory modules, namely: Open the latch lever first, then adjust the position of the indentation on the memory module with the grooves in the slot. If it fits then press the locking lever and replace the RAM / memory.


5. Installing the Power Supply

Usually when we buy the casing sure the power supply is mounted. Well if the power supply is not plugged memaangnya way:

     Place the power supply in place is behind the casing, and then lock the screws.
     Plug the power connector from the power supply to the motherboard below the wires.


6. Installing the Motherboard Cable and Casing

     Install cables primary and secondary IDE connector on the motherboard.
     For non-ATX motherboard, plug the serial and parallel port cable to the connector on the motherboard.
     On the back of the casing there is a hole for attaching additional types of non-slot port. Open the locking plate screw holes covered lalumasukkan port connector port that you want to install and replace the screw back.
     Connect the mouse and keyboard connector on the motherboard.
     Connector cable ties such as LEDs, internal speakers and ports available on the computer case.


7. Installing the Drive

To install the drive as hard drive, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM way is:

     Insert the drive from the front of the chassis. Set the jumper settings used (as master or slave) on the drive, and replace the screws so that the drive can not be separated.
     Connect the drive to the IDE cable connector and the connector on the motherboard (primary connector is used first)
     If the IDE cable is connected to the two (2) drives, which is the first drive jumper settings be set as the master and the other as the slave.
     And secondary IDE connector on the motherboard can be used to connect two additional drives.
     Connect the power cable from the power supply to each drive.


8. Installing the Adapter Card

For Card Adapter that is usually installed sound, video cards, modems and SCSI adapters. Installation means that: insert the Adapter Card slot available on the motherboard, then press until the connector is fully inserted, then give the screw as the card holder.


9 . Stage final computer assembly
If all these steps are finished assembling the computer , now closed to the casing and give the screw . Connect the cable from the power supply into a wall socket and plug the connector into the port monitor video card , keyboard cable connector and plug the mouse into the mouse port .
10 . Examination Results Computer Assembling
Once a computer is assembled , we do inspection and testing the results with the BIOS program , do as follows:

    Turn on the computer and the monitor , see the monitor screen and also listen to the sound from the speakers .
    Well fost of Bios program will automatically detect what hardware is already installed on the computer .
    Perform the settings for the value of the capacity of the hard drive and boot sequence .
    If it is then save the settings and exit results from the BIOS setup , the computer loads the operating system with a customized search order by setting the boot sequence in the Bios .
