Study Notes
Computer Disassembly and Assembly
- Disassembly is prioritized over assembly to understand component placement and reassembly. Industrial servicing involves frequent disassembly.
Disassembly Preparation
- Crucial Steps: Unplug the system unit, wear an anti-static wrist strap, use an anti-static mat, and use a large, long table.
Disassembly Performance Checklist
- Safety First: Ensure the system unit is unplugged before beginning disassembly.
- Protective Gear: Properly wear anti-static wrist straps and other personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Component Removal: Safely and correctly remove the outer casing, case fan, CPU fan, power supply, RAM, optical disk drive, hard drive, and motherboard.
Assembly Preparation
- Pre-Assembly Steps: Thoroughly clean equipment and parts. Avoid leaving the CPU exposed. Prepare thermal paste reapplication. Wear an anti-static wrist strap.
Assembly Performance Checklist
- Hygiene is Key: Clean the equipment and parts before commencing assembly.
- Protective Gear is Essential: Wear anti-static wrist straps, and other PPE.
- Component Installation: Correctly and carefully install CPU Fan, Hard Drive, Optical Drive, RAM, Power Supply, Interface Cards (graphics/video cards), and system fan. Secure the system cover.
Installing I/O Devices
- Essential Peripherals: Focus on installing keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, webcam, and printer. These devices control the computer.
Keyboard Installation
- Connector Identification: Locate USB or PS/2 connector.
