Study Notes

Computer System Unit Assembly

  • Preparation:
    • Gather all necessary components: case, power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM, storage drives, and cooling system.
    • Gather tools: anti-static wrist strap, screwdriver set, and small containers for screws.
  • Assembly Steps:
    • Open the Case: Remove screws from the side panel and open the case.
    • Install Power Supply: Secure the power supply unit (PSU) inside the case using screws.
    • Prepare the Motherboard:
      • Install CPU: Place the CPU into its socket on the motherboard.
      • Attach Cooling Solution: Apply thermal compound (if needed) and install the heat sink and fan assembly on the CPU.
      • Install RAM: Insert RAM modules into the designated slots on the motherboard.
    • Mount the Motherboard: Position the motherboard in the case and secure it using standoffs and screws.
    • Install Storage Drives: Mount and connect hard drives or SSDs in their bays using SATA cables.
    • Connect Internal Cables: Connect necessary internal cables, including power cables from the PSU to the motherboard and drives.
    • Connect External Ports: Connect front panel connectors for USB ports and audio jacks.
    • Final Connections: Connect external peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) to their respective ports.
    • Power On: Connect the power supply cable to an outlet, turn on the case, and boot the computer.
