    *Have you ever experienced disassembling and assembling computer system unit?
    If YES, what part of the process do you think challenged you?
    if NO, how do you feel that you are about to open one in this lesson?

    WHAT’S IN
    Parts of Computer System
    The computer system is made up of following external
    devices:

    •CPU cabinet
    •Monitor
    •Keyboard
    •Mouse
    •Printer/scanner (if attached)

    Computer assembly is a process in which all the internal components of the computer system are fitted
    to make the computer functional. The main component involves CPU, motherboard, memory, disk drives, etc. There is a
    proper process of attachment and installation of each and every component.

    1|COMPUTER SYSTEM S E RVI C I N G 3 ICT GRADE 1 2


    How to Disassemble a Computer

    Follow these seven steps carefully.

    Step 1: Detach the Power Cable


    The disassembling of the computer system starts with externally connected device detachment. Make sure the computer system is
    turned off, if not then successfully shut down the system and then start detaching the external devices from the computer system.
    It includes removing the power cable from electricity switchboard, then remove the cable from SMPS (switch mode power
    supply) from the back of the CPU Cabinet. Do not start the disassembling without detaching the power cable from the computer
    system. Now remove the remaining external devices like keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer or scanner from the back of CPU
    cabinet.

    Step 2: Remove the Cover


    The standard way of removing tower cases used to be to undo the screws on the back of the case, slide the cover back about an
    inch and lift it off. The screwdrivers as per the type of screw are required to do the task.

    Step 3: Remove the Adapter Cards


    Make sure if the card has any cables or wires that might be attached and decide if it would be easier to remove them before or
    after you remove the card. Remove the screw if any, that holds the card in place. Grab the card by its edges, front and back, and
    gently rock it lengthwise to release it.

    Step 4: Remove the Drives


    Removing drives is easier. There can be possibly three types of drives present in your computer system, Hard disk drive,
    CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives, floppy disk drives (almost absolute now a day). They usually have a power connector and a data cable
    attached from the device to a controller card or a connector on the motherboard. CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive may have an analog cable
    connected to the sound card for direct audio output.

    The power may be attached using one of two connectors, a Molex connector or a Berg connector for the drive. The Molex
    connector may require to be wiggled slightly from side to side and apply gentle pressure outwards. The Berg connector may just
    pull out or it may have a small tab which has to be lifted with a screwdriver.

    Now pull data cables off from the drive as well as motherboard connector. The hard disk drive and CD/DVD drives have two
    types of data cables. IDE and SATA cables. The IDE cables need better care while being removed as it may cause the damage to
    drive connector pins. Gently wiggle the cable sideways and remove it. The SATA cables can be removed easily by pressing the tab
    and pulling the connector straight back.
    Now remove the screws and slide the drive out the back of the bay.

    Step 5: Remove the Memory Module


    Memory modules are mounted on the motherboard as the chips that can be damaged by manual force if applied improperly. Be
    careful and handle the chip only by the edges. SIMMs and DIMMs are removed in a different way:
     SIMM - Gently push back the metal tabs while holding the SIMM chips in the socket. Tilt the SIMM chip away from the tabs
    until a 45% angle. It will now lift out of the socket. Put SIMM in a safe place.

     DIMM - There are plastic tabs on the end of the DIMM sockets. Press the tabs down and away from the socket. The DIMM
    will lift slightly. Now grab it by the edges and place it safely. Do not let the chips get dust at all.

    Step 6: Remove the Power Supply


    The power supply is attached into tower cabinet at the top back end of the tower. Make sure the power connector is detached from
    the switchboard. Start removing the power connector connected to motherboard including CPU fan power connector, cabinet fan,
    the front panel of cabinet power buttons and all the remaining drives if not detached yet.

    Now remove the screws of SMPS from the back of the cabinet and the SMPS can be detached from the tower cabinet.

    Step 7: Remove the Motherboard


    Before removing all the connectors from the motherboard, make sure you memorize the connectors for assembling the computer
    if required, as that may require connecting the connectors at its place. Remove the screws from the back of the motherboard and
    you will be able to detach it from the cabinet. Now remove the CPU fan from the motherboard. The heat sink will be visible now
    which can be removed by the pulling the tab upward. Finally, the processor is visible now, which can be removed by the plastic
    tab which can be pulled back one stretching it side way.

    How to Assemble a Computer
    The assembling of the computer system is exactly the opposite of disassembling operation. Before starting assembling the
    computer system, make sure you have the screws and a screwdriver for those.

    Step 1: Mount the Processor


    The first step for assembling the computer system starts with mounting the processor on the processor socket of the motherboard.
    To mount the process, you don't need to apply any force. The special ZIF (zero insertion force) sockets are usually used to prevent
    any damage to the processor pins. Once the processor is mounted, the heat sink will be attached on top of the processor. The CPU
    fan is also attached on top of the heat sink.

    Step 2: Fix the Motherboard in the Tower Case


    Now the motherboard is to be fixed vertically in the tower case and the screws are fixed from behind of the motherboard.

    Step 3: Connect the Power Supply


    Now line up the power supply at the top back end of the cabinet and screw it. The power connectors for motherboard power
    supply and CPU fan power supply are to be connected. If the cabinet cooling FAN is required then it is to be screwed at the back
    end grill of the cabinet and its power connector is to be connected from SMPS.

    Step 4: Install the Drives


    Install the CD/DVD drives at the top front end of the cabinet and screw it. Install the Hard disk drive and floppy disk drive below
    CD/DVD drive and screw it. Make sure once screwed there is no vibration in either of the CD/DVD, hard disk or floppy disk
    drives.

    Step 5: Connect Cables


    Now select the appropriate data cable and connect one end of the cable to its drive socket and another end at its appropriate
    connector on the motherboard. For SATA hard disk drive or CD/DVD drives use SATA cable and its power cable, else use IDE
    data cable. Do the proper jumper settings as per the usage requirement.

    Step 6: Mount the Memory Modules


    It is time now to mount the memory modules on the motherboard by aligning the RAM to its socket on the motherboard and press
    it downward. Make sure the side tab are fixed into the RAM notch. If not, you may still have to press a bit.

    Step 7: Install the Internal Cards


    Install the internal cards to its socket and attach the cables or power cable to it. The selection of right socket or slot is required as
    per the type of socket.

    Step 8: Cover the Tower


    Cover the tower by placing it and pressing towards front side and screw it.

    Step 9: Connect the External Devices and Power


    Connect the external devices with CPU at its appropriate socket. It includes mouse and keyboard at PS2 or USB connectors.
    Monitor at the video output socket. Connect the power cable to the back of tower in SMPS. Plug in the power cable to the electric
    board.

    FREQUESTLY ASK QUESTIONS.

    Question: What factors should be considered before disassembly and reassembly of a computer?

    Answer: The following factors are to be considered before disassembly and reassembly.

    1) Shut down the computer system before the commencement of the process. It is hazardous to perform any such activity with the
    computer system power on and connected with the power supply. Detach the power cable .
    2) Remove all the interfaces of the devices connected with the cabinet(computer system).
    3) Perform the task at the dry, non humid area to prevent environmental problem.
    4) If you are inexperienced, take a picture of the inside assembly of the cabinet, so that you can attach the right thing at the right
    place at the time of reassembly.
    5) Keep all the screw properly and fix all of them at the appropriate place
