Assemble and install COMPUTER

assembling a computer is something fun for those who likewith computer assembly. Before starting to assemble a computer, thenused to prepare the components, such as the casing (including power supply),motherboard, processor, heatsink and fan, memory, graphics card (VGA / AGP),hard drive, CDROM / DVDROM, floppy disk drives, monitors, speakers, keyboard andmouse. In addition to the above components, also prepared a CD of drivers and the operating system CDand the required software. Prepare also a variety of hand tools such as screwdrivers,pliers and tweezers. The steps to assemble a PC in general is likefollowing.1. Preparing and Observing the motherboard.a. Prepare the motherboard and observe its parts carefully.If necessary write the position of the components available to it for more details.
2. Retrieve Processor.a. Note that the processor has a sign on one corner,in this case are usually marked with grooves, holes or arrows.b. Matches off with a sign that there are processors on the socket.c. If you do the above correctly, then the processorwill be incorporated into socketnya properly.d. Lock the socket again, by pressing the lever down andlinking the existing lock.
3. Installing Heatsink and Cooling Fan.a. Heatsink and fan are already assembled into one, so wejust stay put and to set it up is easy.b. Before installing, note the position of the power cord for the fan with the locationpower connector. Find the shortest distance for power cable is nottangent to the fan.c. In this example the Pentium 4 times this heatsink cooling shape is round andthere are 4 lock at 4 points around the cooler.d. Install it yourself by putting the heatsink directly abovesesuikan processor and cooler holder on the existing motherboard.e. Lock 4 points in a cooler in a way press and turn the same directionclockwise using a screwdriver with a plus (+).
4. Installing Memorya. To install memory, then open the lock on the second memory slotside on the motherboard.b. Perhatihkan that each memory chip has a slit on the bottom side.In practice this time we use a double data rate random accessmemory (DDRAM). There are other types of RAM, but currently hard to findon the market in new condition called dynamic syncronousrandom access memory (SDRAM).c. Match this gap with a memory slot. If you force installmemory with the wrong direction, it can damage the memory oreven motherboards.d. Press the memory chips on both sides so that you hear a "click", andpenguncinya will close by itself.Figure 7. The final result of the installation of DDRAM
5. Preparing the Casing.a. Prepare the chassis that will be used.b. Put it on a table or other places that are considered safe.c. Remove the existing screws on the back, then open the panelside with caution,d. Match the position of the motherboard with an existing holder in the casing.e. Make sure the legs will support you in the motherboardwhich require strong pressure, such as processor or memory slot socket.Do not forget every existing motherboard mounting bolt holes mustgiven screws / bolts, for a strong position (not wobbly).
6. Replacing the motherboard.a. Prepare screws used and screwdriver, then attachcorrectly on your motherboard mounting available.b. Be strong (turn clockwise) all the screws used tothe motherboard is properly and correctly.
7. Preparing the Hard Diska. Take your hard drive, and note the jumpernya. In the jumper willthere is a choice Master, Slave or Cable Select. This information can be foundon the surface of the disk.b. Put the jumper in accordance with the desired position. If you need to preparetweezers to pull out and put the jumper on the hard disk.
8. Replacing the hard drive to the chassis.a. Some casing manggunakan bracket system that can be removed forfacilitate the installation of hard drives and floppy drives.b. Select the appropriate screws, do not get too big or too long,and attach the mounting screws on the hard drive well andtrue.
9. Connecting the hard drive to the motherboard.a. Notice that there are two types of IDE data cable, which is 40-wire and 34-wire.40-wire cable is used to drive, and 34-wire cable is used forflopy disk drive (FDD).b. Installation of data cables should not be reversed. On one side is usuallythere is a cable with red color indicating pin number 1.c. This position is also marked on the hard disk. Normally the position of pin 1 on the hard drive(Red wire) is right next to the power connector (red coloranyway).
10. Replacing the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD).a. Installing the Floppy drive, almost the same as installing hard drives, exceptfor some models of the casing which separates the floppy and hard disk.b. Some types of casing, probably need to open the front panelfirst before installing the floppy disk drive.
11. Prepare CD / DVD Drive.a. As with any hard drive, CD / DVD drives also use a jumper tothe position of Master and Slave. Set jumper tesebut in the desired position.b. If only there were a hard drive, the jumpers are in positionMaster.c. If there are 2 pieces of hard drives on one computer and bothactivated, then a hard disk drive only be used as a Master and should be regulatedSlave position.
12. Installing a CD / DVD drives.a. To install the CD / DVD drives usually we need to remove the front panelfirst casing, or depending on the type and model as well casingused.b. Open the drive you're on the front panel.c. Install CD / DVD drive correctly, and then close the front panel(If using the front panel).
13. Connecting CD / DVD drive to the motherboard.a. Installation of the IDE data cable from the CD / DVD into the same motherboardinstallation disk.b. Attach connector CD / DVD, and the other end into the motherboard, theconnector labeled CD.c. Do not forget to tidy up the cables so as not to each otherrelated and "chaotic". Set the path and the path of the cable neatly, if necessarytie to be more tidy and pleasing to the eye of the eye.
14. Connecting Cable Connector on the motherboard.a. Now we need to connect the cables from the chassis to the motherboard.b. This cable consists of power switch, drive indicator, power indicator, reset buttonand speakers, as shown in the picture below.Figure 12. Install the connector to the motherboardc. For chassis that provides front panel, such as universal serial bus(USB), then the wires must be connected to the motherboard forcan function normally.
15. Connecting the Power Cord.a. After all is installed, then the next step is to connect thepower cord from the power supply to the motherboard, hard drive, FDD and CDROM.b. For Pentium 4 motherboards, usually at least there are 2 power connectorto be installed, such as the following picture.c. Then connect the power cables as well to the hard disk, floppy, and CD /DVD. If you use a cooling fan casing, then plug it intoor the power supply to the motherboard, according to the connector that is owned.
16. Prepare the External Components section.a. If the components inside are wrong, so now the turn of constituentsthe outside, such as monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers.b. For these components, we stay connected wiresonly on terminals that have been determined, for example keyboard, mouse, speakersand others.c. Do not forget to power cables, both for the chassis andmonitor.
17. Checking the Power Supply.a. Check carefully for the power supply is used. Stressnormal is 220-230 volts. If the switch is provided, then moveswitch to the appropriate voltage source.b. Some of the power supply is equipped with a transfer voltage (switch)between 110 or 220 volts.
18. Your PC Ready.a. Now your PC is completely ready, and could in his power ONSupplynya. Do not forget before mengONkan Power Supply foralways "pray" first.b. If you do not want to check once again ON the power wiring (voltage source)used to supply the computer device.
19. Installing Operating System Software-Software and Desired.a. After all assembled with care, now is the stage of installing the systemoperations and also used software that is desired. ForWindows operating system instance can use Windows XP, Vista or 7 or maybe Linux.b. Install all other software applications as needed, such asMicrosoft Office 2010, Open Office, Star Office, Acrobat Reader and softwareother applications as needed.c. Try to use legitimate software (there licensenya)except if it's open source software.d. Some examples of open source software, such as knoppix, OpenOffice,StarOffice and others.
