How to Connect a Laptop

to a Projector
1.Setup the projector
facing the screen, and
plug in the power
cord. Set your laptop
next to the projector.
2.Plug one end of VGA
cable (shown above) into
the COMPUTER 1 IN port
on the projector.
3.Plug the other end of the VGA
cable into your laptop's monitor
port. If you have a display
adapter for your laptop, connect
that to the VGA cable before
connecting it to your laptop.
4.Turn on your laptop first. Then
turn on the projector by first
turning power button to | and
then push the top power button.
The lamp will take a minute to
warm up and display.
5.Switch your
monitor
6.If you still do not see
a display after
following these
instructions, check the
source on the
projector.
How to Install Computer
Hardware
1.Turn Off the computer
and unplug all wires
connected to the tower
and if there is a power
switch on the back
switch it off.
2.Take out the screws on the back
of the tower, take out the panel,
then wear an anti-static wrist
strap to protect components by
earthing your static electricity,
and then take out the
motherboard tray.
3.Take the motherboard
and screw it on to the
motherboard tray then
slide it back into the case.
4.Firmly insert
RAM(Random Access
Memory sticks into the
long and narrow slots
usually located at the top
right of the motherboard.
5.Carefully place the CPU
into the socket that is
square shaped on the
motherboard then place the
CPU fan on top.
6.For video cards, look for a slot
about the length of your middle
finger and has very small lever.
Take out the small case panel
about the size of your finger on
the back and fimly insert the card
into the slot, make sure the hack
of the card comes outside,
For sound/network cards
look for a slot similar to the
video card slot, but slightly
shorter and without the
lever.
7.Slowly slide the hard drive
into the hard drive bay
usually located at the front
of the tower then connected
the cables from the back of
the hard drive to the
motherboard.
8.CD compact Disk)/DVD(Digital
Video Disc) ROM(Read Only
Memory) drives are similar to
hard drives, just slide it into the
hay at the top (right or left
depending on the panel that
was open) and connect the
wires.
9.For audio
devices match
the colors and
USB is pretty
much self-
explanatory.
10.If you have a video card the back of
it should be sticking outside which is
where you connect the monitor cable
to unless there is no video card then
you connect to the motherboard.
Video cards now a days come with
adapters for older monitors so make
sure to connect the adapter to the
hack of the video card before plugging
in the mentor.
Tips…
*While working on the components of
your computer, its always good practice
to use an anti static strap clipped to the
frame of your case to minimize the risk of
zapping your components. If you dont
have an anti static strap, touching either
the frame of your case or your power
supply will ground you enough so that
you can work on the delicate parts of
your PC,
*Do not power on
the computer until all
components are
installed.
Motherboard, hard drive, and
video cards usually come with
electrostatic bags. Before
working rub your hands on
the bags to release any static
electricity in your hands,
Warnings…
If you think you have static and
have no electrostatic bag either
buy grounding equipment or
rub your hands on the outside
of the tower.
• NEVER have
any form of
liquid near
the computer.
How to
Assemble a
Basic Desktop
PC
Step 1: Procuring Parts
First you will need to buy
the parts necessary to
build the computer
The parts we will use in this project are labeled in
figure 1:
Caution: Double check the
manufacturer’s specifications
on all items before you
purchase them. Kits are
supposed to contain
compatible parts, but mistakes
can happen.
Step 2: Gather Tools and Supplies Gather the tools you will need for the
project:
Warning: Using incorrect
tools for a task (such as
turning a screw with a knife
blade) can cause equipment
damage and bodily injury.
Step 3: Open the Case Open the
computer case by removing the side
panels. Find the screws that hold the side
panels in place and remove them (shown
in figure 3 circled in red). The panel is
removed by first sliding it back (figure 4)
then lifting it away from the case (figure
5).
Warning: Case
may have sharp
edges. Handle
with care to avoid
injury.
Step 4: Prepare the Case for
Assembly Three things need
to be done before assembly
begins:
*Remove any parts or
packaging materials that
may have been shipped
inside the case (figure 6).
*Remove the cover for the
optical drive. On our case, we
will be removing the cover on
the highest drive bay to mount
our DVD drive as shown in figure
7. Do this by pressing in the
retaining tabs shown in figure 8.
*Make note of the cables pre-installed
in the case. These should be front
panel connections for features such as
the power switch, audio jacks and usb
ports. If they are not labeled, consult
the manufacturer’s documentation
and label them yourself now before
other parts are installed in the case
(figure 8).
Step 5: Ground Yourself Put the
grounding strap on your wrist (Figure 10)
and connect the other end to the
computer case. If your strap is not
equipped with a clip to hook to the case,
find a place to wedge against the metal as
shown in figure 11. This will prevent any
buildup of static electricity on your body
from damaging the computer
components.
Caution:Static electricity can ruin
computer components. Always
wear a grounding strap when
handling any internal components.
Step 6: Install Motherboard
To install the motherboard
we need parts that should
have been included with
your purchased
components:
*I/O Bezel is a trim panel
installed in the back of the case
that surrounds the interface
ports on the motherboard. It
should be included with the
motherboard. Figure 12 shows
the contents of the motherboard
box.
Standoffs are installed in the case screw
holes to create a riser that separates the
case and motherboard. The screws install
into the standoffs as shown in figure 13.
Screws and standoffs should be included
with the case, but it is a good idea to
order these items just in case they aren't
included.
Follow these
steps to
install the
motherboard
in the case:
Install the I/O bezel plate
into the opening in the back
of the case (figure 14). It
pushes in from the inside
Install standoffs in the case.
The standoffs screw into the
motherboard mounting
holes shown in figure 14.
Check the screw hole
locations on the
motherboard for exact
placement.
3.Lower the
motherboard
into the case
and align with
the I/O bezel.
4.Install the screws.
Figure 15 shows the
motherboard installed in
the case. It works best to
leave the screws loose until
all of them have been
started and the board is
aligned with the bezel.
Caution: To prevent damage
to the motherboard it must
only contact the standoffs
and screws. All of the
standoffs and screws must
be installed.
Step 7: Install Hard Drive
The hard drive is the device that
stores all of your data. It is 3.5"
wide and needs to be mounted so
that you can gain access to the
cable connections on the back
(figure 16). If that is not possible
you may need to connect cables
before you install the drive. To
mount the drive:
Step 8: Install Optical Drive The
optical drive is 5.25" wide and is
installed in the drive bay that we
removed the cover from in a
previous step.
Step 9: Install the CPU The
CPU is the brain of the
computer. It is installed on the
motherboard in the socket
shown in figure 20.To install
the CPU
Step 10: Install RAM The
RAM is the temporary
memory location that the
processor works from
Caution: Pressing the boards in
when the tab is not aligned
could cause damage to the RAM
boards as well as the
motherboard.
Step 11: Install
the CPU Fan The
CPU fan is really
a combination of
a heat sink and
fan together.
Caution: Failure to apply thermal
compound will result in
insufficient cooling and will
cause damage to the CPU and/or
motherboard.
Step 12: Install Case Fan
The case fan is usually
installed on the back
panel of the case
Step 13: Install Power Supply
Consult your case
documentation for details and
then follow these directions to
install the power supply
Step 14: Connect Cables
With all of the components
installed in the case, the jungle of
wires can be daunting. It is
important to consult the
motherboard manual in order to
make sure proper connections are
made. There are two kinds of
connections, power and data.
Warning:
Incorrect
connections can
damage
components and
cause bodily
injury.
Step 15: Wrap-up
Now that the components
are completely installed, the
last thing to do is to reinstall
the side panels on the case
Setting up a
desktop
computer
Step 1: unpacked everything
on the box
Step 2:connect The monitor
Step 3: plug in the keyboard
and mouse
Step 4: u can plug in your
Speaker/headphones
Step 5:Connect the
power supply cable
