LESSON 9: PREPARING

FOR DISASSEMBLY
Before going into the disassembly proper, you will have to
prepare all the materials that you will need.
Steps in disassembling a
System Unit
1. Make sure that the computer system in
turned off and disconnected from the
power supply.
2. Remove unnecessary hand accessories
before disassembly.
3. Prepare the following hand tools and
equipment

a. Screwdriver
b. Flashlight
c. Electrostatic mat
d. Anti-static wrist strap
e. Thermal paste
4. First, place the electrostatic mat on the
working table.

Put on an electrostatic wrap/grounding strap


around your wrist and connect the other end to
unpainted part
of the computer case.
This will prevent the buildup of static
electricity from your body.
5. Open the computer case. Remove the
side panels then lift the panel away from
the computer case.

(There are different ways of


opening cases depending on the
manufacturer so make sure to check the
manual before handling the
system case.)
5. Open the computer case. Remove the
side panels then lift the panel away from
the computer case.

(There are different ways of


opening cases depending on the
manufacturer so make sure to check the
manual before handling the
system case.)
6. Disconnect wires, buses and cables. All of the
device that have been installed will need to be
disconnected from the power supply,
motherboard, and the device.

Disconnect all the cables inside starting from


the 24-pin ATX power connector followed by
the 4-pin 12 volts
power connectors, and the remove all the SATA
power connectors.
7. To remove the power supply, the system
case should have a large box where the
power supply is
installed.

a. Unscrew the bolts from the power supply


and put them in a box so you won't
misplace them.
b. Remove the power supply by sliding it
out.
8. To remove the optical drive, look for the
drive bay usually located on the upper
portion of the system
case.
a. Unscrew the bolts that hold the optical
drive to the system case.
b. Slide out the optical drive.
9. Remove the hard disk drive. The system
case should have hard drive bays where
the hard disk is placed.

a. Unscrew the bolts that hold the hard


disk on the hard drive bay.
b. Unmount and slide the hard disk out.
10. To remove the motherboard, unscrew
the bolts in the standoffs that screw your
motherboard on the side
of the system case.
Afterwards, the motherboard should come
loose from the system case.
11. To remove the RAM, look for the
memory slots on the motherboard.

a. The RAM sticks should be in the slots.


b. On both sides of the slot, unlock the tabs
by pulling them down slowly.
c. Place your finger lightly on top of the stick
to support the RAM when it is released.
d. The RAM sticks should lock out of place
and be easily removed.
12. To remove the CPU, firs pull the rod that locks
the CPU fan and heat sink to the mounting tabs.

a. Put the CPU fan away.


b. Next, lift the metal rod next to the CPU socket
that hold the CPU.
c. Take note of the arrow that points at the corner
of the processor to its socket.
d. Take the CPU carefully from the socket and
immediately return it once you've noted its
specifications.
13. Once you've disassembled all the
components, you can now write the details
of each component in an
inventory form.
LESSON 10:
ASSEMBLING a
COMPUTER
Before going into the assembly proper, you will have
to prepare all the materials that you will need.
Steps in assembling a
System Unit
1. Prepare all the materials needed for the
computer assembly.

● Screwdriver
● Flashlight
● Brush
● Electrostatic Mat
● Anti static wrist strap
● Thermal Paste
2. First, place the electrostatic mat on the
work table.
3. Put on an electrostatic strap/ground
strap around your wrist and connect the
other end to the unpainted part of the
computer case. (This will prevent the
buildup of static electricity from your
body.)
4. Open the computer case then lift the
panel away from the computer case.
(There are different ways of
opening cases so make sure to check the
manual before opening the case.)
5. Before installing the CPU, make sure to check
the brand's specific information about the
processor.
● Clean the CPU fan and the heat sink with a brush.
● Lift the metal rod next to he CPU socket. (The CPU should have a
mark in a corner that designates
where it should be placed on the socket.)
● Carefully insert the CPU lining to its markings.
● Push the rod back down to lock the processor into place.
● Following the instructions provided, place a small amount of
thermal compound onto the CPU and
the heat sink.
● Take the CPU fan and align it on the mounting tabs.
● The fan should have a rod to the CPU socket.
● Screw the CPU fan to the motherboard.
● Pull down the rod to lock the fan into place.
● Make sure to place the fan's power connector to the motherboard.
6. To install the RAM, look for the memory slot on
the motherboard.

● The RAM sticks should fit accordingly with the


slots.
● Gently push the RAM from both ends until it
clicks into place at the memory slot.
● The tabs should lock the RAM in.
7. Next, the motherboard is installed by screwing
the standoffs into place. (These will screw in your
motherboard on the side of the system case.)
● Screw accordingly and align with the I/O bezel.
8. To install a hard disk, the system case should
have hard drive bays where the hard disk is
placed.

● Mount the hard disk by sliding it into place


until screw holes are lined up from both hard disk
and the
case.
● Screw them tightly.
9. To install an optical drive, look for the drive
bay usually located on the upper portion of the
system case.

● From the outside, simply slide the optical drive


into place until the screw holes are lined up from
both
optical drive and the case.
● Screw them tightly.
10. To install the power supply, the system case
should have a large box where the power supply is
installed. (This will usually differ depending on
the brand. Align the holes as you mount it to both
the case and the power supply the screw them
tightly.)
11. Finally connect all the cables inside.
All of the devices that have been installed need to
be connected from the power supply.
Carefully read the manual that had come with
your case and motherboard as this usually has the
information on how to properly place the cables.
12. Connect the system unit to a monitor,
keyboard and mouse.
13. Upon turning on the computer, press the key that
would run the BIOS setup. On most computers, it
would either be the DELETE key, F2, or F12.
In the BIOS, you will be able to see the different
devices that you connected. This means that you have
assembled the computer properly and can now
proceed the configuring the BIOS and installing an
operating system.
