Assemble is the most basic thing to do when trying to build a PC. The ability to assemble a PC should be owned by each user in order to avoid dependence on the services of computer services when there is little problems really trivial, but because of ignorance is considered as something big. With the knowledge of the hardware will also allow us to expand efficiently in accordance with the needs and the allotment of our PC.
The following will be discussed on how to assemble a computer, especially for those who are just learning .. of some references that I learned .. then the following will be explained step by step how to assemble a computer, hopefully useful.
Components of computer assemblers are available on the market with a wide selection of quality and price. By assembling your own computer, we can determine the types of components, capabilities and facilities of the computer according kebutuhan.Tahapan in computer assembly comprising:
A. Preparation
B. Assembling
C. Testing
D. Troubleshooting
Preparation
Good preparation will facilitate the assembly of the computer and avoid possible problems related timbul.Hal in preparation include:
Computer Configuration Determination
Kompunen preparation and equipment
Security
Computer Configuration Determination
Computer configuration relates to the determination of types of components and features of the computer and how all components can work as a computer system as desired kita.Penentuan starting components of the type of processor, motherboard and other components. Factors suitability or compatibility of the components of the motherboard must be considered, because each type of motherboard support this type of processor, memory modules, ports and I / O bus is different.
Preparation Components and Supplies
Computer components and equipment for the assembly is prepared for assembly prepared in advance to facilitate assembly. Prepared equipment consists of:
Computer Components
Completeness of components such as wires, screws, jumpers, bolts and so on
Manuals and reference books from the component
The tools in the form of flat and philips screwdriver
Software operating system, device drivers and application programs.
The book takes as a reference manual to know the chart position of the connection elements (connectors, ports and slots) and element configuration (jumpers and switches) and how to setting jumpers and switches are suitable for computer or CD dirakit.Diskette Software needed to install the Operating System, device drivers from the device, and application programs on a computer that is assembled.
Security
Security precautions needed to avoid problems such as damage to the components by static charge, falls, excessive heat or spills cairan. Protection of damage due to static electricity by:
Using anti-static wristband or touching a metal surface on the chassis before handling components to remove static charge.
Not directly touch the electronic components, connectors or circuit paths but hold on a metal or plastic bodies found on the component.
Assembling
Stage of the process on a computer assembly comprising:
Preparing the motherboard
Installing the processor
Installing heatsink
Replacing the Memory Module
install the motherboard on the casing
Installing the Power Supply
Installing the Motherboard and VGA Cables
Installing the Drive
Installing Adapter Card
Final Settlement
1. Preparing the motherboard
Check the motherboard manual to locate the jumpers for CPU speed setting, speed multiplier and input voltage to the motherboard. Set a jumper as instructed, set the jumpers wrong voltage can damage the processor.
2. Installing the processor
Processor is more easily installed before the motherboard occupies the casing. How to install the processor socket and slot type socket berbeda.Jenis
Determine the position of pin 1 on the processor and the processor socket on the motherboard, usually located on the corner marked with dots, triangles or indentation.
Enforce the position of the locking lever to open the socket.
Insert the processor into the socket by first aligning the position of the legs of the processor with the socket holes. Squeeze until there is no gap between the processor with the socket.
Lower the locking lever back.
Slot Type
Attach a buffer (bracket) at the two ends of the slots on the motherboard so that the position of the peg holes with a hole in the motherboard meet
Insert the pegs on a peg and locking peg holes
Slide the card processor in between the two anchoring and press to fit into the slot hole.
3. Installing Heatsink
Heatsink function is to remove the heat generated by the processor through the conduction of heat from the processor to optimize heat transfer heatsink.Untuk the heatsink should be fitted tightly on the top of the processor with some clip as a drag while the contacts on the heatsink surface coated conductor panas.Bila gene equipped with a fan heatsink then the power connector on the fan is connected to the fan connector on the motherboard.
4. Replacing the Memory Module
Memory modules are generally installed sequentially from the smallest socket number. The order of installation can be seen from the diagram motherboard.Setiap the type of memory module SIMM, DIMM and RIMM can be distinguished by the position of grooves on the sides and bottom of the modul.Cara set for each type of memory module as follows.
SIMM Type
Adjust the position of grooves on the module with the protrusions in the slot.
Insert the module by creating an oblique angle of 45 degrees to the slot
Push the module straight up in the slot, the locking lever on the slot will automatically lock the module.
This type of DIMM and RIMM
How to install the DIMM and RIMM modules together and there is only one way so it will not be reversed because there are two grooves for guidance. Perbedaanya DIMM and RIMM at position curve
Lay locking catches at the end of the slot
adjust the position of grooves on the connector module with the protrusions in the slot. then insert the module into the slot.
Locking latches automatically lock the module in the slot when the module is installed right.
5. Replacing the motherboard on the casing
Motherboard mounted to the chassis with screws and mounting (standoff). How to install as follows:
Determine the position of mounting holes for each plastic and metal. Holes for the metal holder (metal spacer) is characterized by a ring on the edge of the hole.
Attach metal or plastic holder on the tray casing in accordance with the position of each corresponding mounting holes on the motherboard.
Place the motherboard on the casing so that the head holder tray out of the hole on the motherboard. Replace the locking screw on each metal holder.
Attach frame I / O ports (I / O Shield) on the motherboard if any.
Replace the casing tray that is mounted on the chassis and lock the motherboard with screws.
6. Installing the Power Supply
Some type of casing is equipped with power supply. When the power supply is not included then the way the installation is as follows:
Enter the power supply on the shelf at the back of the casing. Replace the four screws to lock.
Connect the power connector from the power supply to the motherboard. ATX power connector types have only one way of installation so it will not be reversed. For non-ATX type connectors with two separate cables then ground black must be placed side by side and mounted in the middle of the motherboard power connector. Connect the power cord for the fan, if using a fan for cooling the CPU.
7. Installing the Motherboard and VGA Cables
Once the motherboard is installed in the casing next step is to install the cable I / O on the motherboard and the casing panels.
Connect the data cable for the floppy drive connector on the floppy controller on the motherboard
Attach the IDE cable to the primary and secondary IDE connector on the motherboard.
For non-ATX motherboard. Connect the serial and parallel port cable to the connector on the motherboard. Note the position of pin 1 to install.
On the back of the casing there is a hole to install additional types of non-slot port. Open the lock plate screw holes covered lalumasukkan port connector port that you want to install and plug the screw again.
When the mouse port is not available at the back of the card casing mouse connector should be installed and connected to the mouse connector on the motherboard.
Wiring connectors on the front panel of the switch casing, LED, internal speakers and ports are mounted in front of the casing when the motherboard. Check your motherboard diagram to locate the proper connector.
