INTRODUCTION
One of the basic skills that you must acquire in computer system servicing is to independently assemble and
disassemble a personal computer or simply setting up a PC. After familiarizing with all the tools, devices, peripherals
and safety precautions I believe that you are now ready to gain another experience in CSS by going through this
lesson.
Step1. Unplugging
The first thing you do is to unplug every cable that is plugged in to your computer. That includes
the cables such as Power, USB, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet, Ethernet, Modem, etc. Just unplug all the
cables for safety purposes.

First, unscrew the four screws at the back of the computer. On most computer cases, there will be
large knobs that you can unscrew by hand or by screw driver on the back-right side of the computer.
The left side has small screws because on that side you can't access much on the inside.
Step 3. Removing the System Fan
First, unplug the fan from the motherboard. You can find the plug by following the wire from the fan. It
should be labeled "SYS_FAN1". Next, you will have to unscrew the fan from the outside. You should now
be able to lift the fan out of the PC.
The CPU fan is located right on top of the CPU heat sink, which is a large
piece of metal with fins on the top. The CPU fan plugs into the motherboard in
an awkward place that is hard to access. But just follow the wires and you
should easily find it. It is labelled "CPU FAN1". To remove the fan from the
heat sink, remove the four screws securing it in place.
Unplug every wire coming from the power supply. You must disconnect the motherboard (very
large connector/plug), CD/DVD drive(s) power, internal hard drive power and portable hard drive slot
power.
Step 6. CD/ DVD Drive(s)
Unplug the IDE or SATA cable from the back of the drive. Once that is completed, pull on the tab
securing the drive-in place, then push it out from the inside.
Unplug the connector at the back of the slot, and unplug the other end from the motherboard. Also
unplug the SATA cable from the motherboard and the hard drive. The portable hard drive slot is secured
the same way the CD/DVD drive is, with a tab. Pull on the tab, then slide the slot out.
To remove the RAM, push down on both tabs holding the RAM in place which located at the both ends
of the RAM.
Step 9. Motherboard
The motherboard has seven screws holding it to the frame, which are indicated by large white circles around
them. Remove them and then lift the motherboard out of the frame.
1. Take Inventory
2. Make Space, Make Time
3. Prepare Grounding Protection
4. Have the Drivers Ready
1. Great care should be taken when installing the motherboard. First, take the board out of its
packaging and put it on top of the antistatic bag.
2. Before you secure the motherboard onto the PC case/chassis, inspect it carefully for
any visible defects.
3. Next, review the motherboard manual, to make sure you are familiar with the motherboard layout and
understand which socket is which. Manuals are extremely helpful, usually easy to read, and include
illustrations.
Step 3. Install the CPU
1. Follow the manufacturer's directions to install the heat sink and the fan that will cool the
processor. If you bought an OEM CPU and a separate heat sink, you may need to spread a
thin layer of the thermal grease that came with the heat sink over the chip to ensure proper
transfer of heat (some heat sinks come with this grease already applied).
2. Attach the clip that holds the heat sink in place keeping in mind that it may require a fair amount
of force. Again, follow the instructions that came with the heat sink. They will show you how to
fit it correctly. If you are in doubt, you can visit the manufacturer's website for more information.
3. Plug the CPU fan's power connector into the proper connector on the motherboard.
In order to install the memory modules, insert them into the proper sockets and push down firmly
but evenly until the clips on both sides of the socket pop into place. If your motherboard supports dual
channel memory, consult the user manual to determine which pairs of RAM sockets you should use. The
motherboard and the CPU are the brain and nerve center of your PC, so selecting these components is
the most important decision you'll make.
Step 6. Place the motherboard into the case
1. Some PC cases have a removable motherboard tray. If yours does, remove the screws holding
it in place and pull it out of the case.
2. Note the pattern of the holes in your motherboard, and screw brass standoffs into the
motherboard tray or into the PC case in the correct locations (ALWAYS check the manual and
follow their instructions to the letter).
1. Check the layout of the sockets on the motherboard, and confirm that the ports on your
motherboard's back panel match the holes on the case's Input/output (I/O) shield that is installed
in your case. If necessary, remove the old I/O shield by tapping it firmly a few times with the butt-
end of a screwdriver, and then replace it with the shield that came with the new motherboard.
2. Carefully position the motherboard on top of the brass standoffs, line up all the
holes, and use the screws that accompanied the case to fasten down the motherboard. If you
are using a removable tray in your system, slide the tray and motherboard back into the case
and then secure the tray.
Step 8. Connect the Power Supply
1. First, plug the large ATX power connector
from your power supply into the matching
port on your motherboard. Look Figure X
for details.
4. Attach each of the tiny leads from the power and reset switches, the hard-disk activity lights, the
PC speaker, and any front-panel USB and FireWire ports to the corresponding pin on your motherboard.
The needle-nose pliers are useful for manipulating small pieces.
