ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING A CPU

On the 21^st of October, Sir Hairudin instructed us to go to 322.02 at level 3 in N28 so that we can learn how to assemble and disassemble there. We are split according to a group of 4 or 5 people and each every one of us plays a different role in completing task. There are several technicians to guide and assist us during the class. Our task is to disassemble the CPU using a provided screwdriver and after we finish disassemble it we have to assemble it back in one piece, not only that we have to make sure that the computer can boot up. Here’s a step by step explanation on how to assemble a CPU. First, you need to install the motherboard, lower the motherboard into the case until it aligns with the I/O bezel and tightens the screws. Next, we need to install the case fan on top of the motherboard to cool down the system. After that, we need to put the power supply in its place and we must perfectly position it so that it would be locked in its place. Next, put the RAM in its slot, make sure you put the RAM in its correct side so that the CPU will work, press gently on both ends of the RAM until it makes a clicking sounds. After we install the RAM, we put the hard drive and optical drive in its slot and then screw it its place. Then, we connect all the cables into its slot, we can construct the motherboard manual to make sure we connect it to the right place because incorrect connections can damage components.

They creep, crawl, hop, jump, scamper, slither, fly – you name it.  Some have fur, others feathers, maybe armored scales.  And they’re generally things you don’t want around - that’s why they’re called pests. One definition of a pest is “a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production)”; another – “one that pesters or annoys; nuisance.”  Think about the things you generally regard as a pest around the house and garden - ants, rats, flies, snails, spiders, mosquitoes, fleas, gophers and moles, deer or weeds.  Those are the visible ones.  There are also the invisible microbes that cause disease and can wreak havoc in your garden.  They may all fit the description of something that you consider detrimental to you, your family, your pets or your plants – they’re pests.  

It’s not enough for pests just to be gross, weird and freaky. No, pests need to make even more problems for humans. Pests are kind of overachievers that way. Some of these problems can be a major annoyance–not to mention expensive!

Every kind of common pest in Malaysia can do its own unique form of damage to your home and health. If you have any of these pests, keep an eye out for ways you can protect yourself and your property from their destructive tendencies.
