PART A – List at least FOUR tools needed to assemble a PC. For each tool, Provide picture(s), explanations of its functions and its importance
TOOLS USED FOR PC ASSEMBLY
1.0 Screwdriver sets
Functions:
Screwdrivers are used to hold the PC components together by installing the screws. There are many types of screwdrivers needed to assemble the PC as there are different types of screws in the PC assembly.
Importance:
Screwdrivers are most important tools in PC assembly because there are many screws needed to hold the PC components in its places. Screwdrivers are needed to make sure all the components hold tightly in its respective places to ensure that the PC will work in the end.
2.0 Thermal paste
Function:
Thermal paste is needed to paste the CPU cooler. The CPU cooler is attached to processor on the motherboard by using the thermal paste.
Importance:
Thermal paste is important to make sure that the CPU cooler is attached tightly to the processor. It is to ensure a good cooling system of the PC to avoid the PC from getting overheated.
3.0 Flashlight
Function:
Flashlight is used to light up the internal space of the PC cabinet during the PC assembly.
Importance:
Flashlight is needed to allow us to have a better vision during the PC assembly. It also can prevent us from making mistake during the PC assembly. It can provide a better working environment during the PC assembly.
4.0 Zip Ties / Twist Ties
Functions:
Zip ties or twist ties are needed to tie up the cables to keep it tidy. During the PC assembly, it can help us to identify the cables needed easier and avoid mistake during the connection.
Importance;
Zip ties or twist ties are important to ensure a good cable management. The cables which is tied up neatly can prevent dust accumulation. Moreover, it also can prevent us from connecting the wrong cables.
5.0 Pliers
Function:
A pair of pliers is needed to hold the tiny screw. A needle-nose pliers can be used to cut extra cable during the PC assemble.
Importance:
A pair of pliers is helpful for us to hold tiny screw and it makes our work easier. Meanwhile, a needle-nose pliers can ensure a good cable management by cutting extra cables which makes our work untidy.
PART B – Sketch of a mother board layout
1.0 Sketch Diagram of A Motherboard Layout
2.0 For each keyword in Table 1.0. Provide picture(s), explanations of its functions and example of models.
| Keyword | Functions | Example of Models |
|
Graphic card |
Graphics cards allow computers to produce graphics and images more quickly. A graphics card has its own processor, a GPU or graphical processing unit. The video card connects to the motherboard and the monitor. This allows the card to accept information from the CPU (central processing unit) and send output to the monitor. |
|
|
USB cable |
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a medium that connects computers with other electronic devices such as mice, keyboards, printers, scanners, cellphones, flash drives, DVD writers, game consoles, cameras, modems and even used as a medium for controlling devices. test equipment and production machines. |
|
|
IDE cable |
IDE, an acronym for Integrated Drive Electronics, is a standard type of connection for storage devices in a computer. Generally, IDE refers to the types of cables and ports used to connect some hard drives and optical drives to each other and to the motherboard.
|
The two most common types of IDE ribbon cables :
|
|
CPU / Processor |
Central Processing Unit, or the heart and brains of the computer. The CPU uses output devices to process instructions it receives from input devices and to provide the required output |
|
|
Slots (IDE, PC) |
An engineered technique for adding capability to a computer in the form of connection pinholes (typically, in the range of 16 to 64 closely-spaced holes) and a place to fit an expansion card containing the circuitry that provides some specialized capability, such as video acceleration, sound, or disk drive control. |
|
|
Power supply |
convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. |
|
|
Heat sinks |
A heat sink is a component that increases the heat flow away from a hot device. It accomplishes this task by increasing the device's working surface area and the amount of low-temperature fluid that moves across its enlarged surface area. |
|
|
RAM |
To provide fast temporary storage and workspace for data and program code, which includes both applications and the system's operating system along with hardware drivers for each hardware device, such as hard disk controllers, keyboards and printers. |
|
|
|
is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage and one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material |
|
|
CD ROM |
(Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) A type of CD disc that can only be read, but not recorded. Used to store programs and data files, a CD-ROM holds 650MB or 700MB of data and employs a different recording format than the audio CD (CD-DA), from which it evolved. |
|
|
SATA cable |
used to connect devices in computer cable assemblies, such as storage devices, for example. The SATA technology itself is a connecter interface primarily used for computer bus connections in storage applications. In this application, the cables are used to connect a mass storage device (e.g. hard disk drives, optical drives, solid-state memory drives) to a host bus adapter such as a motherboard. |

PART C – Step by Step PC Assembly
Step 1 – Prepare the stuff that you do to build a PC
“ Each of this part has their own highlight, depends on you to buy this things ”.
Step 2 – Place the core and heatsink to the motherboard
“You must be carefull when you put this thing together ”.
(1) Install a CPU/ processor in the socket provided on the motherboard. Make sure that the CPU is held tight in the IDE slot. After that, heat sink is pasted onto the motherboard or IDE slot by using some some thermal paste. Connect the heat sink to the motherboard by using the cables provided.
(2) Then you have to put the core in little box in the middle,
(3) After you put the core,lockedit. And give a glue to put the heatsink.
(4) Then tight it.
Step 3 – Installing RAM in the IDE slots
“ Install the RAM into the IDE slots carefully. Make sure that it is held tight in the slot before the motherboard is placed in the PC”.
Step 4 – place SMPS inside the CPU
“ Place the SMPS inside, and then tighten the screw ”.
*Install SMPS or power supply to the PC by placing it in the PC. Tighten the screw of the power supply or SMPS.
Step 5 – place the motherboard
“ Place the Motherboard near the video card output, then tighten the screw ”.
Step 6 – Install Graphic card (AFTER THE MOTHERBOARD IS PLACED)
“ Insert the graphic card into the card holder. Screw the graphic card to ensure that it is at the right place”.
Step 7 – place the DVD drive inside the CPU
“Open the DVD drive case, then you put it in ”.
Place the CD ROM inside the CPU and screw it to make sure that it is in the correct place.
Step 8 – place the hard disk
“ Place the hard disk, then tighten the screw ”.
Step 9 – place ram in the motherboard
“ First open the ram lock, then put the ram in and tight it ”.
**Little tips: you must be carefull with the lock.
Step 10 - Put the output and input cable from each part inside CPU
“ Connect the cable between all the part you put in ”.
Connect the CD-ROM to the motherboard by using IDE cable, while the hard disk is connected through the SATA cable.
Connect all the components to the power supply by using the cables. Connect the switch of the PC and USB to the motherboard by using the USB cables.
Step 11 - the result of assembling the CPU
This is the result of assembling the PC.
Last Step - Closing the case and connecting the peripherals
