Installing computer hardware may seem to be a difficult task but once you know what to do it will be very easy process.
Steps
-
1
Turn Off the computer and unplug all wires connected to the tower and if there is a power switch on the back switch it off.
-
2
Take out the screws on the back of the tower, take out
the panel, then wear an anti-static wrist strap to protect components by
earthing your static electricity, and then take out the motherboard
tray.
-
3
Take the motherboard and screw it on to the motherboard tray then slide it back into the case.
-
4
Firmly insert RAM(Random Access Memory) sticks into the
long and narrow slots usually located at the top right of the
motherboard.
-
5
Carefully place the CPU into the socket that is square shaped on the motherboard then place the CPU fan on top.
-
6
For video cards, look for a slot about the length of your middle finger and has very small lever.
Take out the small case panel about the size of your finger on the back
and firmly insert the card into the slot, make sure the back of the
card comes outside.
- For sound/network cards look for a slot similar to the video card slot, but slightly shorter and without the lever.
-
7
Slowly slide the hard drive into the hard drive bay
usually located at the front of the tower then connected the cables from
the back of the hard drive to the motherboard.
-
8
CD(compact Disk)/DVD(Digital Video Disc) ROM(Read Only
Memory) drives are similar to hard drives, just slide it into the bay at
the top (right or left depending on the panel that was open) and
connect the wires.
-
9
For audio devices match the colors and USB is pretty much self explanatory.
-
10
If you have a video card the back of it should be
sticking outside which is where you connect the monitor cable to, unless
there is no video card then you connect to the motherboard. Video
cards now a days come with adapters for older monitors so make sure to
connect the adapter to the back of the video card before plugging in the
monitor.
