The system unit is the main part of a personal computer. Inexperienced users fully associate it with a computer. Indeed, it contains all the important components for working with input and output devices. The device of the system unit is not complicated, so you can assemble it yourself. Let's analyze the main details of the system unit and the assembly procedure.
Necessary
- 1) Motherboard
- 2) Power supply
- 3) Processor
- 4) Radiator
- 5) Cooler
- 6) Video adapter
- 7) Drive for discs
- 8) Loops and cables
- 9) RAM
- 10) Winchester
- 11) Heat transfer paste
- 12) Screwdriver
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to install the motherboard. The main components of the system unit are located on it. It is attached to the wall of the system unit with screws. Modern motherboards carry installed components for sound and network cards.
Step 2
Install the power supply after installing the motherboard. It is usually located in the upper left corner of the case. We attach it to the system unit using four bolts. The bolts are screwed in from the outside of the body. Insert the main plug into the corresponding socket on the motherboard. There is a special latch on the plug that must snap into place.
Step 3
Then proceed to install the processor into the socket. Perform this operation with extreme caution. If you damage the internal contacts of the processor, then its operation will not be guaranteed. Lubricate the outer surface of the processor with a thin layer of heat-conducting paste. Then insert the processor into the socket.
Step 4
Now you need to install a heatsink on the processor. Apply a thin layer of paste to the inside of the heatsink and lean against the processor. Then screw it to the holder. Some radiators have a latch. In this case, just snap the petals in place.
Step 5
Install a cooler on the radiator. After screwing it to the radiator, insert the cooler chip into the connector on the motherboard. Install other coolers in the same way. One cooler should be on the top wall of the case, the other on the back.
Step 6
Insert the video card into the PCI-Express slot. Secure it with a screw. Install the hard drive and disk drive on a special shelf. Secure them with screws. Connect the appropriate power supply cables to these devices. Connect the drive to the motherboard using a ribbon cable. There is a similar cable (SATA) for the hard drive. After that, install the RAM sticks.
Step 7
After assembly, check again that the system unit devices are securely fastened. Close the computer cover.
