Types of Computers
Before looking at the various components, it is useful to distinguish
between two different types of computers: desktop computers and laptop
computers.
System Unit
It is where all your computer
peripherals are attached such as
mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers
and etc. It is composed of 6 basic
components of system unit, namely;
motherboard, processor, ram, hard
drive, video card and power supply. It
is often called as CPU but it is not, the
CPU (central processing unit) is the
processor itself.

Motherboard
The core of the system, it
really is the PC. Everything else is
connected to it, and it controls
everything in the system. Common
form factors are ATX and MicroAtx.
MicroAtx is now the most popular
among PC users because of its
smaller size.
Memory
It is the system memory often
called as RAM (random access memory).
This is the primary memory, which holds
all the programs and data the processor
is using at a given time. All memory
accessible at any instant (randomly) by a
microprocessor.

Hard Drive
The primary archival storage
memory for the system. It is where we
saved our files and data including our
operating system, antivirus and other
applications. There are two types of
hard drive; we have PATA (Parallel
Attachment Packet Interface) then SATA
(Serial Attachment Packet Interface).
Video Card
Controls the information you
see on the monitor. This is also
called the video card or graphics
adapter. On many recent low-cost
desktop systems and virtually all
portable systems, video might be
built into motherboard or included
as part of the motherboard’s chipset.
Power Supply
The one that feeds electrical
power (voltages and currents) to every
single part in the PC. The latest
power supply support both SATA and
PATA connectors.

To install the motherboard we need parts that should have been
included with your purchased components:
I/O Bezel is a trim panel installed in the back of the case that surrounds
the interface ports on the motherboard. It should be included with the
motherboard. Figure 12 shows the contents of the motherboard box.
Standoffs are installed in the case screw holes to create a riser that
separates the case and motherboard. The screws install into the
standoffs as shown in figure 13. Screws and standoffs should be
included with the case, but it is a good idea to order these items just in
case they aren't included.
1. Install the I/O bezel plate into the opening in the back of the case (figure
14). It pushes in from the inside.
2. Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw into the motherboard
mounting holes shown in figure 14. Check the screw hole locations on
the motherboard for exact placement.
3. Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O bezel.

The hard drive is the device that stores all of your data. It is 3.5"
wide and needs to be mounted so that you can gain access to the cable
connections on the back (figure 16). If that is not possible you may
need to connect cables before you install the drive. To mount the drive:
1. Find a 3.5" drive bay to install the drive in. If you have trouble finding a
place to mount the drive consult your case documentation for
suggestions.
2. Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides are lined up
with the holes in the case.
3. Install the screws.

Step 10: Install RAM
Figure 22 Figure 23
The RAM is the temporary memory location that the processor
works from. Permanently stored data is pulled from disks and stored in
RAM while the processor works with it. The memory is easy to install:
1. Set the RAM board in the socket as shown in figure 22. Check to see that
the notch in the board is in the correct location. If it is not, turn it
around 180º.
2. Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into the socket. Make sure
the tabs lock into place as shown in figure 23.
Caution: Pressing the boards in when the tab is not aligned could cause
damage to the RAM boards as well as the motherboard.

2. Set the fan assembly on the CPU with mounting tabs aligned.
3. Pull the locking rod down on the fan assembly to lock into place.
4. Connect the fan assembly's power connector to the motherboard. Consult
the manual to determine proper placement.
Figure 25
The case fan is usually installed on the back panel of the case. If the
fan mount is not obvious consult the case documentation. To mount
the fan:
1. Align the mounting holes by holding the fan to the mounting pad on the
inside of the case as shown in figure 25. The fan needs to be mounted so
that it blows air out of the case.
2. Insert the screws from the outside of the case and tighten.

Every device that has been installed needs power. In figure 27, the power
supply connectors are shown. The motherboard has two power
connections, and there are two connectors specifically for SATA devices
(drives). The other connectors will run fans and other non-SATA devices.
Data cables connect drives and front panel devices to the motherboard.
Please consult the motherboard documentation for the exact placement
of connectors.
Figure 28
Now that the components are completely installed, the last thing to do
is to reinstall the side panels on the case. The computer is now ready to be
turned on and to have software loaded on it. If the computer has problems
starting up, check all component connections and mounting to make sure
that you have hooked everything up correctly. Consult individual component
manuals for specific troubleshooting information if problems persist.

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Define hard boot and soft boot
2. Describe the function of BIOS
3. Identify the step on how to change the Boot Order
in BIOS
This information sheet will discuss for how to perform and configure the
BIOS Setting.
Booting a Computer
When we turn on a computer, it is known as ‘boot’ or ‘booting’. There are
two ways to boot a computer,
Hard boot
Soft boot
Soft boot refers to booting on a computer using its power button or software
commands
(Such as Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination). Soft boot skips the self-test that take
place after a hard boot. Hence, it is faster to boot a computer with a soft
boot.

BIOS (Basic Input Output System)
BIOS is also used to identify and configure the hardware in a computer such
as the hard drive, floppy drive, optical drive, CPU, memory, etc.
The BIOS is accessed and configured through the BIOS Setup Utility. The
BIOS Setup Utility is, for all reasonable purposes, the BIOS itself. All
available options in BIOS are configurable via the BIOS Setup Utility.

Step by step for how to change the Boot Order in BIOS
Step 1
Restart the Computer and Watch for the BIOS Setup Message
Changing the boot order of the "bootable" devices on your computer, like
your hard drive or bootable media in a USB port (e.g. flash drive), floppy
drive, or optical drive, is very easy.
The BIOS setup utility is where you change boot order settings.
Don't see the SETUP message or can't press the key fast enough? See
our How to Access the BIOS Setup Utility guide for lots of tips and tricks for
getting into BIOS.
Note: The boot order is a BIOS setting so it's operating system independent.
In other words, it doesn't matter if you have Windows 10, Windows 8,
Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Linux, or any other PC operating
system on your hard drive or other bootable device - these boot sequence
change instructions will still apply.

Step 2
After pressing the correct keyboard command from the previous step, you
will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
All BIOS utilities are a little different, so yours may look like this or it may
look completely different. No matter how your BIOS setup utility appears,
they are all basically a set of menus containing many different settings for
your computer's hardware.
In this particular BIOS, the menu options are listed horizontally at the top of
the screen, the hardware options are listed in the middle of the screen (grey
area), and the instructions for how to move around the BIOS and make
changes are listed at the bottom of the screen.
Using the instructions given for navigating around your BIOS utility, locate
the option for changing the boot order.
Note: Since every BIOS setup utility is different, the specifics on where the
boot order options are located varies from computer to computer. The menu
option or configuration item might be called Boot Options, Boot, Boot Order,
etc. The boot order option may even be located within a general menu option
like Advanced Options, Advanced BIOS Features, or Other Options.

Step 3
Locate and Navigate to the Boot Order Options in BIOS
The order in which the devices are listed is the order in which your
computer will look for operating system information - in other words, the
"boot order."
With the boot order shown above, BIOS will first try to boot from any devices
it considers "hard drives," which usually means the integrated hard drive
that's in the computer.
If no hard drives are bootable, BIOS will next look for bootable media in the
CD-ROM drive, next for bootable media that's attached (like a flash drive),
and finally it will look on the network.
To change which device to boot from first, follow the directions on the BIOS
setup utility screen to change the boot order. In this example BIOS, the boot
order can be changed using the + and - keys.

Step 4
Make Changes to the Boot Order
As you can see above, we've changed the boot order from Hard Drive shown
in the previous step to the CD-ROM Drive as an example.
BIOS will now look for a bootable disc in the optical disc drive first, before
trying to boot from the hard drive, and also before trying to boot from any
removable media like a floppy drive or flash drive, or a network resource.
Make whatever boot order changes you need and then proceed to the next
step to save your settings.
Step 5
Save Changes to the BIOS Setup Utility

Before your boot order changes take effect, you will need to save the BIOS
changes you made.
To save your changes, follow the instructions given to you in your BIOS
utility to navigate to the Exit or Save and Exit menu.
Locate and choose the Exit Saving Changes (or similarly worded) option to
save the changes you made to the boot order.
Step 6
Confirm Boot Order Changes and Exit BIOS
Choose Yes when prompted to save your BIOS configuration changes and
exit.
Your boot order changes, and any other changes you may have made while
in BIOS, are now saved and your computer will restart automatically.

Step 7
Start the Computer with the New Boot Order
When your computer restarts, BIOS will attempt to boot from the first device
in the boot order you specified. If the first device is not bootable, your
computer will try to boot from the second device in the boot order, and so
on.
Note: In Step 4, we set the first boot device to the CD-ROM Drive as an
example. As you can see in the screenshot above, the computer is
attempting to boot from the CD but is asking for a confirmation first. This
only happens on some bootable CDs and will not show up when booting to
Windows or other operating systems on a hard drive. Configuring the boot
order to boot from a disc like a CD, DVD, or BD is the most common reason
for making boot order changes, so I wanted to include this screenshot as an
example.
