This set of instructions will help you assemble a basic computer capable of running most
modern software packages encountered by a casual
user. Modern computers become more affordable
when users supplement their monetary investment
with a few hours of effort. This computer build will be
very basic and will be the minimum hardware
necessary to have a functional system. After you have
all of the parts and materials needed, it will take
between 2 and 4 hours to assemble your computer
and you will need to be able to use simple hand tools,
such as a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

Warning: Using incorrect tools for a task (such as turning a screw with a knife blade) can
cause equipment damage and bodily injury.
Put the grounding strap on your wrist (Figure 10) and connect the other end to the computer
case. If your strap is not equipped with a clip to hook to the case, find a place to wedge against
2
the metal as shown in figure 11. This will prevent any buildup of static electricity on your body
from damaging the computer components.
Caution:Static electricity can ruin computer components. Always wear a grounding strap when
handling any internal components.
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.
4. Install the screws.
Figure 15 shows the motherboard installed in the case. It works best to leave the screws loose
until all of them have been started and the board is aligned with the bezel.
Caution: To prevent damage to the motherboard it must only contact the standoffs and
screws. All of the standoffs and screws must be installed.

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.
The optical drive is 5.25" wide and is installed in the drive bay
that we removed the cover from in a previous step. Cable
access considerations apply to this drive also. To install the
drive:
1. Slide the drive into the drive bay until the screw holes
are lined up and the front of the drive is flush with the front of
the case (figure 18). Make sure that it is orientated correctly.
2. Install the screws.

2. Lift the small metal rod next to the socket as shown in figure 20.
3. Find the corresponding marking on the CPU socket and insert the CPU so that the markings are lined
up.
4. Push the rod down to lock the processor in place (figure 21).
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.

4. Connect the fan assembly's power connector to the motherboard. Consult the manual to
determine proper placement.
Caution: Failure to apply thermal compound will result in insufficient cooling and will cause damage to
the CPU and/or motherboard.

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.
Warning: Incorrect connections can damage components and cause bodily injury.

Computer Network - is a group of computers interconnected with one another.
Network devices connect to one another using the following devices and materials:
4. ROUTER -The role of router is to route packets to other networks until that packet
ultimately reaches its destination. One of the key features of a packet is that it not only
contains data, but the destination address of where it's going.Commonly, a router is
connected to at least two networks, two LANs or WANs. Router could be wired or
wireless.

File and Printer sharing
(Microsoft Windows XP)
If you have an internet connection on your laptop by means of your Wireless adapter, or a USB Modem,
you could share this to other computer, and here it what it takes:
Step 1: Create a cross over cable. How to create a cross over cable?
The following CAT5 wiring diagram and crossover cable diagram will teach an installer how to correctly
assemble a CAT-5 cable RJ45 connectors for regular network cables as well as crossover cables. The
first set of instructions are for standard network patch cables (EIA/TIA-568B). EIA/TIA-568B, also known
as standard Ethernet, is the type of CAT-5 connection used to connect IP security cameras and network
video recorders (NVRs) in IP surveillance systems. If you are creating a crossover cable, please click
here for the crossover cable diagram.
17
4. Insert the RJ45 connector into the crimping tool (again carefully make sure the wires stay inserted
in the correct order). Crimp down firmly on the crimping tool to permanently attach the RJ45
5. to the CAT5 cable.
To create a crossover cable with cat-5 cable follow the same instructions as above for CAT-5
wiring except when you get to step #2, use the below crossover cable diagram:
18
Step 4: Go to Network sharing center.
Step 6: Right click on your wireless adapter (the one connected on the internet) then click
properties
Step 7: Click
Sharing tab
and choose allow other user to
connect through this computer's
internet connection, then choose the
LAN adapter where you connect your
cross over cable.
19
Note: your wireless adapter or the network device that you shared will become the gateway and
will serve as a gateway for other computers connected on it.
Also, choose obtain IP address automatically option if your internet connection is a dynamic
type, If static, you will be required to configure this correctly.
20
following:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
The Default Gateway is your router IP address since it is set as DHCP server unless someone
changed it.
4. Now you know your router's IP address, you can now access its configuration utility. To
access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet Explorer and enter the IP
address of the router (192.168.0.1).
6. Enter the user name (admin) and your password. Leave the password blank by default.
21
Main Router Access Point
Step 1
Connect your computer to a second LAN port on your TP-Link N router using an
Ethernet cable.* Login to the TP-Link web interface through the IP address listed
on the label on the bottom of your TP-Link N router (see below link for
assistance):
Note: Though possible, it is not recommended to attempt this process over Wi-Fi
Step 2
Go to Network>LAN on the side menu and change the LAN IP address of your TP-
Link N router to an IP address on the same segment of the main router. This IP
address should be outside the main router’s DHCP range.
22
Note: After changing the LAN IP address a reboot will be required and you will need to
log into the TP-Link N router with the new IP address.
Step 3
Step 4
23
Note: If using a dual band router, repeat this process for the 5GHz band as well.
Step 5
Go to DHCP>DHCP Settings and select Disable the DHCP Server. Select Save.
Step 6
24
Go to System Tools>Reboot and select Reboot to reboot the device.
Step 7
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the main router to your TP-Link N router
through their LAN ports (any LAN ports may be used). All other LAN ports on
your TP-Link N router will now grant devices Internet access. Alternatively, any
Wi-Fi device can now access the Internet through your TP-Link N router by using
the SSID and Password set up in the above steps.

Click Next
53
Select Remote Desktop Services as the role to install on this server.
Click Next.
The below introduction to Remote Desktop Services is displayed. Microsoft have done a great
job in providing administrators with thorough documentation pertaining to the role being
installed.
Click Next
This is a single server setup so I will select all of the role services for Remote Desktop Services excluding
Remote Desktop Virtualisation Host (this will be covered in a future post). I have provided Microsoft’s
description of each service in the table below;
54
Remote Desktop Session Host RD Session Host, formerly known as Terminal
Server, enables a server to host Windows-
based programs or the full Windows desktop.
Users can connect to an RD Session Host
server to run programs, save files and use
network resources on the that server
Adding the Remote Desktop Gateway and or Remote Desktop Web Access will prompt you to install
other services that are prerequisites such as IIS.
55
After you have the Selected Roles checked, click Next.
The below warning will appear advising that it is recommended to install the Remote Desktop
Session Host prior to installing any “client” applications.
Because this is a new install of Windows 2008 R2, I can ignore this warning and click Next.
You will now be required to specify an Authentication Method for the Remote Desktop Session Host.
The two options provided below are as follows;
Click Next.
Specify your Licensing Mode
Click Next
56
You will then be prompted to select user groups that you would like to provide access to the
Remote Session Host Server. By Default, the “Administrators” group is added and I will also be
adding a security group that I have created specifically for my Remote Desktop Users. Users or
User groups added in this section will be automatically added to the local Remote Desktop Users
group.
Click Next
The next screen will allow you to configure the client experience providing your end users with similar
functionality and visual experience found from a Windows 7 desktop.
I will be selecting all 3 options provided, with one of the enhancements to Remote Desktop Services in
R2 being the ability to provide users with a much better Video playback experience than in previous
releases. It does so by offloading the actual video playback to the local graphics processing unit. More
information on Multimedia Redirection Improvements in Windows 7 and WS2008 R2 can be found
here; http://blogs.msdn.com/rds/archive/2009/07/24/multimedia-redirection-improvements-in-
windows-7-and-ws2008-r2-part-1.aspx
Click Next
The next screen provides you with the ability to configure discovery scope for RD licensing. Following
Microsoft’s recommendation, I will not configure a discovery scope for the license server and will utilise
the inbuilt RDS Host configuration tool instead.
57
Click Next
The next screen is requesting a server authentication certificate for SSL encryption. To simplify
matters during the installation I will select create a self-signed certificate for SSL encryption and
will discuss this in more detail in part 2 of this series. Note that using a self-signed certificate
will create additional administrative overhead for administrators as the certificate will need to be
exported and imported to your remote desktop client computers. Using a 3rd party certificate
from a Trusted certificate authority will remove that administrative burden and provide end users
with a seamless experience.
Click Next
The next screen introduces Authorisation policies for the RD Gateway. Recall, the RD Gateway is
designed to provide users with the ability to log onto a Remote Desktop Host via the Internet and SSL.
58
The next part of the wizard is all about creating your RD CAP and RD RAP. Don’t worry too much if you
don’t get everything right in the wizard as all of these options are configurable post wizard installation.
Notice, I have created a specific Active Directory Group called “Remote Desktop Computers” in which I
have added computers with Remote Desktop enabled.
59
Click Next
The next part of this wizard provides you with a primer on Network Policy and Access Services.
Click Next
Click Next
60
The following screen provides you with an introduction to the Web Server Role that is required to be
installed for Remote Desktop Web Access.
Click Next and Next again to accept the default role services options.
We are finally presented with a summary of the confirmed installation selections that we have made
throughout this wizard. It is worthwhile printing and or saving this information via the available
hyperlink to form part of your documentation. Kudos to Microsoft who in my own opinion have done a
great job with their wizard based installations which eases the usual configuration pains associated with
such an install.
Click Install. The installation process will now begin and you will be presented with the installation
results screen below notifying you of completion. Click Close and then restart your server to complete
the process.
61
Upon shutdown, restart and logon, Windows will proceed with the installation and configuration of our
roles and services.
That’s it for now. In this first article of this series on RDS, we went through the process of adding and
configuring the necessary roles and services associated with Remote Desktop Services via Windows
2008 R2 Server manager. In the next article, I will be discussing the Remote Desktop Gateway (RD
Gateway) in some detail and will go through some of it’s configuration settings both at the server and
remote desktop client level.
