Most System unit use the procedure like this, removing
first the four screws on the back of the computer. And
remove the side panel. But in this case, it is a different
System Unit. It’s model is Dell optiplex755, as you can see
in figure 1. Tools needed for this procedure are nothing
since there are no screws to be removed. Simply find a lock
on top of the System unit as stated in figure 1. Then pull
it towards you. The case located at the left side panel of
the System unit will automatically detach. You now remove
the outer case shell of the system unit.
The finding is that this procedure is one of the
easiest parts. Doing it in a first you might seem to be
ignorant but don’t worry, as long as you follow the
procedures. You are safe to accidents.

CD/DVD DRIVES
CD/DVD DRIVES uses a laser light to read data from or
write data to an optical disc. These include CDs, DVDs, and
Blu-ray discs. This allows you to play music or watch movies
using pre-recorded discs
Figure2:
CD/DVD
DRIVES
The goal/objectives in this figure is to remove the
CD/DVD DRIVES from the System Unit. This must be remove
first because it blocks the other components of the system
unit.

7
In a common PC this can be removed by pushing it out
from the inside. However, in this model, it is different
since it has a lock. First, remove the cables connected to
the drive. Then pull the lock upwards located near the side
of the drive. You can see it above the figure. While pulling
the lock, carefully slide the drive from the inside to
remove. Again, no tools are used in this procedure.
I found out that Removing the CD/DVD DRIVES is also
simple. If you know the procedure, it is easy.CD/DVD DRIVES
is where you put the disks to be read. So you must be
careful of it.

POWER SUPPLY
A component that supplies power to at least one
electric load. Typically, it converts one type of electrical
power to another, but it may also convert a different form
of energy such as solar, mechanical, or chemical into
electrical energy.
A power supply provides components with electric power.
The term usually pertains to devices integrated within the
component being powered.
Figure 3: POWER SUPPLY

9
Our goal for figure 3 is to remove it from the System
Unit.
Since the Power Supply is connected to the System Unit
by a Screw. We need to use a Screw Driver. A Screw Driver
allows a user to loosen or tighten a screw. You can see it
in figure 3, what Screw Driver looks like. If you have the
screw driver ready, we can now start to detached the power
supply. First find the screws connected to the power supply.
You can find it at the back panel of the system unit. It has
3 screws connected, now loosen the screws using the screw
driver. Rotate it counter clockwise to loosen it. Now push
the power supply from the outside and lift it up carefully.
You now removed the power supply.
Findings is that In this figure. You need more force
to use. You need it in loosening the grip of the screws.

10
HARD DRIVE
Hard drive is what stores all your data. It houses the
hard disk, where all your files and folders are physically
located. A typical hard drive is only slightly larger than
your hand, yet can hold over 100 GB of data.
Figure 4: HARD DRIVE
Our goal/objective is to remove it from the System
Unit.
In this model removing the hard drive is easy. First
disconnect any cable connected to the HARD DRIVE. Then look
for a plastic connected at both side of the HARD DRIVE.
Press it both toward each other and lift it up carefully.
You can see it in figure 4 how it is done.

11
CPU FAN
CPU FAN is use to cool the CPU (central processing
unit) heat sink. Effective cooling of a concentrated heat
source such as large scale integrated circuit requires a
heat sink, which may be cooled by a fan; use of a fan alone
will not prevent overheating of the small chip
Figure 5: CPU FAN
Our goal/objective in this figure is to remove the CPU
fan and clean it.

12
THE CPU FAN in this kind of model is attached below the
hard drive so once you remove the HARD DRIVE. You removed
the CPU FAN too. You can see it in figure 5 how THE CPU FAN
was removed. Disconnect the cable connecting from the CPU
FAN from the MOTHERBOARD and you completely remove THE CPU
FAN.
The finding is that Removing THE CPU FAN is one of the
easiest to remove since you do it in figure 4.

13
HEAT SINK
HEAT SINK is a passive heat exchanger that transfers
the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device
to fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is
dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation
of the device’s temperature at optimal levels.
Heat sinks are used with high-power semiconductor
devices such as power transistors and optoelectronics such
as lasers and light emitting diodes (LED).
Figure 6: HEAT SINK

14
The goal/objective is to remove the heat sink from the
system unit. Removing it is a must because it blocks the
other components of the System Unit.
Most System Unit, HEAT SINK is located on top of the
System Unit. However, as I have said in the previous
figures. This model is different. HEAT SINK is a flat metal
that is connected to each other. It is located near the HARD
DRIVE. Removing it is similar to the HARD DRIVE but instead
of lock it has screws. You can see it in figure 4 how the
HARD DRIVE is removed. Loosen the grip of the 2 screws of
the HEAT SINK, after loosening the grip of the screws.
Carefully lift the HEAT SINK and you now removed it.
The finding is that the heat sink is dusty. That’s why
be sure to clean it. Use a brush to remove the dust that is
stock.
RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)

15
RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY) is the hardware in a
computing device where the operating system application
programs and data in current use are kept so they can be
quickly reached by the device’s processor.
Figure 7: RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)
The goal/objective is to remove the RAM. Removing it
can aggressively can cause the RAM to not work properly.
To remove the RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY), push down on
both tabs holding the RAM in place which are located at both
ends of the RAM. You notice that the RAM seems to pop-out.
Deattached it by lifting it, holding only the edges of the
RAM and place it where it is safe.

16
The finding in this figure is that even though this is
a different system unit. Still it is similar to any System
Unit.
SYSTEM FAN

17
SYSTEM FAN is a fan inside, or attached to a computer
case used for active cooling, and may refer to fans that
draw cooler air into the case from the outside, expel warm
air from inside, or move air across a heat sink to cool a
particular component.
Figure 8: SYSTEM FAN
The goal/objective is to remove the system fan from the
system unit. Removing the system fan must be done first
before the MOTHERBOARD because the SYSTEM FAN blocks the
MOTHERBOARD.
To Remove the SYSTEM FAN look for the lock and unlock
it. You can unlock it by simply pinching the lock. You can
notice that the SYSTEM FAN now is easy to remove.

18
The finding for this figure is that the system fan
is similar to the CPU fan. It is also dusty.
MOTHERBOARD
MOTHERBOARD is the main printed circuit board in a
computer. The motherboard is a computer’s central
communications backbone connectivity point, through which
all components and external peripherals connect.
Figure 9: Motherboard

19
The goal/objective is to remove the Motherboarsd.
Motherboard is considered as the brain of the System Unit.
It consist a lots of chips, capacitor, resistor etc. the
said elements are fragile so you must be careful on removing
the MOTHERBOARD.
To remove the MOTHERBOARD, look for the screws
connected with it. It has 7 screws including the 2 screws
from the HEAT SINK. Loosen the grip of every screw and
carefully lift it up touching only the edges of the
MOTHERBOARD.
The findings in this figure is that the
Motherboard has the most screws used among the other
components. That’s why you need more force to remove it.

20
Connectivity Center
A generic term for connecting devices to each other in
order to transfer data back and forth. It often refers to
network connections, which embraces bridges, routers,
switches and gateways as well as backbone networks.

21

22
Figure 10: Connectivity Center and Power Button
First thing to do is to unscrew the single screw
holding it in place. Once the screw is removed lift it up.
Notice that you are now removing the whole chassis including
the Power Button.
Cleaning the components

23
A clean computer is a happy computer, as dust, dirt,
and grime can lodge within the system to cause additional
heat buildup, resulting in premature wear to your system
hardware.
Figure 11: Cleaning the components
Yes, you did brush off the dusty parts while doing the
disassembling but doing it again is not bad. Make it as a
habit of yours. Make sure they are clean before assembling
it.

24
IT IS DONE!!!
After disassembling all parts, keep in mind the orders
on how you did it. To not miss any components to assemble.
Figure 12: IT IS DONE!!!
About the assembling of the System Unit is similar in
Disassembling. You just have to put it back in its order.
After that make sure you clean and keep the tools in a safe
place. It is done!!! Congratulations.
