Disassembling and Assembling a Computer
MATERIALS:
Flat-head screwdriver Tweezers
Phillips-head screwdriver Part retriever
Torx screwdriver Flashlight
Hex driver Wire stripper
Needle-nose pliers Crimper
Wire cutters Punch-down tool

PROCEDURE:

STEP #1 : Unplug your computer and peripheral items

 Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord and unplug any peripheral items attached
to the computer, such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, headphones, and any external
drives.

STEP #2 : Remove side covers

 Remove at least one of the side covers, usually the right side as you face the front of the
computer. You might find it easier to access all the parts if you remove both side covers;
there are sometimes thumb screws on the covers to make access easier.

STEP #3 : Disconnect connectors

 Disconnect all the connectors, then remove any card readers and internal DVD players.
These are usually screwed into place.

STEP #4 : Remove the Power Supply
 Remove the power supply unit by unplugging the remaining connectors,
then unscrewing the unit from the frame.
STEP #5 : UNCREW AND REMOVE STORAGE DEVICE / HARD DISK
DRIVE
 Disconnect the cables and remove the storage drive. Generally, storage drives are held in
place by multiple screws. If you have a hard drive, be gentle when moving the drive as
hard bumps can damage the internal parts.
STEP #6 : Remove memory (RAM) modules 
 Remove the memory (RAM) modules by pushing the clips on both ends of the module
down. This will cause the module to pop up for easy removal. Do not touch the gold
connectors on the chips if you’re reusing the modules. If you're not reusing the RAM

STEP #7 : REMOVE HEAT SINK

STEP #8 : REMOVE THE MOTHERBOARD
 Disconnect all the cables from the motherboard, then unscrew it from the frame by
loosening each screw a little bit before going around again to loosen each screw properly.
This prevents any potential warping of the motherboard by gradually releasing the
tension on it.
Computer reassembly
If you are rebuilding the computer, insert the components in the opposite order you removed
them, starting with the motherboard. Plug in all the cables as you insert the component; most
items will plug into the motherboard and the power supply unit.

CONFIGURATION BIOS SETUP

STEP #1
 Enter the BIOS Setup Utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the
power-on self-test (POST

STEP #2
 Use the left and right arrow keys to select the main menu screens.

 Use the up and down arrows, on the keyboard, to select an item within a screen.

STEP #3
 Navigate to the item to be modified.

 Fields that can be configured or that provide access to a sublevel appear highlighted. All
other fields are read only

STEP #4
 Press Enter to select the item.

 A sublevel or a dialog box with the available option fields appears

STEP #5
 Use the up or down arrow keys or the + or – keys to change a field.

STEP #6
 When you are finished customizing BIOS settings, navigate to the Exit screen

STEP #7
 Select one of the exit options and press Enter.
 For example, to save the changes that you made, highlight the Save Changes and Exit
option and press Enter.
 When you exit the BIOS Setup Utility, the server boots. If you've made changes to BIOS
settings, those changes are valid with the system boot.
 CREATING A BOOTABLE FLASH
DRIVE
STEP #1 : Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer.

STEP #2 : Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.

STEP #3 : Type “ diskpart “.

STEP #4 : In the new command line window that opens, to determine the USB
flash drive number or drive letter, at the command prompt, type “ list disk “, and
then click “ ENTER “. The list disk command displays all the disks on the
computer. Note the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive.

STEP #5 : At the command prompt, type “ select disk <X> “, where X is the
drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive, and then click “ ENTER “.

STEP #6 : Type clean, and the click “ ENTER “. This command deletes all data
from the USB flash drive

STEP #7 : To create a new primary partition on the USB flash drive, type “
create partition primary “ , and then click “ ENTER “.

STEP #8 : To select the partition that you just created, type “ select partition 1
“, and then click “ ENTER “.

STEP #9 : To format the partition, type “ format fs=ntfs quick “, and then click
“ ENTER “

IMPORTANT
If your server platform supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
(UEFI), you should format the USB flash drive as FAT32 rather than as
NTFS. To format the partition as FAT32, type format fs=fat32 quick, and
then click ENTER.

STEP #10 : Type “ active “, and then click “ ENTER “

STEP #11 : Type “ exit “ , and then click “ ENTER “

STEP #12 : When you finish preparing your custom image, save it to the root of
the USB flash drive.

DOWNLOADING WINDOWS FOR

TEST
PROCEDURE:
STEP #1 : Visit the Microsoft Modern.IE website. This will take you to the
downloads page for all the virtual machines (VMs) Microsoft have created.

STEP #2 : Click the button on Step 1. As Modern. IE is aimed primarily at

testing websites on different versions of Windows and Internet Explorer, there are
several distros for the same OS, such as Windows 7 with IE8-IE11, choose the
latest IE version

STEP #3 : With the Step 2 button select either “ VirtualBox on Windows “ or “

VMware Player on Windows “ depending on which software you are going to
use. We will show you how to install on both VMware Player and VirtualBox
below.

STEP #4 : Step 3 will automatically display the download links you need to get
the VM package. Either click on the links individually or use “ Batch File
Download “ to show all links together which can then be added into a download
manager. As each file can be up to 1GB in size, MD5 checksum links are provided
so the files can be verified for integrity after download

These Windows VMs are also available to use in Linux and OS X, simply click the
small link and go through the on page steps 1 and 2 again to show the correct files.
VirtualBox, VMware Fusion and Parallels are supported.

STEP #5 : Go to your downloaded VM files and double click the Part001.exe to

extract the contents to a folder of your choice. The Windows 10 Preview virtual
machine doesn’t have a .exe and comes in plain RAR files so you will need an
archiver capable of extracting them, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip etc. This will
extract a single .OVA file in the case of VirtualBox or three files from the VMware
archive, .MF, .OVF and .VMDK.

Note the Windows 10 Technical Preview at Modern.IE is 64-bit and the rest of the
operating systems in the list are 32-bit versions.
