SERVICING NC2
 General step-by-step guide in disassembling a computer:
1.Shut down the computer and unplug it from the power source.
2.Remove the side panel of the computer case. This may involve removing screws or sliding mechanisms
depending on the case design.
3.Ground yourself by touching a metal object or wearing an anti-static wristband to prevent static
electricity damage to the components.
4.Disconnect the cables and connectors from the motherboard, including the power supply, data cables,
and front panel connectors.
5.Remove any expansion cards (such as graphics cards or sound cards) by releasing the securing
mechanism (usually a clip or screw) and gently pulling the card out.
6.Carefully remove the RAM modules by pushing the clips on the sides of each module to release them,
and then slide the RAM out of its slot.
7.Disconnect any hard drives, solid-state drives, or optical drives by unplugging the data and power
cables.
8.Remove any cooling components, such as CPU heatsinks or fans, by releasing the screws or clips
securing them to the motherboard.
9.Finally, remove the motherboard itself by unscrewing it from the case, being mindful of any additional
connectors or cables that might still be attached.

Please note that this guide provides a general overview, and it's essential to refer to the specific instructions provided by your computer's manufacturer or component documentation for accurate information.
 General step-by-step guide in assembling a computer:
1. Prepare the computer case by ensuring it is clean and free of dust. Check the case's documentation for any specific instructions on cable
management or component placement.
2. Install the CPU onto the motherboard by lifting the CPU socket lever, aligning the notches on the CPU with the socket, and gently placing it in.
Close the socket lever to secure the CPU.
3. Install the CPU cooler by applying thermal paste (if necessary) to the CPU, aligning the cooler's mounting bracket with the holes around the
CPU socket, and then securing it with screws or clips.
4. Install the RAM modules by aligning them with the slots on the motherboard and firmly pressing them down until the clips on each side lock
into place.
5. Install the motherboard into the case by aligning it with the standoffs (metal or plastic risers) and securing it with screws. Ensure that it is
stable and properly aligned.
6. Connect the power supply cables to the motherboard, including the main 24-pin power connector, CPU power connector, and any additional
power connectors required.
7. Install any expansion cards, such as graphics cards or sound cards, by aligning them with the appropriate slots on the motherboard and
securing them with screws or clips.
8. Connect the hard drives, solid-state drives, or optical drives to the motherboard using the appropriate data and power cables.
9. Connect the case's front panel connectors (power switch, reset switch, USB ports, etc.) to the motherboard according to the motherboard's
manual or labeled pins.
10.Double-check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and properly routed to avoid obstructing fans or other components.
11.Close the computer case and secure it with the appropriate screws or mechanisms.
12.Finally, connect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals, and plug in the power cord. Power on the computer and verify that it
boots up correctly.

 Wiring guide for an RJ45 Ethernet cable, also known as a Cat5e or Cat6 cable. This
guide follows the T568B standard, which is the most widely used wiring scheme for
Ethernet networks:

1. Strip about 1.5 inches (4 cm) of the outer jacket from the cable, using a cable stripper or a sharp blade. Be careful not to damage the inner
wires.
2. Untwist the pairs of wires and arrange them according to the following color code (from left to right):
1. Pin 1 (white/orange wire), Pin 2 (orange wire)
2. Pin 3 (white/green wire), Pin 4 (blue wire)
3. Pin 5 (white/blue wire), Pin 6 (green wire)
4. Pin 7 (white/brown wire), Pin 8 (brown wire)
3. Straighten and align the wires carefully, ensuring that they are in the correct order and fully inserted
into the RJ45 connector.
4. Trim the excess wires, so they are flush with the end of the connector.
5. Insert the connector with the wires into an RJ45 crimping tool, making sure the connector's tab is
facing downward.
6. Squeeze the crimping tool firmly to crimp the connector onto the wires, ensuring a secure connection.
7. Repeat the process for the other end of the cable, following the same color code and wiring scheme.
• After completing both ends of the cable, you should have a properly wired RJ45 Ethernet cable.
• It's essential to test the cable using a cable tester or by connecting devices to ensure it is functioning correctly before deploying it in a network
environment.
• Remember, while the T568B standard is commonly used, it's important to verify the wiring scheme required for your specific networking
needs, as certain situations or network configurations may require a different standard.
