How to Assemble a Computer

The assembling of the computer system is exactly the opposite of disassembling operation. Before starting
assembling the computer system, make sure you have the screws and a screwdriver for those.

Step 1: Mount the Processor

The first step for assembling the computer system starts with mounting the processor on the processor
socket of the motherboard. To mount the process, you don't need to apply any force. The special ZIF (zero
insertion force) sockets are usually used to prevent any damage to the processor pins. Once the processor
is mounted, the heat sink will be attached on top of the processor. The CPU fan is also attached on top of
the heat sink.

Step 2: Fix the Motherboard in the Tower Case

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 3


Chandigarh School of Business, Jhanjeri, Mohali-140307
Department of Computer Applications

Now the motherboard is to be fixed vertically in the tower case and the screws are fixed from behind of
the motherboard.

Step 3: Connect the Power Supply

Now line up the power supply at the top back end of the cabinet and screw it. The power connectors for
motherboard power supply and CPU fan power supply are to be connected. If the cabinet cooling FAN is
required then it is to be screwed at the back end grill of the cabinet and its power connector is to be
connected from SMPS.

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 4


Chandigarh School of Business, Jhanjeri, Mohali-140307
Department of Computer Applications

Step 4: Install the Drives

Install the CD/DVD drives at the top front end of the cabinet and screw it. Install the Hard disk drive and
floppy disk drive below CD/DVD drive and screw it. Make sure once screwed there is no vibration in either
of the CD/DVD, hard disk or floppy disk drives.

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 5


Chandigarh School of Business, Jhanjeri, Mohali-140307
Department of Computer Applications

Step 5: Connect Cables

Now select the appropriate data cable and connect one end of the cable to its drive socket and another end
at its appropriate connector on the motherboard. For SATA hard disk drive or CD/DVD drives use SATA
cable and its power cable, else use IDE data cable. Do the proper jumper settings as per the usage
requirement.

Step 6: Mount the Memory Modules

It is time now to mount the memory modules on the motherboard by aligning the RAM to its socket on the
motherboard and press it downward. Make sure the side tab are fixed into the RAM notch. If not, you may
still have to press a bit.

Step 7: Install the Internal Cards

Install the internal cards to its socket and attach the cables or power cable to it. The selection of right
socket or slot is required as per the type of socket.

Step 8: Cover the Tower

Cover the tower by placing it and pressing towards front side and screw it.

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 6


Chandigarh School of Business, Jhanjeri, Mohali-140307
Department of Computer Applications

Step 9: Connect the External Devices and Power

Connect the external devices with CPU at its appropriate socket. It includes mouse and keyboard at PS2 or
USB connectors. Monitor at the video output socket. Connect the power cable to the back of tower in SMPS.
Plug in the power cable to the electric board.

How to De assemble a Computer

Follow these seven steps carefully.

Step 1: Detach the Power Cable

The disassembling of the computer system starts with externally connected device detachment. Make sure
the computer system is turned off, if not then successfully shut down the system and then start detaching
the external devices from the computer system. It includes removing the power cable from electricity
switchboard, then remove the cable from SMPS (switch mode power supply) from the back of the CPU
Cabinet. Do not start the disassembling without detaching the power cable from the computer system.
Now remove the remaining external devices like keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer or scanner from the
back of CPU cabinet.

Step 2: Remove the Cover

The standard way of removing tower cases used to be to undo the screws on the back of the case, slide the
cover back about an inch and lift it off. The screwdrivers as per the type of screw are required to do the
task.

Step 3: Remove the Adapter Cards

Make sure if the card has any cables or wires that might be attached and decide if it would be easier to
remove them before or after you remove the card. Remove the screw if any, that holds the card in place.
Grab the card by its edges, front and back, and gently rock it lengthwise to release it.

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 7


Chandigarh School of Business, Jhanjeri, Mohali-140307
Department of Computer Applications

Step 4: Remove the Drives

Removing drives is easier. There can be possibly three types of drives present in your computer system,
Hard disk drive, CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives, floppy disk drives (almost absolute now a day). They usually
have a power connector and a data cable attached from the device to a controller card or a connector on
the motherboard. CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive may have an analog cable connected to the sound card for direct
audio output.

The power may be attached using one of two connectors, a Molex connector or a Berg connector for the
drive. The Molex connector may require to be wiggled slightly from side to side and apply gentle pressure
outwards. The Berg connector may just pull out or it may have a small tab which has to be lifted with a
screwdriver.

Now pull data cables off from the drive as well as motherboard connector. The hard disk drive and
CD/DVD drives have two types of data cables. IDE and SATA cables. The IDE cables need better care while
being removed as it may cause the damage to drive connector pins. Gently wiggle the cable sideways and
remove it. The SATA cables can be removed easily by pressing the tab and pulling the connector straight
back.

Now remove the screws and slide the drive out the back of the bay.

Step 5: Remove the Memory Module

Memory modules are mounted on the motherboard as the chips that can be damaged by manual force if
applied improperly. Be careful and handle the chip only by the edges. SIMMs and DIMMs are removed in a
different way:

● SIMM - Gently push back the metal tabs while holding the SIMM chips in the socket. Tilt the SIMM chip
away from the tabs until a 45% angle. It will now lift out of the socket. Put SIMM in a safe place.
● DIMM - There are plastic tabs on the end of the DIMM sockets. Press the tabs down and away from the
socket. The DIMM will lift slightly. Now grab it by the edges and place it safely. Do not let the chips get dust
at all.

Step 6: Remove the Power Supply

The power supply is attached into tower cabinet at the top back end of the tower. Make sure the power
connector is detached from the switchboard. Start removing the power connector connected to
motherboard including CPU fan power connector, cabinet fan, the front panel of cabinet power buttons
and all the remaining drives if not detached yet.

Now remove the screws of SMPS from the back of the cabinet and the SMPS can be detached from the
tower cabinet.

Step 7: Remove the Motherboard

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 9

Department of Computer Applications

Before removing all the connectors from the motherboard, make sure you memorize the connectors for
assembling the computer if required, as that may require connecting the connectors at its place. Remove
the screws from the back of the motherboard and you will be able to detach it from the cabinet. Now
remove the CPU fan from the motherboard. The heat sink will be visible now which can be removed by the
pulling the tab upward. Finally, the processor is visible now, which can be removed by the plastic tab
which can be pulled back one stretching it side wa

Device Drivers

A device driver is a computer program that controls a particular device that is connected to your
computer. Typical devices are keyboards, printers, scanners, digital cameras and external storage devices.
Each of these need a driver in order to work properly.

Device drivers act as a translator between the operating system of the computer and the device connected
to it. For many types of devices, the necessary drivers are built into the operating system. When you plug
in a device, the operating system starts looking for the right driver, installs it and you are ready to start
using the device. This is referred to as plug-and-play and is much preferred over having to manually install
the correct drivers.

There are so many different devices, however, that not all of them are built into the operating system. As
an alternative, the operating system can look online to find the right driver to install. Many hardware
devices, however, come with the necessary drivers. For example, if you buy a printer, it may come with a
CD that typically will include the correct driver. The advantage of this is that the hardware manufacturer
can make sure you have the right driver for the printer.

A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and permits
or blocks data packets based on a set of security rules. Its purpose is to establish a barrier between your
internal network and incoming traffic from external sources (such as the internet) in order to block
malicious traffic like viruses and hackers.

How Firewall Works?:

Firewalls carefully analyze incoming traffic based on pre-established rules and filter traffic coming from
unsecured or suspicious sources to prevent attacks. Firewalls guard traffic at a computer’s entry point,
called ports, which is where information is exchanged with external devices.

Types of firewalls:

Firewalls can either be software or hardware, though it’s best to have both. A software firewall is a
program installed on each computer and regulates traffic through port numbers and applications, while a
physical firewall is a piece of equipment installed between your network and gateway.

The most common firewall types based on methods of operation are:

Packet-filtering firewalls

Proxy firewalls

NAT firewalls

Packet-filtering firewalls

Packet-filtering firewalls, the most basic firewall type, examine packets and prevent them from moving on
if the specific security rule is not met. This firewall's function is to perform a simple check of all data
packets arriving from the network router and inspecting the specifics like source and destination IP
address, port number, protocol, and other surface-level data.

Proxy firewalls

Proxy firewalls, also known as application-level firewalls, filter network traffic at the application layer of
the OSI network model. As an intermediary between two systems, proxy firewalls monitor traffic at the
application layer (protocols at this layer include HTTP and FTP). To detect malicious traffic, both stateful
and deep packet inspection are leveraged.

NAT firewalls
Network address translation (NAT) firewalls work by assigning a public address to a group of devices
inside a private network. With NAT, individual IP addresses are hidden. Therefore, attackers scanning for
IP addresses on a network are prevented from discovering specific details.

Web application firewalls


Web application firewalls (WAF) are responsible for filtering, monitoring, and blocking data packets as
they travel in and out of websites or web applications. A WAF can either reside on the network, at the host
or in the cloud and is typically placed in front of one or many websites or applications. WAFs are available
as server plugins, cloud services, or network appliances.

Configuring Firewall On windows 10


It's important to have Microsoft Defender Firewall on, even if you already have another firewall on. It
helps protect you from unauthorized access.
1)To turn Microsoft Defender Firewall on or off:
Select the Start button > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security and then Firewall & network
protection. Open Windows Security settings

2)Select a network profile.

3)Under Microsoft Defender Firewall, switch the setting to On. If your device is connected to a network,
network policy settings might prevent you from completing these steps. For more info, contact your
administrator.

4)To turn it off, switch the setting to Off. Turning off Microsoft Defender Firewall could make your device
(and network, if you have one) more vulnerable to unauthorized access. If there's an app you need to use
that's being blocked, you can allow it through the firewall, instead of turning the firewall off.

Installation And Configuration of Webcam:

Connect a webcam to a laptop wirelessly

If you don’t have an extra USB port to connect your webcam to your laptop, you can still buy some
models that feature a built-in WiFi connection.
1. Connect: Connect your webcam directly to your router with an Ethernet cable. This step is
necessary to configure your device but you won’t need to leave the cable in after your webcam is
fully set up.
2. Configure: Set up the wireless feature of the webcam by using your home or office WiFi
network settings. This includes the SSID for your specific network and the security keys you need
to connect to your network. You’ll want to follow the on-screen constructions that came with
your webcam model.
3. Disconnect: Unplug the Ethernet cable from your router and webcam and allow the webcam
to connect to the WiFi network. Test out the video stream by accessing the camera on your laptop
and checking out its features.

Connect a webcam to a laptop via USB?

If you own a USB webcam, you’ll need to follow these instructions to get it up and running.
1. Connect the webcam to your laptop
● The webcam should have a USB cable that plugs directly into one of your computer’s USB ports.
If your cable doesn’t go in the first time, turn it 180 degrees for correct installation - USB cables
only go into the port in one orientation
● If you have a Mac, it’s likely you’ll need to invest in a USB to USB-C adapter in order to work
with a regular webcam

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 68


2. Install the webcam’s software (if necessary). There may be a CD that came with your webcam
and if so, place it in your CD tray. If your webcam doesn’t have a CD player, you can usually find
the software and drivers on the webcam company’s website in the support pages. Before you
spend too much time hunting for the drivers online, try step 3 (below) since many models no
longer need to install software.
3. Wait for the setup page to open for your webcam. If your webcam didn’t have a startup CD that
came with it, it’s probably a plug-and-play model so the startup process should start
automatically
4. Follow any instructions on the screen
5. Press the Install button, then select your preferences and settings for the webcam
6. After the webcam installs, you’re ready to start adjusting and testing out your webcam. You
should test out the video stream and audio (if it has a mic) to ensure it’s working correctly

PREREQUISITES: Understanding of Components Familiarity with various computer hardware


components such as CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, storage devices (HDD/SSD), power supply unit (PSU),
and peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor).

EQUIPMENT/SOFTWARE TOOLS: -
USB Drives

 Purpose: Bootable media creation for OS installation.


 Recommended Capacity: At least 16GB, preferably 32GB or more for modern OSes.
 Examples: SanDisk Ultra Flair, Kingston DataTraveler.

External Hard Drives/SSDs

 Purpose: Data backup, OS installation storage, and running portable OSes.


 Recommended Capacity: At least 500GB.
 Examples: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, WD My Passport.
 Most computers ship with a single operating system, but you can have multiple operating systems
installed on a single PC. Having two operating systems installed — and choosing between them at
boot time — is known as “dual-booting.

 Your computer’s operating system is generally installed on its internal hard drive. When you boot
your computer, the BIOS loads the boot loader from the hard drive and the boot loader boots the

installed operating system.

 There’s no limit to the number of operating systems you he installed — you’re not just limited to a
single one

 irst, you’ll need to make space for Windows 10 on your hard drive. If you have two different hard
drives in your computer and one of them is empty, you can skip this part. But you’ll probably want
to install Windows 10 alongside Windows 7 or 8 on the same hard drive.

 Whether you’re using Windows 7 or 8, you can use the Disk Management utility to do this. Press
Windows Key + R, type diskmgmt.msc into the Run dialog, and press Enter to launch it.

 Locate your system partition — that’s probably the C: partition. Right-click it and select “Shrink
Volume.” If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, you could also choose to resize a
different partition to free up space.

PCT LAB MANUAL|Ms==. Sunita Page 86


 oo

 Shrink the volume to free up enough space for your Windows 10 system. Microsoft says Windows
10 has the same system requirements as Windows 8, and the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1
requires at least 20 GB of hard drive space. You’ll probably want more than that.

 After shrinking the partition, you can continue the process.

 Download Windows 10 and Boot the Installer

 Download a Windows 10 ISO file and either burn it to a DVD or make a bootable USB flash drive.
Microsoft’s Windows USB/DVD Download Tool still works well, and will let you image a Windows
10 ISO file onto a USB drive.

 Leave the DVD or USB drive in your computer and reboot. It should automatically boot into the
