Assembling and Disassembling of Cpu

The document provides instructions for assembling and disassembling a CPU (central processing unit). It first lists the main components of a CPU, which include the motherboard, hard drive, processor, memory, power supply, and system fan. It then describes each component in more detail. The assembly instructions involve 9 steps: opening the case, installing the power supply, attaching components to the motherboard, installing the motherboard, connecting internal and external cables, and closing the case. The disassembly instructions reverse these steps by unplugging power, opening the case, disconnecting cables, removing fans, power supply, hard drive, memory, expansion cards, and finally the motherboard.

ASSEMBLING AND

DISASSEMBLING OF CPU
COMPONENTS OF THE CPU
• Motherboard
• Hard Drive
• Processor
• Memory
• Power Supply
• System Fan
MOTHERBOARD
The motherboard is the main printed circuit board
(PCB) in a computer. It's basically the central nervous
system of your computer, as it connects all the other
essential components like the CPU, RAM, storage, and
expansion cards. It also provides power to these
components and allows them to communicate with each
other.
HARD DRIVE
A hard disk drive (sometimes abbreviated as a hard
drive, HD, or HDD) is a non-volatile data storage
device. It is usually installed internally in a
computer, attached directly to the disk controller of
the computer's motherboard. It contains one or
more platters housed inside an air-sealed casing.
Data is written to the platters using a magnetic
head, which moves rapidly over them as they spin.
PROCESSOR
The processor, also known as the central
processing unit (CPU), is the brain of the
computer. It carries out the instructions of a
computer program by performing basic
arithmetic, logical, control, and input/output
(I/O) operations. The processor is responsible
for executing the instructions stored in the
computer's memory.
MEMORY
Memory is a crucial component of the CPU
that stores data and instructions that the
processor needs to access quickly. It is used to
store both temporary and permanent data.
There are different types of memory, including
cache, RAM, and ROM.
POWER SUPPLY
The main function of the power supply in a
CPU is to convert the high-voltage alternating
current (AC) from your wall outlet into the
low-voltage direct current (DC) that your
computer components need to function.
SYSTEM FAN
System fans are located on your computer’s
case and help bring cool air in while also
blowing hot air out. CPU fans are located on
top of a computer processor and prevent CPU
overheating by moving hot air away from the
processor. As such, both fans are used for
different purposes and have unique cooling
functionalities inside your computer.
STEP BY STEP ASSEMBLING
AND DISASSEMBLING OF CPU
STEP:1 OPEN THE CASE.
The first step in assembling a computer is to open the computer case .
There are different methods for opening cases.
STEP:2 INSTALL THE POWER SUPPLY.
The next step is to install a power supply. There are usually four screws
that attach the power supply to the case. Power supplies have fans that
can vibrate and loosen screws that are not secured
STEP:3 ATTACH THE COMPONENTS TO THE MOTHERBOARD.
The motherboard has to be prepared before its installation. To prepare the
motherboard, you first need to install the CPU, then the heat sink on the CPU
and CPU fan.
STEP:4 INSTALL MOTHERBOARD.
After preparing the motherboard, you can install the computer case. Plastic
and metal standoffs are used to mount the motherboard and to prevent it from
touching the metal portions of the case.
STEP:6 CONNECT ALL INTERNAL CABLES.
Power cables are used to distribute electricity from the power supply to the
motherboard and other components.
STEP:7 CONNECT ALL THE EXTERNAL CABLES.
Locate the monitor cable, Connect the monitor, Connect the keyboard,
Connect the mouse.
COMPUTER DISASSEMBLY
STEP:1 UNPLUGGING THE POWER SOURCE.
Unplug the power cord from the PC and from the wall socket to prevent any injuries and
damage of the PC from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
STEP:2 OPEN THE CASE.
The computer comes with various types of cabinets. The methods of opening the case are
different based on the manufacturer. To open the case, first remove the screws of the left side
cover and slide the side cover. Pull the latch to release the side panel. Then lift the side cover
out from the chassis.
STEP:3 DISCONNECT ALL THE CONNECTORS.
Disconnect all the connectors connected to the motherboard. These include
SATA power cable and data cable of HDD as well as SATA cable of optical
drive.
STEP 4: REMOVE THE FAN.
Remove the fan now. Most computers have two fans—the system fan and CPU
fan. The system fan is located at the back side of the computer to blow air into
the computer. The CPU fan is located on top of the CPU heat sink.
STEP 5: REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY.
The power supply is connected to the motherboard by a 20-pin connector and
4-pin connector. It is also connected to hard disk drive and the optical drive.
Firstly, disconnect hard disk drive and the optical drive connectors from the
motherboard.
STEP 6: REMOVING HDD AND OPTICAL DRIVE
Remove the SATA cable connecting to the HDD and motherboard. Then
unscrew the four screws securing it in place and pull out the HDD
STEP 7: REMOVE RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY) MODULES.
RAM allows for the transfer of information to and from the CPU. Computer
runs fast with more RAM. Most computers have four RAM slots, and two
RAM chips.
STEP 8: REMOVE EXPANSION CARDS.
The modern motherboards are integrated with the audio, video and network
card
STEP 9: REMOVE MOTHERBOARD.
Every part of the computer is attached to the motherboard. The CPU, RAM, and
expansion cards are directly attached to the motherboard. To remove the
motherboard, disconnect all the cables from the motherboard. It has seven
screws holding it to the frame. Remove these screws and then lift the
motherboard out of the frame
