One important thing to consider before executing a well-planned computer

assembly and disassembly is that one must be knowledgeable in the different

tools and equipment used in computer systems and networks. Furthermore, the

idea on how these tools and equipment are properly used, and also another

important consideration in installing computer systems.

What’s In

Before we proceed, let us have first a short review of our previous topic.

Notes to the Student

When referring to hardware, disassemble is the

process of breaking down a device into separate parts.
A device may be disassembled to help determine a
problem, to replace a part, or take the parts and use
them in another device or sell them individually. For
example, if a computer has a bad processor, you may
need to open the computer case, disassemble the heat
sink and processor, and manually replace it.

12
 What’s New

The pictures above show students disassembling a computer.

 How do you select the best tool for the job?

 What part of the computer should be removed first?
 What safety pre-cautions should be observed?

To complete assembly and disassembly of the computer system, it is

important to have a toolkit that should contain all the necessary tools. And
you are knowledgeable in the correct procedure of the disassembly and
assembly process. It is also very important to know the safety precautions
in doing the activity.

13
 What is It

Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool

selection.

How do you select the best tool for the job?

1. First, know and understand in detail the scope of work to be
accomplished. Plan for the scope taking into account the
sequence of tasks.
2. Selecting the best tool for each task requires training in the
proper use of the tools, field experience on their safe use, and
following the manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for that
specific tool.
3. When obtaining the tools, all the associated tools and
consumable parts, as recommended by the manufacturer, must
be included. In addition, related consumable parts must also be
selected and used according to their manufacturer’s
instructions.

Safe Use of tools

Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not
all tools come with detailed instructions, but there are those requirements
to be considered for your safety. If there are set-ups /use options, operator
judgment must always be based on what is the safest way to use the tool.

Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following:

• All tools must be kept in good condition with regular maintenance.
• The right tool should be used for the job.
• Each tool must be examined before use and damaged or defective
tools should NOT be used.
• Tools must be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions.
• The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used

14
 As you gain experience, you will learn which tools should be
available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into
these four categories:

 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools

 Hand tools
 Cleaning tools
 Diagnostic tools

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools

Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair,
fabric, and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended particles and cause
the buildup of static electrical charges on people and objects in the environment.
Grounded antistatic work mats used with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic
means for the controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity. Examples of ESD Tools:

 Diagnostic tools

k_to_12_pc_hardware_servicing_learning_module /Exploratory Course 7/8

Hand Tools

A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only
hands. The hand tools can be manually used employing force, or electrically powered,
using electrical current. Examples of Hand Tools:

15
k_to_12_pc_hardware_servicing_learning_module /Exploratory Course 7/8

16
Cleaning Tools

Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing

computers. Using these tools ensures that computer components are not
damaged during cleaning. Examples:

17
Diagnostic Tools

Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of
hardware and operating system update, but that doesn't mean they're problem-
free. Here's the most popular tools for diagnosing your computer problems:

Remember SAFETY. Do not neglect it. Neglect can cause

catastrophic effects.

DISASSEMBLY OF THE COMPUTER HARDWARE
Reminder: If anti-static mat is not available, use white cloth.

1. Detach the power cable& external devices:

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.

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.

https://turbofuture.com/computers/Dissassembling-and-Assembling-the-computer-system

Remove the adapter cards:

If the card has many attach cables
or wires, 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 along the
slot to release it.

https://turbofuture.com/computers/Dissassembling-and-Assembling-the-computer-system

19
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/Blue-ray
drives, floppy disk drives (almost obsolete now adays). 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/Blue 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.
https://www.houkconsulting.com/2017/03/standard-computer-components/

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
(Integrated Device Electronics) and SATA (Serial Advance Technology
Attachment) 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.

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:

https://eu.crucial.com/articles/pc-builders/disassemble-and-rebuild-a-desktop-computer

20
  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 be 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.

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
then detach SMPS from the tower
cabinet.
https://turbofuture.com/computers/Dissassembling-and-Assembling-the-computer-system

Remove the motherboard:

Before removing all the connectors from the motherboard, make sure you
memorize the connectors for
assembling the computer if required.
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
pulling the tab upward. Finally, the
processor is visible now, remove the
CPU by pulling the plastic tab in a side
way manner.
