Performance Criteria Checklist 1.1-1

CRITERIA
YES NO
Did you….
Before disassembling the components, first we need to shut off the power
to your system and unplug the power cord from the PC and from the wall
socket before continuing to prevent any injuries and damage of the PC
from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

Use the proper anti-static procedures while opening the case. Then
remove the cover of the system unit and lay the system down so that the
open side faces the ceiling. If it’s not facing the ceiling, therefore you can’t
see the components so just flip it around.

When you open the system case, you will see lots of cables and wires
connecting to each component. Those wires and cables are what make the
system function. If one of the cable or wires is not connected properly or
connected in the wrong place, the computer might malfunction such as not
turning on or error pops up on the screen. Some cables might be a
singlecolored wire and some multiple-colored wires.
To ensure that you don’t forget where the cables are connected, take
some pictures so you don’t need to troubleshoot at the end which takes
more time than taking pictures. It will help you extremely when you’re
putting the system back together.
Remove the modem cards, sound cards, network cards or video cards, fans
(might be more than one) carefully and any other extra cards. Place them
into an anti-static bag to protect it from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
damage. Disassemble every component in the case leaving only an empty
case.
Don’t forget to disassemble the power supply wires, the power supply and
the data cables from the components and motherboard. Also, the hard
drives floppy disk.
Identify every component and take pictures of them.

After you identified every component, put all components back in their
place and ensure that all cables and wired is connected at the right place,
therefore we don’t need to troubleshoot later on. Close the case and put
the screws back in their place. Lastly, connect every external device such as
the keyboards, mouse, monitor, etc. and turn it on to see everything is
working fine after you disassembled.

Performance Criteria Checklist 1.1-2

CRITERIA
YES NO
Did you….
1. Prepare the Mainboard (motherboard). If you want to assemble the
well-liked device, you should use Intel i3, i5, i7 Mainboard.

2. Mount the CPU in the socket of the Mainboard. You must choose
the correct CPU for your motherboard, and install it according to
its instructions. Be careful not to install the CPU in wrong. Not only
would your computer not work, it could short-circuit and damage
your motherboard.

3. Connect the CPU cooler to the Mainboard.

4. Attach the RAM (memory) modules in the corresponding slots. the

motherboard should have rows of slots that have 2 or 3 sections
that are different lengths. Make sure the pins on the RAM cards
line up with the pins on the motherboard connector. Don't get the
RAM slots mixed up with PCI slots. The PCI slots are usually wider.

5. Open the case and mount the power supply which is M-ATX type.
Make sure to connect all the connections to the drives and the
motherboard.
6. Attach the Mainboard back plate to the case and check the
Mainboard mounting positions. The motherboard's instructions
should tell the position of the motherboard.
7. Suitably position the Mainboard in the case.

8. Mount the Hard disk and connect it to the power supply and the
motherboard. There should be separate connections for the power
supply and the motherboard. In SATA Hard disk case, should
remove the jumper.

9. Connect the SATA connectors to the drives and the USB connectors
and the case switches to the motherboard. The case and
motherboard's instructions should tell where to connect the
cables.
10. Connect the 20 or 24 pin ATX connector and the 4-pin power supply
control connector to the motherboard.
11. Mount the DVD-ROM drive. After connecting the ATA cable to the
device, hook it up to the power supply.
12. Finally, select a compatible operating system, and follow the
instructions to install.
