This chapter will be used every time you install a hardware option inside your computer. Removing the Cover You need to remove the cover of your system to access its internal components. To remove the cover, follow the below steps. 1.
CHAPTER 5 4. Slide the cover toward the rear to free it from the system and lift it off until can be removed completely. Set the cover aside. NOTE Be sure to ground yourself by touching your system every time you remove the cover. If you are not properly grounded, you could generate an electric shock when you touch a component.
CHAPTER 5 Replacing the Cover Follow the below steps to replace the cover. 1. Hold the cover with your hands and gently put it down to the chassis on the rear position (about 3cm) from the front bezel, then push it to the front. 2. Tighten the cover to the chassis with the screws you removed. 3. Reconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other peripheral device’s cable connectors to your system. Reconnect all the device’s cable connectors to your system.
CHAPTER 5 Internal Components The following picture shows the components in your system. CD/DVD/CDRW/ COMBO drive 3½ inch floppy disk drive Power supply Hard disk drive HDD bracket Slot cover Mainboard Modem card Eathnet card Your computer has three (one 3.5-inch and two 5.25-inch) horizontal bays in the drive cage and the HDD bracket for one hard disk drive.
CHAPTER 5 Mainboard Overview The following picture shows the locations of the mainboard components in your computer. NOTE The mainboard’s components may vary and look slightly different.
CHAPTER 5 Changing the Jumpers The jumpers are small electrical connectors that control various circuits or functions in your system. Jumpers are small blocks on a circuit board with two or more pins emerging from them. To change a jumper setting, pull the plug off its pins and carefully fit it down onto the pins indicated. The jumpers settings in your computer are preset at the factory; however, you can alter the functions by changing the standard settings: ● Enable or disable the password function.
CHAPTER 5 NOTE The jumpers settings and their functions are inscribed on the label attached in your system chassis. If you want to see the label, you need to remove the cover of your system. CAUTION Do not change the jumpers with the power on. Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the computer before changing the jumpers. Connecting a Power Supply Connector The power supply converts AC power to the DC voltage your computer needs.
CHAPTER 5 Connecting the Front Panel Connector Cable The front panel connector cable is connected to connectors on the mainboard and front panel of your computer.
Chapter 6 Installing and Removing Board Options and Drives This chapter describes how to install and remove optional drives and board options in your computer. You can use these instructions to install and remove a variety of devices and board options. Although your board options and drives may look a bit different from the ones illustrated here, you can install and remove it the same way. See Chapter 5 for removing and replacing the cover. NOTE Turn off the computer.
CHAPTER 6 3. Move the screwdriver up and down until the slot cover breaks away from the chassis. Then lift the slot cover out of the chassis 4. If there is any switches or jumpers on the expansion card, adjust them. When you handle the card, be careful not to touch any components or the gold edged connector. Push the expansion card connector in firmly to the connector on the mainboard. The expansion 5. card connector must be fully inserted in the connector on the mainboard.
CHAPTER 6 6. Secure the card with retaining screw to the computer. 7. Connect any cables if the expansion card has. 8. Replace the system cover according to the instructions in "Replacing the Cover" in Chapter 5.
CHAPTER 6 Installing and Removing Memory Modules Your computer may have come with one memory module inserted into the mainboard. You can add a DIMM with the capacity of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, or 128MB. You can increase the amount of memory in your computer up to 256MB. Each DIMM socket supports the following memory features: ● Unbuffered 168-pin 3.
CHAPTER 6 4. Press the DIMM straight into the socket until the retaining clips snap into place around the ends of the DIMM. Notches Crossbars Retaining clips 5. Replace the system cover according to the instructions in “Replacing the Cover” in Chapter 5. Removing a Memory Module To remove memory modules, press the retaining clips outward simultaneously until the DIMM disengages from the socket and then carefully remove the DIMM from the socket.
CHAPTER 6 Installing and Removing the Processor The processor that you install must be compatible with PGA370 socket. WARNING The processor you want to install must have heatsink to prevent overheating. If there is no heatsink, the processor and your mainboard can have serious damage by overheat. Follow the below steps to replace the existing processor with a new one. NOTES According to processor type, your actual process may be slightly different from one described below.
CHAPTER 6 4. Pull the ZIF handle sideways away from the socket then upward to 90-degree angles and carefully pull the chip straight up from the socket. 5. Locate the new processor you are installing over the socket so that the notched corner on the Processor (pin 1) can be aligned with the blank corner on the socket. Then gently push the Processor straight into the socket until its pins are completely inserted into the holes of the Socket.
CHAPTER 6 6. Press the ZIF handle back to close it. 7. Attach the heatsink to the processor socket. If your processor is fan and heatsink type, connect a fan connector cable from the CPU fan to the CPU fan connector. 8.
