How to Assemble a Basic Desktop PC

This set of instructions will help you assemble a basic computer capable of running most
modern software packages encountered by a casual
user. Modern computers become more affordable
when users supplement their monetary investment
with a few hours of effort. This computer build will be
very basic and will be the minimum hardware
necessary to have a functional system. After you have
all of the parts and materials needed, it will take
between 2 and 4 hours to assemble your computer
and you will need to be able to use simple hand tools,
such as a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

Step 1: Procuring Parts

First you will need to buy the parts necessary to build the computer. The parts we will use in
this project are labeled in figure 1:
1. Processor (CPU)
2. Computer Case
3. Optical Drive (DVD RW and SATA capable)
4. Memory (RAM)
5. Power Supply
6. SATA Cables
7. Motherboard (SATA Capable)
8. Processor Fan
9. Case Fan
10. Hard Drive (SATA Capable)

Step 2: Gather Tools and Supplies

Gather the tools you will need for the project:
 Screwdriver (for slotted and Phillips head screws)
 Wire cutters and strippers
 Needle-nosed pliers
 Utility knife
 Small flashlight
 Adjustable wrench
 Small container to hold screws
 Heat sink compound
 Grounding Strap

1

Warning: Using incorrect tools for a task (such as turning a screw with a knife blade) can
cause equipment damage and bodily injury.

Step 3: Open the Case

Open the computer case by removing the side panels. Find the
screws that hold the side panels in place and remove them
(shown in figure 3 circled in red). The panel is removed by first
sliding it back (figure 4) then lifting it away from the case (figure
5).
Warning: Case may have sharp edges. Handle with care to
avoid injury.

Step 4: Prepare the Case for Assembly

Three things need to be done before assembly begins:
 Remove any parts or packaging materials that may have
been shipped inside the case (figure 6).
 Remove the cover for the optical drive. On our case, we will
be removing the cover on the highest drive bay to mount our DVD
drive as shown in figure 7. Do this by pressing in the retaining tabs
shown in figure 8.
 Make note of the cables pre-installed in the case. These
should be front panel connections for features such as the power
switch, audio jacks and usb ports. If they are not labeled, consult
the manufacturer’s documentation and label them yourself now
before other parts are installed in the case (figure 8).

Step 5: Ground Yourself

Put the grounding strap on your wrist (Figure 10) and connect the other end to the computer
case. If your strap is not equipped with a clip to hook to the case, find a place to wedge against

2

the metal as shown in figure 11. This will prevent any buildup of static electricity on your body
from damaging the computer components.
Caution:Static electricity can ruin computer components. Always wear a grounding strap when
handling any internal components.

Step 6: Install Motherboard

To install the motherboard we need parts that
should have been included with your purchased
components:
 I/O Bezel is a trim panel installed in the
back of the case that surrounds the interface
ports on the motherboard. It should be included
with the motherboard. Figure 12 shows the
contents of the motherboard box.
 Standoffs are installed in the case screw
holes to create a riser that separates the case
and motherboard. The screws install into the
standoffs as shown in figure 13. Screws and
standoffs should be included with the case, but it
is a good idea to order these items just in case
they aren't included.
Follow these steps to install the motherboard in the case:
1. Install the I/O bezel plate into the opening in the back of the case (figure 14). It pushes in
from the inside.
2. Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw into the motherboard mounting holes
shown in figure 14. Check the screw hole locations on the motherboard for exact
placement.
3. Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O bezel.
4. Install the screws.
Figure 15 shows the motherboard installed in the case. It works best to leave the screws loose
until all of them have been started and the board is aligned with the bezel.

Caution: To prevent damage to the motherboard it must only contact the standoffs and
screws. All of the standoffs and screws must be installed.

Step 7: Install Hard Drive

3

The hard drive is the device that stores all of your data. It is 3.5" wide and needs to be
mounted so that you can gain access to the cable connections on the back (figure 16). If that is
not possible you may need to connect cables before you install the drive. To mount the drive:
1. Find a 3.5" drive bay to install the drive in. If you have trouble finding a place to mount the

drive consult your case documentation for suggestions.
2. Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides are lined up with the holes in

the case.
3. Install the screws.

Step 8: Install Optical Drive

The optical drive is 5.25" wide and is installed in the drive bay
that we removed the cover from in a previous step. Cable
access considerations apply to this drive also. To install the
drive:

1. Slide the drive into the drive bay until the screw holes
are lined up and the front of the drive is flush with the front of
the case (figure 18). Make sure that it is orientated correctly.
2. Install the screws.
3.

Step 9: Install the CPU

The CPU is the brain of the computer. It is installed on the
motherboard in the socket shown in figure 20.To install
the CPU:

1. Find the corner marking that designates pin 1 of
the CPU as shown in figure 19. On this AMD brand
processor, the corner is marked with an arrow. Consult
the manufacturer's documentation for specific
information about your processor.

4

2. Lift the small metal rod next to the socket as shown in figure 20.
3. Find the corresponding marking on the CPU socket and insert the CPU so that the markings are lined

up.
4. Push the rod down to lock the processor in place (figure 21).
Step 10: Install RAM

The RAM is the temporary memory location that the processor works from. Permanently stored
data is pulled from disks and stored in RAM while the processor works with it. The memory is
easy to install:
1. Set the RAM board in the socket as shown in figure 22. Check to see that the notch in the

board is in the correct location. If it is not, turn it around 180º.
2. Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into the socket. Make sure the tabs lock into

place as shown in figure 23.
Caution: Pressing the boards in when the tab is not aligned could cause damage to the RAM
boards as well as the motherboard.

Step 11: Install the CPU Fan

The CPU fan is really a combination of a heat sink and
fan together. The unit draws heat away from the CPU .
To install the fan:
1. Place thermal compound to the CPU following the
instructions provided with the compound.
2. Set the fan assembly on the CPU with mounting
tabs aligned.
3. Pull the locking rod down on the fan assembly to
lock into place.

5

4. Connect the fan assembly's power connector to the motherboard. Consult the manual to
determine proper placement.

Caution: Failure to apply thermal compound will result in insufficient cooling and will cause damage to
the CPU and/or motherboard.

Step 12: Install Case Fan

The case fan is usually installed on the back panel of the

case. If the fan mount is not obvious consult the case

documentation. To mount the fan:

1. Align the mounting holes by holding the fan to the
mounting pad on the inside of the case as shown in figure
25. The fan needs to be mounted so that it blows air out of
the case.
2. Insert the screws from the outside of the case and
tighten.

Step 13: Install Power Supply

Consult your case documentation for details and then
follow these directions to install the power supply:

1. Align the mounting holes in the case and power
supply as shown in figure 26.
2. Insert screws and tighten.

Step 14: Connect Cables

With all of the components installed in the case, the
jungle of wires can be daunting. It is important to
consult the motherboard manual in order to make
sure proper connections are made. There are two
kinds of connections, power and data.

6

 Every device that has been installed needs power. In figure 27, the power supply
connectors are shown. The motherboard has two power connections, and there are two
connectors specifically for SATA devices (drives). The other connectors will run fans and
other non-SATA devices.

 Data cables connect drives and front panel devices to the motherboard. Please consult the
motherboard documentation for the exact placement of connectors.

Warning: Incorrect connections can damage components and cause bodily injury.

Step 15: Wrap-up

Now that the components are completely installed, the last
thing to do is to reinstall the side panels on the case. The
computer is now ready to be turned on and to have software
loaded on it. If the computer has problems starting up, check
all component connections and mounting to make sure that
you have hooked everything up correctly. Consult individual
component manuals for specific troubleshooting information if
problems persist.

Computer Network - is a group of computers interconnected with one another.

There are different types of computer network namely;
1. LAN (Local Area Network) - A type of computer network within a specific area or
vicinity. For example, computers inside the school connected to one another is considered as
LAN.
2. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) - A type of computer network within the town or
city.
3. WAN (Wide Area Network) - This type of computer network is the largest because it it a
global interconnection of computers. An example of this is the Internet.

Network devices connect to one another using the following devices and materials:

1. Network cables. The cheapest cable use in computer in
networking is the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. Other
use the STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable which is cost much
than UTP but more reliable.

2. RJ 45 - RJ means Registered jack. This is a standard physical
Network Interface used for connecting telecommunications equipment commonly, a computer
networking equipment.

3. SWITCH - is a local area networking device which serves
as a central connection for all network equipment and
handles a data type known as frames. Frames carry your
data. When a frame is received, it is amplified and then
transmitted on to the port of the destination PC.

4. ROUTER -The role of router is to route packets to other networks until that packet
ultimately reaches its destination. One of the key features of a packet is that it not only
contains data, but the destination address of where it's going.Commonly, a router is
connected to at least two networks, two LANs or WANs. Router could be wired or
wireless.

Wired Router

Wireless Router

5. Network Interface Card or NIC is a network adapter which is also an expansion card that
enables a computer to connect to a network such as a LAN or the Internet using an Ethernet
cable with a RJ-45 connector. Network Interface Card is
commonly known as LAN card. This is an expansion
board insert into motherboard PCI slot so the computer
can be connected to a network. NIC could be wireless
which popularly known as wireless LAN card.

How to share your laptop wireless internet connection to another computer

If you have an internet connection on your laptop by means of your Wireless adapter, or a USB Modem,
you could share this to other computer, and here it what it takes:

Step 1: Create a cross over cable. How to create a cross over cable?

CAT-5 Wiring Diagram & Crossover Cable Diagram
The following CAT5 wiring diagram and crossover cable diagram will teach an installer how to correctly
assemble a CAT-5 cable RJ45 connectors for regular network cables as well as crossover cables. The
first set of instructions are for standard network patch cables (EIA/TIA-568B). EIA/TIA-568B, also known
as standard Ethernet, is the type of CAT-5 connection used to connect IP security cameras and network
video recorders (NVRs) in IP surveillance systems. If you are creating a crossover cable, please click
here for the crossover cable diagram.

1. Using an cat5 cutter and crimping tool, strip
about 1/3"of the out jacket of the cat-5 cable.
Be sure not to strip or damage any of the
pairs of inner cables.

2. Assemble the pairs of wires in the following
order for network cables (EAI standard / TIA-
568B).

3. Insert the wires into the RJ45
jack as seen below. Be sure
to keep the wires in the
correct order.

17

4. Insert the RJ45 connector into the crimping tool (again carefully make sure the wires stay inserted
in the correct order). Crimp down firmly on the crimping tool to permanently attach the RJ45

5. to the CAT5 cable.
Crossover Cable Diagram
To create a crossover cable with cat-5 cable follow the same instructions as above for CAT-5
wiring except when you get to step #2, use the below crossover cable diagram:

Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
The Default Gateway is your router IP address since it is set as DHCP server unless someone
changed it.

Default Gateway is your router IP address.

4. Now you know your router's IP address, you can now access its configuration utility. To
access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet Explorer and enter the IP
address of the router (192.168.0.1).

6. Enter the user name (admin) and your password. Leave the password blank by default.
How to Configure TP-Link N router as a wireless Access Point?

21

Main Router Access Point

Step 1

Connect your computer to a second LAN port on your TP-Link N router using an
Ethernet cable.* Login to the TP-Link web interface through the IP address listed
on the label on the bottom of your TP-Link N router (see below link for
assistance):

How do I log into the web-based utility of a TP-Link router

Note: Though possible, it is not recommended to attempt this process over Wi-Fi

Step 2

Go to Network>LAN on the side menu and change the LAN IP address of your TP-
Link N router to an IP address on the same segment of the main router. This IP
address should be outside the main router’s DHCP range.

Example: if the DHCP of your main router is 192.168.2.100 – 192.168.2.199 then
you can set the IP of the TP-Link N router to 192.168.2.X (X should be outside
your main router's DHCP range), like 192.168.2.11.

22

Note: After changing the LAN IP address a reboot will be required and you will need to
log into the TP-Link N router with the new IP address.
Step 3
Go to Wireless>Wireless Settings and configure the SSID (Network name)which can
be the same or different from the main router’s. Select Save.

Step 4
Go to Wireless>Wireless Security and configure the wireless security. WPA/WPA2-
Personal is recommended as the most secure option. Once configured,
click Save.

23

Note: If using a dual band router, repeat this process for the 5GHz band as well.

Step 5
Go to DHCP>DHCP Settings and select Disable the DHCP Server. Select Save.

Step 6

24

Go to System Tools>Reboot and select Reboot to reboot the device.

Step 7
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the main router to your TP-Link N router
through their LAN ports (any LAN ports may be used). All other LAN ports on
your TP-Link N router will now grant devices Internet access. Alternatively, any
Wi-Fi device can now access the Internet through your TP-Link N router by using
the SSID and Password set up in the above steps.
