motherboard.
10. Prepare all the tools you will need, secure
a clear, well-lit workspace.
18. G E N E R A L I Z A T I O N :
Proper preparations is the key to a successful
build. Before you begin, (1.)make sure you
have all the tools you will need,(2.)secure a
clear, well-lit workspace, (3.)gather all the
components you will be using and unpack
them one at a time, and (4.)verifying that
everything that is supposed to be there is
actually present.
19. G E N E R A L I Z A T I O N :
You can avoid damage and accidents
by applying OHS procedures
Assembling computer hardware is easy
but be cautious of the compatibility
issues of each component.
