Open the Case and Connect the Power Supply
Select the Case and Fans
• Model Type – The motherboard determines the type of case you can use. The size and shape must
match.
• Size – A computer with many components will need more room for airflow to keep the system cool.
• Power Supply – Match the power supply rating and connection type to the motherboard.
• Appearance – There are many case designs to choose from.
• Status Display – LEDs mounted on outside of case tell you if the system has power, when the hard
drive is in use, and when the computer is in sleep or hibernate mode.
• Vents – All cases have a vent on the power supply, and some have a vent in the back to draw air
out of into the system. Some cases have even more vents.

Install the Motherboard Components
Select the Motherboard
When selecting a replacement
motherboard, make sure that it supports or
accommodates:
• CPU
• RAM
• Video adapter, other adapter cards
• Socket and chipset on motherboard are
compatible with the CPU
• The existing heat sink and fan
assembly when reusing the CPU
• The number/type of expansion slots.
They must match the existing adapter
cards and allow for new cards
• The existing power supply connections
must fit the new motherboard.
• New motherboard must fit into the
current computer case.

Install the Motherboard Components
Select the RAM
New RAM may be needed when an application locks up or
the computer displays frequent error messages. To
determine if the problem is the RAM, execute the RAM test
in the BIOS. The speed of the new RAM must be supported
by the chipset.
Memory may also be categorized as unbuffered or buffered:
• Unbuffered memory – This is regular memory for
computers. The computer reads data directly from the
memory banks making it faster than buffered memory.
• Buffered memory – Specialized memory for servers and
high-end workstations that use a large amount of RAM.
These have a control chip built into the module that
assists the memory controller in managing large
quantities of RAM.

Install the Motherboard Components
Install the Motherboard in a Computer
In this lab, you will install a CPU, a heat sink/fan assembly,
and RAM module(s) on the motherboard. You will then install the
motherboard into
the computer case.

Install Internal Drives
Install the Optical Drive
Step 1. From the front of the case, choose the drive bay
that you want to hold the drive. Remove the faceplate
from that bay if necessary.
Step 2: Position the optical drive so that it aligns with the
5.25 inch (13.34 cm.) drive bay opening at the front of
the case, as shown in the figure.
Step 3. Insert the optical drive into the drive bay so that
the optical drive screw holes align with the screw holes
in the case.
Step 4. Secure the optical drive to the case using the
proper screws.
Installation Tip: Slightly hand-tighten all the screws
before tightening any of them with a screw driver. This
will make it easier to tighten the last two screws.

Install the Adapter Cards
Select Adapter Cards
Adapter cards are designed for a specific task
and add extra functionality to a computer. There
are a variety of adapter cards:
• Graphics
• Sound
• Storage Controller
• I/O
• NIC
• Capture
Adapter cards are inserted into two types of
expansion slots on a motherboard:
• Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
• PCI Express (PCIe) – PCIe has four types of
slots; x1, x4, x8, and x16.
PCI
PCIe x1
PCIe x16

Install the Adapter Cards
Install the Adapter Cards
Expansion cards are installed into an appropriate
slot on the motherboard.
• Installation Tip: Research the length of the
video card. Longer cards may not be
compatible with certain motherboards. Some
adapter cards may come with mounting
brackets of different heights to accommodate
these cases.
• Installation Tip: Some cases have small slots
at the bottom of the hole where the cover was
removed. Slide the bottom of the mounting
bracket into this slot before seating the card.

Select Additional Storage
Select a Media Reader
Several media card formats have
been developed over the years
including:
•Secure digital (SD
•MicroSD
•MiniSD
•CompactFlash
•Memory Stick
Choose a media reader based on
current and future needs.
19
© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential
Select Additional Storage
Select External Storage
External USB flash drives, sometimes
called thumb drives, are commonly
used as removable external storage.
External storage devices connect to
an external port using USB, eSATA,
or Thunderbolt ports.
Choose the correct type of external
storage for your customer’s needs.
For example, if your customer needs
to transfer a small amount of data,
such as a single presentation, an
external flash drive is a good choice.
If your customer needs to back up or
transfer large amounts of data,
choose an external hard drive.

Install the Cables
Install the Front Panel Cables
A computer case
typically has a power
button and visible
activity lights on the
front of the case. The
case will include front
panel cables that must
be connected to a
common system panel
connector on a
motherboard. Writing on
the motherboard near
the system panel
connector shows where
each cable is
connected.

System panel connectors
include:
• Power Button
• Reset Button
• Power LED
• Drive Activity LEDs
• System Speaker
• Audio
System panel connectors
are not keyed. However,
each front panel cable
usually has a small arrow
indicating pin 1, and each
pair of LED pins on the
motherboard system panel
connector has pin 1 marked
with a plus sign (+).

USB Motherboard Connectors
Internal USB Connector
New cases and
motherboards have USB
3.0 or USB 3.1 capabilities.
USB connector cables are
often 9 or 10 pins arranged
in two rows. These cables
connect to USB
motherboard connectors.
This arrangement allows for
two USB connections, so
USB connectors are often
in pairs. Sometimes the two
connectors are together in
one piece and can be
connected to the entire
USB motherboard
connector.
