Lesson2: Use of Tools in PC Hardware Servicing
To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain
all of the necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools to have
available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into these four
categories:
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools
Hand tools
Cleaning tools
Diagnostic tools
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools
Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing,
hair, fabric, and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended particles and
cause the buildup of static electrical charges on people and objects in the environment.
Grounded antistatic work mats used with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic
means for the controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity.
Examples of ESD Tools:
Anti-static wrist strap – Used to prevent ESD
damage to computer equipment.
Figure 29. Anti- static wrist strap
Anti-static mat – Used to stand on or place hardware on to
prevent static electricity from building up.
Figure 30. Anti- static mat

Hand Tools
A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system
using only hands. Hand tools can be used manually or electrically powered, using
electrical current. Examples of Hand Tools are as follows:
Table 3. Hand Tools
Tool Description
Flat Head Screwdriver – Used to loosen or tighten slotted screws.
Philips Head Screwdriver – Used to loosen or tighten cross-head
screws.
Torx Screwdriver - Used to loosen or tighten screws that have a
star-like depression on the top, a feature that is mainly found on
laptop.
Hex Driver – Sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten
nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens screws.
Needle-Nose Pliers – Used to hold small parts.

Lesson3: Occupational Health and Safety Procedures
Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control
Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a planned system of working to
prevent illness and injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and
risks. Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the computer
and technology industries. You must identify the hazards where you are working and
decide how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.
There are three steps to manage health and safety at work: (1.) Spot the Hazard
(Hazard Identification), (2.) Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment) and (3.) Make the
Changes (Risk Control). You can use these three Think Safe steps to help prevent
accidents at work
The Think Safe Steps
1. Spot the Hazard
A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else.
Examples of workplace hazards include:
frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock)
boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone)
noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing)
During working hours, you must remain alert to anything that may be dangerous. If you
see, hear or smell anything odd, take note. If you think it could be a hazard, tell
someone.
Know
37. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
37
2. Assess the Risk
Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm
someone and how serious the harm could be.
Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by asking yourself two questions:
How likely is it that the hazard could harm me or someone else?
How badly could I or someone else be harmed?
Always tell someone (your employer, your supervisor or your health and safety
representative) about hazards you can't fix yourself, especially if the hazard could cause
serious harm to anyone.
For example, (1)Ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using
equipment, (2)Ask for help moving or lifting heavy objects, and (3) Tell your supervisor
if you think a work practice could be dangerous.
If you are not sure of the safest way to do something during work experience, always
ask your supervisor.
3. Make the Changes
It is your employer's responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able to
fix simple hazards yourself, as long as you don't put yourself or others at risk. For
example, you can pick up things from the floor and put them away to eliminate a trip
hazard.
Common hazards encountered by computer technicians and users
A hazard is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to harm the health
and safety of people or to damage plant and equipment. The situation could involve a
task, chemical or equipment used. Hazard management is a continuous process that
can be used to improve the health and safety of all workplaces.
Physical Hazards
One of the most common physical hazards involving computer technicians is
cables running across the floor. If someone trips, falls, and hurts himself because of a
cable you ran across the floor, someone (you, your employer, or your customer) has a
serious legal negligence problem. If you need to temporarily run a cable across the
floor, place a Danger sign similar to those "wet floor" signs used by cleaning services.
For cables that are temporary but will need to run across the floor for a longer period of
time, use "gaffers tape". Gaffers tape is a heavy tape with strong adhesive to stick to the
floor. For long term cable routing there is a wide variety of cable organizing devices like
cable ties, cable wraps, and cable raceways which can be used to run cable safely
along the wall or ceiling.
38. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
38
Other common physical hazards include leaving tools on top of ladders and
placing electronic equipment in precarious positions or on support that is not sturdy
enough or not designed for holding electronic equipment.
Mechanical Hazards
When working on electronic equipment, ask yourself "Is there any way this
equipment could hurt me?” You might stick your hand in a printer and suddenly the
paper feed arm moves, feeding not only paper through the printer, but a piece of your
finger too.
You might move your hand past a computer chassis and lose a chunk of flesh
because it is razor sharp. When working on electronic equipment always be alert to any
possibility of being hurt by moving parts, hot components, or sharp edges.
Chemical Hazards
There is a wide array of chemicals used with electronic equipment. There are
display cleaning chemicals, keyboard cleaning chemicals, compressed gas dirt and dust
removers, and many cleaning solvents. Some of these chemicals can be harmful if
accidentally swallowed, get on bare skin, or get in eyes. Before using any chemicals for
electronic equipment always read the warnings and instructions on the label.
Also be very careful when dealing with inkjet printer cartridges, or laser printer toner
cartridges. Ink and toner can stain skin, clothing and carpet.
Electric Shock Hazard
Inside computers and electronic equipment, there is a range of voltages from 3.3
volts to 25 volts, most of which are harmless. But at the power supply, you will find line
voltage, which is a lethal 220 volts.
The workplace should have safety guidelines to follow to:
Protect people from injury
Protect equipment from damage
Protect the environment from contamination
Safety Precautions when working:
1. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching
any part of the computer.
2. Do not work alone so that there is someone who can take care of you in case of
accident or emergency.
3. Be careful with the tools that may cause short circuit.
4. Always full the cable connector on the handle and not hold on the cable itself.
39. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
39
5. Use only rubber shoes when standing on the ground or in a concrete floor.
6. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.
7. Always power off and unplug the computer before working on it.
8. Take away any liquid such as mineral water or soft drinks near your working area
or near computers.
9. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire, and other emergencies
are recognized.
10.Personal protective equipment is correctly used in accordance with organization
procedures and practice.
11.Hazard/risks in the workplace and their corresponding indicators are identified to
minimize or eliminate risk to co‐workers, workplace, and environment.
12.Take necessary precautions to protect the component of the computer from
damaged caused by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
13.Hold the components by edges and do not touch the IC’s.
14.Read and follow instructions on the manual carefully.
15.Do not use excessive force if things do not quite slip into place.
Fire Safety Guidelines
Know the location of fire extinguishers, how to use
them and which to use for electrical fires and for
combustible fires.
Find an escape route in case a fire gets out of
control.
Know how to contact emergency services quickly
Keep the workspace clean.
Keep most solvents in a separate area.

Personal Computer Disassembly
Before starting computer disassembly, make sure you have the tools you need
and they're all close by and handy and be sure to have a container to keep the screws
in so you have them when you want to put things back together.
Step1. Unplugging - The first thing you do is to unplug every cable that is plugged in to
your computer. That includes the cables such as Power, USB, Mouse, Keyboard,
Internet, Ethernet, Modem, AMFM Antenna, Cable TV, etc. Just unplug all the cables
for safety purposes.
Now that your computer is fully unplugged, move your PC to a clean work space,
preferably a carpet. The carpet is better than tile, because screws and other small parts
will roll around.
Step2. Opening the Outer Shell/Case- First, unscrew the four screws at the back of
the computer. On most computer cases, there will be large knobs that you can unscrew
by hand or by screw driver on the back-right side of the computer. The left side has
small screws because on that side you can't access much on the inside.
Figure 33. Screw at the back of computer chasis
Once the screws are removed, you can remove the side panels. On most
computers, they just slide off. Start with the left side panel (the side that once had the
knobs), slide it towards the back of the computer. Now you can remove the left panel.
Just like the other side, slide it towards the back of the computer.
44. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
44
Figure 34. Removing the side panel
NOTICE:
If you are working on a carpet, about every five minutes touch something that is
grounded (Sink faucet / pipe, wire coming from the ground part of a wall outlet). This is
done so you do not shock your motherboard or other parts.
Step3. Removing the System Fan - First, unplug the fan from the motherboard. You
can find the plug by following the wire from the fan. It should be labeled "SYS_FAN1".
Next, you will have to unscrew the fan from the outside. You should now be able to lift
the fan out of the PC.
Figure 35. Removing the system fan
Step4. Removing the CPU Fan- The CPU fan is located right on top of the CPU heat
sink, which is a large piece of metal with fins on the top. The CPU fan plugs into the
motherboard in an awkward place, that is hard to access. But just follow the wires and
Side

you should easily find it. It is labeled "CPU FAN1". To remove the fan from the heat
sink, remove the four screws securing it in place.
Figure 36. Removing the CPU fan
Step5. Power Supply - The first thing to do is unplug every wire coming from the power
supply. You must disconnect the motherboard (very large connector/plug), CD/DVD
drive(s) power, internal hard drive power and portable hard drive slot power.
Once everything is unplugged, unscrew the four screws holding the power supply
in place, on the back of the computer. Next, push the power supply from the outside,
and then lift it out.

Step6. CD/ DVD Drive(s)- First, unplug the ribbon from the back of the drive. Once that
is completed, pull on the tab securing the drive in place, then push it out from the inside.
Figure 38. Location of CD / DVD Drive
Step7. Hard Drive - First, unplug the connector at the back of the slot, and unplug the
other end from the motherboard. Also unplug the SATA cable from the motherboard and
the hard drive. The portable hard drive slot is secured the same way the CD/DVD drive
is, with a tab. Pull on the tab, then slide the slot out.
Figure 39. Unplugging the Hard Drive connector
To remove the hard drive from the side of the slot, unscrew the four screws securing it
in place. You must be very careful not to drop the hard drive, since it is very delicate!

Step8. Memory (RAM) - To remove the RAM, push down on both tabs holding the
RAM in place, which are located at both ends of the RAM.
Figure 41. Removing the Memory
Step9. Motherboard - The motherboard has seven screws holding it to the frame,
which are indicated by large white circles around them. Remove them and then lift the
motherboard out of the frame.

Step by Step Computer Assembly
Step 1. Prepare your workplace
1. Take Inventory:
Before you start, take an inventory of your parts. Do not begin assembling your
computer if you don't have everything you need. Begin the step-by-step process once
you are ready with everything you need.
Figure 43. Take inventory of the Different Computer Parts
2. Make Space, Make Time:
Building a PC takes up space - about a dining room table worth. So make sure
you have plenty of working room and a few hours to proceed with minimal interruption.
Work on a flat, stable table top surface, or bare floor, where you have room to layout all
of the items.
3. Prepare Grounding Protection:
Use an inexpensive antistatic wrist strap. It is the perfect preventive measure if
you have no alternative to working on carpet. Remember, a table top or bare floor is
always the best place to build your system. Make sure you are wearing your antistatic
Now that you are done with the disassembly, you have gained enough
skills. Next in line is the PC Assembly, exert more effort and patience. Just follow
the step by step procedures and illustrations below and surely you can make it.
Good Luck!!!
49. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
49
wrist strap correctly (it does you no good at all if you do not wear it!), and you are ready
to proceed. Look at Figure 42 for details.
Figure 44. Wearing the Anti- static Wrist Strap Correctly
4. Have the Drivers Ready:
Assuming you have another internet connected PC, download the latest drivers
from the vendors' websites for each component you will be installing. Sometimes
drivers are updated between the time the component was manufactured and the time
you are installing it. It is always best to have the latest. Copy them to a CD for easy
access.
Step 2. Prepare the Motherboard
1. Great care should be taken when installing the motherboard. First, take the board
out of its packaging and put it on top of the antistatic bag it came in (see Figure
45). Remember, you always want to safeguard your components from potentially
hazardous static electricity (wear your strap).
Figure 45. Motherboard in an Antistatic Bag
50. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
50
2. Before you secure the motherboard onto the PC case/chassis, inspect it carefully
for any visible defects.
3. Next, review the motherboard manual, to make sure you are familiar with the
motherboard layout and understand which socket is which. Manuals are
extremely helpful, usually easy to read, and include illustrations. Below you can
find instructions on how to install the processor, the heat sink and the memory
modules on the motherboard. You should not place the motherboard in the
computer case until you are told to do so.
Step 3. Install the CPU
1. Use the unlocking mechanism to
open the CPU socket which is
usually a lever.
2. Carefully line up the pins and
place the chip in its socket; it will
fit only when oriented the proper
way. An arrow or a missing pin on
one corner of the chip will show
you how to line things up.
3. Align Triangular CPU and socket
key marks as shown in Figure 46.
4. Lower the lever to lock the CPU
into place.
Figure 46. Install CPU
Step 4. Install the CPU Heat Sink
1. Follow the manufacturer's directions to install the heat sink and the fan that will
cool the processor. If you bought an OEM CPU and a separate heat sink, you
may need to spread a thin layer of the thermal grease that came with the heat
sink over the chip to ensure proper transfer of heat (some heat sinks come with
this grease already applied).
51. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
51
Figure 47. Install CPU Heat Sink
3. Attach the clip that holds the heat sink in place keeping in mind that it may
require a fair amount of force. Again, follow the instructions that came with the
heat sink. They will show you how to fit it correctly. If you are in doubt, you can
visit the manufacturer's website for more information.
4. Plug the CPU fan's power connector into the proper connector on the
motherboard.
Step 5. Install Memory (RAM Modules)
In order to install the memory modules, insert them into the proper sockets
(Figure 48) and push down firmly but evenly until the clips on both sides of the socket
pop into place. If your motherboard supports dual-channel memory, consult the user
manual to determine which pairs of RAM sockets you should use. The motherboard and
the CPU are the brain and nerve center of your PC, so selecting these components is
the most important decision you'll make.
Figure 48. Install RAM Memory
52. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
52
Step 6. Place the motherboard into the case
1. Some PC cases have a removable motherboard
tray. If yours does, remove the screws holding it in
place and pull it out of the case (Figure 49).
Figure 49. Remove Motherboard Tray
2. Note the pattern of the holes in your motherboard (Figure 50), and screw brass
standoffs into the motherboard tray or into the PC case in the correct locations
(ALWAYS check the manual and follow their instructions to the letter).
Figure 50. Screw Brass Standoffs Into the Motherboard
3. Check the layout of the sockets on the motherboard, and confirm that the ports on
your motherboard's back panel match the holes on the case's Input/Output (I/O) shield
that is installed in your case. If necessary, remove the old I/O shield by tapping it firmly
a few times with the butt-end of a screwdriver, and then replace it with the shield that
came with the new motherboard.
4. Carefully position the motherboard on top of the brass standoffs (Figure 51), line up
all the holes, and use the screws that accompanied the case to fasten down the
motherboard. If you are using a removable tray in your system, slide the tray and
motherboard back into the case and then secure the tray.
53. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
53
Figure 51. Case’s I /O Shield
Figure 52. Mount the Motherboard
Step 7. Connect the Power Supply
Making the proper connections is crucial to successfully assembling your PC
system. Fortunately, manufacturers provide color-coded power cables and unique
connector shapes to make the job easy.
1. First, plug the large ATX power connector (Figure 53) from your power supply into the
matching port on your motherboard. Look Figure X for details.
2. Locate the smaller, square processor power connector (Figure 54) (you cannot miss
it - it is the one sprouting the yellow and black wires) and attach it to the motherboard.
Note: your connector is usually located near the processor. As always, refer to your
motherboard's manual for the exact locations.
54. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
54
3. Use your motherboard user manual and find the description about front-panel
connectors.
Figure 53. Large ATX Connector
Figure 54. Connect the ATX Power in the Motherboard
Figure 55. Square Processor Power Connector
55. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
55
NOTE
You are going to be doing work that requires attention to detail and can be quite
frustrating if you do not go into it with the right attitude.
4. Attach each of the tiny leads from the power and reset switches (Figure 56), the hard-
disk activity lights, the PC speaker, and any front-panel USB and FireWire ports to the
corresponding pin on your motherboard. The needle-nose pliers are useful for
manipulating small pieces.
Figure 56. Connect the different Leads
Step 8. Install Graphics / Video Cards
1. Begin by removing the backplane cover from the AGP or PCI Express X16 slot
(the metal piece where the monitor connector will emerge) (Figure 57).
Figure 57. Remove the backplane cover
56. ICT- COMPUTER HARDWARE SERVICING
56
2. Install the graphics board in that slot, and then secure the card with a screw
(Figure 58).
Figure 58. Install the Graphics Board
Step 9. Install Internal Drives
Now it is time to install your drives. This is an easy process, but it requires attention to
detail.
1. Make any necessary changes to jumpers on the drives before mounting them in
the case. A two-drive system (one or two SATA (Serial ATA- is a standard
hardware interface for connecting hard drives and CD/DVD drives to a computer)
hard drives, plus one parallel ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) optical
drive, for example) is easy to set up; the SATA drives are jumper less, and the
optical drive can be set as master on its own parallel ATA channel. Many cases
have removable drive rails or cages to house drives.
2. Use the included screws to attach your drives to the rails or cage, and slide them
into the case. For externally accessible drives such as a DVD recorder, you can
save time by installing one drive rail and sliding the drive in for a test fitting to
make sure that its front is flush with the case (Figure 59).
3. When the drives are installed, connect power and data cables to each one.
Parallel ATA drives use wide, flat data cables that can be installed only in the
correct way. Floppy drives use a similar but smaller cable; SATA drives use a
thin, 1cm-wide data cable. SATA drives use a new type of power connector that
many power supplies don't come with. Fortunately, many motherboards ship with

adapters for converting a standard four-pin power connector to a SATA power
connector (Figure 59).

Step 10. Install the Add- in Cards
1. For each add-in card, you must choose a free PCI slot.
2. Remove its backplane cover to allow access from the rear of the case.

3. Carefully position the card above the slot, and press down firmly to seat the
card (Figure 61).
4. Secure the card with a screw.
Figure 61. Add- in Cards
Many motherboards have additional sound connectors or ports housed on small add-in
boards. Some of these plug into slots on the motherboard; others screw into the back of
the case in place of slot covers. Usually the additional ports are not essential to your
PC's operation. For example, if you install a sound card, you do not need connectors to
the motherboard's built-in sound chip. Check your motherboard manual to determine
what each of these boards does.
Connecting Peripherals of a Personal Computer
When attaching hardware and peripherals of the computer, ensure that they are
connected to the correct locations or ports. For example, some mouse and keyboard
cables use the same type of PS/2 connector. So, you must know first the different ports
that can be found in the back panel of the computer.
Congratulations for doing a great job, but hold on with your patience
because you still need to complete another topic which is connecting the PC
peripherals. So, keep moving.

Keep in mind:
1. When attaching cables, never force a connection.
2. Plug in the power cable after you have connected all other cables.
