Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
Identify the Types and Computer Parts, Peripherals.
Explain each part of Computer Hardware.
Introduction:
One important thing to consider before executing a computer assembly is
that one must be knowledgeable in the different computer parts, tools,
equipment and devices used in computer hardware.
At the end of this module the student can now identify, and explain each
computer parts and classify according to its function.
Is there’s any other type of the computer different from

what I’ve used today?
What are the different types of the computer?
TYPES OF THE COMPUTER

Supercomputer
Supercomputer - One of the types of the
computer is supercomputer. It is a computer that
is at the front-line of current processing capacity,
particularly speed of calculation. It is usually used
to do tasks involving intense numerical
calculations such as weather forecasting, fluid
dynamics, nuclear simulations, theoretical astrophysics, and complex
scientific computations.
Mainframe Computer
Mainframe computer - It is a computer that
is capable of handling and processing very
large amounts of data quickly. Its calculation
speed can reach millions to tens of millions
instructions per second (MIPS) and it can
respond to hundreds of millions of users at a time.

Page 6 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
Minicomputer
Minicomputers - are a class of multi-user
computers that lie in the middle range of the
computing spectrum, in between the smallest
mainframe computers and the largest single-
user systems (microcomputers or personal
computers).
Microcomputer
Microcomputer was introduced with the advent
of systems based on single chip
microprocessors. In the early days, the
microcomputers would still have been too
expensive to be owned by a single individual.
But in the late 20th century, microcomputers
became the most common type of computer.
Other computers include:

Workstation Computer - A workstation computer is a high-end personal
computer between microcomputers and minicomputers. It is usually
equipped with large-capacity memory, external storage, and large-screen
displays. Therefore, it has strong data processing capabilities and graphics
processing capabilities.
Server Computer - A workstation computer is a high-end personal
computer between microcomputers and minicomputers. It is usually
equipped with large-capacity memory, external storage, and large-screen
displays. Therefore, it has strong data processing capabilities and graphics
processing capabilities.
What are the parts of the computer inside the

system unit?
What we need to know about computer parts?
PARTS OF THE COMPUTER

The computer case
Page 7 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
It is usually designed in such a manner to make fitting a
motherboard, wiring, and drives as easy as possible. Some are designed
so well that it is easy to make everything look tidy and presentable too.
Cases come in all different sizes and shapes to accommodate various

types of computer components and satisfy the consumer’s needs.
List of computer case sizes that are currently being used in

the industry (known as form factor):
Very small form factor: Supports Mini ITX motherboards

Small form factor: Supports micro ATX motherboards.
Standard form factor: Supports standard ATX motherboards.
Larger form factors: Supports ATX and XL-ATX motherboards.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the main board that is screwed

directly inside the computer case. All other cards and
everything else plugs directly into the motherboard, hence
its name.
The CPU, RAM, drives, power supply, and more are
connected to it.
Its function involves integrating all the physical

components to communicate and operate together.
A good motherboard offers a wide amount of connectivity options. It also has

the least amount of bottlenecks possible.
This allows all the components to operate efficiently and to fulfil their
maximum potential as they were designed to do.
Motherboard dimensions that is currently present in the

industry

Page 8 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
Motherboard Dimensions
Pico-ITX 3.9 inch x 2.9 inch | 100mm x 72mm
Nano-ITX 4.7 inch x 4.7 inch | 120mm x 120mm
Mini-ITX 6.7 inch x 6.7 inch | 170mm x 170mm
Micro-ATX 9.6 inch x 9.6 inch | 244mm x 244mm
Standard-ATX 12 inch x 9.6 inch | 305mm x 244mm
EVGA: 13.5 inch x 10.3 inch | 343mm x 262mm

XL-ATX Gigabyte: 13.58 inch x 10.31 inch | 345mm x 262mm
Micro-Star: 13.6 inch x 10.4 inch | 345mm x 264mm
Central Processing Unit
The CPU or central processing unit is
basically like the brain of computer systems. It
processes all the information on a computational
level.
It takes all the processes from the RAM and processes it
to perform the tasks required by the computer system.
The central processing unit is usually seated in a socket that utilizes a lever
or a latch with a hinged plate with a cut out in the center to secure the
central processing unit onto the motherboard.
It has many copper pads underneath it for the socket contacts to push up
against them to make electrical contact.
There are so many different types of computer processors. The top

manufacturers of processors are Intel, AMD, and NVidia.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
RAM or Random Access Memory is a data

storage device that can provide fast read
and write access. RAM is volatile memory,
meaning it loses all the stored data when
power is lost.
The RAM keeps data ready for the CPU to

process. The RAM speed is a big contributor to the overall speed of a
computer system.

Page 9 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
It, too, has a clock speed, just like a processor. So, it can also be
overclocked to deliver increased performance beyond the intended
specification.
Certain RAM modules are sold with a heat spreader. It helps dissipate the
heat from the individual memory ICs, keeping them cooler.
RAM Amount always comes in powers of 2, so you will always see numbers
like 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of RAM, to mention some examples of memory
units.
Hard Disk Drive(HDD)
A hard drive is still found in most computers to this day. It’s

usually a mechanical drive that stores all the data.
Apart from storing data, it can also be used as a boot

drive to run the operating system from it. You can install
operating systems of many different kinds depending on
your needs.
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
A power supply unit mounts inside the computer case.

This converts the AC mains supply from the power cord
from a wall socket and supplies the correct DC voltages
to all the components inside the computer.
A computer power supply supplies the following voltages:
+3.3v: This voltage is supplied to the motherboard.

+5V: This voltage is supplied to the motherboard and other computer
hardware.
+12V: This voltage is supplied to the motherboard and other components.
-12V: This voltage is supplied to the motherboard.
Can we add other parts of the computer that is not in

the list above?
Other Parts of the Computer
Sound Card - a device which can be slotted into a computer to allow the use
of audio components for multimedia applications
Graphics Card - A graphics card (also called a video card, display card,
graphics adapter, GPU, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, or display adapter) is
an expansion card which generates a feed of output images to a display
device (such as a computer monitor).
Page 10 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
Solid State Drive - An SSD is also a type of hard drive, but it doesn’t have
any moving parts. It consists of a bank of flash memory that can hold a
reasonable amount of data.

Computer assembly procedures
Enumerate the procedures in assembling computer
Explain each procedure
Introduction
In the previous information sheets you have learned about the different
types of the computer, the computer parts, the computer peripherals and the
tools needed to assemble computer system unit.
In this information sheet you will learn how to perform assemble and
disassemble of the computer in accordance with established procedures and
systems requirements.
 How to disassemble & rebuild a desktop PC?

 What are the benefits that we can get if we
learn how to assemble and disassemble PC?
Computer assembly
If you are rebuilding the computer, insert the components in the opposite
order you removed them, starting with the motherboard. Plug in all the
Page 23 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
cables as you insert the component; most items will plug into the
motherboard and the power supply unit.
Step 1: Prepare Case for Assembly
The first step in building a computer is to prepare

your case for the build. You want to familiarize
yourself with your case so that you avoid making
costly mistakes. You want to remove both of the
side panels of the case by locating the screws that
hold both of them in place. They are located
behind the case, where the I/O panel is located. After removing the screws,
you want to slide the panels back and lift them away from the case.
Step 2: Grounding
The next step is to discharge yourself from static

electricity. There are several ways to do this. The best
and safest method is to purchase an Anti-Static strap
for your wrist, which are sold at most electronic
stores, and connect it to any metal parts of your
computer case. With this strap you prevent the
buildup of static electricity within your body and thus
avoid damaging any of the components.
Assemble the Motherboard

Caution: It is important to research that the parts are compatible with
each other, and that the PSU provides the proper voltage (this changes
based on country, parts, etc). It is important to check the
motherboards CPU support list to see if the processor is listed.
Incompatible parts may require a need to flash the BIOS which will
require a transitioning processor in order to complete this process.
Step 3: Install the CPU
The next step is to install the CPU within your

motherboards CPU socket. Located the socket on
the motherboard, which is generally located within a
heatsink and the RAM slots. On the socket there is
a small metal arm that holds the CPU in place on
the motherboard. Lift the metal arm out of the way
and open access to the CPU socket.

Page 24 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
Step 4: Install the CPU Fan
The next step is to install the CPU fan. Apply a

small amount of thermal paste onto the CPU.
The most common method is to only apply about
a pea-size dot on the center of the CPU and
gently spread along the CPU until it covers the
top of it.
Step 5: Install RAM
The next step is to install the RAM into its

sockets. The ram sockets are located just to the
side of the CPU. If your motherboard comes with
four slots, it is important that you check which
slots you must placed the RAM in order of. This
can be done by checking the motherboard
manual that comes with your motherboard.
Step 6: Install the Motherboard
The next step is to install the motherboard. The

first thing you will want to do is to prepare your
case for the motherboard. You must locate on
your motherboard where each of the screws for
your motherboard will be placed in and install
each of the standoffs. Then take your
motherboard and line it up amongst the
standoffs and push it down into place.
Step 7: Install Hard Drives
The next step is to install the hard drive.

Depending on your case, you may need to either
remove screws from the hard drive bays or simply
remove the plastic clips in order to open up the
hard drive bays. Consult the manual for your
case for more detailed instructions.
Step 8: Install PSU

Page 25 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
The next step is to install the Power Supply Unit. The
first thing you want to do is to locate the area in
your case in which the PSU will be placed in.
Generally this area is in the bottom left of your case,
however, some cases the PSU is mounted on the top
of the case.. Place your PSU within your case and
make sure that the socket faces outside the case. Next you will want to
fasten the screws through you case and make sure the PSU is securely in
place.
Step 9: Attach all the connectors

 Attach SATA from Mobo to HDD
 Attach the 12 volts 4 pins CPU Supply
 Attach the 24 Pins Mother board Supply
 Attach Audio Connector
 Attach USB Connector
 Attach Front Panel Connector
Front Panel Connector Placement
Computer disassembly
Generally, the process is to unplug all the cords and cables

connecting a component to other components, then remove the part from
the case or frame. Components can be attached to the case with special
clips, screws, or by insertion into a holder. In each case, no more than a
small amount of force is needed to remove the part. If it’s not moving, check
for more attachments that are holding the component in place.
If you are rebuilding the computer, be sure to document what area you
removed components from, the order you removed them, and what cables
attach to each part. You can take pictures before each removal or write it
down. Keep careful track of the screws, as well. Keep the screws with their
relevant component by screwing them back in the holes either on the
component or on the frame or by taping them to the correct location.
Step 1 – Unplug your computer and peripheral items
Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord and

unplug any peripheral items attached to the computer,

Page 26 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, headphones, and any external
drives.
Wear a grounding strap or touch an unpainted metal part of the computer

to discharge any static electricity. If you walk across a carpet at any point,
touch an unpainted metal part of the computer again to discharge the built
up static electricity.
Step 2 – Remove side covers
Remove at least one of the side covers, usually the

right side as you face the front of the computer. You
might find it easier to access all the parts if you
remove both side covers; there are sometimes thumb
screws on the covers to make access easier.
Step 3 – Disconnect connectors

Disconnect all the connectors, then remove any card readers and
internal DVD players. These are usually screwed into place.
Step 4 - Remove standalone fans

Remove any standalone fans. This is a good time to remove
any dust, lint, and pet hair from the fans if you’re planning on
reusing them.
Step 5 – Remove the storage drive

Disconnect the cables and remove the storage drive.
Generally, storage drives are held in place by
multiple screws. If you have a hard drive, be gentle
when moving the drive as hard bumps can damage
the internal parts
. Step 6 – Remove memory (RAM) modules

Remove the memory (RAM) modules by pushing
the clips on both ends of the module down. This
Page 27 of 61
SYSTEM TESDA RTC 7
ALFREDO B.
will cause the module to pop up for easy removal. Do not touch the gold
connectors on the chips if you’re reusing the modules. If you're not reusing
the RAM
Step 7 – Remove power supply unit

Remove the power supply unit by unplugging the remaining connectors,
then unscrewing the unit from the frame.
Step 8 – Remove motherboard adapter or expansion cards

Remove any adapter or expansion cards from the motherboard. Although
these cards usually slide into preconfigured slots, there can be screws. Do
not touch the gold connectors on the cards if you’re reinstalling the cards.
Step 9 – Remove the motherboard

Disconnect all the cables from the motherboard, and then unscrew it from
the frame by loosening each screw a little bit before going around again
loosening each screw properly. This prevents any potential warping of the
motherboard by gradually releasing the tension on it.
All the components should now be out of the computer case. If you’re
reusing the case, this is a good time to get rid of all the dust and lint that
might have collected.
Congratulations, you’ve disassembled, your computer!
