ASSEMBLE AND DISASSEMBLE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM
In COC 1: Installing and Configuring Systems, you will be introduced to the basic components of a computer from hardware to software. Here it will teach you how to assemble and disassemble a system unit and install windows on computers.
COMPUTER SYSTEM CASE:
It contains most of the hardware of the computer. The components inside the case are the CPU, motherboard, memory, mass storage devices, power supply unit, and various expansion cards (which are referred as the internal hardware). The purpose of the case is to build a structure to make sure that these components fit together and function well, and to protect the components inside the computer system.
MOTHERBOARD:
The motherboard is the main circuit of the computer, through which all components and external periphirals connect. This provides connections and support for essential components such as the CPU, RAM, storage devices, expanssion cards, and periphirals. It facilitates communication between these components, enabling the computer to work well.
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU):
The primary component of a computer that acts as its "control center", also referred to as "central" or "main" processor. CPU is aa complex set of electronic circuitry that runs the machine's operating system and apps.
POWER SUPPLY (PSU):
A power supply unit (PSU) is a hardware device that converts electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load.
RANDOM ACESS MEMORY (RAM):
One of the most important parts of the computer. It provides high-speed, short-term memory for the computer's CPU. RAM allows the computer to perform most of its everyday tasks, such as loading applications, browsing the internet, editing a spreadsheet, or experiencing the latest game.
HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD) or SOLID-STATE DRIVE (SSD):
It stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. HDD is a type of data storage device that is used in laptops and desktop computers. An HDD is a non-volatile storage device, which means it can retain the stored data even when no power is suplied to the device.
CPU COOLER FAN:
This device is designed to draw heat away from the system CPU and other components in the enclosure.
GRAPHICS CARD or VIDEO CARD:
Also known as graphics processing unit (GPU). Graphics Card is a hardware component responsible for rendering and displaying images, videos, and animations on the computer monitor.
Now that you have learned about the components, you may start computer disassembly. Make sure you have the tools you need and prepare a container to keep the screws in so you have them when you finally proceed to assemble the computer parts.

Below are the step-by-step text instructions for disassembling and assembling a system unit.
Step 1. Unplug all the cables connected to each component. Make sure to push down the button on the SATA Cable before pulling out. When you are done pulling out the cables from HDD and CD/DVD ROM, you may now proceed on removing the cables attached to the motherboard.
Step 2. Remove the CD/DVD ROM
Step 3. Remove the Hard Disk Drive.
Step 4. Remove the Power supply using screwdriver. To tighten the screw, clockwise. To loosen, counterclockwise.
Step 5. Remove the Motherboard also by using your screwdriver.
Step 6. Remove the Heat Sink.
Step 7. Remove the RAM. To do this, unlock the sides by pushing them down at the same time. Grab the RAM from its sides.
Step 8. Remove the CMOS Battery. Push down the little button until the CMOS pops out.
And there you go; you have finally performed disassembly. Now, you may proceed to assemble the parts. Assembling will be easier than disassembling since you have an experience now.
Start off on the last thing you disassembled up to the first steps you did.
