Task 2(Optional): A practice on disassemble the components of a PC and assembling them to working condition.

Why should one learn about hardware? 1. Troubleshoot you and save time. 2. Knowing about system internals and components. 3. Very easy installation for modern hardware. 4. Install extra memory. 5. Removing components.

Safety Precautions: 1. Beware of electrostatic discharge (ESO) 2. Build computer on a hard surface, away from concepts. 3. Wear shoes and the short sleeved cotton wear. 4. Use Phillips, head screw driver. 5. Keep the components away from moisture. 6. Avoid using pressure while installing.

Steps for Assembling: 1. Setting the cabinet ready. 2. Preparing to fit the components. 3. Fitting the mother board. 4. Fitting the RAM, processor and cooler. 5. Installing PCI cards. 6. Fitting the hard disk and floppy drive. 7. Installing the CD ROM drives. 8. Connecting the ribbon cables. 9. Powering the drives and mother board. 10.
