Introduction to
Computer Assembly
Computer assembly is the process of building a computer from
individual components. It can be a rewarding experience, allowing you to
customize your system to your specific needs and budget. This
presentation will guide you through the process of assembling a desktop
computer, covering essential components, installation steps, and
troubleshooting tips.

Installing the Power Supply
Choose the Right Power Supply
Select a power supply with sufficient wattage to handle the power demands of all your components. Consider future upgrades when choosing wattage.

Mount the Power Supply


Locate the power supply bay in your computer case and securely mount the power supply using the provided screws.

Connect the Power Supply Cables


Connect the necessary power cables to your motherboard, graphics card, and other components, ensuring each cable is connected to the correct port.

Locate the RAM slots on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard's


manual for the optimal RAM configuration (dual-channel or single-
channel). Carefully align the RAM module with the slot and gently push
down until it clicks into place.
Installing the Storage Drives

HDD Installation
Mount the HDD in a drive bay using screws and connect it to the motherboard using a
SATA cable.

SSD Installation
Mount the SSD in a designated M.2 slot or in a drive bay using screws, connecting it to
the motherboard using a SATA cable.

Connecting Cables
Connect the SATA power and data cables to the storage drives, ensuring they are
securely connected.
Connecting Peripheral Devices
Connect your monitor to the graphics card using a display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI). Plug in your keyboard and mouse
to the USB ports. If using wired internet, connect your Ethernet cable to the motherboard's Ethernet port.
Assembling the Computer
and Troubleshooting
Carefully close your computer case and ensure all screws are tightened.
Connect the power cord and press the power button. If the computer
doesn't power on, troubleshoot potential issues like improper
connections or a faulty power supply.
