计算机版图之九
“概念电脑”的组装(下)
Step 7:
安装主板
Installing the
Motherboard
A- USB ports / B-PS/2 ports / C- Parallel port/D-Serial port/E-ATX
Power Supply/
F-AGP slot/G-PCI slots/H-CPU slot/I-Memory slot /J-IDE
Controller/K-IDE Floppy controller /
L-IDE controller/M-Clock Battery/N-Audio Modem Riser slot / O-Dip
Switches
Ensure that the motherboard mounting area in the case is free of
obstructions and that all necessary risers have been installed in
the right spots. If there is an extra riser that does not line up
with a hole in the motherboard, make sure you remove it. Lower the
board into the case as in step 2. Screw the motherboard into the
risers. Note that some forms of risers will not require screws to
be used. You can figure it out. Once the board has been securely
attached, plug in the 24 or 20-pin main ATX power connector (see
pic).
If you are
installing an Intel Pentium 4 machine, you will probably be
required to connect one or two extra power connectors (see
pic).
Plug the 4-pin 12V auxiliary power, and 6-pin power connectors in
also. Note: some motherboards may not require the 6-pin connector
at all.
Step 8:
安装软驱
Installing
the floppy drive
Ensure that one of the 3.5-inch bays in your case is open. If your
case came with rails for the floppy drive, attach them to the sides
of the drive and slide the drive into the front of the computer
until it clicks into place. Rails are small metal pieces which clip
or screw on to the sides of the drive and allow it to be inserted
and removed from the case with minimal effort in case you are
wondering.
Otherwise, slide the drive into the front of the
computer until the faceplate of the floppy drive is flush with the
front bezel of the case and the screw holes along the side of the
drive line up with the case. When everything lines up, screw the
floppy drive in securely on both sides.
Step
9: 安装硬驱
Installing the
hard-drive
First, we need to ensure that the hard drive is set up to be the
master drive on its IDE cable. Each IDE cable can support up to two
IDE devices, such as hard-drives, CD-drives, Zip Drives, etc., but
in order for this to work, one IDE device must be designated as a
master device, and one must be designated as a slave device. You
cannot have two master devices or two slave devices on a single
cable.
Step
10: 安装光驱
Installing optical (CD)
drive
Ensure that at least one full sized 5.25" bay is open in the case.
Examine the jumper settings on the top of the drive, as you did
with the hard-drive. Ensure that the drive is set to 'master'. If
your case came with rails, screw them to the sides of the CD drive
and insert it into the front of the case until it clicks into
place.
Otherwise,
slide the drive into the front of the computer until the faceplate
of the drive is flush with the front bezel of the case and the
screw holes along the side of the drive line up with the case.
Then, screw it in securely on both sides. Attach the power cable
(same as the hard-drive power cable) to the drive. Attach your
secondary IDE cable to the drive. Note that generally this should
be a regular 40-wire IDE cable, not the 80-wire UDMA IDE cable that
is used for the hard-drive. Some DVD drives will use the 80-wire
cable, however. See the picture below for a comparison of the two
IDE cable types.
Step
11: 安装显卡
Installing
the video card
For an AGP videocard: The AGP port is the brown slot at the top of
the row of peripheral (PCI) slots that runs down the board. Ensure
that the catch (AGP Retention Mechanism) at the far end of the port
is open, if it is present.
Step 12:
安装PCI总线扩展卡
Installing PCI
expansion cards
All PCI cards are physically installed the same way. With modern
motherboards, which slots you decide to use should not matter, but
it is a good idea to space your expansion cards out in order to
help with case ventilation. Simply insert the card firmly into an
empty PCI slot. It should sit evenly once inserted, with only a
fraction of the gold traces on the bottom of the card
visible.
Step 13:
安装扫尾
Finishing
up
If
your motherboard came with any extras, such as Modem or network
adaptor riser cards, or additional USB ports on a mounting bracket,
now's the time to plug them into the board (consult your manual for
the correct locations) and screw them into any free mounting
brackets you may have.
Double-check all the wiring. Make sure all connections are firmly
attached, and ensure that no wires are running close to the top of
the CPU heat sink fan. You do NOT want to jam the CPU heat sink
fan, especially with an AMD processor.
Double-check everything again. Now get all those loose screws
out.
Step 14:
通电试机
Powering
up for the first time
Stand the case upright, if it is not already. Ensure that no wires
are touching the CPU heat sink fan. Plug your monitor cable into
the video card (VGA) port, and turn on the monitor. Plug your PS/2
(or USB) keyboard cable into the keyboard port. Plug in the power
cord and switch the power supply switch to the on (I) position.
Press the power button. Suspense.... sparks?
If everything is connected as it should be, all system fans should
start spinning, you should hear a single beep, and after about 5-10
seconds, the amber light on the monitor should go green, and you
will see the computer start to boot.
Depending on the manufacturer of the Motherboard, you may get a
splash screen, or just a memory check. The system will then halt
with an error because we have yet to install an operation system.
If something has gone horribly wrong, just go straight down to the
troubleshooting section.
Now check the front LEDs to see if you plugged them in correctly.
Power off and fix the LEDS because you didn't. Test the reset
button. Assuming you have got to this point without any problems,
put the side panels back on, plug in your mouse and network cables
and pop your favourite operating system into the CD drive, then
power the system back up again. You are done assembling the
computer!
到此为止,一台PC便组装出来了,不过,它现在只是一台裸机(没有安装软件)!
