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)!
