Discussion
Installing HDDs
An example of an internal drive is the Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

Installation Procedure:

1) Align the hard disk drive with the drive bay then, insert the hard drive
into the bay until the holes on the drive align with that of the system
case.

2) Secure the drive using the appropriate screws.

77
3) Connect the power supply to the hard drive.

4) Connect the SATA (Serial Advanced Technology connector to the


hard drive.

5) Connect the SATA connector that is connected to the hard drive to


the motherboard.
78
Installing Optical Drives
An optical drive is used to read and write information onto a CD or DVD.

Installation Procedure:
1) Align the optical drive to the drive bay

2) Insert the drive into the bay until holes on the drive align with that of
the system case.

3) Secure the drive using the appropriate screws.

79
4) Connect the power supply to the hard drive.

5) Connect the SATA connector to the hard drive.

6) Connect the SATA connector that is connected to the hard drive to


the motherboard.

Installing NIC

80
A Network Interface Card (NIC) allows the computer to connect to a
network. It usually used a PCI(Peripheral Component Interconnect) and
PCIe expansion slots on the motherboard.

Installation Procedure
1. Align the adapter card with the suited expansion slot on the
motherboard. Gently press down until it is fully seated.

2. Secure its pc mounting bracket using the required screws.

Installation Wireless NIC


A wireless NIC allows the computer to connect to a wireless network.
Installation Procedure:
1. Align the adapter card with the suited expansion slot on the
motherboard.
2. Gently press down until it is fully seated.
3. Secure its pc mounting bracket using the required screws.

Installing a Video Adapter Card


A video adapter card is used to enable the interaction of the computer and
the display. It used PCI, AGP, and PCle expansion slots.

Installation Procedure:

81
1. Align the adapter card with the suited expansion slot on the
motherboard.
2. Gently press down until it is fully seated
3. Secure its pc mounting bracket using the required screws.

Activity
