Lab - Computer Disassembly NAME(S):  Skye Ladham-Smith Yuval Mashiach Corey gray Joseph D’Ettore Brenden Cosman

In this lab, you will disassemble a computer using safe lab procedures and the proper tools. Use extreme care and follow all safety procedures. Familiarize yourself with the tools you will be using in this lab. Note: If you cannot locate or remove the correct component, ask your instructor for help.



As you remove components, you should keep notes om how and what you removed. You should also be taking pictures of this step-by-step, as our next assignment will have you create a how-to-guide (tutorial) on how to build a computer.

Power Off the Computer.

Turn off the power to the computer and disconnect the power cable from the wall and the power supply.

Open the Computer Case.

Locate all of the screws that secure the side panels to the back of the computer. Use the proper size and type of screwdriver to remove the side panel screws. Do not remove the screws that secure the power supply to the case. Put all of these screws in one place, such as a compartment in the parts organizer or small cup. Label the compartment or cup with a piece of masking tape on which you have written ‘side panel screws’. Remove the side panels from the case.

If you have a camera or smartphone, take a picture of the inside of the computer case to be used as a reference when reassembling the computer.

Note: Some manufacturers do not use screws to fasten components inside of the computer case. Some may use plastic or metal clips that fasten components to the computer chassis. Be careful to remove only screws that are holding components in place, and not the screws that hold components together.

What type of screwdriver did you use to remove the screws?

Antistatic Wrist Strap.

Put on an antistatic wrist strap. Connect one end of the conductor to the wrist strap. Clip the other end of the conductor to an unpainted, metal part of the case.

If you have an antistatic mat, place it on the work surface and put the computer case on top of it. Ground the antistatic mat to an unpainted, metal part of the case.

Remove the Hard Drive.

Locate the hard drive. Carefully disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the hard drive.

Caution: Do NOT remove the screws that hold the hard drive together.

Gently remove the hard drive from the case. Look for a jumper reference chart on the hard drive. If there is a jumper installed on the hard drive, use the jumper reference chart to see if the hard drive is set for a Master, Slave, or Cable Select (CS) drive. Place the hard drive in an antistatic bag.

What is the jumper setting of the hard drive?

Remove Adapter Cards.

Locate any adapter cards that are installed in the computer, such as a video, NIC, or sound card.

Locate and remove the screw that secures the adapter card to the case. Put the adapter card screws in one place and label them.

Carefully remove the adapter card from the slot. Be sure to hold the adapter card by the mounting bracket or by the edges. Place the adapter card in an antistatic bag. Repeat this process for all of the adapter cards.

Note: Be very careful when removing video adapters. There is often a locking tab on the slot that must be released before the card can be removed.
