2.Masukkan then locking pegs pegs pegs in the holes tucked in between the second processor card holder and press it to fit exactly into the hole slot.
3. Install HeatsinkFungsi heatsink is to remove heat generated by the processor via the conduction of heat from the processor to optimize heat transfer heatsink.Untuk the heatsink should be fitted tightly on the top of the processor with some clip as a drag while the contacts on the heatsink surface coated with genes Conductor panas.Bila heatsink is equipped with the fan power connector on the fan is connected to the fan connector on the motherboard.
4. Replacing Memory Modules
Memory modules are generally installed sequentially from the smallest socket number. The order of installation can be seen from the diagram motherboard.Setiap the SIMM memory module type, DIMM and RIMM can be distinguished by the position of grooves on the sides and bottom of the modul.Cara set for each type of memory module as follows.

SIMM Type
1.Sesuaikan indentation position on the module with the bumps in the slot.
2.Masukkan module by making a 45 degree oblique angle to the slot
3.Dorong until the module is upright in the slot, the locking lever on the slot will automatically lock the module.

Type DIMM and RIMM
How to install a DIMM and RIMM modules together and there is only one way that will not be reversed because there are two grooves for guidance. Perbedaanya DIMM and RIMM at the position curve
1.Rebahkan locking catches on the end of slots
2.sesuaikan indentation position on the connector module with a bulge in the slot. then insert the module into the slot.
3.Kait lock automatically locks the module in the slot when the module is installed right.

5. Replacing the motherboard on the casing
The motherboard is installed into the casing with a screw and holder (standoff). How to install as follows:
1.Tentukan position for each mounting hole plastic and metal. The hole for the metal holder (metal spacer) is characterized by a ring at the edge of the hole.
2.Pasang metal or plastic holder on the tray casing in accordance with the position of each corresponding mounting holes on the motherboard.
3.Tempatkan motherboard on the casing so that the head holder tray out of the hole on the motherboard. Replace the locking screw on each metal holder.
4.Pasang frame I / O ports (I / O sheild) on the motherboard if any.
5.Pasang tray casing which is mounted the motherboard on the casing and lock with a screw.

6. Install Power Supply
Several types of chassis is equipped with power supply. When the power supply is not included then the way the installation as follows:
1.Masukkan power supply at the rack on the back of the casing. Attach the four locking screws.
2.HUbungkan power connector from the power supply to the motherboard. ATX power connector types have only one way of installation so as not to be reversed. For this type of non-ATX with two separate connectors, the cable-black ground wires must be placed side by side and mounted in the middle of the motherboard power connector. Connect the power cord for the fan, if using a fan for cooling the CPU.

7. Replacing the motherboard and Casing Cable
After the motherboard installed in the chassis next step is installing the cable I / O on the motherboard and the panel with the chassis.
* Attach a data cable for the floppy drive on the floppy controller on the motherboard connector
* Attach the IDE cable to the primary and secondary IDE connector on the motherboard.
* For non-ATX motherboard. Connect the serial and parallel port cable to the connector on the motherboard. Note the position of pin 1 to install.
* On the back of the casing there is a hole to install additional types of non-slot port. Open the lock plate screw hole closed lalumasukkan port connector ports that want to set up and install a screw back.
* When the mouse is not yet available ports on the back of the card casing mouse connector should be installed and connected to the mouse connector on the motherboard.
* The relationship connector cable from the switch on the front panel chassis, LED, internal speakers and ports installed in front of the casing when the motherboard. Check your motherboard diagram to locate the proper connector.

8. Install Drive
