Step 13
Locate any adapter cards that are installed in the computer, such as a video, NIC, or modem
adapter.
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.
List the adapter cards and the slot types below.
Adapter Card>>>>>>>>>> Slot Type
NIC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RAM
Sound card>>>>>>>>>>>>> Riser
Video card >>>>>>>>>>>>>CPU
Step 14
Locate the memory modules on the motherboard.
What type of memory modules are installed on the motherboard? DIMM and SIMM
How many memory modules are installed on the motherboard? depending on the form factor of a motherboard
Remove the memory modules from the motherboard. Be sure to release any locking tabs that may be securing the memory module. Hold the memory module by the edges and gently lift out of the slot. Put the memory modules in an antistatic bag.
Step 15
Remove all data cables from the motherboard. Make sure to note the connection location of any cable you disconnect.
What types of cables were disconnected?IDE cables,power supply cables
You have completed this lab. The computer case should contain the motherboard, the CPU, and any cooling devices. Do not remove any additional components from case.
