BIOS CONFIGURATION

BIOS Setup is entered during the booting-up of the system. When booting start you press the correct key on the keyboard each manufacturer uses a different key (F1, F2, F8, F9, Alt, Ctrl etc). During boot up, the BIOS entrance page will flash on the screen for a second or two. You may have to boot up once or twice just to have enough time to look around that page and see which key they want you to use to enter BIOS.

What Is BIOS ?

The BASIC INPUT /OUTPUT SYSTEM (BIOS), also known as the System Bios, is a de facto standard defining a firmware interface.

               ^{BIOS software is built into the PC, and it is the first code run by a PC when Powered ON Or BOOT FIRMWARE.}

^{The First function of the BIOS is load and start and operating system. The first job for the BIOS is to initialize and identify  system device like video display card, keyboard , mouse, hard disk, cd/dvd and other hardware then executes the software and loads. This process is known as BOOTING}

                

                     ^{BIOS software is stored on a non-volatile ROM chip built into the system on the motherboard.} 

 

           ^{BIOS also have a user interface it is menu system accessed by pressing a certain key on the keyboard when the PC start} 

• configure hardware 
• set the system clock
• enable or disable system components

 

Installing Drive Jumpers (Hard disk, CD ROM and DVD ROM)

Installing drive Jumpers 

When we using SATA drive there is no need to adjust jumpers but we using OR installing IDE/ATA (PATA) drives we need to set the drives jumpers. Every IDE/ATA channel can handle two drives, one is master and second is slave. Consult your drive's instructions on how to set the jumpers. Normaly the jumper configurations are usually either printed on the back, or on the top of the drive. And drives can be configured in 2 ways: Drive Select or Cable Select. The drive jumpers are in the middle (between the connector for the cable and the power connector)

How To Assemble The Personal Computer Steps

How to assemble the own personal computer that is the main problem so today we discuss the steps for this issue that is the place where is you now the knowledge for the computer assembling steps:

Installing the Motherboard

Every component is in place and clean and also a big enough place.

First we will be installing the motherboard which is a piece of cake to install.

1. Open the side doors of the cabinet
2. Lay the cabinet on its side

Installing the CPU

CPU is the main part of the computer or it is heart of computer so make sure do not drop it or mishandle it. 

1. Lift the CPU Lever on the motherboard
2. Place the CPU Properly on the motherboard
3. Pull down the lever to secure the CPU in Place

Warning: Do not try to push the CPU into the motherboard!

Installing the heat sink

When we installed the processor we proceed to installing the heat sink. 

1. Place the heat sink on the processor
2. Put the jacks in place
3. Secure the heat sink with the lever

After this you will need to connect the cable of the heat sink on the motherboard. Again look into the motherboard manual on where to connect it and then connect it to the right port to get your heat sink in operational mode.
