This chapter provides you with the information on
system assembly procedures. While doing the instal-
lation, be careful in holding the components and follow
the installation procedures. For some components, if
you install in the wrong orientation, the components
will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the com-
ponents.

A Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver and a athead screw-
driver, can be used to do most of the installation. Choose
one with a magnetic head would be better.
Pliers, can be used as an auxiliary tool to connect some
connectors or cables.
Forceps, can be used to pick up tiny screws or set up the
jumpers.
Rubber gloves, can prevent yourself from being incised
and suffering the static charge.
