14.1 Build a Computer From Scratch
You work at a computer repair store. You're building a new computer for a customer.
In this lab, your task is to complete the following:
Add the computer case to the Workspace.
Install the motherboard. Build the computer using the single motherboard and correct hardware on the Shelf. The motherboard will determine which processor, power supply, and hard drives to install.
Connect the front panel connectors to the motherboard.
Install a power supply.
Install the processor.
Install the memory so it will function in dual channel mode.
Install the SSD hard drive.
Install the SATA hard drive.
Install the optical drive.
Connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
Boot into the BIOS configuration utility to verify that you have installed the hardware correctly.
In this lab, you are only required to prepare the computer up to the point where an operating system can be installed. There will be hardware leftover on the Shelf after you build the computer.
