STEP 1: Preparing the Case

PREPARE THE CASE
The Computer Case houses all the computer components. The first step is to slide the side panel off the case. Most side panels are secured by several screws. Inside the case are various regions that perform different functions.
The Power Supply which will typically come installed in the computer case supplies power to the computer via various sized Power Connectors and one larger ATX Power Connector.
The Motherboard Pan keeps the Motherboard in place using Brass standoffs or plastic connectors.
The Full-Height Drive Bay holds the computers CD-ROM, DVD, and CDRW drives. When these devices are installed the plastic plate on the outside of the computer case is snapped out to allow the computer user access to these devices.
The Half-Height Drive Bay contains the computers Floppy Drive, Hard Drive, as well as any other Half-Height devices E.G. Zip drive.
The PC Speaker issues various noises that give audio cues to the inner workings of the computer. For example when the computer first boots up, it emits a beep after successfully completing its self-test.
Your Computer case should come with a little bag filled with screws.
*
Chassis screws- These are little screws that are used to hold your computer cards in place.
*
Motherboard screws- These are used to fasten the Motherboard to the Motherboard pan.
*
Standoffs-These are either Brass or Plastic and are used to hold the Motherboard firmly in the case while at the same time keeping it from touching the actual metal case, which could cause a short in the motherboard.
Make sure you set the power supply to the proper voltage. 110v in the United States and 220v in other parts of the world.
You might have to install the little plastic feet on the bottom of your computer case. If you do, do it now.
STEP 2: Preparing the mother board

GETTING STARTED
Your Motherboard is the backbone of your computer. It connects your peripherals into one cohesive unit called computer.
Before you actually install the Motherboard, you should first configure it. This is where purchasing a Motherboard with a coherent manual comes into play. The Manual will instruct you how to configure your Motherboard so that it will work with your CPU. This is accomplished by setting various jumpers and dip switches. A Jumper is a set of two or three pins that jut out from your Motherboard. They are set by either capping or uncapping them with a little rubber cap. If they are uncapped then they are considered off, if they are capped then they are considered on. Your manual will tell you which jumper needs to be capped, based on what type of CPU you are using. There are some newer Motherboards that are completely "Jumperless" and are configured in the BIOS, with a special CMOS, program.
PREPARING THE MOTHERBOARD
Here is the basic procedure:
Each Motherboard has different configuration methods, so make sure to read the manual.
Set the voltage settings.
Set the jumpers to match the voltage for your CPU. Your manual should have a guide as to what your CPUs voltage should be or just read it from the chip itself.
Some boards are designed to detect the voltage automatically and then use the correct voltage. In this case, you will not have to worry about it.
You also have to configure your Motherboard so that it matches your Processor speed, and the Bus it was designed to work with. You tell the Motherboard about the processor through a roundabout way.You set the CPU speed by using a "multiplier" which is a number that when multiplied by the Bus speed equals the CPU speed. For example, if you have a CPU that was designed to work at 800MHz on a 100MHz bus, you would first set the Motherboard bus speed to 100MHz and would then tell the motherboard you are using an 800MHz CPU by setting what is called a multiplier to a setting of 8.0.
If your manual lists settings by CPU, just do what it says.
THE LAST STEP
The last step to configuring your Motherboard is to make sure all the default settings are correct. This involves going through the manual and all the default dip and jumper settings match the ones on your motherboard.
