- 1. Practical Installation By Nick Sampson
- 2. Backing Up • It is important to back up a computer because if something goes wrong whilst you are updating the computer or changing some of the components, you will have your work saved so it won’t really be lost.
- 3. Properties • In this image, you can see that there is only 1GB of RAM on the computer at the moment, which means that it will need to be upgraded.
- 4. Drivers • Before the NIC has been installed, for it to work, you must install the drivers. These are disks that take you through steps to make the NIC compatible with the computer.
- 5. Installing Drivers 1 • This is one of the very simple steps of installing the drivers. All this one is asking is that you select your language.
- 6. Installing Drivers 2 • The next step of the setup wizard is to turn off the computer and install the NIC into a DCIe slot. Then, after you have installed it and the computer is turned on, you will be able to connect to the Internet wirelessly.
- 7. Protecting Components • Whilst you are not using a component, you should store it in an antistatic bag, which prevents antistatic discharge when they are put into the motherboard.
- 8. Motherboard This is the space for the RAMs. • This is an image of the motherboard before we have upgraded it. As you can see, there isn’t a NIC. We are going to put in a NIC and upgrade the RAM. These are the DCIe slots, which is where we are going to plug the NICs in.
- 9. Updating RAM • Although this image looks like nothing has changed, this photo was taken after the RAM was installed, which meant that there was 1.5GB of RAM instead of just 1GB of RAM.
- 10. Installing NIC • In this image, you can see that the NIC has been installed. It has been pushed right into the DCIe slots so that the copper from the NIC connects to the copper in the DCIe slot. If it wasn’t pushed down, then the copper wouldn’t connect and the NIC wouldn’t work.
- 11. Updated Properties • Once the RAM has been installed, if you look at the properties, you will see that the Installed memory has increased from 1GB to 1.5GB.
