Verification of Computer Equipment

Initial Setup and Pre-Check

• The session begins with the introduction of Topic 6: Verification of Equipment, focusing on ensuring proper functionality after assembling a computer.

• A preliminary review is emphasized before powering on the system, highlighting the importance of checking connections and hardware recognition.

Electrical Connections

• Key electrical connections must be verified, including those from the power supply to the motherboard and various storage devices.

• Specific connectors such as TX for power distribution are discussed, noting their roles in supplying power to different components like CPUs and fans.

Component Connectivity

• Graphics cards require additional power connectors; thus, it's crucial to ensure these are properly connected for optimal performance.

• All types of connections from the power supply should be checked, including SATA for storage devices and Molex connectors for optical drives.

Voltage Considerations

• The discussion includes how multiple 12V lines can increase voltage capacity for high-performance components like gaming graphics cards.

Final Assembly Checks

• The importance of securing all components is reiterated; this includes ensuring that jumpers are correctly placed to facilitate external button connectivity (e.g., power/reset buttons).

Cooling Systems Review

• Attention is drawn to cooling systems—specifically verifying that heatsinks and fans are securely attached and functioning properly.
