Chapter 122  diy(Part 2)

"Okay, the next step is to install the memory. This is relatively simple. Just insert it directly into the rectangular slot on the edge of the CPU. The memory is also designed to be anti-insert and reverse. You have to check it when inserting it. If it is reversed, it cannot be inserted." Liu Yufan said, installing the memory into the slot closest to the CPU. He exerted force with his hands slightly, and only a "click" sound was heard, and the memory was safe.

"Where you can say that the simplest system is finished." Liu Yufan finished installing the memory and straightened up and said to the two people next to him.

"Yufan, what is the simplest system?"

"Are these four slots the same? You can only fit into the first one?"

Seeing Liu Yufan stop installing, Xue Dongzhe and Wang Xiaoyong both raised a problem.

"It's the simplest system. Well, I'll explain to you later. In theory, any of these four memory slots can be used. But I still recommend that you install them in the slot closest to the CPU. Okay, let's install them into the chassis." Liu Yufan said, pulling a large carton from the ground next to him, cutting the seal on the surface with a knife, and immediately revealing the white foam inside.

He took off the foam board and the milky white chassis was exposed. Liu Yufan asked Xue Dongzhe to help hold the cardboard box below, and pulled the chassis out with both hands.

"This is the computer case. It is empty now. When we install all the parts, it will work." Liu Yufan said, using a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the metal plate on the side and put it aside, and then took out a small bag of screws that had been prepared from it. Then he called the two of them forward and said, "As for the installation order of parts in the case, based on personal habits, I usually install the power supply first, because this can prevent the pile of wires on the power supply from scratching the motherboard." Liu Yufan said, picked up a Great Wall power supply on the table, opened the outer packaging and installed it on the motherboard.

There is no difficulty in installing the power supply, just use screws to fix it on the back and forth of the chassis. After the power supply is installed, Liu Yufan fixed the pile of messy wires to one side of the chassis with the wire inside, and then screwed the six copper studs that fixed the motherboard to the chassis according to their position.

"Remember this position, the big board and the small board are different. We use the big board, and the two screws below should be screwed here." Liu Yufan pointed with his finger, then picked up the newly installed motherboard and carefully installed it.

"When fixing the screws, you should be careful not to tighten them too tightly. The tightness of the six screws should be similar. In short, one principle is to not deform the motherboard, otherwise the internal stress will shorten the service life of the motherboard." Liu Yufan said seriously. This is the key point and is also the most likely place for beginners to install the machine. Because people's habit of screwing screws is usually the tighter the better. But if they also twist the motherboard like this when installing the motherboard, it will be a bad thing, and it may happen if they are screwed on the spot!

The motherboard was fixed. Liu Yufan took the graphics card of the Colorful MX440 again, and looked at the dazzling game screen on the box, and the interests of several people were attracted by them again.

"This is an agp graphics card, and it's the main thing to play games." Liu Yufan knew that he couldn't explain the functions of the graphics card to them now, so he just took it over in one sentence. After installing the graphics card in just a few seconds, he connected the hard drive and the entire case was no longer empty as before, and became lively.

"The next thing is to connect various cables. Although it is quite messy, you can remember it if you do it a few more times. Most of these cables have anti-insertion and reverse settings, and it's not difficult." Liu Yufan said, while slowly connecting various cables. Several people looked at each other so hard that they couldn't bear to blink, for fear of missing something. In their opinion, everything Liu Yufan did at this moment was so fresh and interesting.

However, when connecting the pins on the front panel of the chassis on the motherboard, Liu Yufan worked a lot of effort. The pins were too dense and the signs on them were too small. Liu Yufan patiently explained to them the meaning of the marks, such as power supply, restart, hard disk indicator light, speaker, etc., and did it slowly again. The two people still said that they didn't remember it, and as for Ma Wendong, he was even more overwhelmed.

Seeing the two of them feeling anxious, Liu Yufan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll write these things on paper later. You can just follow them. There's nothing difficult."

After connecting these things, Liu Yufan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, when you get here, you've basically finished it. Below is a power-on test, partitioning and installing the hard disk."

When everyone heard that the computer was about to finish the installation, they were looking forward to it, wanting to see what this computer looks like.

After skillfully connecting the external power cord and connecting the optical drive, Liu Yufan carefully checked the connection again, and after confirming that there were no errors, he pressed the power button of the chassis.

"Beep!" With a light sound, the CPU fan and the power fan on the motherboard turned around at the same time. At the same time, white rows of English letters appeared on the 17 flat monitor.

"I've written words, I've written words!" Looking at the changes in the screen, several people became a little excited.

Liu Yufan looked like he was used to it. He helped his friends install computers many times in his spare time in his previous life. He has seen such scenes many times.

Proficiently press the pop-up key of the optical drive and put a 98 system disk with partitioning tools in it. Then restart again, press the del key to enter the biso settings interface.

"Why are there a bunch of English? Yufan, can you understand?" Xue Dongzhe asked in confusion as he watched Liu Yufan skillfully operate the cursor with the keyboard.

"I don't understand them all, but it doesn't matter. Just remember a few key settings. You see, here is the basic settings. This item is a floppy drive. Because our machine does not install a floppy drive, we need to set this item to none, and this part is to set the startup sequence. Because we need to install the system, the first startup item must be set to cd-rom." Liu Yufan said while demonstrating, and quickly adjusted the bios.

Then restarted again, and the optical drive placed on the chassis made a "buzzing" sound, and the disk reading began.

Because it is a computer room machine, Liu Yufan did not add an optical drive to each machine, but just bought a few to make the system easier.

Seeing the CD operation interface popping up, Liu Yufan quickly called out the pq software and then taught the two people step by step to partition.

"The hard drive is very small, only 4 g, so it is enough to leave 1.5 g for disk C. The 98 system does not require too much space, and the remaining one D drive is enough." Liu Yufan explained while partitioning.

After the partition was completed, it was restarted again. This time it was to install the operating system win98. This time it took a long time, and it took about forty minutes. Liu Yufan was idle, so he simply explained some common knowledge about computer maintenance to them.

However, these people's interest is obviously not in this regard. They are all staring at the 17 flat monitor, looking at the introduction of the "98 new features" displayed on it, and exclaiming from time to time.

For them, computers are something new and have never been exposed to them before. Now, seeing Liu Yufan pieced together, the screen actually showed the screen. All of this made everyone feel so magical.

Forty minutes were not long or short, and it passed by everyone's attention and chat. As the system restarted again, everyone finally saw the familiar blue sky and white clouds.

However, since the graphics card driver has not been installed yet, the picture is still a bit rough.

"Why is this image so unclear?" Looking at the monotonous sixteen-colored pictures on the screen, Ma Wendong was slightly disappointed. The display effect was too poor, far worse than the TV. What's so fun about it?

"Don't worry, the driver is not ready yet." Liu Yufan said, skillfully turning on the optical drive and starting to install a series of drivers. While installing it, he sighed that the win98 system is a troublesome. If it is XP, find a better ghost image and install the system in a few minutes.

After the various drivers were installed, the computer screen was completely renewed. Looking at the clear blue sky and white clouds and the icons on it, everyone widened their eyes.

"Yufan, you're done now, how can you play?" Ma Wendong asked in confusion.

"The game needs additional installation, wait a moment." Liu Yufan said, carrying a large black plastic bag from the side, pouring it onto the table, and with a "slam", a large number of CDs scattered on the operating table.

"Wow, what kind of CDs are these?" Looking at the tempting game scenes on it, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy, look at the person drawn on it, stepping on the sword and flying!" Wang Xiaoyong picked up a plate and said, looking at the game screen above, and said excitedly.

"Look at my picture, there are tanks on it." Xue Dongzhe waved the CD of "Red Alert", which is also a very classic game.

"Oh, there are also people playing mahjong here, and you can also play mahjong here?" A little brother under Ma Wendong also curiously picked up a CD and looked left and right, and said in surprise.

"Haha, don't worry, wait a while for me to get the game ready, and everyone can play it." Liu Yufan said, tearing open the outer packaging of a CD and put the disk in the optical drive. These games were all chosen by him from the stalls selling CDs in the Electronic City. They are the most classic and popular games nowadays. I believe these games will definitely surprise those game fans!

The process of installing the game is slower, and it is thanks to the fact that Liu Yufan chose a high-configuration of the computer. Even so, it took more than two hours to be completely safe. At noon, everyone didn't go out, just bought some things outside and ate some casually.

Every time Liu Yufan installs a game, he needs to test it briefly. Those gorgeous game scenes make everyone exclaim after wave of surprise, and they wish they could snatch it over and play it for a while. Liu Yufan is right. Compared to arcades, computer games are much more playable!

"Yufan, it will take so long to install a computer. When will those fifty be installed?" Seeing that Liu Yufan finally finished adjusting the first computer, Ma Wendong looked at his watch. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Haha, Brother Dong, this is the first computer, so it's naturally a bit slow. When I make a ghost image later, I won't have to be so troublesome to install the remaining system. Don't worry, at most three days, these computers will definitely be installed." Liu Yufan patted his chest and made a promise.

"ghost? What kind of thing is that?" Ma Wendong muttered, but looking at Liu Yufan's confident look, he gradually felt relieved.

"Haha, that's great. Xiaoyong and Dongzhe are also here. We are working hard today. In a while, our Fu'an Hotel will have a good meal and I'll treat you!" Ma Wendong said generously, which immediately caused everyone to cheer.
