1.3 Preliminary Tools
"A workman must rst sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well". Right
before you start the assembly, there are some tools that can't be spared.
Firstly, the most frequently-used tool is cross screwdriver by which most interior
components are xed. A suitable screwdriver can make the following job much easier. Being
so, does any screwdriver apply? Actually a magnetic tip one is suggested. That is because
in the process of setting up your PC, the situation is very likely to happen: you accidentally
drop the screws into the interior of the computer. In case of this, a magnetic screwdriver helps
attracting the fallen screws that are hard to reach by hands. Some screw holes are placed
where hands can hardly reach. At this time, we need a magnetic screwdriver, too. In addition,
the size of our tool also matters. Generally, the domestic 107 cross screwdriver is the most
appropriate one. Besides, a at screwdriver is also essential for installing CPU on socket 479.
When putting things together, it is necessary to adjust Jumper. In most cases, things
can be done barehanded. But there comes a time always when your hands fail to reach in
and x the problem. You'll thank God with a pliers on hand which keeps you away from any
annoying trouble for just setting one JUMPER.
What is Jumper?
Jumper is something generally
referred to " Jumping wire" that utilizes the
short circuit of the pins to tune up some
functions, such as FSB (front side bus),
ratio, and sound switches adjusting.
