...motherboard and all other components in the computer case. It is a good idea to ground yourself to avoid electrical shock; this can also be accomplished by touching the metal edge of the computer case, antistatic wrist strap, and antistatic floor mat. Once properly grounded, we can begin removal of the motherboard by disconnecting the power, and removing data cables from the hard drive. The second step is to extract all of the PCI adapters and the video card. Keep in mind that each of the adapters attached to the motherboard are secured by a single screw on the back rail of the case. Place these screws in a container to prevent loss of the screws. Handle the adapters by the metal brackets while removing them. Now it is time to begin removing the data cables. While using both hands to disconnect the data cables, hold it as close to the connector as possible while removing it to reduce likelihood of damage to the ribbon cable. Some cables have a pull loop or tab to ease in cable removal. If so, use them to help remove the data cable with ease. The last set of connectors that have to be removed are the front panel leads, which attach to the motherboard. This includes LED’s, case speaker, and the power switch. These connectors are fairly easy to remove for the most part. Once all of the connectors have been disconnected and all the screws are removed, grasp the PCI slot and the CPU heat sink and lift the motherboard out of the computer case. The last thing to check when replacing...

...know how to build a computer? Have you ever wondered how to make a computer on your own with step by step directions? To build a low end workstation for a business or server you would have to have the proper motherboard, computer case, RAM, power supply, hard drive, CPU, and a DVD disk drive. When you are looking to build a computer you need to make sure that all of the parts are compatible and will fit in your tower. I would first look for a motherboard and computer case. I went with a biostar G41D3 motherboard. It is a micro ATX so you will have to make all of your components will fit onto it. You will have to pick a tower that will fit the micro ATX motherboard. I chose the cooler master elite mid tower case. I chose this case because it will have more air flow since it will be a server so it will probably be running more frequently than a regular computer. I then chose a hard drive. To choose a hard drive you have to know what kind it is. Usually the motherboard will come with a list of compatible hardware. The motherboard I chose is compatible with a SATA hard drive.I chose an intel dual processor because it does not need to perform a lot of tasks at once and it goes with the motherboard. You can find out that the motherboard and the CPU fit together by looking at the specifications of the motherboard. I chose a Toshiba 1 TB hard drive. I figured since there will be a lot of information on a server it would need a lot of space to hold users and computers IP addresses. Then...

...Instructions on replacing motherboard If you are replacing the motherboard with the same model, you should not have to reload the chipset or have to re-install the operating system. This is not always the case but normally it is. If you have access to your personal data, you may want to back it up before replacing the motherboard just to be safe. If you are replacing the motherboard with a different model, then the chances are good that you will have to reload windows. You might be able to install just the chipset and be OK but if that doesn't work, then a re-install is needed. Below is instructions on replacing a motherboard. This is general instructions. Due to the numerous variations of computers, I am not able to go into detail but can give general instructions. For more specific instructions, consult the manufacturer of your computer. NOTE: Most if all cables and connections are easy to determine where they go. Most cables will only plug into one location only so there is no confusion where they plug in at. Also most connections are keyed so they will only go in one direction so you can't accidentally reverse them. However there are a few motherboards that uses cables that you may not be able to determine which one goes where. Before removing cables, check to see if there is more than one location that cable can plug into. You can also do the following to make sure you don't plug it in the wrong place. 1. Draw a diagram of the motherboard. 2. On the diagram...

...Case Solutions Fundamentals of Corporate Finance Ross, Westerfield, and Jordan 9th edition CHAPTER 1 THE McGEE CAKE COMPANY 1. The advantages to a LLC are: 1) Reduction of personal liability. A sole proprietor has unlimited liability, which can include the potential loss of all personal assets. 2) Taxes. Forming an LLC may mean that more expenses can be considered business expenses and be deducted from the company’s income. 3) Improved credibility. The business may have increased credibility in the business world compared to a sole proprietorship. 4) Ability to attract investment. Corporations, even LLCs, can raise capital through the sale of equity. 5) Continuous life. Sole proprietorships have a limited life, while corporations have a potentially perpetual life. 6) Transfer of ownership. It is easier to transfer ownership in a corporation through the sale of stock. The biggest disadvantage is the potential cost, although the cost of forming a LLC can be relatively small. There are also other potential costs, including more expansive record-keeping. 2. Forming a corporation has the same advantages as forming a LLC, but the costs are likely to be higher. 3. As a small company, changing to a LLC is probably the most advantageous decision at the current time. If the company grows, and Doc and Lyn are willing to sell more equity ownership, the company can reorganize as a corporation at a later date. Additionally, forming a LLC is likely to...

Gaussian kernel smoothing, which weights neighboring observations according to their 3D Euclidean distance, has been widely used in 3D brain images to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. When the observations lie on a convoluted brain surface, however, it is more natural to assign the weights based on the geodesic distance along the surface. We therefore develop a framework for geodesic distance-based kernel smoothing and ...

...ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY Y U K O A O YA M A J A M E S T. M U R P H Y SUSAN HANSON KEY CONCEPTS IN key concepts in economic geography The Key Concepts in Human Geography series is intended to provide a set of companion texts for the core fields of the discipline. To date, students and academics have been relatively poorly served with regards to detailed discussions of the key concepts that geographers use to think about and understand the world. Dictionary entries are usually terse and restricted in their depth of explanation. Student textbooks tend to provide broad overviews of particular topics or the philosophy of Human Geography, but rarely provide a detailed overview of particular concepts, their premises, development over time and empirical use. Research monographs most often focus on particular issues and a limited number of concepts at a very advanced level, so do not offer an expansive and accessible overview of the variety of concepts in use within a subdiscipline. The Key Concepts in Human Geography series seeks to fill this gap, providing detailed description and discussion of the concepts that are at the heart of theoretical and empirical research in contemporary Human Geography. Each book consists of an introductory chapter that outlines the major conceptual developments over time along with approximately twenty-five entries on the core concepts that constitute the theoretical toolkit of geographers working within a specific subdiscipline. Each entry provides...
