Step 2: Now that you have learned some of the relevant specifications, the next step is to practice
removing and installing the sound card:
A. What type of slot does the sound card use?
a. Built into the Motherboard. It Is an AMD High Definition with a Realtek
chipset.
B. What sort of internal connectors does the card have?
a. Not Applicable due to it being built into the motherboard.
C. What sort of external connectors does it have?
a. Built into the motherboard, but still supports analog input/output.
Step 5:
1. Is the speaker plugged into a working AC outlet or have batteries?
A. Working AC outlet.
2. Is there a volume adjustment knob on your speakers?
a. Yes.
Step 7: Now suppose that your sound system is working, but your speakers are a little rough. Are
they “blown” out because they were overdriven with poor adjustments? You can go to Eminent
Technology’s Multimedia Speaker Test web site and test the response of your speakers at different
frequencies. www.eminent-tech.com/music/multimediatest.html
These tests will help you confirm whether your speakers can still handle all of the
frequencies they are designed to handle. Note any speaker issues you discovered:
A. No issues found.

Step 2:
Inspect the optical drive. Look at the front of the drive. Do you see a tiny hole near the
edge of the tray door?
A. Yes
You can straighten out a paperclip and push it into this hole to release the tray. This is
handy in case you accidentally leave a disc in the drive when you remove it from the system. Go
ahead and push a straightened out paper clip into the hold to eject the tray.
Look at the back of the drive. You should see several areas for connections:
 The Molex or SATA power connection
 The connection for the PATA or SATA cable
 An audio connection for a cable to the sound card
 Jumper settings: master, slave, and cable select (PATA only)

Step 3:
Reinstall the optical drive into your system. It can be a master drive or a slave drive, depending on
what other PATA devices are installed.
Now answer the following questions:
 Did you fasten the drive using the correct screws?
o Yes
 Is the master/slave jumper set correctly?
o Yes
 Is the PATA/SATA cable connected properly?
o Yes
  Is the power plug fully inserted?
o Yes
 Is the audio cable connected to the drive?
o Yes
