Lesson 4 • Power Connections and First Boot
Guides students through all power connector types and the initial POST sequence. Students verify successful assembly through BIOS entry and hardware detection.
Lesson 5 • Cable Management and Case Finishing
Teaches routing, bundling, and securing cables for airflow and aesthetics. Good cable management improves thermal performance and future serviceability.
Chapter 4HideHide detailsSee detailsBIOS, Firmware, and System Configuration
BIOS, Firmware, and System Configuration
Lesson 1 • BIOS and UEFI Fundamentals
Explains the role of firmware in hardware initialisation and OS handoff. Distinguishes legacy BIOS from UEFI and their practical implications.
Lesson 2 • Navigating and Configuring UEFI Settings
Covers date/time, boot order, fan curves, and hardware monitoring menus. Students make targeted changes without disrupting system stability.
Lesson 3 • Memory and CPU Performance Settings
Introduces XMP and EXPO profiles, CPU multiplier settings, and voltage adjustments. Students apply manufacturer-rated performance profiles correctly.
Lesson 4 • Firmware Updates and Recovery
Teaches safe firmware flashing procedures and recovery from failed updates. Students minimise risk during updates and restore systems when needed.
Chapter 5HideHide detailsSee detailsOperating System Installation and Configuration
Operating System Installation and Configuration
Lesson 1 • OS Installation Procedures
Walks through bootable media creation and step-by-step OS installation. Students complete clean installs on both UEFI and legacy systems.
