Completing System Configuration
Once the motherboard is installed in the system housing, you can proceed to connect or install whatever internal devices you will use to complete the system. These will at least include an AGP display card and disk drives and connecting the housing power supply leads.
After that, having replaced the system housing cover, you can connect external peripherals to complete the process of preparing the system for use. These will include at least a video display and a keyboard and probably a pointing device. Please see the next chapter for information on completing these final hardware installation steps and installing Operating System and support software.
