Clock Battery
The battery powers a chip called the Real Time Clock,
which makes sure the clock always has the correct time and date.
The CPU

in programs and other such files.
Fan

connectted to the CPU and escorts it out of the computer
Hard Drive
Hard drives store system information and well as program files
Motherboard
All other components and peripherals plug into it,
and the job of the motherboard is to relay information between them all.

Today we learned about the inside of the server the specific parts. First we plugged in the cords
into the server and screen and turned it on to make sure it worked, after the startup test was succesful we unplugged
everything and began the dissasembly. We removed the screws and exposed the insides, the plugs, cables, motherboard,
harddrive, and diskdrive. I went through and removed the cables that were able to be removed without harming the
computer motherboard, and pushed them aside. I then removed the ram cards and looked at the insides. I debated
about removing the heatsinks, I didnt even try to remove the copper one, it was much bigger and was screwed down.
Now the other silver looking one was held down by four clamps so i removed it and then quickly put it back later
remembering I was not supposed to move it.We skimed around finding the plugs we could and could not remove, then we went
to plug it all back in, at first forgetting where some plugs went we put it together and turned it on. When the
screen didn't turn on we looked around and saw one plug not in, we quickly put it back and booted up the server,
being a complete success we closed it back up, powered it down, and put it away.
