terms you see and hear about computers, software, and the internet.

 OHS – Occupational Health and Safety


 LAN Card – Local area network interface card.
 Server – is a part of a network. It is a special computer that users on
the network can asses to carry out a particular job.
 Port hub /Port – is a connector on the back of a computer or other
device. A port is either a serial port or a parallel port.
 Modem - (Modulator-Demodulator) The modem is a device that allows
a given computer to share data or otherwise a device which let
computers exchange information
 USB – (Universal Serial Port)
 Scanner- it is an input device that read text or illustration printed on
paper, translates the information into a form that a computer can use.
 Printer - It is a piece of hardware that produces a paper copy (also
known as ‘hardcopy’) of the information generated by the computer.
 Flash drive – a portable storage device which is plug directly to the USB
port.
 Network – a group of computers and associated devices that are
connected by communications facilities.
 OS (Operating system) software that controls the allocation and use of

Otherwise known as the internet.
 Maintenance - is the testing and cleaning of equipment.
 Planning – is both the organizational process of creating and
maintaining a plan; and the psychological process of thinking about the
activities required to create a desired future on some scale
 Computer System - The complete computer made up of the CPU,
memory and related electronics (main cabinet), all the peripheral devices
connected to it and its operating system. Computer systems fall into two
broad divisions: clients and servers. Client machines fall into three
categories from low to high end: laptop, desktop and workstation.
Servers range from small to large: low-end servers, midrange servers and
mainframes.
 Router is a device that forwards data packets between computer
networks, creating an overlay internetwork. A router is connected to two
or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in
on one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the
packet to determine its ultimate destination. Then, using information in
its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next
network on its journey.
 Server OS- Server OSes are designed from the ground up to provide
platforms for multi-user, frequently business-critical, networked
applications. As such, the focus of such operating systems tends to be
security, stability and collaboration, rather than user interface.

Tools and Equipment for network testing

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet you must be able to identify and
categorized the different tools, and equipment needed for network testing.
Introduction:
A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal,
especially if the item is not consumed in the process. Informally the word is
also used to describe a procedure or process with a specific purpose. Tool
use by humans dates back millions of years, and other animals are also
known to employ simple tools.
Tools that are used in particular fields or activities may have different
designations such as "instrument", "utensil", "implement", "machine",
"device," or "apparatus". The set of tools needed to achieve a goal is
"equipment". The knowledge of constructing, obtaining and using tools
is technology.

TOOLS and INSTRUMENTS

A screwdriver is a tool, manual or


powered, for turning (driving or
removing) screws.

Pliers are used to hold objects, NOT


to loosen or tighten nuts. They can
also be used to twist wires together
as in electrical connections.

Disassemble and Assemble Computer Units


Job Sheet 4. 3-1

Title : PC Disassemble and Assemble


Direction: Given the necessary supply/ materials and equipment,
Dissemble and Assemble computer unit, install operating system and
perform trouble shooting
Performance Objectives:
Disassemble and assemble computer units
Install operating system
Perform trouble shooting procedure
Supply/materials : Screwdriver Antistatic Wrist trap
Equipment : Computer Set
Step 1: Open the Case
Open the computer case by removing the side
panels. Find the screws that hold the side
panels in place and remove them (shown in
figure 3 circled in red). The panel is removed
by first sliding it back (figure 4) then lifting it
away from the case (figure 5).
Warning: Case may have sharp edges.
Handle with care to avoid injury.

Step 2: Prepare the Case for Assembly

Three things need to be done before assembly


begins:

• Remove any parts or packaging materials that


may have been shipped inside the case (figure
6).
• Remove the cover for the optical drive. On our
case, we will be removing the cover on the
highest drive bay to mount our DVD drive as
shown in figure 7. Do this by pressing in the
retaining tabs shown in figure 8.
• Make note of the cables pre-installed in the
case. These should be front panel connections for features such as the power
switch, audio jacks and usb ports. If they are not labeled, consult the
manufacturer’s documentation and label them yourself now before other
parts are installed in the case (figure 8).

Step 5: Ground Yourself

Put the grounding strap on your wrist (Figure 10) and connect the other end
to the computer case. If your strap is not equipped with a clip to hook to the
case, find a place to wedge against the metal as shown in figure 11. This will
prevent any buildup of static electricity on your body from damaging the
computer components.
Caution:Static electricity can ruin computer components. Always wear a
grounding strap when handling any internal components.

Step 6: Install
Motherboard
To install the motherboard we
need parts that should have
been included with your
purchased components:

• I/O Bezel is a trim panel


installed in the back of the case that surrounds the interface ports on the
motherboard. It should be included with the motherboard. Figure 12 shows
the contents of the motherboard box.
• Standoffs are installed in the case screw holes to create a riser that
separates the case and motherboard. The screws install into the standoffs as
shown in figure 13. Screws and standoffs should be included with the case,
but it is a good idea to order these items just in case they aren't included.

Follow these steps to install the motherboard in the case:

1. Install the I/O bezel plate into the opening in the back of the case (figure
14). It pushes in from the inside.
2. Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw into the motherboard
mounting holes shown in figure 14. Check the screw hole locations on the
motherboard for exact placement.
3. Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O bezel.
4. Install the screws.

Figure 15 shows the motherboard installed in the case. It works best to leave
the screws loose until all of them have been started and the board is aligned
with the bezel.

Caution: To prevent damage to the motherboard it must only contact the


standoffs and screws. All of the standoffs and screws must be installed.
Step 7: Install Hard Drive

The hard drive is the device that stores all of your data. It is 3.5" wide and
needs to be mounted so that you can gain access to the cable connections
on the back (figure 16). If that is not possible you may need to connect
cables before you install the drive. To mount the drive:

1. Find a 3.5" drive bay to install the drive in. If you have trouble finding a
place to mount the drive consult your case documentation for
suggestions.
2. Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides are lined up
with the holes in the case.
Install the screws.

Step 8: Install Optical Drive


The optical drive is 5.25" wide and
is installed in the drive bay that we
removed the cover from in a
previous step. Cable access
considerations apply to this drive
also. To install the drive:

1. Slide the drive into the drive


bay until the screw holes are lined
up and the front of the drive is flush with the front of the case (figure
18). Make sure that it is orientated correctly.
Install the screws.

Step 9: Install the CPU

The CPU is the brain of the


computer. It is installed on the
motherboard in the socket shown
in figure 20.To install the CPU:

1. Find the corner marking


that designates pin 1 of
the CPU as shown in
figure 19. On this AMD
brand processor, the
corner is marked with an
arrow. Consult the
manufacturer's documentation for specific information
about your processor.
2. Lift the small metal rod next to the socket as shown in
figure 20.
3. Find the corresponding marking on the CPU socket and
insert the CPU so that the markings are lined up.
4. Push the rod down to lock the processor in place (figure 21).

Step 10: Install RAM

The RAM is the temporary memory location that the processor works from.
Permanently stored data is pulled from disks and stored in RAM while the
processor works with it. The memory is easy to install:

1. Set the RAM board in the socket as shown in figure 22. Check to see that
the notch in the board is in the correct location. If it is not, turn it around
180º.
2. Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into the socket. Make sure
the tabs lock into place as shown in figure 23.

Caution: Pressing the boards in when the tab is not aligned could cause
damage to the RAM boards as well as the motherboard.

Step 11: Install the


CPU Fan

The CPU fan is really a combination of


a heat sink and fan together. The unit
draws heat away from the CPU .
To install the fan:
1. Place thermal compound to the CPU following the instructions provided
with the compound.
2. Set the fan assembly on the CPU with mounting tabs aligned.
3. Pull the locking rod down on the fan assembly to lock into place.
4. Connect the fan assembly's power connector to the motherboard. Consult
the manual to determine proper placement.

Caution: Failure to apply thermal compound will result in insufficient


cooling and will cause damage to the CPU and/or motherboard.

Step 12: Install Case Fan


The case fan is usually installed
on the back panel of the case. If
the fan mount is not obvious
consult the case documentation.
To mount the fan:

1. Align the mounting holes by


holding the fan to the mounting
pad on the inside of the case as
shown in figure 25. The fan
needs to be mounted so that it
blows air out of the case.
2. Insert the screws from the outside of the case and tighten.

Step 13: Install Power Supply


Consult your case
documentation for details and
then follow these directions to
install the power supply:

1. Align the mounting holes


in the case and power supply as
shown in figure 26.
2. Insert screws and tighten.

Step 14: Connect


Cables

With all of the components


installed in the case, the jungle of
wires can be daunting. It is
important to consult the motherboard manual in order to make sure proper
connections are made. There are two kinds of connections, power and data.
• Every device that has been installed needs power. In figure 27, the power
supply connectors are shown. The motherboard has two power
connections, and there are two connectors specifically for SATA devices
(drives). The other connectors will run fans and other non-SATA devices.
• Data cables connect drives and front panel devices to the motherboard.
Please consult the motherboard documentation for the exact placement
of connectors.

Warning: Incorrect connections can damage components and cause bodily


injury.

Step 15: Wrap-up

Now that the components are completely installed, the last


thing to do is to reinstall the panels
side on the case. The
computer is now ready to be turned on and to have software
loaded on it. If the computer has problems starting up, check
all component connections and mounting to make sure that
you have hooked everything up correctly. Consult
idualindiv
component manuals for specific troubleshooting information if
problems persist.
