ANALYSIS
1. How do you find the previous activity “Unveil Me!”? Were you able to identify
which is an equipment, a tool or the testing device?
2. What did you learn about computer tools, equipments, and testing devices?
3. Why is it very important to know the different tools, equipments and testing devices
used for computers?
ABSTRACTION
When you work for assembling computer, you need to familiarize yourself to
the different tools, equipment, and testing devices.You may already know the basic
functions of screwdrivers and other basic hand tools but you’ll need to know more
about other testing devices and equipments for computers. That’s why it’s very
important that you are equipped with enough knowledge to properly use the tools you
need and remember to take it with you when you have a task to do.
Computer Tools
Anti- Static Wrist Strap. It is an anti- static device used to safely discharge the static
electricity in our body. This will prevent the static electricity to build up. This electricity
will destroy sensitive computer components specially the laptop components.
Compare to desktop computers, the laptop components
are more sensitive, you need to give extra care to
prevent it from unintentional damage.
If you are right handed person, you can put this
device in your left wrist. Make it sure that the alligator
clip in the opposite side of the device will be attached
to a ground or metal. If this device is not available,
you can hold any metal objects or simply the metal
case of your computer to discharge your static
electricity.
Soldering Iron. A tool used for melting soldering lead and applying it to metals that
are to be joined. It is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Solder
melts at approximately 185oC. Soldering iron was
designed to reach a temperature range of 200oC – 480
o
C. This tool often used for installation, repairs and
limited production work in electronics assembly.
Desoldering Tool. It is also known as soldering sucker
which is used to remove soldering lead from printed
circuitboard. This tool should not be used for live
electrical circuits.
To use this crimping tool, the connector (RJ 45 or RJ 11) is placed in both ends of
the cable. Then, the connector with wires are placed into the crimping tool, and
the handles are squeezed together. Crimping punctures the plastic connector and
holds each of the wires, allowing data to transmit through the connector.
Testing Devices
Network Switch. It is a device that connects two or more computers and other
network infrastracture. This device has multiple ports that enable network to plug
multiple network cables. It uses packet switching to receive and forward data to the
destination
device.
Server. It is a part of a computer network. It is a special computer that users on a
network can access to carry out a particular job.
