LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Planning and Preparing Computer Hardware Assembly
Background Information for Learners:
After reading this information, you must be able to identify and apply OHS policies
and procedures in Computer Systems Servicing.
Occupational Health and Safety Policy
The occupational safety and health policy define the goals for the occupational health
and safety work in the workplace and for activities that promote the working capacity of the
staff. The policy also describes occupational health and safety responsibilities and the way of
organizing the cooperation measures. The preparation of the occupational safety and health
policy is based on the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The policy is employer-specific
and applies to all employers.
Safety practices should be learned early and always adhered to when working with
any electrical device, including personal computers and peripherals. This is for the protection
of not only the people working with them, but also for the devices themselves. The basis for
this process begins with your Occupational Health and Safety Policies.

Personal Safety While Working Along with PC’s

While working inside your computer, do not attempt to service the computer except
as explained in this guide and elsewhere in the product documentation. Always follow the
instructions closely.
Computer equipment can be dangerous, and you or others can be injured or even killed
if you do not follow proper safety guidelines when working along PC’s. The following are
some precautionary measures to take before working with any computer equipment:
Before you start to work on the computer, perform the following steps in the sequence
indicated:
1. Turn off the computer and all peripherals.
2. Touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis, such as the metal around the
card-slot openings at the back of your computer, before touching anything inside your
computer.
3. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their electrical outlets. Doing so reduces
the potential for personal injury or shock. Also, disconnect any telephone or
telecommunication lines from the computer. Note that before disconnecting a
peripheral from the system or removing a component from the system board, verify that
the standby power light-emitting diode (LED) on the system board has turned off.

1
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer
chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.

Also, it is recommended that you periodically review the safety instructions in your
System Information Guide.

Occupational Health and Safety Policies and Procedures

OHS or Occupational Health and Safety refers to the legislation, policies, procedures,
and activities that aim to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all people at the workplace.
1. Do not work alone so that there is someone who can take care of you in case of
emergency.
2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer before working on it.
3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid getting electrocuted or
accidentally damaging computer parts.
4. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit.
5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer.
6. Do not use excessive force if things do not quite slip into place.
7. Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and prevent accidents.
8. Hold the components on the edges and do not touch the Integrated Circuit (IC) parts.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the organization's
OHS procedures and practices.
10. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.
11. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire and other emergencies are
recognized.
12. Use brush, compressed air or blower in cleaning the computer system.
13. Wear shoes with non-conductive rubber soles to help reduce the chance of being
shocked or seriously injured in an electrical accident.
14. Do not work on components that are plugged into their power source.
15. Do not remove expansion cards from a computer when it is turned on.
16. Remove all jewelry when working inside any computer related equipment.
17. Be sure not to mix electronic components and water.
18. When you shut down your computer, be sure to shut it down properly.
19. Do not turn it off with the case switch.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Identifying and Obtaining Materials Necessary in Computer
Hardware Assembly
Background Information for Learners:

After reading this information, you must be able to identify the Basic Terms,
Concepts, Functions, and Characteristics of PC Hardware Components.
Types of Computer Systems
IMAGE
DESCRIPTION
1. A workstation is a high-end personal computer
designed for technical or scientific applications.
Intended primarily to be used by one person at a
time, they are commonly connected to a local area
network and run multi-user operating systems.

2. Desktop computers come in a variety of styles

ranging from large vertical tower cases to small form
factor models and usually intended to have the
display screen placed on top to save space on the
desktop. Most modern desktop computers have
separate screens and keyboards

3. Nettop is a subtype of desktop that was introduced

by Intel in February 2008 and described as low-cost,
lean-function desktop computers.

4. A laptop computer is sometimes called a notebook

computer, it usually comes in small size and
designed for portability.

7
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
5. Netbooks are mini notebooks that are rapidly
evolving category of small, light, and inexpensive
laptop computers suited for general computing and
accessing web-based applications. These are often
marketed as "companion devices," that augment a
user's other computer access.

6. A tablet PC is a notebook or slate-shaped mobile

computer that was first introduced by Pen computing
in the early 90s with their Peng Tablet Computer and
popularized by Microsoft. Its touchscreen allows the
user to operate the computer with a stylus or digital
pen, or a fingertip, instead of a keyboard or mouse.

7. The ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) is a small form

factor of tablet PCs that was developed by
Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung. It typically features
the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or
Linux operating system and low-voltage Intel Atom
or VIA C7-M processors.
8. A home theater PC (HTPC) is a convergence
device that combines the functions of a personal
computer and a digital video recorder. It is
connected to a television or a television-sized
computer display and is often used as a digital photo,
music, video player, TV receiver and digital video
recorder.
9. All-in-one PC also known as all-in-one desktops,
integrate the computer case and system components
into the monitor so that the entire PC is contained all
in one unit. All-in-one (AIO) desktop PCs offer the
advantage of a smaller form factor than desktop PCs,
but they often come with several drawbacks as well,
including higher cost, weaker performance, and
limited upgrade options.
The all-in-one computer design debuted with the
Apple iMac in 1998. While the early all-in-one PC
computers were expensive and bulky, all-in-one PCs
have become much slimmer, lighter, and cheaper
with the advent of LCD monitors and smaller, less
expensive desktop system components.
10. A pocket PC is a hardware specification for a
handheld-sized computer (personal digital assistant)
that runs the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating
system. It may have the capability to run an
alternative operating system like NetBSD or Linux.
It has many of the capabilities of modern desktop
PCs.

they do require power to perform read
and write functions during usage.
Although flash memory has dropped in
cost, the prevailing form of mass storage
in personal computers is still the hard
disk.
Video Card
The video card - otherwise called a graphics
card, graphics adapter or video adapter -
processes and renders the graphics output
from the computer to the computer display,
and is an essential part of the modern
computer.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 5

Performing Bios Configuration in Accordance with
Hardware Requirements
Background Information for Learners:
BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program a personal
computer's microprocessor uses to get the computer system started after you turn it on.
It also manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached
devices such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse and printer.
BIOS is an integral part of your computer and comes with it when you bring it
home. (In contrast, the operating system can either be pre-installed by the
manufacturer or vendor or installed by the user.) BIOS is a program that is made
accessible to the microprocessor on an erasable programmable read-only memory
(EPROM) chip. When you turn on your computer, the microprocessor passes control
to the BIOS program, which is always located at the same place on EPROM.
When BIOS boots up (starts up) your computer, it first determines whether all
of the attachments are in place and operational and then it loads the operating system
(or key parts of it) into your computer's random access memory (RAM) from your
hard disk or diskette drive.
With BIOS, your operating system and its applications are freed from having
to understand exact details (such as hardware addresses) about the attached
input/output devices. When device details change, only the BIOS program needs to be
changed. Sometimes this change can be made during your system setup. In any case,
neither your operating system or any applications you use need to be changed.
Although BIOS is theoretically always the intermediary between the
microprocessor and I/O device control information and data flow, in some cases, BIOS
can arrange for data to flow directly to memory from devices (such as video cards)
that require faster data flow to be effective.

Configuring BIOS
In the previous list, you saw that the BIOS checks the CMOS Setup for custom
settings. Here is what you do to change those settings.
To enter the CMOS Setup, you must press a certain key or combination of keys
during the initial startup sequence. Most systems use "Esc," "Del," "F1," "F2," "Ctrl-
Esc" or "Ctrl-Alt-Esc" to enter setup. There is usually a line of text at the bottom of
the display that tells you "Press Setup to enter." Once you have entered setup, you will

36
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
see a set of text screens with number of options. Some of these are standard, while
others vary according to the BIOS manufacturer. Common options include:
• System Time/Date - Set the system time and date
• Boot Sequence - The order that BIOS will try to load the operating
system
• Plug and Play - A standard for auto-detecting connected devices;
should be set to "Yes" if your computer and operating system both
support it
• Mouse/Keyboard - "Enable Num Lock," "Enable the Keyboard,"
"Auto-Detect Mouse"...
• Drive Configuration - Configure hard drives, CD-ROM, and floppy
drives
• Memory - Direct the BIOS to shadow to a specific memory address
• Security - Set a password for accessing the computer
• Power Management - Select whether to use power management, as well
as set the amount of time for standby and suspend
• Exit - Save your changes, discard your change, or restore default
settings
Be very careful when making changes to setup. Incorrect settings may keep
your computer from booting. When you are finished with your changes, you should
choose "Save Changes" and exit. The BIOS will then restart your computer so that
the new settings take effect.
The BIOS uses CMOS technology to save any changes made to the computer's
settings. With this technology, a small lithium or Ni-Cad battery can supply enough
power to keep the data for years. In fact, some of the newer chips have a 10-year, tiny
lithium battery built right into the CMOS chip.

Creating Portable Bootable Devices in Accordance with
Software Manufacturer Instruction
Background Information for Learners:
After reading this learning activity sheet, YOU MUST be able to be familiar
and use the Portable Bootable Devices properly.
Portable Bootable Devices
A live USB is a USB flash drive or a USB external hard disk drive
containing a full operating system that can be booted. Live USBs are closely related
to live CDs, but sometimes have the ability to persistently save settings and
permanently install software packages back onto the USB device. Like live CDs, live
USBs can be used in embedded systems for system administration, data recovery,
or the testing of operating system distributions without committing to a permanent
installation on the local hard disk drive. Many operating systems including Mac
OS 9, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows XP Embedded and many of the Linux and
BSD distributions can also be used from a USB flash drive. Windows 8 is also
capable of running from a USB drive, with Windows To Go.
How to Make a USB Bootable
Have an old USB drive lying around that you don't use anymore? Turn it into
an operating install disk for Windows, Linux or Mac, or a diagnostic tool for your PC.
Warning: All data on the USB flash drive will be lost, make sure you save any
data before proceeding.

• /h - Copies hidden and system files.
• /f - Displays full source and destination filenames while copying.
• To display the full list of switches, type copy /? <enter>
This will make the USB drive bootable and when selected at start up, will boot
straight into the Windows installation.

42
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
Another procedure for copying files is in file explorer
Copy the operating system. Once the USB drive has been made bootable, you
can copy over the installation files for the operating system you want to install. You
can do this by dragging and dropping using your preferred file manager/explorer.
Note: You can also create a bootable USB Drive using a third-party software.
Copy over any drivers you might need during the operating system installation to
make the process much smoother. You can also create a bootable USB Drive using a
third-party software.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Preparing Customized Installers in Accordance with
Software Utilization Guide and End User Agreement
Background Information for Learners:
After reading this Learning Activity Sheet, YOU MUST be able to be familiar
and create customized installers properly.
Installer
An installer is a piece of software that is used to
install software programs on a system. An installer is a way
to simplify the process of installing software by providing the
user with a step-by-step process with the ability to select the
desired options.

Useful Software Programs for Windows Users:

Good Antivirus
A good antivirus software is a must for PCs to safeguard them from harmful
threats, trojans, malware, spyware, ransomware etc.
Below I listed some of the best antivirus programs.
- Kaspersky - Bit Defender
- Norton Internet Security - MacAfee
- AVG Antivirus - Panda
- Avira - ESET

47
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
VLC Media Player
Listening to songs and watching movies is one of the most
important things we do in our PC. So, we need a good media
player which can play almost all formats of audio and video files.
So VLC Media Player comes 2nd in the list.

Registry Cleaners/Tune up Utilities: -

You need an all-in-one software which cleans registry
errors and junk files from your PC and makes your PC run
smooth and fast. For this I would recommend Tune-up Utilities,
Unable Power Suite or Cleaner.
I suggest you get one of those three programs and run
them when you start using your PC. I guarantee you that your
PC will run like a dream using these utilities.

Image Burner (Nero): -

Nero is the best software if you want to burn any type of
CD or DVD, but Nero is not free so I recommend Imp Burner
which is very much similar to Nero but you can get it for free.

Firefox and Google Chrome

These are the two leading browsers right now that I

recommend you get.
Mozilla Firefox is the best browser ever made for its
multi-functional use. Google Chrome is the fastest and safest
browser. It’s a good idea to have at least 2 browsers installed,
in case something doesn’t work or display right with one browser,
you can test it using the other one.

MS Office / Open Office

We can’t imagine a business without MS Office. Right from student to a
business man, it’s a must have software, but it’s not for free so I recommend you
use Open Office which is very much similar to MS office with the added bonus that it
is free.

48
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
Adobe Reader

If you want to read eBooks and pdf documents, then it’s a

must software for you.

Seven (7) Zip

This is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to
place groups of files within compressed containers known as
"archives"

Internet Download Manager:

IDM is a must have software for PC as it increases our overall
download speed by 5 times.

uTorrent
uTorrent is a light weight and very efficient torrent client.

Adobe Photoshop/GIMP
Adobe Photoshop is a great software for editing photos, but it’s
sadly not for free, I have an alternative for this called GIMP, which
is free and very similar to Adobe Photoshop. It can also be sued to
make gifs for whoever is interested.

Reva Uninstaller
Reva Uninstaller is a freeware innovative uninstall utility
much faster than Windows Add/Remove applet. With its advanced
and fast algorithm, Reva Uninstaller performs a scan before and after
you uninstall an application.

Adobe Flash Player

This is a must software if you want to watch flash videos on
your computer.

Malware Bytes: -
Malware Bytes is a tool that quarantines and removes malicious
and infected files on your Personal Computer, and it can optimize your
PC’s performance.

Zone Alarm Firewall:

Zone Alarm is a cutting- e d g e firewall security option which
blocks dangerous sites and downloads. Zone Alarm comes with a ‘Two-
way firewall’ which keeps track of all incoming and outgoing traffic
protecting you from hackers and other intruders.

49
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
Team Viewer
Team Viewer is the best software for remote desktop viewing.
You can share your desktop from anywhere in this world with this
software.

Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free source and one of the best text editors for
several programming languages under the Windows environment.

Folder Lock
Folder locker allows you to store all your files with a protected
password.

Sandboxes
This is a must have software for virus testers. If you
download any application from internet just run it in Sandboxes to
check whether it’s infected or not.

Key scrambler
In this world of the internet, you can’t always know when a
keylogger gets installed on your PC and makes you lose your
confidential passwords. Key scrambler software scrambles your keys
and helps to stay safe even if a keylogger gets installed somehow.

WinRAR
-is a 32-bit / 64-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, the powerful
archiver and archive manager.

File Opener
File Opener is a software which can open different formats of
files. This software can fulfill the need of 10 other programs for
opening files.

VMWARE WORKSTATION
VMware helps us in installing
multiple Operating Systems over one
single Operating System. Puzzled?
Well, to simplify things, VMware
allows us to run multiple Operating
Systems (called slaves) on our
computer. Say you are having Windows
7 installed on your computer as the
main Operating System. VMware runs
as an application on Windows 7 and allows us to install other Operating Systems like
50
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
Windows XP, Linux and 20 other types of Operating Systems. So, you do not need to
boot your computer to change your OS. One VMware Workstation can
accommodate 20 such OSes.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Carrying Out Installation of Portable Applications in
Accordance with Software User Guide and Software
License

Background Information for Learners:

After reading this Learning Activity Sheet, YOU MUST be able to carry out
installation of portable application in accordance with software user guide and
software license.
Portable Application
A portable application (portable app), sometimes also called standalone, is
a program designed to read and write its configuration settings into an accessible
folder in the computer, usually in the folder where the portable application can be
found. This makes it easier to transfer the program with the user's preferences and data
between different computers. A program that does not have any configuration options
can also be a portable application.
Portable applications can be stored on any data storage device, including
internal mass storage, a file share, cloud storage or external storage such as USB
drives and floppy disks—storing its program files and any configuration information
and data on the storage medium alone. If no configuration information is required a
portable program can be run from read-only storage such as CD-ROMs and DVD-
ROMs. Some applications are available in both installable and portable versions.
There are a few different reasons you might want to use a portable app, which
is software that can run on a computer without being installed.
First, if you often switch back and forth between your work and home
computer, you can transfer a portable app via USB flash device, portable hard drive,
or the cloud from one computer to another. This enables you to work on projects from
different devices at your leisure.
Second, the portable app leaves no trace when you remove it, making it handy
when you are using a public computer but do not want information stored there long-
term. Plus, you can use a portable app on a PC with restricted user permissions, so you
will have no problem getting your work done anywhere.

55
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
And, lastly, installed programs take up space on your computer, which could
potentially cause it to run slower. By using portable apps, you’re clearing up space on
your computer and enabling every bit of your downloaded software to run faster.
Creating a portable application using Winrar
The example application I’m going to make portable is Audacity, an open source
audio editing program. You can download your own file or follow along using Audacity
(recommended for your first time) before you try this method on your own applications.

Step 1: Download the application setup file

If you are following along, download the Audacity installation file. Make sure this
download is relatively isolated or things will get confusing later.

Step 2: Download Universal Extractor and WinRAR

Download Universal Extractor and a program such as WinRAR. Install both
programs–we need both to make this work. Make sure you allow both programs to associate
with their respective file-types and restart the computer if prompted–better safe than sorry.
I did not need to restart, but it could not hurt.
Step 3: UniExtract the Setup file
Right click your downloaded setup file (in my case, it’s Audacity) and click
“UniExtract here”. Go ahead and specify a folder that you would like to extract the setup
file to. A folder will be created with the extracted files inside. Open up that folder for the
next step.

Step 4: Find the EXE file that runs the program

In that extracted folder, look for the .exe file that runs the program. It’s pretty easy
to spot and usually has the same name as the program you’re trying to install. For instance,
in my case, the .exe is named “audacity.exe”. Double click the file and verify that it runs the
program successfully.

56
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
Step 5: Pack all the files into an archive
Highlight every file in that folder, right click on them, and click “Add to archive” in
the contextual menu.

In the resulting dialogue box, name your archive “Audacity Portable” or whatever
you prefer. Under compression method, select “Best”, and be sure to check “Create SFX
archive”.

Next, click the ‘Advanced’ tab and click “SFX Options…”. In “Run after
extraction” field, input the name of the .exe file that you located in Step 4. In my case, the
name was “audacity.exe”.

57
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
Head on over to the ‘Modes’ tab and select “Unpack to temporary folder” and “Hide
all”

Lastly, go to the ‘Update’ tab and select “Overwrite all files”. Now go ahead and hit
OK, and watch WinRAR generate an application file.

Step 6: Copy the file to your USB drive

This step is pretty self-explanatory. Drag the application to your USB drive
(wherever you want it to be) and then give it a test run! Double click the application to run
it–on any Windows machine! This version of Audacity is Windows only.

Different Portable Apps

Portable Apps for Chrome
1. Google Chrome Portable (Web Browser)
If you use Chrome already, the portable version is identical -- it links to your
Google account, offers bookmarks, and supports extensions. Plus, Chrome offers built-
in malware protection and auto-updates, so it’s a secure choice for browsing the web,
checking emails, or anything else you might need to do.

Portable Apps for Firefox

2. Mozilla Firefox Portable (Web Browser)
Mozilla Firefox Portable is identical in function to its non-portable alternative.
The portable app employs pop-up blocking and automatic updates, so it’s secure. Plus,
Firefox Portable ensures your bookmarks and extensions are saved, so wherever you
take your portable app, you take those with you.

Portable Apps for Linux

3. LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio) Portable (Media Player)
Music creation and production software takes up a lot of hard drive space --
LMMS is the portable alternative, allowing you to create melodies and beats, mix
sounds, and edit and add effects to your samples. It also offers instrument and effect
plugins. LMMS is open source and compatible with many standards, including
SoundFont2, VST(i), LADSPA, GUS Patches, and MIDI.

58
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
4. Apache OpenOffice Portable (Office Suite)
Apache OpenOffice app, which is also available for Windows, is one of the
most impressive alternatives to the Office suite, offering a word processor, spreadsheet,
presentation tool, and more. It supports many different languages including Chinese,
French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Best of all, it’s free, so you save
money by using it instead of the Office alternative.
5. Stickies Portable (Stickie Notes)
I’m willing to bet you already know the usefulness of sticky notes, either virtual
or physical -- when you need a quick reminder or to jot down some random thoughts,
they can’t be beat. The Portable version supplies sticky notes that can store text and
images, and you can attach a sticky note to a website or document so you can minimize
them until you need it.
Portable Apps for Mac
6. VLC Media Player Portable (Media Player)
VLC is one of the most popular media players around, largely due to its ability
to play almost any audio or video format, including WMV, MPEG-1, DivX, ogg, as
well as DVDs. Since it can handle files from almost any location, including local drives,
network storage, and streams, it’s a good idea to download the portable app for any
time you’re having trouble displaying an audio or video file on your computer. This
app is also available for Windows.
7. XMind (Mindmapping Tool)
XMind offers a variety of helpful productivity and decision-making tools for
mindmapping and diagramming, including organizational charts, tree charts, and logic
charts. Along with brainstorming templates, XMind also lets you create business charts
and presentations. It has an intuitive interface and provides easy-to-use templates.
8. Gimp (Photo Editor)
One of the most comparable alternatives to Photoshop, Gimp provides an
impressive array of photo-editing tools. Since editing and exporting images takes up a
lot of storage space, you might opt for Gimp’s portable app version to edit your photos
-- plus, it’s free. You can use it to create new designs using the paint program, or simply
convert image formats. It’s also available for Windows.
9. Inkscape (Vectors Graphic Editor)
Inkscape is essentially identical in function to Adobe Illustrator, and is an
impressive free alternative. Inkscape portable offers advanced features including alpha
blending, markers, and trace bitmaps, and has an intuitive interface. If you’re a
freelance designer, it’s not a bad idea to carry Inkscape portable around on a USB, so
you’ve got the tools for for vector graphics, creating illustrations, charts, and logos at
your disposal at all times.
Portable Apps for Windows
10. LibreOffice Portable (Office Suite)
LibreOffice, a notable Office alternative, offers many of the same features as
Office including a word processor, spreadsheets, presentations, vector drawing, and
databases. It performs most of the necessary functions you’d require from Office, but
it’s free and you can carry it around with you on an external drive or via the cloud. It
supports over ten languages.

59
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
11. CCleaner Portable (Software Cleaner)
It seems contradictory to download a large software file just to clear up space
on your computer, so it makes sense you’d use CCleaner’s portable version to clean up
your files and ensure your computer’s protected from viruses. Along with clearing up
space, CCleaner cleans out cookies and files that could put your privacy at risk.
12. Foobar2000 (Audio Player)
Foobar2000 is a media player that supports most popular audio formats, and lets you
rip audio CDs, create playlists, and play natively from within the app. It also touts an
easily customizable user interface with advanced tagging capabilities and customizable
keyboard shortcuts, allowing you to customize your user experience more than you
could with iTunes or Spotify.
13. Geek Uninstaller (Software Cleaner)
If you uninstall something using Windows' add/remove button, it isn’t
completely eliminated from your computer -- there are still junk files or folders left
behind. Geek Uninstaller permanently rids your computer of unwanted files, including
any unintentional residue left over. The app also offers a “Force removal” button for
difficult-to-remove programs. Plus, since it’s portable, it doesn't contribute to clutter.
