By: Ferlie Meh M. Riola


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
 Able to apply OHS laws
 Identify the tools and equipment devices needed

 To know the different types of computers

 Assemble computer hardware with establish procedures


and system requirements
LEARNING CONTENTS:
 Occupational Health and Safety Laws
 Identify tools and materials and its uses

 Types of Computer

 Component Hardware parts of computer

 Safety handling of computer parts

 Computer assemble procedures


OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
LAWS
 It is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting
the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work.
 The goal of OHS programs is to foster a safe work
environment.
 It may also protect co-workers, family members, employers,
customers, suppliers, nearby communities and other member
of the public who impacted by the workplace environment.
PRECAUTION MEASURES
 Steps before working with any computer equipment:
1. WORKPLACE/LOCATION – make sure you are working
in a risk free environment. Risk-free - Hazard-free, dirt-
free, away from fire and children, air-conditioned, well
ventilated and closed-area.
2. ATTIRE – don’t wear uncomfortable or inappropriate
articles of clothing or clothes that limit your amount of
movement.
3. Make sure that all the component/equipment (includes
your hands) must be DRY.
4. When installing/removing hardware components or doing
anything that involves opening the system unit case, it is
advisable to TURN the computer OFF before working.
5. When installing software, make sure that there is NO problem
with the electrical current at the moment.
6. External cooling devices/equipment’s (such as air-
conditioning unit) should NOT compromise the health of the
worker.
7. AVOID unnecessary disturbances when working.
8. Some hardware parts are sharp. Keep on eye out on them and
AVOID getting wounded.
9. AVOID too much exposure to the monitor screen.
10. Make sure the worker/student technician is in HEALTHY working
CONDITION in the first place.
11. DO NOT spill food or liquids on your system components.
12. When you attempt to touch components while power is on, try to put
an electrical conductor to AVOID electric shock.
13. To help PROTECT your system components from sudden transient
(passing through) increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge
suppressor, line conditioner, or Interruptible Power Supply (UPS).
14. DO NOT connect or use a modem or telephone during a lightning
storm. There may be risk of electrical shock from lightning.
15. NEVER connect or use a modem on telephone in a wet environment.
Disconnect the modem cable before opening a product enclosure,
touching or installing internal components.
IDENTIFY TOOLS AND MATERIALS
AND ITS USES
 Four categories of Hardware Tools:
 ESD tools

 Hand Tools

 Cleaning Tools

 Diagnostic Tools
ESD TOOLS

 Antistatic wrist strap


 protect computer equipment when grounded to a computer chassis.

 Antistatic mat
 protect computer equipment by preventing static electricity from
accumulating on the hardware or on the technician.
HAND TOOLS
 Flat-head screwdriver
 Used to tighten or loosen slotted screws.
 Phillips-head screwdriver
 Used to tighten or loosen cross-headed screws.
 Torx screwdriver
 Used to tighten or loosen screws that have a star-like depression on the
top, a feature that is mainly found on laptops.
 Hex driver
 Used to tighten or loosen nuts in the same way that a screwdriver
tightens or loosens screws (sometimes called a nut driver).
 Needle-nose pliers
 Used to hold small parts.
 Wire cutters
 Used to strip and cut wires.
 Tweezers
 Used to manipulate small parts.
 Part retriever
 Used to retrieve parts from locations that are too small for your hand to
fit.
 Flashlight
 Used to light up areas that you cannot see well.
 Wire stripper
 A wire stripper is used to remove the insulation from wire so that it can
be twisted to other wires or crimped to connectors to make a cable.
 Crimper
 Used to attach connectors to wires.
 Punch-down tool
 Used to terminate wire into termination blocks. Some cable connectors
must be connected to cables using a punch down tool.
CLEANING TOOLS
 Soft cloth
 Used to clean different computer components without scratching or
leaving debris.

 Compressed air
 Used to blow away dust and debris from different computer parts
without touching the components.
 Cable ties
 Used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a computer.

 Parts organizer
 Used to hold screws, jumpers, fasteners, and other small parts and
prevents them from getting mixed together.
DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

 Digital multimeter
 is a device that can take many types of measurements. It tests
the integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in
computer components. A digital multimeter displays the
information on an LCD or LED.
 Loopback adapter
 also called a loopback plug, tests the basic functionality of computer ports.
The adapter is specific to the port that you want to test.

 Toner probe
 generates a tone that travels the length of the cable. The probe part traces the
cable. When the probe is in near proximity to the cable to which the toner is
attached, the tone can be heard through a speaker in the probe.
TYPES OF COMPUTERS

 Desktop

 Laptop or Notebook

 Netbook

 Workstation

 Personal Digital Assistant

COMPONENT HARDWARE PARTS OF THE
COMPUTER
 Computer case
 The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main
components of the computer.

 Monitor
 The monitor works with a video card, located inside the computer case, to
display images and text on the screen.
 Power Cord
 The power cord is the link between the power outlet and the power
supply unit in the computer casing. If the power cord is not plugged in,
the computer will not power on.

 Keyboard
 The keyboard is one of the primary ways we communicate with the
computer and enter data.
 Mouse
 The mouse is a peripheral that is known as a pointing device. It lets you
point to objects on the screen, click on them, and move them.

 Motherboard
 The motherboard is a printed circuit board that is the foundation of a
computer, located at the bottom of the computer case.
 RAM
 Random Access Memory (RAM) is a computer storage location that
allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random
locations within DRAM on a memory module.

 Hard drive
 Is a permanent Storage Device. Internal hard disks reside in a drive
bay and connect to the motherboard using an ATA, SCSI, or SATA
cable, and are powered by a connection to the PSU (power supply
unit).
 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
 referred to as the brain of the computer, processor, central processor, or
microprocessor, the CPU (pronounced as C-P-U).

 Power Supply Unit (PSU)


 The PSU is an internal hardware component used to supply the
components in a computer with power by converting.
 Optical Disc
 referred to as optical media and optical storage, an optical disc drive
(ODD) or optical disk is any storage media that holds content in digital
format and is read using a laser assembly is considered optical media.
SAFETY HANDLING OF COMPUTER PARTS
 Correct handling of computer part is necessary to avoid damages. There
are parts of the computer that needs extra care in holding it. These are
the components parts of the computer that we need to handle carefully
 
 CPU. Hold the processor through their edge. Avoid touching the center part,
the pins or the pin less.
 
 RAM. Hold it in the edge part by splitting your fingers. Avoid touching the
RAM gold, RAM chips parts.
 
 HDD. Just handle the HDD in any part except the motherboard.
 
 Motherboard. Take good care in holding the motherboard because there are
sharp parts of it that might hurt you. Hold it at the edge part. Avoid holding in
any part of it because it sensitive and it can damage our static current.
