The main task an operating system carries out is the allocation of resources and services, such as allocation of: memory, devices, processors and information. The operating system also includes programs to manage these resources, such as a traffic controller, a scheduler, memory management module, I/O programs, and a file system Installing the Operating System Reasons to perform a clean installation of an OS. ✓ When a computer is passed from one employee to another ✓ When the operating system is corrupted ✓ When a new replacement hard drive is installed in a computer Before performing a clean installation: ✓ Back up all data first ✓ Explain to the customer that existing data will be erased ✓ Confirm that all needed data has been successfully transferred Hard Drive Setup Procedures Operating system setup methods: 1. Install an OS over a network from a server 2. Install from a copy of the OS files stored on the hard drive 3. Install from OS files stored on CDs or DVDs 1 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times • Hard drive must be logically divided (partitioned) Partitioning and Formatting • File system must be created on the hard drive • During the installation phase, most operating systems will automatically partition and format the hard drive Hard Drive Setup Procedures A technician should understand the process related to hard drive setup. Prepare the Hard Drive The first portion of the installation process deals with formatting and partitioning the hard drive. The second portion prepares the disk to accept the file system. The file system provides the directory structure that organizes the user's operating system, application, configuration, and data files.

The complete guide to a Windows 8 clean installation Backup your data Of course, before you get started, you should back up your data. You can use Windows 7's Backup and Restore to create a backup or you can simply copy your data files over to an external hard disk. You might even want to do both operations. After all, you really can't have too many backups, can you? Getting started After booting from the DVD installer, the first thing you encountered was the new light blue Windows logo on a black background, as shown in Figure A. This image remained on the screen for a few moments while Setup was initializing. I was kind of hoping that the flag would be animated, but the only animation was the dots spinning in a circle The new light blue Windows flag is introduced. Figure A After a few minutes, you'll see the Windows Setup screen shown in Figure B and you will specify your language settings before clicking Next. When you do, Setup will perform some more initialization tasks in the background. 4 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times The first step in the installation is to specify your language settings. Figure B As soon as the initial steps are taken care of, you'll see the Windows Setup screen shown in Figure C and will click the Install Now button. To get started, just click the Install now button. Figure C Collecting Information Once you click the Install now button, you'll see the beginning of the information collection phase of the installation procedure. As you can see in Figure D, the first step here is to input the Windows 8 product key You'll enter your product key to start the information collection phase of the installation procedure. Figure D The next step is to acknowledge that you accept the license terms, as shown in Figure E. If you take the time to read through them, you will see that Microsoft has indeed radically overhauled EULA as Ed Botti over at ZDNet wrote about in a recent column.Even if you don't take the time to read the license terms during the installation, once you have installed Windows 8, you can find the Microsoft Software License Agreement in the Windows Help and Support system - just search with the term License. Not only is the license shorter in length, but it is also much clearer and easier to read. The new EULA is much easier to read that previous versions. Figure E When you are prompted to choose which type of installation you want to perform, as shown in Figure F, you'll choose Custom: Install Windows only (advanced) type in order to perform a clean install of Windows 8. 5 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times In order to perform a clean install of Windows 8, you'll select the Custom option. Figure F When you are prompted to choose where you want to install Windows, as shown in Figure G, you'll see a list of any partitions that are currently on your hard disk. As you can see in my example system there are actually four seep arate partitions. You may have a different combination depending on your system. As I mentioned, performing a clean install means blowing away all existing partitions. The first partition in this list is labeled System Reserved and it was created automatically during the Windows 7 installation. A new System Reserved partition will be created by Windows 8, so you can remove existing one. The partition labeled Recovery contains the OEM recovery for Windows 7. I created the recovery DVDs soon after I got the new system. It won’t do me any good going forward with Windows 8 anyway, so I will remove that partition too. The partition labeled WIN7 contains the Windows 7 installation that I am replacing, so it is definitely going. The partition labeled DATA contains all of my data that I copied to an external hard disk, so it is safe to blow that one away too. On you example system there are four partitions that I will be blowing away. Figure G To begin blowing away partitions, you start by clicking Drive options (advanced). When you do so, you'll see a list of commands for managing partitions, as shown in Figure H. When you click Drive options (advanced), you'll see a list of commands for managing partitions. Figure H 6 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Now, you'll select each of the partitions, one by one, and select the Delete command. When you do, you'll see a confirmation prompt like the one shown in Figure I. Just click OK to delete the partition. As you delete each partition, you'll be prompted to confirm the operation. Figure I Once you delete each of the existing partitions, you'll see that all of the space will be combined together in one chunk labeled Unallocated Space, as shown in Figure J. While you could create a new partition and format it, you don't have to. Windows 8 will automatically take care of that in the next step. So just go ahead and click Next. All of the space will be combined together in one chunk labeled Unallocated Space. Figure J Installing Windows When you click Next, Setup creates the partition, formats it, and then instantly moves into the Installing Windows phase which begins with copying and getting files ready for the installation, as shown in Figure K. This process will take a while to progress though, so you can sit back and relax a bit. The Installing Windows stage begins with copying files from the DVD to the hard disk. Figure K When this phase of the process is complete, Windows will alert you that it is going to restart in order to continue, as shown in Figure L. If you are really impatient and really quick, you can click the Restart now button. 7 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Windows will restart after the first part of the process is complete. Figure L Upon restarting you'll see the black screen with the blue Windows logo and see that Setup is getting devices ready, as shown in Figure M. As soon as that part of the process is complete, Windows will alert you that it is going to restart again, as shown in Figure N. Windows Setup will get all installed devices ready to work with Windows 8. Figure M Windows will restart again. Figure N Configuring Windows When the system restarts, you'll be prompted to choose a color scheme for Windows 8 and a PC name, as shown in Figure O. I chose a light blue color scheme for now. I can change it later. You can choose a color schema and name your computer. Figure O When the Settings screen appears, as shown in Figure P, you can choose to customize these settings or you can allow Windows to use the express settings. If you are unsure, you can click the Learn more link and get more details. I chose to use the express settings. I can change any or all of these setting later if I want. 8 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times You can customize the settings or just go the express route. Figure P On the next screen, you'll choose how you want to sign on to Windows 8, as shown in Figure Q. While you can choose to sign in with a local account, I would recommend that you use an existing Microsoft (email) account, such as a Hotmail.com or a Live.com account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for one or you can use any email address that you want and Windows 8 will create an account for you. It will be to your advantage to use an existing Microsoft account or to create one. Figure Q The advantage of using an existing Microsoft account or creating one is that you will be able to instantly use the Windows Store, will be able to easily sync settings between multiple Windows 8 computers, and be able to easily take advantage of other Windows 8 features. I already have a Microsoft account, so I entered it here. After filling the details of your account on the next couple of screens, you'll eventually see a screen that changes color as it alerts you the Setup is getting your PC ready. The green version of this screen is show in Figure R. While this screen changes color often, it will remain for a few minutes whileSetup works in the background. Figure R As you may know, Windows 8 comes with a host of native apps for the Start screen interface that replace and add to the group of applications that used to come with previous versions of Windows. The screen shown in Figure S indicates that Setup is installing those apps. As the last step in the installation, Windows 8 installs its set of native apps. Figure S 9 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Once the apps are installed, you'll see the Start screen, as shown in Figure T, and can begin using Windows 8. The Start screen appears when the installation procedure is complete. Figure T LO 3.

These devices contain both the input devices, which are used to give command to the computer and the output devices, which help computer showing the result to the user. The computer works with many peripheral devices so it's important to know that how much these devices can be installed in the computer and how can a persona configure them. Device Drivers A device driver (commonly referred to as a driver) is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer.[1] A driver provides a software interface to hardware devices, enabling operating systems and other computer programs to access hardware functions without needing to know precise details of the hardware being used. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-systemspecific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface. Because of the diversity of modern hardware and operating systems, drivers operate in many different environments. Drivers may interface with: • • • • • printers video adapters Network cards Sound cards Local buses of various sorts—in particular, for bus mastering on modern systems 14 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times • Low-bandwidth I/O buses of various sorts (for pointing devices such as mice, keyboards, USB, etc.) Computer storage devices such as hard disk, CDROM, and floppy disk buses (ATA, SATA, SCSI) • Implementing support for different file systems • Image scanners • Digital cameras Common levels of For hardware: abstraction for device drivers • Interfacing directly include: • Writing to or reading from a device control register • Using some higher-level interface (e.g. Video BIOS) • Using another lower-level device driver (e.g. file system drivers using disk drivers) • Simulating work with hardware, while doing something entirely different • For software: • Allowing the operating system direct access to hardware resources • Implementing only primitives • Implementing an interface for non-driver software (e.g., TWAIN) • Implementing a language, sometimes quite highlevel (e.g., PostScript) So, choosing and installing the correct device drivers for given hardware is often a key component of computer system configuration To install a Plug and Play device 1. Plug the new device into the computer. 2. In the Found New Hardware dialog box choose one of the following: • Locate and install driver software. Selecting this option begins the installation process. Review the details in "Additional considerations" in this topic. • Ask me again later. The device is not installed and no configuration change is made to your computer. If the device is still plugged in the next time you log on to the computer, then this dialog box appears again. • Don't show this message again for this device. Selecting this option configures the Plug and Play service to not install the driver for this device, and does not make the device functional. To complete the installation of the device driver, you must detach the device and reattach it. To install a non-Plug and Play device 1. Open Device Manager. 2. Right-click the top node in the details pane. 3. Click Add legacy hardware. 15 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times 4. In the Add Hardware Wizard, click Next, and then follow the instructions on your screen. How to Know If My Hardware's Driver Is Installed? ➢ Click on Start ➢ Right click on My Computer ➢ Manage ➢ Device Manager. To view information about a device driver To update or change the driver used for a device 1. Open Device Manager. 1. Open Device Manager. 2. Find and right-click the specific device you want, and then click Properties. 2. Double-click the type of device you want to update or change. 3. On the Driver tab, information about the currently installed driver is displayed. 3. Right-click the device you want, and then click Update Driver. 4. Click the Details button. 4. Follow the instructions in the Update Driver Software wizard. The Driver File Details page appears with a list of the individual files that make up the driver. How Can I Install These Drivers? There are two options for this job. Manual or Automatic. In manual installation, you will have to go to the manufacturer’s official site and look for your device model whereas in automatic, you just have to click some buttons and the software will do the job. Windows have its built-in feature to update the software automatically thru Windows Update, but sometimes it doesn't do the job well. Let's try to update my Ethernet Controller thru Windows Update and see if it can get the job well done. 16 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Right Click on the device and choose Update Driver Software Choose Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows is now searching the device driver software. Windows was unable to install the device driver software. Not because Windows was unable to do the job means that you'll have to go for a manual installation. This time, we will use an open source automatic driver software installer called Driver Pack Solution. Right click on the DriverPackSolution.exe and Run as Administrator. 17 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times The program automatically detects missing hardware and will tell if it is in the database. Click the Install button It automatically creates restore point so you can rollback changes. Device drivers to be installed will be shown. Choose the drivers you want to install and click Start Installation. Once started, you'll just have to wait for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how many drivers are to be installed. 18 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Now it’s done. All drivers are installed. It is advised to restart your computer for the drivers to take effect. Go back to Device Manager and check if the drivers are installed. In my case, the two devices are now installed. So that's how you install device drivers. Although these automatic drivers’ installers are supporting most of the drivers, sometimes you might have a device which is not yet in the database, so you have to wait for the Driver pack Solution software update or you can manually install the driver:) LO 3.

After that, all the latest security and performance improvements will be installed on your PC quickly and reliably. When you turn on automatic updating, most updates will download and install without you having to lift a finger. But sometimes Windows Update will need your input during an installation. In this case, you'll see an alert in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar—be sure to click it. If you don't respond to a Windows Update alert, your PC might end up missing an important download. We recommend that you use automatic updating—but if you choose not to, be sure to check for updates at least once a week. Why do I have outdated drivers on my Windows computer? Just as with any piece of software, drivers become outdated over time. Their makers release newer versions that fix bugs or add new features. There are multiple reasons for outdated drivers on your PC. Among them: Windows itself doesn’t provide updates to all drivers. Hardware makers have to go through a rigorous acceptance process before Microsoft includes the driver in Windows Update. As a result, it could take months for a driver to arrive on your device -- and by the time it does, the manufacturer has released newer versions. Your PC or component came with old drivers with no updater is in place. For example, my Surface Book that includes a graphics chip dating from 2017 runs on drivers from mid-2017. The version number is 23.20.16.4842, when in fact the latest drivers (as of February 2019) have the version number 26.20.100.6566. 27 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times When should I update a driver? Because drivers run crucial parts of a computer, any failure makes the system unstable. As a result, drivers often are the culprit for when lots of things go wrong. Check for new drivers if: You experience problems you can’t explain otherwise. Among them might be stuttering audio or no sound, Wi-Fi and connection issues, games not running or running extremely slowly, and random system crashes. Devices won’t work at all. For example, when your USB ports don’t work, you need to update your USB drivers. When you see an exclamation mark in your Device Manager This means that Windows knows something is wrong. To look in Windows 7 and 10: Hold the WIN-KEY + R, type in devmgmt.msc, hit Enter to open Device Manager, and look for entries with an exclamation mark like this one This shows that there’s something wrong with the device. You should probably update it or install the proper drivers. Checking for and installing Windows updates, like service packs and other patches and major updates, is a necessary part of running any Windows operating system. How to Check for and Install Windows Updates Windows updates can support your Windows installation in many ways. Windows updates can solve specific problems with Windows, provide protection from malicious attacks, or even add new features to the operating system.

Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, a media player, an aeronautical flight simulator, a console game or a photo editor. The collective noun application software refers to all applications collectively. This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the computer. Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately, and may be coded as proprietary, open-source or OFFICE SUITE An office suite is a collection of bundled productivity software (a software suite) intended to be used by knowledge workers. The components are generally distributed together, have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that the operating system would not normally allow. The earliest office suite for personal computers was Starburst in the early 1980s, comprising the word processor WordStar, together with companion apps CellStar (spreadsheet) and Data Star (database). Various other suites arose in the 1980s, and over the course of the 1990s Microsoft Office came to dominate the market, a position it retains as of 2015. Typical office suite components Existing office suites contain wide range of various components. Most typically, the base components include: 34 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Word processor is an electronic device or computer software application, that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, printing of documents.

Software updates occasionally contain bug fixes and product enhancement. These updates are installed over the current installation and do not require uninstallation or re- installation of the software in question. In simple words, when you need to update a program, you don’t need to do anything other than let the updater do its thing. Keeping third-party apps up to date is nearly as important as keeping Windows itself updated. Unfortunately, how updates get installed is up to the people making those apps. Fortunately, there are some tools out there that can help you make the process a bit easier. How to Keep Third-Party Apps Up to Date Keeping Windows updated is important, but it doesn’t end there. You want to make sure your other apps are updated as well. Aside from bug fixes and new features, updating your apps ensures that you fix the inevitable security flaws that pop up in common third-party apps like Adobe Flash, Java, and so on. The hassle with keeping thirdparty apps updated is that different products require you to check for and perform updates in different ways. Third-Party Software Updates Third-party software describes any software created by a third party and did not come with your computer's operating system. This primarily includes any software you, yourself, have installed on your machine. Because third-party software is created by different people, the way you update it varies. Some Apps Have a Built-In Updater Some third-party apps, like those provided by Apple, have built-in updaters that automatically check for new updates and notify you so that you can download and install them 49 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Security software is especially important to keep updated, and most have automatic updaters for that reason. Still, it’s essential to check up on them once in a while–like before you run a manual scan–just to make sure. As an example, Windows Defender gets regular updates for virus definitions through Windows Updates but still offers the ability to check for updates manually when you open it up. For Other Apps, You’ll Need a Third-Party Tool Some other third-party apps, unfortunately, offer no built-in updating features at all, requiring you to go to the product web site to download updates or new versions yourself. They may still notify you, however. While you can always go through each of your apps individually and check for updates, that can be tedious and you likely won’t remember to update them all–at least not in a timely fashion. To save yourself some time and help ensure that all your apps get updated, you can use a utility like Patch My PC Updater or Ninite Updater, both of which run a check against apps installed on your computer and let you know what updates are available. Ninite Updater is the simplest of the tools, but costs $9.99 per year (less if you buy a family pack)–but it does all the work for you, including downloading and installing the updates. While it works very well, though, it doesn’t support as many apps as we might want—only the same 92 apps that you can install using the Ninite installer. One nice feature is that the app runs in the background if you want it to. When it detects that an app is out of date, it pops up a notification letting you know, and you can update the app with just a couple of clicks. 50 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Of the free options out there, Patch MY PC is the best. It’s not fully automatic like Ninite Updater, but it is free and it does support a lot of apps. It’s also a portable app, so you don’t even have to install it, making it ideal for including on a USB utility drive so you can update the PCs of friends and relatives. You just have to run it once in a while, let it scan your apps, and then it will tell you what needs updating. You can download and install the updates from right inside the Patch My PC window either all at once or one at a time. A software update may contain: ➢ Security Vulnerability Fixes: More than 90% of software and operating system (OS) updates are to patch security vulnerabilities in programs. A software program with a security hole in it can allow very bad things to happen to the computer. Exploiting security vulnerabilities in programs to deliver malwares a common method employed by cybercriminals. Back in April this year, we reported how a Trojan called Mal/Java Jar-B exploited a flaw in Java™ and left computers running on Windows®, Mac OS®, and Linux® vulnerable to serious attacks. ➢ Bug Fixes and Product Enhancements: Though most software updates are developed mainly to address security holes in programs, you may come across software updates with bug fixes and product enhancements to improve program’s performance. A ‘bug’ refers to unintended mistakes done by the programmer which causes the program to give unexpected results and errors. Whenever new bugs are found and reported, developers develop fixes and offer them as a part of the software update. Software Update vs. Software Upgrade The term ‘software update’ is often confused with the term ‘software upgrade’. Though both the terms sound similar, there is a huge difference. A "software update" updates your existing version of the program to the current version, but does not upgrade it to the next major version. For example, when you install Service Pack 1 on your Windows 7 computer, you are actually updating your Windows 7 computer with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 On the other hand, a “software upgrade” allow you to upgrade a program to its next major version. For example, if you are moving from Windows Vista® to Windows 7, you are actually performing a software upgrade. While a software update usually comes free, there’s usually a cost for a software upgrade. What are update versions? To categorize the different states of computer software as it's developed and released, each update has a version number (e.g., version 1.0 being the first version). When a software 51 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times program is updated, it changes the version of the program to help identify the applied fixes. Upgrade Office 2010 to 2013 Step 1: Download your copy of Office 2013 ISO file. Yes, Office 2013 setup file comes in an ISO file and you need to mount the ISO to run the setup.

Update your antivirus software Antivirus software must be updated regularly to stay effective against new viruses. Most antivirus software is designed to update automatically, but you can also update your software manually. Windows doesn't come with antivirus software, but it can often detect and monitor antivirus software that was installed by you or your computer manufacturer. The status of your antivirus software is typically displayed in Action Center. 1. Open Action Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, clicking Review your computer's status. 53 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times 2. Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section. If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection. 3. Click Update now. Note The Update now option only appears if Windows detects that your antivirus software is out of date. Not all antivirus software reports its status to Windows. If your antivirus software isn't displayed in Action Center, go to the downloads section of your antivirus software provider’s website. Find the update for your version of the software and your operating system, and then install it. For more information, check the Help for your antivirus software. Most antivirus software updates are free, but some providers charge a small fee for the updates. If you're using an older version of the software, you might also have to pay to upgrade to a more recent version to continue to receive the updates. LO 4. Install application Software.

An example of a software upgrade is upgrading your version of Windows. For example, if you had Microsoft Windows XP and upgraded to Windows 7, it would be considered a software upgrade. Software update is new, improved, or fixed software, which replaces older versions of the same software. For example, updating your operating system brings it up-to-date with the latest drivers, system utilities, and security software. Updates are often provided by the software publisher free of additional charge. 58 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (COMPUTER SYSTEMS SERVICING) Name of Learner: Grade Level: Section: Date: LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 7 TEST DEVICES/ SYSTEMS AND/OR INSTALLATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT CONFORMS TO REQUIREMENTS Background Information for Learners TEST PROCEDURES A test procedure is a set of steps to guide you through what needs to be done to thoroughly test the installation. It is designed to help you work more effectively and to make sure you test everything that needs testing. Test procedures are created in-house and could include these steps: Gathering test information. The first step is to run the tests required by the procedure and find out what happens. You should record all the results of your tests in a log so that you know which pass and which fail, thereby requiring further action. Validating the test information. The next step is to check the data you gathered from the tests to make sure it is correct. This is usually done by running the tests again. Responding to test information. This step is important because you need to be able to recognize when a test shows problems or is successful. For example, if ping is used to test a network connection then ‘Request timed out’ shows the test was not successful Checking specification. The final step is an important end to testing. You need to check the specification for the installation to make sure that it has been met. For example, if a user requested an upgrade to make their display run at 1920 x 1200, then the ICT professional should check that the graphics card and screen can do this. 59 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times EXTERNAL VISUAL INSPECTION The external visual inspection consists of a quick inspection of the exterior of the computer, the monitor, the keyboard, any peripherals, and cables. While performing the visual inspection, make any necessary corrections. To perform the external visual inspection, perform the following steps: 1. Turn off the computer, the monitor, and all peripherals. 2. Verify that all power cables are properly connected to the computer, the monitor and peripherals, and their power sources. 3. Verify that the keyboard and mouse interface cables are firmly attached to the proper connectors on the back of the computer. • For a PS/2-compatible mouse, the keyboard and mouse interface cable connectors are identical except for their labels. • For a serial mouse, the mouse interface cable must be firmly attached to one of the serial port connectors, and its captive screws must be secure enough to ensure a firm connection 4. Verify that network cables (if present) are properly attached. 5. Verify that any devices attached to the serial and parallel port connectors are properly connected. • Each of the serial and parallel port interface cables must be firmly attached to an appropriate connector on the back of the computer as well as to the interface connector on the device. The captive screws that secure these connectors at each end of the interface cable must be secure enough to ensure a firm connection 6. Verify that the video interface cable is firmly attached to the video connector on the back panel or to a video expansion card, and also to the connector on the back of the monitor. For proper connection of the video monitor, see the documentation for the monitor 7. Inspect all external monitor controls for any obvious damage or improper settings. For proper settings of the video monitor controls, see the documentation for the monitor. 8. Inspect the keyboard to ensure that no keys are sticking. If one or more keys are 60 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times sticking, it may be necessary to replace the keyboard. 9. Inspect the exterior of the computer, including all controls and indicators, and all user-accessible data storage devices for any signs of physical damage. Does the inspection reveal any problems? If Yes, If No, Proceed to the appropriate procedure in "Removing and Replacing Parts." Proceed to "Observing the Boot Routine." OBSERVING THE BOOT ROUTINE To observe problem indications during the boot routine, perform the following steps: 1. If the system is off, turn on all peripherals and the computer. 2. Check the power supply fan. Does the fan run normally? If Yes. Proceed to step 3. 3. Watch the <Num Lock>, <Caps Lock>, and <Scroll Lock> indicators on the upperright corner of the keyboard. After all three indicators flash momentarily, and following a long pause (approximately 30 seconds), the Num Lock indicator should light up and remain on (unless the Num Lock option is set to Off in the System Setup program). Do these indicators flash on and off within approximately 10 seconds after the boot routine starts? If Yes. Proceed to step 4 4. During the boot routine, observe the system for any of the following indications: Beep codes - A beep code is a series of beeps that indicates an error condition If No. Troubleshoot the system power supply. If No. Troubleshoot the system power supply. If the troubleshooting procedure indicates that the system power supply is operational, troubleshoot the memory System error messages - these messages can indicate problems or provide status information Diskette - drive and hard-disk drive access indicators — These indicators light up in response to data being transferred to or from the drives. 61 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times 5. Observe the monitor screen for the Diagnostics menu. NOTICE: Before you proceed with the internal visual inspection described in this section, ensure that the user has saved all open files and exited all open application programs if possible. INTERNAL VISUAL INSPECTION A simple visual inspection of a computer ’s interior hardware can often lead to the source of a problem, such as a loose expansion card, cable connector, or mounting screw. To perform the internal visual inspection, perform the following steps: 1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect all the AC power cables from electrical outlets. CAUTION: Before beginning to work inside the computer, disconnect the power supply from the power source and the power supply cables from the power supply. 2. Remove the computer ’s right side cover. CAUTION: The heat sink assembly can get extremely hot during system operations. Be sure that it has had sufficient time to cool before touching it. CAUTION: When handling the heat sink assembly, take care to avoid sharp edges on the heat sink. 3. Verify that the chips, expansion cards, and SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly or assemblies are fully seated in their sockets or connectors. 4. To ensure that the chips are fully seated in their sockets, press firmly on the top of each chip. 5. Verify that all jumpers are set correctly. 6. Check all cable connectors inside the computer to verify that they are firmly attached to their appropriate connectors. 7. Reinstall the computer cover. 8. Reconnect the computer and any attached peripherals to their power sources, and turn them on. 62 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times Third-party programs If this program does not list the information you need, see the third-party program section on this page.

It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. Reasons can include: • to determine breaking points or safe usage limits • to test stable operation of a part or system outside standard usage • to confirm mathematical model is accurate enough in predicting breaking points or safe usage limits • to determine modes of failure (how exactly a system fails) • to confirm intended specifications are being met Reliability engineers often test items under expected stress or even under accelerated stress in order to determine the operating life of the item or to determine modes of failure. The term "stress" may have a more specific meaning in certain industries, such as material sciences, and therefore stress testing may sometimes have a technical meaning – one example is in fatigue testing for materials. Hardware Stress testing, in general, should put computer hardware under exaggerated levels of stress in order to ensure stability when used in a normal environment. These can include extremes of workload, type of task, memory use, thermal load (heat), clock speed, or voltages. Memory and CPU are two components that are commonly stress tested in this way. Software In software testing, a system stress test refers to tests that put a greater emphasis on robustness, availability, and error handling under a heavy load, rather than on what would be considered correct behavior under normal circumstances. In particular, the goals of such tests may be to ensure the software does not crash in conditions of 66 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times insufficient computational resources (such as memory or disk space), unusually high concurrency, or denial of service attacks. Best Tools to Stress Test Your PC (CPU, RAM, GPU, System) In order to ensure that there’s no hidden problems, the most important thing to do after buying or building a new PC is to stress test the machine for at least 6 hours to ensure the CPU, RAM and GPU are completely stable. For those who want additional performance by overclocking, performing stress testing will also help give you an idea of how much thermal headroom is available as well. If temperatures are far below thresholds, then overclocking may be an option to improve system performance. For older systems, it’s always recommended to stress test after any sort of PC upgrades as well. Sometimes it’s difficult to detect small issues with newly installed RAM or how compatible a new motherboard is with the rest of your components until you load it up and ensure it’s capable of running 100% stable even during periods of heavy load. System Monitoring Before stress testing the system, the most important thing to have is some sort of way to measure temperatures of the components in your system. While some applications such as AIDA64 or Intel XTU will come with the ability to measure component temperatures, some of the other benchmarks don’t have this ability, which is why it’s important to have some sort of system monitoring software to ensure that your first run of Prime95 or Furmark isn’t burning up your brand new components. HWMonitor (Free) One of the best free tools to monitor PC component temperatures is HWMonitor. HWMonitor has a clean, easy to use interface and will provide real time information such as utilization, temperature, clock speed, and power usage of the onboard components. CPU Stress Testing For CPU stress testing, one of the oldest and best free CPU stress testing utilities is Prime95. Prime95 essentially utilizes the CPU to find Mersenne prime numbers and in the process, generates a very heavy workload on the CPU. Generally an uninterrupted 6 hour run of Prime95 indicates that the CPU is good and will not have issues over its usable lifetime. However, it’s important to ensure temperatures are kept in a reasonable range. Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (Free) If you own an Intel CPU based system, one of the best CPU stress testing tools actually comes directly from the company who manufactured your processor. Intel’s Processor Diagnostic Tool will verify the processor, its operating frequency, test all of its onboard functionality, then proceed to stress testing it in one of the most intense ways possible. This test can be set to run on a loop and the test can even be set to automatically shut itself down if the CPU overheats. AIDA64 (Paid) AIDA64 is a very comprehensive full system diagnostic utility typically aimed at engineers, IT professionals, and systems enthusiasts. Among other tools, one of the best tools AIDA64 67 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times offers is the System Stability Test which has the ability to stress everything from the CPU to RAM to the GPU. RAM Stress Testing Memtest 64 (Free) GPU Stress Testing Furmark (Free) 3D Mark (Free/Paid) Without a doubt, Memtest 86+ is easily the most comprehensive memory stress testing utility out there, but if you’re looking for something a bit easier to use and more importantly, operates in the Windows OS, MemTest64 is one of the best memory stress testing tools out there. What’s great about MemTest64 is that it’s extremely easy to use and all that’s really needed to get going is simply to hit the “Begin Test” button and the utility will proceed testing. Furmark is a controversial free GPU stress testing utility as it stresses the GPU by producing a complicated 3D image and when run for an extended period of time, it’s been known to fry some older graphics cards that lacked certain voltage limit protections. These days, these issues are largely gone, but many critics of using Furmark to stress test GPUs claim that because no game will produce such a complicated image for such a long time, other methods of stress testing the GPU is far better and less dangerous. Like Unigine Heaven, 3D Mark is best known as a benchmark, but is also a very good GPU stress test. In the benchmark, 3D Mark uses the GPU to render extremely detailed 3D scenes, placing a stressful but realistic load on the GPU. While the free version of 3D Mark allows users to run one benchmark at a time, those with the full paid version can also loop the benchmark indefinitely to ensure full system stability when playing games. Full System Stress Testing Intel Extreme For those with Intel systems, one of the best free tools to stress test Tuning Utility (Free) the CPU, memory and GPU is actually Intel’s Xtreme Tuning Utility. This utility will allow users to select which component to stress test, for how long, and it simply does its thing. As Intel XTU is designed for overclocking the CPU, one nice thing about the utility is that it will give information about the CPU such as utilization, frequency, temperatures, and whether thermal throttling was detected during the stress testing.

There are five 5S phases: They can be translated from the Japanese as "sort", "set in order", "shine", "standardize", and "sustain". Other translations are possible. Sort ➢ Remove unnecessary items and dispose of them properly. ➢ Make work easier by eliminating obstacles. ➢ Reduce chances of being disturbed with unnecessary items. ➢ Prevent accumulation of unnecessary items. ➢ Evaluate necessary items with regard to cost or other factors. ➢ Remove all parts or tools that are not in use. ➢ Segregate unwanted material from the workplace. ➢ Need fully skilled supervisor for checking on regular basis. ➢ Don't put unnecessary items at the workplace & define a red-tagged area to keep those unnecessary items. ➢ Waste removal. Set in Order ➢ Arrange all necessary items so that they can be easily selected for use. ➢ Prevent loss and waste of time by arranging work station in such a way that all tooling / equipment is in close proximity ➢ Make it easy to find and pick up necessary items ➢ Ensure first-in-first-out FIFO basis ➢ Make workflow smooth and easy ➢ All of the above work should be done on regular basis Shine ➢ Clean your workplace completely ➢ Use cleaning as inspection ➢ Prevent machinery and equipment deterioration ➢ Keep workplace safe and easy to work ➢ Keep workplace clean and pleasing to work in ➢ When in place, anyone not familiar to the environment must be able to detect any problems within 50 feet in 5 secs. 71 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times ➢ Standardize the best practices in the work area. Standardize ➢ Maintain high standards in workplace organization at all times. ➢ Maintain orderliness.

Japanese English Seiri Sort, Clearing, Classify Seiton Straighten, Simplify, set in order, Configure Seiso Sweep, shine, Scrub, Clean and Check Seiketsu Standardize, stabilize, Conformity Shitsuke Sustain, self-discipline, custom and practice And for completeness, some companies add a 6th (6S) of Safety, although in my opinion this should be an integral part of the steps of 5S and not a separate stage in itself. 3 R’s The three R's - reduce, reuse and recycle - all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three R's save land and money communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills. Siting a new landfill has become difficult and more expensive due to environmental regulations and public opposition. Everyone can help meet this goal and save natural resources, energy, and money by following the three R's. REDUCE The best way to manage waste is to not produce it. This can be done by shopping carefully and being aware of a few guidelines: • Buy products in bulk. Larger, economy-size products or ones in concentrated form use less packaging and usually cost less per ounce. • Avoid over-packaged goods, especially ones packed with several materials such as foil, paper, and plastic. They are difficult to recycle, plus you pay more for the package. • Avoid d i s p o s a b l e g o o d s , s u c h a s p a per p l a t e s , c u p s , na pki ns , r a z o r s , a n d lighters . 72 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times • Throwaways contribute to the problem, and cost more because they must be replaced again and again. • Buy durable goods - ones that are well-built or that carry good warranties. They will last REUSE It makes economic and environmental sense to reuse products. Sometimes it takes creativity: • Reuse products for the same purpose. Save paper and plastic bags, and repair broken appliances, furniture and toys. • Reuse p r o d u c t s i n different w a y s . Use a coffee c a n t o pack a lunch; u s e pl a st i c microwave dinner trays as picnic dishes. • Sell old clothes, appliances, toys, and furniture in garage sales or ads, or donate them to charities. • Use resealable containers rather than plastic wrap. • Use a ceramic coffee mug instead of paper cups. • Reuse grocery bags or bring your own cloth bags to the store. Do not take a bag from the store unless you need one. RECYCLE Recycling is a series of steps that takes a used material and processes, remanufactures, and sells it as a new product. Begin recycling at home and at work: • Buy products made from recycled material. Look for the recycling symbol or ask store managers or salesmen. The recycling symbol means one of two things - either the product is made of recycled material, or the item can be recycled. For instance, many plastic containers have a recycling symbol with a numbered code the identifies what type of plastic resin it is made from. However, just because the container has this code does not mean it can be easily recycled locally.Check collection centers and curbside pickup services to see what they accept, and begin • collecting those materials. These can include metal cans, newspapers, paper products, glass, plastics and oil. • Consider purc ha si ng r e c y c l e d m a t e r i a l s a t work whe n purchasing m a t e r i a l f or office supply, office equipment or manufacturing. • Speak to store managers and ask for products and packaging that help cut down on waste, such as recycled products and products that are not over packaged. • Buy products made from material that is collected for recycling in your community. • Use recycled paper for letterhead, copier paper and newsletters. 73 Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times LO 5.
