 QUESTIONING TOOL

1. Static electricity can be prevented by using anti static wrist strap and
touching any grounded material/equipment.

2. A proper workplace is a well-ventilated area, conducive for

troubleshooting, and organized.

3. Mainframes are powerful multi-user computer capable of supporting

many hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously while
supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized
applications only.

4. The main goal of occupational and health safety program is to foster a

safe work environment.

5. Hostile environment

6. 550 watts and above

7. Don’t allow him to enter to the work area and explain him the risk and
importance of personal protective equipment at work.

8. Touch any grounded materials, equipment or appliance.

9. No, because the DDR ram are not compatible to DDR2 slots.

10. Answer can be:

a. Keep any component in an anti-static bag until you actually
install it to the computer.

 d. Turn off and disconnect all peripherals.
e. Do not disassemble parts other than those specified in the
procedure.
f. Label any cable connectors before disconnecting. Note where the
connector goes and in what position it was installed.
g. Take care when connecting or disconnecting cables. A damaged
cable can cause a short in the electrical circuit.
h. When installing a cable, route the cable so it is not pinched by
other components and is out of the path of the system unit
cover.
i. Prevent damage to the connectors by aligning connector pins
before you connect the cable. Misaligned connector pins can
cause damage to system components at power-on.
j. When disconnecting a cable, always pull on the cable connector
or strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself.

11. We can install video card at the video graphic adapter (VGA) slot for
older model and PCI-e (peripheral component interconnect-express)
slot for newer models.
12. Backup and restore.
13. Because safety is life.
14. 100 meters
