emergencies are recognized.

2. Personal protective equipment are correctly used in accordance with

organization OHS procedures and practices.

3. Hazard/risks in the workplace and their corresponding indicators

are identified to minimize or eliminate risk to co-workers, workplace
and environment.

4. Always discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer.

5. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit. Wear rubber sole
shoes when standing on the ground or in a concrete floor. 

2
 6. Always power off and unplug the computer before working on it.
When making circuit changes switch off and unplug the power cord
from the equipment then discharge the capacitors.

7. Replace only fuses with those proper rating.

8. Hold the components by the edges and do not touch the IC’s. 

9. Read and follow instructions on the manual carefully.

10. Do not use excessive force if things don’t quite slip into place.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

Static Control

- Modern PCs depends extremely complex integrated circuits, and

those chips are very sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Unfortunately, static electricity’s commonplace and its generated
constantly as simple passing a comb through our hair or putting
on a sweater.
- It a fast, silent, invisible killer of PC components. It is caused by a
buildup of a static electricity on one object discharging to ground
through another object.
- When ESD is allowed to discharge through a chip, the chip is
destroyed. No outward signs of ESD damage occur: no fire no
smoke, and rarely any shock or other physical sensation. Still the
damage is real.

Two Ways that Static Charge can Buildup

1. Anything that moves or rub against anything else has the potential to
generate static electricity.
(Example: Household appliances or own feet moving on the floor)
2. A spark resulting from a poor electrical connection or an unshielded
or damage cable.

Symptoms of ESD Damage

-Because ESD damage occurs silently and without warning, these

symptoms of such a discharge are the only indication that ESD could
have occurred.

3
 a) A new component/ replacement don’t work.
b) You’ve just carried an upgrade/ repair and previously working
component is no longer working.
c) A new component/s fails within one or two ears of installation.

Tips to Prevent ESD

1. Buy and always wear an Anti-static wrist strap. Make sure it is

connected to a good grounding point such as the chassis of the PC.
2. Keep components inside an antistatic bag or container until you need
them.
3. Never handle components unnecessarily. Never drag or slide
components over an surface. Use anti-static mat to place PC
components.
4. Keep static causing surfaces such as plastics and Styrofoam away
from our work area.
5. If possible, keep air warm and humidity above 50 percent.
6. To avoid risk of ESD, avoid wearing synthetic clothing if possible.
7. Keep dust to a minimum as possible.
8. Make sure that all contacts and connections are done up firmly before
switching the system on.

Advantage of Wearing a Wrist Strap

1. It safely discharges any static charge you have accumulated, while

preventing you from accumulating further buildup.
2. It is the cheapest and most effective solution to ESD.

Electricity Control

- PCs and their peripherals use raw alternating current (AC) as power
source. Although the myriad of plugs, outlets, and line cords use
today are generally regarded as quite safe to end-users, technicians
must open work in close proximity to exposed circuitry. In reality, the
odds of electrocution are actually quite slim, but electricity can injure
or kill when handles carelessly.

Guidelines to Prevent Electrical Mishaps

1. Keep the PC unplug when working inside it.

2. Use one hand only for “hot” measurements.
3. Use properly rated test probe.

Uses & Functions of the Basic Tools, Equipments and Testing Instruments

Learning Objective/s:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Define and identify the functions of the basic tools, equipment

and testing instruments.
2. Understand the importance of using the exact tools equipment
and testing instruments for a specific task.

Introduction:

PROPER TOOL SELECTION

A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools

range from a traditional metal cutting part of a machine to an element of a
computer program that activates and controls a particular function.

Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool

selection.

1. How do you select the best tool for the job? First, know and
understand in detail the scope of work to be accomplished, second,
plan for the scope taking into account the sequence of tasks.

2. Selecting the best tool for each task requires training in the proper
use of the tools, field experience in their safe use, and following the
manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for that specific tool.

3. When obtaining the tool all the associated tooling and consumable
parts, as recommended by the manufacturer, must be included. In
addition, related consumable parts must also be selected and used
according to their manufacturer’s instructions.

7
Safe Use of tools

Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not
all tools come with detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell
out the safety ―Do’s and Don’ts‖ for the your safety. If there are set-
up/use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is the
safest way to use the tool.

Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following:

• All tools be kept in good condition with regular maintenance

• The right tool be used for the job

• Each tool be examined before use AND damaged or defective tools NOT to
be used

• Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions

• The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used

HARDWARE TOOLS

To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should

contain all of the necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn
which tools to have available for

different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into these four
categories:

 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools

 Hand tools
 Cleaning tools
 Diagnostic tools

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools

Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile

flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The friction of moving air alone will
charge suspended particles and cause the buildup of static electrical
charges on people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic

8
work mats used with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic means
for the

controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity. Examples of ESD Tools:

Anti-static wrist strap – used to prevent ESD damage

to computer
equipment.

Anti-static mat – used to stand on or place hardware

Hand Tools

A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical

system using only hands. The hand tools can be manually used employing
force, or electrically powered, using electrical current. Examples of Hand
Tools:

Flat head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten

slotted
screws.

Philips head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten

crosshead
screws.

9
Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws
that have a star-like depression on the top, a feature
that is mainly found on laptop.

Hex driver – sometimes called a nut driver, is used to

tighten nuts in the same way that a screwdriver
tightens screws.

Needle-nose plier – used to hold small parts.

Wire cutter – used to strip and cut wires.

Tweezers – used to manipulate small parts.

Part retriever – used to retrieve parts from location

that are to small for your hand to fit.

Flashlight – used to light up areas that you cannot see

well.

10
Cleaning Tools

Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or

repairing computers.

Using these tools ensures that computer components are not damaged
during cleaning.

Examples:

Lint-free 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 screw, jumpers,

fasteners and other small parts and prevents them
from getting mixed together.

Diagnostic Tools

Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new
generation of hardware and operating system update, but that doesn't
mean they're problem-free. Here's the most popular tools for diagnosing
your computer problems:

11
 Lint-free cloth – used to clean different computer
components without scratching or leaving debris.

Loopback Adapter – used to test the functionality of

computer ports.

Introduction:
MICROCOMPUTER BASICS

The greatest application of digital circuits is in digital computers. A

digital computer is a device that automatically processes data using
digital techniques. Data are pieces of information. Processing refers to the
variety of ways that data can be manipulated.

Digital computers are classified by size and computing power. The largest
computers are called Mainframes. These computers are expensive, having
extensive memory and high-speed calculating capabilities. Smaller scale
computers – the minicomputer and microcomputer – are more widely
used. Even though they represent a small percentage of the total computer
dollars invested, small-scale computers represent the largest number of
computers in use. The Microcomputer is the smallest and least expensive
of the digital computers that still retains all the features and
characteristics of a computer.

Mainframe

Minicomputer

15
Computers are also classified by function. The most common function is
data processing. Industry, business, and government use computers to
maintain records, perform accounting tasks, keep inventory, and provide a
wide variety of other data processing functions.

Computers can be general purpose or special purpose. General-purpose

computers are flexible and can be programmed for any task. Special-
purpose, or dedicated, computers are designed to perform a single task.

All digital computers consist of five basics blocks or sectors: control,

arithmetic logic unit (ALU), memory, input, and output. In some cases
the input and output blocks are a single block identified as input / output
(I/O). Because the control unit and the arithmetic logic unit are closely
related and difficult to separate, they may be collectively referred to as the
central processing unit (CPU) or microprocessing unit (MPU).

 What is a Computer?

A computer is an electronic machine used to process information.

However, we can do a whole lot more with computers than just calculate
numbers or print out data. We can draw pictures, write memos and
reports, and even communicate with other computer users.

Educators can use the computer to write lesson plans, notices, and letters,
make visual aids, create presentations and share and collaborate with
other teachers from around the world.

There are two basic parts of a computer: hardware and software.

Hardware is a generic term for all the physical components of the

computer. Software is a generic term for the programs that run on a
computer.

Hardware

Hardware is another term for the physical components of a

computer. This is the most basic level on which the computer operates.
The key point to remember is that all information is processed
electronically. PC stands for Personal Computer, although that
abbreviation is most often associated with computer running the Windows
operating system.

Below is a picture of a standard PC with each hardware part labeled.

The photo on the right shows how the monitor, keyboard and mouse are
connected to the System Unit.

18
System Unit:
Is the box which contains the CPU and RAM. It is where the
information from the input devices gets processed.

CPU (Central Processing Unit):

Electronically processes the incoming information. The CPU is a
complex microelectronic switch which evaluates the incoming signal and
instructs other PC components to take certain actions.

RAM (Random Access Memory):

RAM is temporary electronic memory located inside the CPU that
stores information.

Output devices:
The CPU sends signals to the output devices. The output devices
then display the information. Common output devices are the following

Monitor - the computers basic output device and produces the

softcopy
Printer - prints the softcopy and produces hardcopy
Plotter - remarkably large printers for printing posters, blue prints,
etc.
Speakers - an audio output device
Headphones
LCD projector

Storage: A storage device is used to save a permanent copy of

documents. Common types of storage devices include floppy disks and
hard disks. You may also store data on zip disks and CD-ROMS.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-4
Installing peripherals and other I/O devices

Learning Objective/s:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Know how to assemble computer system

2. Apply 5s in assembling computer system

Introduction:

PROCEDURE

1. Find a clean and static free work environment

It just means that you should NOT be on carpet, and should

wear shoes to prevent static electricity from building up. Another great
way of protecting your new project would be to wear an anti-static
wrist strap. This grounds you to the case of the computer which does a
great job of dispersing any static electricity that may build up in the
building process.

22
2. Open and prepare the case

The following sets of pictures show two different cases

illustrating how they can either come off in one piece, or have the side
panels removed.

Removing the Case as a Whole

Removing a Case's Side Panels

Installing the power supply

Most power supplies are a standard size and should fit nicely in
the case.  Just make sure the fan is unobstructed and the screw holes
in the power supply line up with the screw holes in the case. 

23
Installing the Risers

Locate the bag of screws that came with your case and
take out the motherboard risers. 

Riser
You will need as many risers as there are holes in
the motherboard. 

Next simply screw the risers into place, as seen

on the right, making sure they're tight.  Once the
risers are installed, you can get the front of the case
ready for the drives.

Preparing the front of the case

When a case is brand new the front part

where the drives will be are covered up usually by
a metal piece as well as a plastic piece on the front
that matches the case as seen to the right.  First,

24
 decide where you will be putting your drive or
drives. 

Typically a CD/DVD drive is put in the top

slot of most computers, but it's completely up to
you and is most often simply an aesthetic
decision.  The front cover for each CD/DVD bay
can usually come off fairly easy with a flathead
screwdriver.  Once off, you may or may not have to
remove a metal piece inside (as seen on the right). 

Preparing the back of the case

The last thing you need to do to prepare the case is make sure
there are open slots to accommodate the motherboard's various ports
as well as the ports that will be there when all the cards are installed.

Usually the motherboard comes with a rectangular metal piece

that fits on the back of the case and allows access to all the necessary
ports on the motherboard; ports such as the keyboard and mouse
ports, and the USB ports. 

If the motherboard came with one, then replace the existing one
on the case with that one.  Make sure the round keyboard and mouse
port holes are towards the top of the case, this will ensure they will
line up correctly once you put the motherboard in.

3. Install the motherboard

25
 When installing most computer parts, and especially the
motherboard, you must remember that you shouldn't force anything in,
but you can't be too timid as to not apply enough pressure to make
things fit. 

Place it in the case

Warning!!! Touch the case!   Remember, if

you're not using a static wristband then
make sure you are always touching the
case while handling electronic
components.  Make sure your forearm is
touching the perimeter of the case.

Secure the Motherboard

Once the motherboard is positioned, determine how many

screws you will need. Don’t tighten them all the way until they are all
in place so if you need to shift the motherboard at all you can still do
so. 

4. Install the Processor (CPU-Central Processing Unit)

Determine your CPU type

Keep in mind that the terms processor and

CPU may be used interchangeably so you
can get used to hearing both references and
better relate the terms to the same thing. 
Mainly there are two different types of
processors, socket and slot. 

1. Socket processor installation

This installation is a little more difficult, but all you have to do is be

careful that you don't bend any pins and make sure you orient the
processor correctly to fit in the socket.

2. Slot processor installation

26
Installation of a slot processor is a little easier than a socket CPU since all
you have to do is plug it in.  There is only one way to plug it in and there
are guide rails to make sure it goes in securely

To determine which slots the memory will go into, please consult your
motherboard manual.  Each motherboard may be different as to how
many slots need to be taken, and in which order.

SDRAM

Once you establish which slots need to be filled up and in what

sequence, it's just a matter of popping the memory into place.

DDRAM
6. Install the Hard Drive

Configure the jumper setting of your Hard Drive with the IDE
Buswire (Master & Slave configuration)

The best way to situate the hard drive in there is to orient it so the
pins and plug are facing towards the inside of the computer. 

7. Install the Video/Display Card

Installing the cards and double checking everything is all that's

needed before you can turn the computer on for the first time.

Locate your video card, it's the one with a

blue connector on the back and looks like the
picture on the right.  The slot you'll be inserting

27
 the video card into is called an AGP slot.  The
process for inserting this card is the same as all
the other cards aside from the fact that it goes in a
different kind of slot.

Make sure the card is seated well in the slot by pushing down
on the edge of it along its length.  It should feel secure in there, and
the back end of the card should be lined up with the empty slot on the
back of the computer.

8. Install the CD or DVD drive

When you're ready to physically install the drive, just slide it into
the bay you've selected for it.  Everything should go smoothly; if it doesn't then
you should check for any obstructions that may be blocking it.

Once the front of the drive is flush with the case you're ready to
secure it with screws.  Sometimes the CD/DVD drives come with a bag
of four small screws.  Once you secure the drive with all four screws
you're ready to connect all the devices with the IDE cable.

28
Install the Floppy Drive

Connect the devices

Now that you have all the devices in the computer, you're ready to
connect all of them.

Connect the power wires

1. Motherboard

Pictured right, this connector has the

most wires leading to the power supply. 
Locate the plug on the motherboard and plug
it in. 

2. Hard Drive, CD/DVD, and Zip/Jaz Drives

The connectors for these devices have four wires stemming

from them (pictured right).  If you look closely you'll see
that two of the four corners have notches in them.

3. Floppy Drive

The floppy drive power connector is much smaller

and has only four wires coming from it.

4. Other Power Connections

Some motherboards have other places that may

or may not require a power connector to be connected. 

5. Front Panel Connector

29
 This connector makes sure the buttons and lights on the front of
your panel know how to work.  It also powers the speaker that makes that
"beep" sound when you turn on your computer.  Each motherboard may
be different but the instructions will look very similar to what is shown
below.

It is very important to consult your manual to make sure you make

all the appropriate connections. 

10. Check all connections

This step will provide a checklist for you to go over, making sure
that all your cables are properly connected and secure:

Check List

1. Make sure all the cards are seated well and screwed in

2. Check the power connections

3. Check the IDE and Floppy cables and master/slave settings

4. Check the front panel connectors

5. Check any other connections

30
Applying 5s on your computer

You work with documents, presentations, graphics, and other files

all day—and chances are, you have a lot of them. And that means it takes
time to find the documents you need. Even if it is just a couple of minutes
here, and a couple of minutes there, it all adds up. But there is a better
way to stop the file clutter—by managing your files more effectively.

Digital files are no different than paper files, and if you don't have a
good method of organization, things get lost. Whether you save your files
in your computer's hard drive or a shared network location, this course
will help you save time and headache of searching for files.

The purpose of this instruction is to help you apply 5S concepts to

the hard drive of your computer resulting in an increase to your daily
productivity, better organization of your computer, and further compliance
with the Office 5S initiative. We will cover the following topics as they
relate to your hard drive:

5S provides the foundation for all quality improvement programs.

Thus, it is often said that the road to productivity starts with 5S and
through 5S you can create a highly productive company with highly
productive people. 5S is not only a matter of good housekeeping.

It is a process to create more productive people and more productive

companies through motivation, education, and the practice of 5S. It
involves the creation of a strong corporate culture filled with the spirit
filled with the spirit of high productivity.

1. Seiri Sorting/Putting things in order (Remove/discard what is not

needed so that there are fewer hazards and less clutter to interfere
