SECTION 1 Chapter 1 ASSEMBLING OF COMPUTER 1. Install all the components on the motherboard including memory modules, processor, and expansion cards, and also all connections for the motherboard. 2. Install the power supply at its proper location in the computer case and connect it to the motherboard. 3. Install all the drives at the appropriate drive bays and connect the drive to the motherboard and the power supply. 4. Attach all the external devices and peripherals to the computer case and the main power supply. 5. Slid back the computer case cover on the computer case and tighten it using screws. 6. Connect the computer to the main power supply. ASSEMBLING MEANS CONNECTING ALL THE PARTS TOGETHER

PARTS OF THE COMPUTER: THE PART OF COMPUTER IS AS FOLLOWS: PLACING MOTHERBOARD. PLACE THE SMPS. CONNECT THE RAMP. PLACEING THE PROCESSOR. HARD DISK. DVD WRITER. FRONT PANNEL OF CABINET I/O DEVICES. CRT OR LCD

Motherboard:A motherboard is the soul of the computer. This is the most important entity, the processor, is embedded and the connections of all the peripherals of the computer are connected.

PLACING OF RAM ON THE MOTHERBOARD RAM It is a part of computer data storage (memory). It is Random Access Memory. As the name suggests, any piece data can be accessed at a constant time, regardless of its place in the physical memory. Greatest the RAM size fastest is the operation. The latest RAM is DDR 3. The RAM must be places in such a way that the slots get aligned with the slots on the DIMM slot on the board. Not much force must be used if the RAM slot doesnt get connected properly. Check if the RAM is being inserted properly in the DIMM slots. More force would probably damage it. INSTALLING OF DRIVE: Different types of external drives commonly found in a PC are: HARD DISK DRIVE FLOPPY DISK DRIVE, [found only in old computers] ANY OPTICAL DISK DRIVE LIKE CD-ROM DRIVE, ETC.

The Hard disk drive must be connected in order to make the system boot.

HDDs are available in SATA, eSATA, PATA, IDE, iSCSI. SATA has a faster transfer rate while the iSCSI has even more transfer rate and thus it is used in server systems. PATA is outdated and seldom used in modern devices. SMPS [Switching Mode power Supply] It is the block of circuit that supplies main power to the motherboard. It divides the power and distributes to the other peripherals. For different motherboard different types of SMPS are used with different power specifications. It uses 24 pins Molex connector. The output voltage of SMPS does not exceeds 20volts

Identify and fit the screws that are holding the power supply to the computer case, from the back of the computer case. As the power supply is quite heavy, the best practice to fit the screws is to first fit he first few initial screws. Then, giving support to the power supply fit the remaining screws. This prevents the power supply from falling in the computer case.

Chapter 2 Network Interfacing and IP addressing A network interface card (NIC) is a hardware device that handles an interface to a computer network and allows a network-capable device to access that network.

An IP address is a logical address that is assigned by software residing in a server or router (see DHCP). In order to locate a device in the network, the logical IP address is converted to a physical address by a function within the TCP/IP protocol software (see ARP). The physical address is actually built into the hardware (see MAC address) An IPv4 address is composed of four sets of 8 binary bits, which are referred to as octets. The result is that IP addresses are 32 bits in length. Each bit in each octet is assigned a decimal value. The leftmost bit has a value of 128, followed by 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1, left to right. Each bit in the octet can be either a 1 or a 0. If the value is 1, it is counted as its decimal value, and if it is 0, it is ignored. If all the bits are 0, the value of the octet is 0. If all the bits in the octet are 1, the value is 255, which is 128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1. IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF (The Internet Engineering Task Force) to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4").

The MAC address is a unique value associated with a network adapter. MAC addresses are also known as hardware addresses or physical addresses. They uniquely identify an adapter on a LAN. MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal numbers (48 bits in length). Classes of IP Addresses:Private IP Class A Class B Class C First Private IP 10.0.0.1 172.16.0.1 192.168.0.1 Last Private IP 10.255.255.254 172.31.255.254 192.168.255.254

Class A: Class A addresses are specified to networks with large number of total hosts. Class A allows for 126 networks by using the first octet for the network ID. The first bit in this octet, is always set and fixed to zero. And next seven bits in the octet is all set to one, which then complete network ID. The 24 bits in the remaining octets represent the hosts ID, allowing 126 networks and approximately 17 million hosts per network. Class A network number values begin at 1 and end at 127. Class B: Class B addresses are specified to medium to large sized of networks. Class B allows for 16,384 networks by using the first two octets for the network ID. The two bits in the first octet are always set and fixed to 1 0. The remaining 6 bits, together with the next octet, complete network ID. The 16 bits in the third and fourth octet represent host ID, allowing for approximately 65,000 hosts per network. Class B network number values begin at 128 and end at 191. Class C: Class C addresses are used in small local area networks (LANs). Class C allows for approximately 2 million networks by using the first three octets for the network ID. In class C address three bits are always set and fixed to 1 1 0. And in the first three octets 21 bits complete the total network ID. The 8 bits of the last octet represent the host ID allowing for 254 hosts per one network. Class C network number values begin at 192 and end at 223. Class D and E: Classes D and E are not allocated to hosts. Class D addresses are used for multicasting, and class E addresses are not available for general use: they are reserved for future purposes.

Chapter 3 The Core Banking System One of the tasks given to us during the training period at HCL was to survey the computers located at different branches of Syndicate Bank. The work that was given to us was to check if the computers at the branch location were under the annual maintenance contract of HCL. If yes, then take down the computer details and mark it down on the list, and stick a label which marked that the computer is in AMC of HCL. Because of this we had a chance to travel to almost all places of Mumbai. Syndicate bank has around 78 branches in and around Mumbai. This work was divided among the 9 students that were working at the Ballard Estate office of HCL. Vashi, Nerul, Ulhasnagar, Masjid Bunder, Andheri, Virar, Vasai, Nalasopara, etc, were some of the places we had to visit for AMC. Different devices used in bank were networked computers (connected in Star topology), network printers, passbook printers, scanners and all this was connected to a IBM xSeries Server. Main thing to learn from these bank visits was how the backend of the banking system works. Core Banking System: The core banking system can be simplified into basic banking system. Core means basic, and this system works at a very simplified level of operation. To understand this CBS we will go from the bottom level i.e. the bank branch to the Reserve bank level. Every bank branch has at least one IBM server or whatever server the Bank regional office IT section decides. Different server manufacturers are DELL, HP, IBM, etc. Dell manufactures blade servers which are highly efficient and they consume very less power. Over that, the blade server has multiple cores and can serve enormous amounts of requests. While the IBM is popular for manufacturing super computers and highly efficient small business servers. The kind of servers used in syndicate bank at branch level were IBM xSeries servers, which had Intel Xeon server processor. Purpose of branch server: Every transaction that occurred on the networked branch computer was done on this server. Transactions such as cash deposit in customer account, cash withdraw, interest, loans, new accounts, etc. are recorded and processed

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

on the server. The networked computers have no real meaning in processing other than acting as client computers in a cloud. (Cloud is a computing environment where clients have very little processing power and most of the processing is done remotely on the server. Several clients are connected to this main server cluster. A cloud is becoming a very popular architecture in business computing.) The client computer is connected to the server by a software program called FlexCube. The client computer uses the flexcube client software, while the server has a flexcube server process running. Every transaction is carried out by means of this software. Flexcube is a very popular software and it is used almost every bank where a CBS architecture is used.

Such a type of computing environment is found at almost every Syndicate bank or any other bank which has implemented the CBS. As we move on upwards, we come to the Regional office. The regional office is a head office of that particular bank. For syndicate bank, it is located in Maker Tower, Cuff Parade, Mumbai. This office maintains every record of the transaction that has occurred in any of its branches. All the transactions that occur in the syndicate bank branches are recorded and logged at the main office servers. The main office has several servers. Every bank branch is connected to this regional office by means of a leased internet connection. As the transaction occurs in any of the bank branch it is logged on the branch server. The branch server forwards this transaction data to the regional office. The regional office has a database of all the transactions that occur in its branches. This enables the customer to deposit money at some other branch of syndicate bank, because after all the data is going to be logged to the regional office. That is why you can have access to your bank account anywhere in Mumbai or outside belonging to a particular bank.

As we move upwards, we see that there are several back up servers. These backup servers are found at regional office which takes daily backups of all the data logged into the servers. This prevents interrupts in the bank transaction and normal operation. Such an architecture of is commonly used for different banks such as Cosmos bank, Saraswat bank, ICICI, SBI, etc. We now reach the topmost level of the CBS. We find the Reserve bank servers. The reserve bank servers are large in quantity, much more than the main bank office servers. Tens of servers all used to record and log the transaction of every bank in the nation. These servers are partially responsible for determining the economic strength of the nation. At night, after the bank shuts down, the Main office server initiates a transfer. The transfer of the bank transactions that occurred in its bank branches is initiated. Every transaction is sent to the reserve bank server. Nothing much about it is known. Such a system is also helpful in efficient internet banking system.

Chapter 4 NETWORKING

A network is, fundamentally, a system of senders and receivers. Any machine capable of communicating on the network is a device or node. A computer network is a collection of interconnected autonomous computers.

FEATURES OF NETWORKING:-

Fast Speed. Low Cost. Security. Centralized Software Management. Resource Sharing. Electronic Mail. Workgroup Computing.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

TYPES OF NETWORK:1. BASED ON COMPUTING CONDITION 3. BASED ON TOPOLOGIES 4. BASED ON SERVER CENTRIC BASED ON COMPUTING MODEL a) Centralized computing model :-Centralized computing is computing done at a central location, using terminals that are attached to a central computer. The computer itself may control all the peripherals directly (if they are physically connected to the central computer), or they may be attached via a terminal server. Alternatively, if the terminals have the capability, they may be able to connect to the central computer over the network. The terminals may be text terminals or thin clients, for example. b) Distributed computing model :Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed MODEL

2. BASED ON GEO-GRAPHICAL AREA

systems. A distributed system consists of multiple

autonomous computers that

communicate through a computer network. The computers interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal. A computer program that runs in a distributed system is called a distributed program, and distributed programming is the process of writing such programs. b) Collaborative computing model :Collaborative computing is a fertile melange of technologies and techniques which facilitate people working together via computer-assisted means.

LAN - Local Area Network A LAN connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings. In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP subnet.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

WAN - Wide Area Network As the term implies, a WAN spans a large physical distance. The Internet is the largest WAN, spanning the Earth. A WAN is a geographically-dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a routerconnects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address. Metropolitan Area Network - a network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city. A MAN is typically owned an operated by a single entity such as a government body or large corporation. Campus Area Network - a network spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN, such as on a university or local business campus. Storage Area Network - connects servers to data storage devices through a technology like Fibre Channel. System Area Network - links high-performance computers with high-speed connections in a cluster configuration. Also known as Cluster Area Network.

Network topologies: a) Star :Computers are connected by cable segments to a centralized component, called a hub. Signals are transmitted from a sending computer through the hub to all computers. Offers centralized resources and management. In this the RJ 45 connector are use.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

Bus :Single cable acts as backbone to link all devices in the network. Communication controlled by each device on network. It isconnected by co-axial cable .

b) Ring :In this, devices form a ring. No central controller. Message pass around the ring..Single loop of cable; no terminated ends. It is connected by fiber optic cable. Also sharing of work is possible , but it share the work in loop only .

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

c) Mesh :In this , every device has dedicated point to point link to every other device. It is simple logical but complex physical topology. In this also sharing of work is possible . Means anyone can share work with other.

Hybrid-mesh :It is nothing but collection or group of two or more than two topologies. Example. Group of bus and star topology . All above topologies are connected then it is called as hybrid-mesh. Based on server centric 1. PEER TO PEER NETWORK Allow users to share resources and files located on their computers and to access shared resources found on other computers. All computers are considered equal. Examples: Windows for Workgroups

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

2.

CLIENT/SERVER NETWORK

Allow the network to centralize functions and applications in one or more dedicated file servers. The file servers become the heart of the system. Examples: Windows 2000 Server.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

1. CLEANING PROCESS

Cleaning takes place in the following manner:1) Boxes are opened are removed from the bubble bag. 2) MPEG-2 (Saturn, Surya) & MPEG-4 are separately stacked. 3) Unscrewed and screws of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 are separated. 4) With the help of a tweezers the card reader slot is opened. 5) Then finally cleaning is started. In cleaning section we have to clean STB with IPA, Colin and cloths. Physical damage and liquid damage should be checked. We also have to check the cosmetic as per Tata Sky Visual criteria.

Theses are some cleaning products by which the STB mismarks are clean.

After cleaning process all the STB goes towards QMC process for various checkpoints.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

2. QC PROCESS As per STB comes from cleaning process, we checked the query of STB and identify the fault for it. The following checkpoints should be checked Check for Digicard detecting. Checking for rust on connectors. Check signal quality and signal strength. Check the latest software version. Check the cosmetic as per Tata Sky Visual Criteria. Check for rust on broad and connector. Check for power on self test. Check audio with both ports.

After going from QC process; STB goes for repairing process

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

3. REPAIRING PROCESS These are some normally occurring problems in STB Repairing of DEAD UNIT Repairing of NO SIGNAL Repairing of NO SIGNAL(Audio) Repairing of Smart Card fault

Some major problems can be occurs in STB are as follows Satellite Link problem

In repairing section mainly two types of STB comes for repairing i.e. SURYA and MPEG-4 because production of SATURN is stopped by Tata Sky Set Top Box.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

I.

REPARING OF DEAD UNIT Whenever STB get dead; problem must be within power supply section of STB. The firstly we checked for 12v at power adaptor voltage and if problem is not there in supply then problem must be within capacitor C403 and C404.

II.

REPAIRING OF NO SIGNAL The problem for no signal must be within signal cable and excluding this the frequency must be within 9750MHz-10600. Excluding this frequency cant be link by receiver at earth station.

III.

REPARING OF NO AUDIO In no audio signal problem must be within Audio cable. If the problem is not found in audio cable then problem must be within Ic U6. REPARING OF SMART CARD FAULT In smart card fault connectors J1 and J6 must be damaged or pushed. If there are no visual defaults problem must be within Ic U1.

IV.

After repairing process, STB goes for soaking process and if any fault found in soaking, again it comes for repairing process.

ST.XAVIERS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

HINDUSTAN COMPUTERS LIMITED

4.SOAKING PROCESS In this process STB are set for soaking process for more than 4 hours. This is final checking before STB get dispatch from service center. In this process we checked for following stages: Video freezing Audio distortion Keypad section Signal strength and signal quality checking If this test fails, then forward the product to pervious repair stages. If this test passes, forward the STB to final testing process.
