 Technical Report is any document that records the procedure adopted and results obtained

from a test conducted on a PC.

 Job Order records the location, date and time the service is carried out and the nature of
service that was carried out.
 OHS is Occupational Health and Safety

 A crossover LAN cable is used to connect the following devices: Router to Router, PC to PC,
Hub to Hub
 A computer graphics card is usually installed on PCI port of the motherboard.
 In creating a bootable USB disk, the command that updates the master boot code for hard
disk partitions is BOOTSECT.
 In creating a bootable USB disk, the command that shifts the focus to an object is SELECT.
 If you want to partition a hard disk, and the unit used is in GB, multiply it by 1,024 to get the
MB.
 After installing the operating system, the software that should you install next are drivers.
 To setup the time and date, the time zone that you should use on a computer here in the
Philippines is UTC + 8.
 Configuration is the way a system is set up, or the assortment of components that make up the
system.
 Example of brands of hard disk drives: Seagate, Toshiba, Hitachi
 In handling computer hardware components, static electricity can damage sensitive computer
components such as the RAM or the processor.
 Whenever you purchase software or hardware for your computer, you should first make
sure your computer supports the system requirements. Because if your computer does not meet
these requirements, applications may not run very well or may not run at all.
 Straight-through and crossover cables is the different arrangement of different color of smaller
wires on each end of a network cable.
 The primary function of the motherboard on a computer holds all hardware components and
other circuit boards inside the computer.
 The Operating System performs all the basic tasks like file, memory, and process management,
and controlling peripheral devices.
 When choosing between 32-bit or 64-bit operating system architecture, consider the amount of
memory or RAM you will use in your computer, the number of compatible applications that you
will install and run, the size of files that you will save on your computer hard disk drive.
 The function of the BIOS Setup Utility on a computer is to instruct the computer on how to
perform a number of basic functions such as booting and keyboard control.
 It is necessary to install device drivers on your computer after a clean OS installation to
ensure that devices connected inside and outside of the computer is recognized and functions
properly.
 The ping command is useful when testing the connection on a network because it is a simple
way to test if a computer can communicate with each other over the network.
 It is often recommended to check for physical causes first when diagnosing faulty computers
to avoid unnecessary disassembly and modification of the computer system.
 In a straight-through LAN cable, each of the smaller eight wires is connected to the same RJ45
pin on each end.
 In a cross-over cable, pin one goes to pin three, pin two goes to pin six.
 If your motherboard is GIGABYTE H270M-D3H DDR4 1151,DDR3,DVI-D,D-SUB,8CH,GLAN an
example of CPU and RAM combinations will work when installed on the motherboard is
CPU: INTEL CORE I7 7700 3.6 GHZ 8M CACHE LGA1151, RAM: KINGSTON 4GB HYPER-X FURY
DDR4 2400MHz
 Knowledge and skill of computer systems installation benefit you in your daily living,
because they provide the necessary work experiences, allow you to fix your computer
independently, and become an alternative source of income
 It is necessary to perform basic computer configuration after OS installation, to ensure that
the computer can function properly according to the client’s needs.
 Basic computer configuration is needed if for example, your computer doesn’t produce any
sound after installing the operating system.
 The simple steps to deals with hazards in the workplace: spot the hazard, assess the risk, make
the changes
 If your PC does not recognize or boot on a USB drive, configure BIOS to boot on USB drive if
a computer does not recognize a bootable USB drive.
 To check for physical connections when testing a computer network, check the link lights on
both the computer itself and the switch or router.
 To accomplish a Technical Report Form, write the name of the technician, date and time, device
tested and specs, diagnosis, action taken and remarks.
 The important parts in a computer’s hardware performance: the central processing unit, the
size of RAM and the size of the hard drive.
 When installing Windows OS, the main difference between Custom Installation and Upgrade
is that Upgrade updates your OS to a later version, while Custom allows more control in the
installation process.
 Some settings that are not usually accessible using the Control Panel: Boot Log, Base Video,
OS Boot Information.
 To ensure your computer running smoothly for a long time, regularly perform the maintenance
routine such as data backup, malware maintenance and disk maintenance.
 Most people confuse a modem with a router, since most modem nowadays have built-in
router function for both wired and wireless networks. The primary difference between them
is that a modem converts analog signals from DSL / telephone lines to digital and vice-versa, while
a router mainly allows sharing of the Internet connection among computers in a LAN.
 If you are going to install a computer network for a client, a totally wireless (Wi-Fi)
connections only depends on the size of the network and the existing network security policies in
the workplace.
 Solid state drives are a newer technology, but have progressed and became popular rapidly
because SSDs are lighter, use less energy, more durable, and deliver faster load times for file and
applications.
 When configuring computer systems for the first time, we really need to partition hard disks
because partitioning your hard disk helps categorize your files into logical groupings and it
provides better security.
 Diagnostic software programs that are better to use are built-in programs, because they were
specifically designed for your operating system and therefore will have the least chance to cause
errors to your computer.
 In LAN cabling, it is necessary to ensure that the small wires cut are not too long to ensure
there are no small wires exposed, because this can cause connection problems.
 To determine if your computer specifications matches the system requirements of a software,
check the central processing unit, the size of RAM and the size of the hard drive.
 To setup a simple network (wired) between two computers with Internet access, each
computer is connected to its own LAN cable, the other end connected to a router, and the router is
connected to the modem, which is then connected to the telephone line.
 To launch the utility for creating a bootable USB disk using command prompt, click Start,
type in cmd in the search text field, run command prompt as Administrator, then type “diskpart”.
 In testing installed equipment or devices, the very first thing that you should do is to make a
quick inspection of the exterior of the computer, monitor, keyboard, any other peripherals, and
cables.
 The quickest way to check for network connectivity is click Start, type cmd, type ping and the
IP Address of the target computer or server.
