INSTALL NETWORK CABLES

LESSON 2. INSTALL EQUIPMENTS / DEVICES AND SYSTEMS

This lesson is designed to give you the proper procedures used in installing devices and
operating system of a personal computer, alongside with it is the basic computer configuration set up.
At the end of this lesson you should be able to apply OHS procedures in installing devices, systems,
networking devices, and peripherals;

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment - It refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other
gear designed to protect the wearer's body or clothing from injury by electrical hazards, heat,
chemicals, and infection, for job-related occupational safety and health purposes.
PPE can also be used to protect the working environment from pesticide application, pollution
or infection from the worker (for example in a microchip factory).
It is important that students and teachers during their laboratory period should be required to
use personal protective equipment. Some of these are:

Goggles A large spectacles, with shields

around the rims, for protecting the eyes from
dust, excessive light, wind, etc.

Rubber Sole A special type of shoes used

to prevent electrical shock and for
waterproofing and insulating purposes.

Apron A garment worn over the front of the

body as a protection for one’s cloth.

Face Mask A covering for the face to

prevent the inhaling or absorbing dust and
other chemicals

Gloves The covering material with a

separate sheath for each finger used for
hand protection.

ANTI-STATIC AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The little shock you experience while you are walking across a carpeted floor or when you
touched a door knob, table, counter or even another person is a result of static electricity. Static
electricity is the discharge of electricity between two objects with different electrical potential. Humans
can't feel a static shock until it is several thousand volts strong, but it takes less than 30 volts to fry a
sensitive computer component, such as a stick of RAM or a processor.
That's why computer technicians and home computer builders have to guard their computers
against the deadly ravages of static electricity, as well as take steps to avoid injury.

Safety and Anti-Static Rules

 Always use an anti-static wrist strap when working on a computer (except when working on
monitors)
 Always disconnect a computer from the AC power and from any powered peripherals while
you are working on it.
 Always grasp a metal part of the computer chassis with your bare hand before you touch
anything inside. Do this even if you are wearing an anti-static wristband.
 Always handle electronic components by a non-conducting (non-metallic) edge. Don't touch
the pins or other connectors.
 Never plug an ATX power supply into AC power unless it is connected either to a computer's
motherboard or to a dummy test load.
 Always use a UL-approved surge protector or an Uninterruptible Power Supply that
incorporates surge and spike protection.
 Never eat, drink, or smoke while working on a computer.

electronic equipment, to prevent the buildup of static electricity on their body, which
can result in electrostatic discharge (ESD).

garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection. The
hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals,
biohazards, and airborne particulate matter.

2. Inspect PPE before and after each use, take care of PPE at all times, clean all PPE after use,
repair or replace damaged or broken PPE, store PPE in clean dry air free from
exposure to sunlight or contaminants.
