Always power off and unplug the computer before working on it.
Take off any metal objects on your arms or fingers such as bracelets,
rings or watches. Even if your unit is unplugged, there may still be
some remaining electric charge.
Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the
computer.
Be careful with the tools that may cause short circuit (such as screw
drivers).
Handle all parts with care. Place each piece you remove carefully
down onto a stable surface, if a component does not come out easily,
do not use excessive force if things don’t quite slip into place or when
you’re removing it. Instead, check if you are removing it correctly and
no wires still connected in the hardware.
Always full the cable connector on the handle and not on the cable
itself
Be sure you’re standing in a dry place and use only rubber shoes
when standing on the ground or in concrete floor.’
Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable
connector.
Take away any liquid such as water or drinks near your working area
or near computers, the three of the most damaging things to a
computer are moisture, shock and dust.
Personal protective equipment is correctly used in accordance with
organizations OHS procedures and practice.
Hazards or risks in the workplace and their corresponding indicators
are identified to minimize or eliminate risk to co-workers, workplace
and environment.
Take necessary precautions to protect the component of the computer
from damaged cause y Electronics Discharge (ESD)
Hold the components by edges and do not touch the IC’s.

The little shock you experience while you are walking across a
carpeted floor or when you touch 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 stick of RAM or a processor.

system aspects like the data and time,
Open start
Templates Developed
by:
NTTA Revision # 01
If your computer is locked, click the lock screen, then click the power
icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen and click restart.
Its best to start pressing the setup key as soon as the computer
begins to restart.
STEP 3: Press and hold DEL or F2 to enter setup. The key you’re
prompted to press might also be different; if so, use that key instead
You’ll typically use the “F” keys to access the BIOS. These are at the
top of your keyboard, though you nay have to locate and hold me Fn
key while pressing the “F” key.
Templates Developed
by:
NTTA Revision # 01
You can look at your computer model’s manual or online support page
to confirm your computer’s BIOS key.
STEP: 4 Wait for your BIOS to load. After successfully hitting the
setup key, the BIOS will load. This should only take a few moments.
When the loading is complete, you will be taken to the BIOS settings
menu.
Adjust settings
Familiarize yourself with the BIOS controls. Since BIOS menus don’t
support mouse input, you’ll need to use the arrow keys and other
computer-specific keys to navigate the BIOS. You can usually find a
list of controls in the bottom-right corner of the BIOS homepage.
If you don’t know what you want to change coming into the BIOS, you
probably shouldn’t change anything.
Templates Developed
by:
NTTA Revision # 01
Change the boot order. If you want to change device to boot from,
enter the BOOT menu. From here, you can designate which device the
computer will attempt to boot from first. This is useful for booting
from a disc or flash drive to install or repair an operating system.
You’ll typically use the arrow keys to go over to the BOOT tab to start
this process.
Create a BIOS password. You can create a password that will lock the
computer from booting unless the correct password is entered.
Change your day and time. Your BIOS’s clock will dictate your
Windows clock. If you replace your computer’s battery, your BIOS
clock will most likely be reset.
Change fan speeds and system voltages. These options are for
advanced users only. In this menu, you can overclock your CPU,
potentially allowing for higher performance. This should be performed
only if you are comfortable with your computer’s hardware.

Save and exit. When you are finished adjusting your settings, you
will need to save and exit by using your BIOS “save and exit” key in
order for your changes to take effect. When you save and restart, your
computer will reboot with the new settings.
1. Check the BIOS key legend to see which key is the “Save and exit”
key.

and equipment to be used. Another is the breakdown of
equipment to be used. To solve such events, one must make
sure that all materials and equipment are available before
the start of the installation and to have spare parts as a
contingency measure when something breaks down.
2. What should you do if you accidentally bend a CPU pin
while installing it onto the motherboard?
Answer: If you accidentally bend a CPU pin, you should
stop the installation process immediately. Using a fine pair
of tweezers or a mechanical pencil, gently try to straighten
the bent pin. Be very careful and avoid applying too much
pressure. If you are unable to fix it yourself, seek help from
a professional technician or contact the CPU manufacturer
for guidance.
Job Role/Environment Questions
What is the importance of checking the quality of on-going
work? Answer: Once all peripherals are connected properly,
have a final inspection by visually checking for loose
connection or improper connection. Once the system unit
connections are thoroughly checked and verified, connect the
keyboard; the monitor, and the power connector then power
up the computer. This initial powering up of the computer
while the side cover is open ensures us that everything is ok
before putting back the side cover. In case something goes
wrong, we can accessibly, correct the problem right away.
2. What skills and qualifications are required to become a
computer hardware assembly technician?
