What’s In
PERSONAL ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES
An entrepreneur creates a new business in the face of risk and uncertainty

for the purpose of achieving profit and growth by identifying opportunities and
assembling the necessary resources to capitalize on them (Kent 1995). For one to be
successful like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Henry Sy, Manuel Pangilinan,
Jack Ma and the like you must possess or acquire an entrepreneurial competency.
Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PEC’s) refers to the key

characteristics, qualities, skills, abilities, knowledge, and attitude that a successful
entrepreneur should have to be successful. These competencies of entrepreneurs, if
acquired at an earlier stage of the educational process, may lead to the development
or enhancement of the entrepreneurial inclinations especially in the food business.
Management System International Identified Ten (10) Entrepreneurial
Competencies Namely:
1. Opportunity seeking is the ability to spot and explore opportunities before
they become obvious. It starts by identifying an area of interest. Opportunities
1
always avail themselves but can only be seen and seized by someone whose
interest is in the field from where the opportunities sprout. Why are there a
lot of poor people? That is because they are “Passing Over Opportunities
Repeatedly”.
2. Persistence is what allows people to keep going, even if others decide to quit
and give up. It is the ability that drives you to go on no matter how tough and
challenging the obstacles may be.
3. Commitment to work contract is defined as the level of enthusiasm an
employee has towards his/her tasks assigned at a workplace. It is the feeling
of responsibility that a person has towards the goals, mission, and vision of
the organization he/she is associated with.
4. Demand for Quality and Efficiency is related to self-efficacy, the belief that
he/she is in control of his/her fate, which has been validated to be a strong
predictor of entrepreneurial intention.
5. Risk taking is our ability to correctly identify, evaluate, control, and monitor
the danger we are exposed to, and make a conscious decision to engage based
on the cost-benefit analysis. In life and business, we should take calculated
risks.
6. Goal setting. Experts define goal setting as the act of selecting a target or
objectives you wish to achieve for a specific period and the ways to achieve
these goals. When setting a goal, it should be SMART; specific, measurable,
attainable, realistic, and time-bounded.
7. Information seeking is the process or activity of obtaining information both
in human and technological contexts before making a conscious decision.
Information at hand may have a significant impact on decision outcomes.
Entrepreneurs do not like uncertainty or assumptions they get information
from experts, research, and clients.
8. Systematic planning and monitoring. Systematic means “in an orderly
way”. Planning is deciding what you are going to do, when do you want to do
it, and how you would like to do it. Monitoring on the other hand is checking
how far you are from the target and what adjustment must be made to redirect
actions towards the target.
9. Persuasion and networking are skills not everyone is good at. But successful
entrepreneurs have mastered the skill of influencing other people to follow
them, believe in their advocacy and buy the product or service they are selling
through effective and efficient persuasion.
10. Self-confidence belief in oneself and taking total responsibility for making
things happen is what self-confidence is all about.

PEC’S SCORE INTERPRETATION

The highest corrected score is 25 per PECs item. That is after you subtract the
correction factor from each PECS score. The closer you are to 25 means you are
strong in that particular PECs item. The average and median score is 12.5. A score
below 12.5 means a challenge or opportunity for improvement in that particular
PECs item. A below-average score calls for a change of behavioral pattern.
Marking on the extreme left side (below 12) requires self-reflection and figuring
out changes needed to improve one’s personality. The PECs profile is dynamic,
meaning it is not set in stone and whatever challenges you may have could still be
improved on. Your PECs profile will be technically progressive once these challenges
are faced with self-confidence and are aligned to your business plan. In a larger
sense, a winning personality is considered a key factor whether you are fit to start or
maintain a business.
What I Can Do
Directions: Answer the following the following questions on a separate sheet of

What’s In
NEEDS AND WANTS
Understanding the economic theory of needs and wants is important before
engaging in any profit and non-profit undertakings. Businesses ought to understand
their customers’ needs and wants if they want to remain successful in a competitive
marketplace.
It is important to note that the main goal of needs analysis is to identify the
underlying issues that affect performance and provide the appropriate training as a
solution. An effective needs analysis also identifies the company’s role in the
employees’ performance and productivity problems that are not training-related,
such as ineffective standard operating procedures (S.O.Ps.), usability of applications
and tools, outdated equipment, company policies, and others. While these issues
may not involve training, needs analysis helps bring them to light in order to help
upper management bridge and address the situation from their end.
What’s New
MASLOWS HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs suggests that people are motivated to fulfill their
basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs. The four lower levels
are grouped as physiological needs,
while the top-level are psychological
or growth needs.
The lowest levels of needs in
Maslow’s theory are things that you
cannot live without. These include
basic commodities for
consumption, clothing, and other
personal belongings, shelter,
sanitation, health, and education.
Wants, or emotional needs
on the other hand are desires or
cravings that consumers
experience. Joy, relief, security,
adventure, and comfort are among
the common emotions that drive
buying decisions.
Emotional pulls can carry significant weight in buying decisions, especially
when a buyer is seeking to address a want or desire. Marketers invest significantly
in research and promotion to understand the emotions buyers experience and to
communicate benefits that appeal to customers. Therefore, if you are conceptualizing
or generating a business idea, consider the needs and wants of your potential
market.
GENERATING BUSINESS IDEAS

Starting a business is not an easy job. It may sound so tempting but it takes
a lot of work and planning. The effort and the money it takes to start a business may
be lost if you do not start the right business which starts with a good description of
your business idea.
A business idea is a short and precise description of the basic operation of the
intended business. Before you start a business, you need to have a clear idea of the
sort of business you want to run. Your business idea will tell you:
10
• Which need will your business fulfill for the customers and what kind of
customers will you attract?
• What good or service will your business sell?
• Who will your business sell to?
• How is your business going to sell its goods or services?
• How much will your business depend upon and impact the environment?
WAYS GENERATE POSSIBLE IDEAS FOR BUSINESS

1. Examine existing goods and services. Are you satisfied with the product? What
do other people who use the product say about it? How can it be improved?
2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to what the customers,
institutions, and communities are missing in terms of goods and services.
Sometimes, these needs are already obvious and felt now. Other needs are not
that obvious because they can only be felt in the future, in the event of certain
developments in the community.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the products and services
are referred to as market demand. To satisfy these needs is to supply the products
and services that meet the demands of the market.
4. Examine the available resources around you. Observe what materials or skills are
available in abundance in your area. A business can commence from any
available raw materials by selling them in raw form and by processing and
manufacturing them into finished products.
5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications on new products and
techniques or advances in technology. You can pick up new business ideas from
Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, Business Magazines, Go Negosyo, KAB materials,
Small- industry Journal. The Internet serves as a library where you may browse
and surf possible businesses. It will also guide you on how to put the right
product in the right place, at the right price, at the right time.

Marcus and Chris are best friends who attend high school together. Marcus
is a Grade 10 student who frequently gives Chris advice on school and finances —
for better or worse. Chris is nervous because he is taking his AP class, World History,
and periodic exam is coming up. A large part of his class grade will be determined by
this test and he cannot afford to fail. His parents gave him P1000 to spend on study
aids or a tutor.
Marcus already took AP World History and passed the AP Exam with flying
colors, scoring a 45/50. Marcus assures Chris that he will be fine and asks his friend
to ditch studying this weekend to go camping. The camping trip would cost
P1000.Chris looked online for additional study materials and found an official study
guide for P200. An ‘A’ student in the class also offered to tutor him this weekend for
P300.
Chris knows he needs all the help he can get, and that doing well in AP courses
will help his class stand and look good on his senior high school applications. But
Marcus assures him the periodic exam is easy and the camping trip will be worth it.
What should he do this weekend?
1. What are the needs and wants of Chris’s?
2. What decision would you make and why?
3. How did you come up with that decision?

This is a big year for Nayeon — she recently started Grade 10. To celebrate,
her parents are giving her a larger allowance of P1000 each week. Nayeon rides her
bike to and from school, eats the lunch her mother packs for her (she secretly buys
P65 milktea every Friday), and spends most of her free time with friends.
Nayeon’s crew regularly spends Saturday at the mall eating lunch at the food
court and playing in World of Fun afterwards. Lunch usually costs Nayeon P60 and
the World of Fun coins is P50. At the end of each week, Nayeon can put at least P100
in her savings. While biking home from school one day, Nayeon realizes her bike is
close to breaking. She needs a new bike to get to work after school and found one on
Shopee for P3000. However, she only has P1800 in her savings and will need to buy
a replacement bike in the next two weeks. She isn’t sure what she should do.
1. What are the needs and wants of Nayeon?
2. If you are Nayeon, what decision would you make and why?

What’s New
Product Development is the lifeblood of businesses and societies. The
product could be a physical product such as a smartphone, computer, coffee maker
etcetera. It could also be services such as a new IT solution, new manufacturing
process, or a new real estate marketing concept. When we talk of product
development, we are referring to the process of making a new product to be sold by
a business or enterprise to its customers. Product development may involve
modification of an existing product or its presentation, or formulation of an entirely
new product that satisfies a newly defined customer’s needs, wants and/or a
marketplace.
Improving existing products is an efficient method for product development.
It is not as expensive as creating a new product because a lot of the time and
resources were already devoted to creating the original product. The technology
industry is well known for this. Think about the latest version of your smartphone
or desktop operating system; the foundation was created in a previous version.
Sometimes there are 10 previous versions, each building on the one before.
There are basic, yet vital questions that you can ask yourself about product
development. When you find acceptable answers to them, you may now say that you
are ready to develop a product and/or render services. These questions include the
following:
1. For whom are the product/services aimed at?
2. What benefit will the customers expect from product/service?
3. How will the product/service differ from the existing brand? From its
competitor?
What’s More
CONCEPTS OF DEVELOPING A PRODUCT
SELECTING A BUSINESS IDEA

1. Examine existing goods and services. Are you satisfied with the product?
What do other people who use the product say about it? How can it be
improved?
14
2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to what the
customers, institutions, and communities are missing in terms of goods and
services.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the products and
services are referred to as market demand.
4. Examine the available resources. Observe what materials or skills are
available in abundance in your area.
5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications on new products
and techniques or advances in technology. You can pick up new business
ideas from magazines such as Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, Business
Magazines, “Go Negosyo”, Know About Business (KAB) materials, and Small-
Industry Journal.
KEY CONCEPTS OF SELECTING A BUSINESS IDEA

1. Where should the business be located?
2. How much capital is needed to put up the business?
3. Is the business in line with your interest and expertise?
4. Do you have the background and experiences needed to run this business?
5. Will the business be legal and not against any existing or foreseeable
government regulation?
6. How big is the demand for the product? Do many people need this product
and will continue to need it for a long time?
7. How is the demand met? Who are processing the products to meet the needs
(competition or demand)? How much of the need is now being met (supply)?
BRANDING
Branding is the marketing practice of creating a name, a symbol or design
that identifies and differentiates product or services from the rest. It is also a promise
to your customers. It tells them what they can expect from your product or service
and it differentiates your offerings from other competitors. Your brand is derived from
who you are, who you want to be and what people perceive you to be.
• Sustain a brand quality. Deliver a promise of quality through your brand.
• Write a brand message. Select a key message to communicate about your brand.
• Practice consistency. Be reliable and consistent with what your brand means
in your business
• Design a logo. Create a logo symbolic of your business and consistent with your
tagline and displace it strategically.
• Develop a tagline. Write a statement that is meaningful, impressive, and easy to
remember to capture the essence of your brand.

What’s New
Computers are complex machines, with much of the processing and work
being done at a microscopic level. Just like the human body, computers are made
with several components categorized into three (3) namely: hardware, software and
liveware.
MAJOR COMPONENTS OF COMPUTER SYSTEM

Software is a set of instructions or programs which instruct the computer to
perform a particular task at a specific time. Unlike hardware, the software cannot be
touched but works in the system. There are two classifications of software: the
system software, and the application software.
Peopleware is otherwise known as liveware or humanware. It refers to the role
that people play in the development and use of computer technology. It can include
various aspects of the process such as human interaction, programming,
productivity, teamwork, and project management.
Hardware is the internal and external physical parts of a computer and other
related devices that can be touch. Examples of these are motherboards, hard drives,
monitors, keyboards, printers, and the like.
Among the three major components, computer system servicing will dig deeper
into designing, configuring, installing and maintaining hardware components.
What’s More
PARTS OF THE CORE COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
Power supply, PS, P/S, or PSU (power supply
unit) is a hardware component of a computer that
supplies all other components with power. The power
supply converts a 110-115 or 220-230-volt AC (alternating
current) into a steady low voltage DC (direct current)
usable by the computer and rated by the number of watts
it generates.
Parts of the power supply includes the following:
POWER SUPPLY transformer, rectifier, filter and regulator.
18
Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the heart and
brain of any digital computer system because all
peripheral devices and auxiliary storage units are linked
to it.
The CPU is generally composed of the
main memory, control unit, and arithmetic-logic unit
(ALU). It is contained in an integrated circuit chip called
a microprocessor. It is usually the most expensive part of
CPU the computer system.
Motherboard is the main circuit board of the

MOTHERBOARD computer, also known as the logic board. It is the
foundation of a computer that allocates power and allows
communication to and between the CPU, RAM, and all
other computer hardware components such as the input,
output and storage devices.
Each motherboard has a collection of chips and
controllers known as the chipsets. The north bridge
chipset is in charge of controlling transfers between the
processor and the RAM, which is why it is located
physically near the processor. It is sometimes called the
GMCH, or graphic and memory controller hub.
The south bridge chipset on the other hand,
(also called the input/output controller or expansion
controller) handles communications between slower
peripheral devices such as USB, audio, serial, the
system BIOS, the ISA bus, the interrupt controller and
the IDE channels. It is also called the ICH (I/O Controller
Hub).
PARTS OF THE MOTHERBOARD

1. Input /Output Ports – this is located in the rear panel of the CPU and is use
to connect hardware or peripherals of the computer. These include PS2 ports,
DB male connector, DB 25 female connector, VGA, USB, LAN, and audio
ports.
2. ATX Power Connector (4 pin) – this is use to connect the 4 pins of the power
supply unit.
3. Processor’s ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket – this is use to hold the CPU
chip.
4. CMOS/BIOS BATTERY – is use to preserve the BIOS settings of the computer
such as the time module, hardware information and settings/parameters.
CMOS – Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
BIOS – Basic Input / Output System
5. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) – is use to connect the IDE cable of the HDD
(Hard Disk Drive) or the CD/DVD ROM to the motherboard IDE.
6. Front Panel Connectors (F-Panel) – is use to connect the power LED, HDD,
LED power switch and reset switch of the computer system unit.
7. SATA (Serial Advance Technology Attachment) – it is the new standard
array of the computer HDD to the motherboard.
8. CMOS/BIOS JUMPER – is use to disable the BIOS default setup.
19
9. USB Connector - this is use to connect the USB port of the front panel USB
2.0 x 2 port.
10. PCI Slots – is use to connect the I/O cards of the computer such as LAN
card, WIFI card, USB expansion card and sound card.
11. AMR (Audio Modem Riser) Slot – this is use to demodulate the analog
audio of the computer.
12. North Bridge – is technically known as the Graphics and Memory
Controller Hub (GMCH). It is connected directly to the CPU via the front-
side bus (FSB) and is responsible for tasks that require the highest
performance.
13. South Bridge – is an integrated circuit on the motherboard responsible for
hard drive, input / output, and integrated hardware control.

What’s New
According to Tim Fisher (2019), “A computer peripheral is an auxiliary device
that connects to and works with the computer to either put information into it or get
information out of it.” These devices should be installed and configured to expand
the capabilities of computers; otherwise, it would be no more than a box with wires
inside.
The word peripheral usually refers to devices external to a computer.
However, devices that are not part of the core computer architecture, namely the
motherboard, the central processing unit, and the power supply, are technically
called peripherals too.
Computer peripherals are classified according to functions such as input
devices, output devices, and storage devices, and according to the location such as
internal peripherals, external peripherals, and auxiliary components or input/output
devices.
An input device is a piece of hardware that sends data to a computer,
allowing you to interact, control, and process it. An output device, on the other
hand, is a peripheral that receives data from a computer and translates that data
23
into another form such as an audiovisual (video & photographs), textual, and printed
materials. In addition, storage devices keep or store the recorded and processed
data temporarily or permanently, depending on the user.
What’s More
TYPES OF INPUT DEVICES
Input devices are important because they allow you to interact and add new
information to a computer. For example, if a computer had no input devices, it could
run by itself, but there would be no other ways to change its settings, fix errors, or
other various user interactions. Here are examples of input devices.
1. Audio conversion device 18. Microphone
2. Barcode reader 19. Mouse/mice
3. Biometrics 20. Musical Instrument Digital
4. Business card reader Interface (MIDI) Keyboard
5. Digital camera and digital camcorder 21. Optical Mark Reader
6. Electroencephalography (EEG) 22. Paddle
7. Finger (for touch screen devices) 23. Pen or Stylus
8. Gamepad 24. Punch card reader
9. Gesture recognition (Microsoft Kinect) 25. Remote scanner
10. Graphics tablet 26. Sensors
11. Joystick 27. Steering wheel
12. Keyboard 28. Touch pad
13. Light gun 29. Touch screen
14. Light pen 30. Virtual helmet and gloves
15. Magnetic Ink Character Recognition 31. Voice
16. Magnetic stripe reader 32. Webcam
17. Medical imaging devices 33. Yoke
(X-ray CAT scan and ultrasound images)
TYPES OF OUTPUT DEVICES
A computer can still work without an output device. However, you would have no
means of determining what the computer is doing. By using an output device, you
can view and get the results of input from a computer. Here are some of the output
devices available in the market.
1. 3D Printer 9. Monitor
2. Braille embosser 10. Plotter
3. Braille reader 11. Printer (dot matrix, inkjet and
tarpaulin)
4. COM (Computer Output Microfilm) 12. Projector
5. Flat-panel 13. Speech Generating Device
6. GPS 14. Sound and video Card
7. Headphones 15. Speakers
8. Earphones 16. TV
TYPES OF STORAGE DEVICES

A storage device is a hardware that is used for storing, porting, and extracting
data files and objects. It can hold and store information both temporarily and
permanently and can be internal or external to a computer, server, or any similar
24
computing device. A storage device may also be known as a storage medium or
storage media.
Data storage is one of the basic yet vital functions of a computer. The concept
of storage itself is defined by a hierarchy of five levels: primary storage, secondary
storage, tertiary storage, offline, and cloud storage. The computer system
assigned alphabet letters as identifiers of storage devices. For example, the letter C
is for the first hard drive, D is for CD/DVD, E is for storage devices inserted in USB
ports, and F is for storage in card reader ports.
PRIMARY STORAGE
Primary storage is simply known as memory, which can either
be volatile or non-volatile. Volatile memory such as RAM loses data as soon as the
power of the device is lost, while non-volatile storage saves, retrieves, and autosaves
information even after you accidentally turned the computer off.
Examples of Primary Storage Devices
1. ROM (Read Only Memory) – is a storage medium that contains programming

needed to start a pc or appliances it performs major input/output tasks. It is
a non-volatile storage that contains the software or firmware.
2. RAM (Random Access Memory) – is a volatile storage device that temporarily
saves data, programs, and applications so that the processor can readily
access them during work; it also reads and writes fast.
Types of RAM
A. Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) - is used for most systems
because it is cheap and small. It must continually be refreshed to maintain
the data.
B. Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) - is used to create the CPU's speed-
sensitive cache. It is more expensive than DRAM. It retains the data if
power is provided.
C. Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) - is used to create the CPU's speed-
sensitive cache. It is more expensive than DRAM. It retains the data if
power is provided.
Secondary Storage
A secondary storage device is about two orders of magnitude cheaper than primary
storage. It is otherwise known as external memory, secondary memory, and auxiliary
storage. It is a non-volatile device that holds data until it is deleted or over-written.
Examples of which are as follows:
1. CD-RW 5. SD Card
2. RW-DVD 6. Solid State Drive
3. Floppy diskette 7. Tape Drive
4. Hard Disk Drive 8. USB Thumb Drive
Tertiary Storage
Tertiary storage is perceived as a specialized type of network-attached storage
(NAS) used for archiving data and files at a low cost. It is a level below secondary
storage in terms of speed in reading and writing. Examples are WORM (Write Once
Read Many) disks and Tape Drives.
25
Cloud Storage
Cloud storage is a remote platform that uses a highly virtualized, multi-tenant
infrastructure to provide users with scalable storage resources that can be
provisioned dynamically depending on the subscription paid by the user. However,
some offer it for free but with limited data capacity. Data in cloud storage can be
accessed, edited, and shared online. Here are some of the available cloud storage for
2020.
1. Amazon Drive 7. icedrive 13. One Drive
2. Box 8. iCloud 14. pCloud
3. Certain Safe 9. iDrive 15. Ready Space
4. Dropbox 10. Mega 16. Sugar Sync
5. Google Drive 11. Nextcloud 17. zoolz

What I Have Learned

Computers are important, especially during this time of the pandemic. We
can communicate constantly with our loved ones, work remotely from home, and
minimize the spread of the virus through massive information dissemination on
proper hygiene and safety. But come to think of it, without peripheral devices
attached to the computer, it would be no more than a box with wires inside.
Peripheral devices, which include input/output and storage devices,
maximize and expand computer capabilities to meet the demand of time for fast
and immersive technology.
Input, output, and storage devices vary on price and specifications in terms
of speed, compatibility with system core components, capacity, convenience,
durability, portability, and functionality.

What is It?
STEPS IN ASSEMBLING A BASIC DESKTOP COMPUTER
Step 1: Prepare the Case for Assembly
Three things need to be done before assembly begins:
29
• Remove any parts or packaging materials that
may have been shipped inside the case.
• Remove the cover for the optical drive. On our
case, we will be removing the cover on the highest
drive bay to mount our DVD drive. Do this by
pressing in the retaining tabs.
• Make note of the cables pre-installed in the case.
These should be front panel connections for
features such as the power switch, audio jacks and
usb ports. If they are not labeled, consult the
manufacturer’s documentation and label them
yourself now before other parts are installed in the
case.
Step 2: Ground Yourself

Put the grounding strap on your wrist and connect the other end to the
computer case. If your strap is not equipped with a clip to hook to the case, find a
place to wedge against the metal. This will prevent any buildup of static electricity
on your body from damaging the computer components. Caution: Static electricity
can ruin computer components. Always wear a grounding strap when handling any
internal components.
Step 3: Open the Case

Open the computer case by removing the
side panels. Find the screws that hold the side
panels in place and remove them. The panel is
removed by first sliding it back then lifting it away
from the case. Warning: Case may have sharp
edges. Handle with care to avoid injury
Step 4: Install Motherboard

To install the motherboard, we need parts that should have been included
with your purchased components:
30
• I/O Bezel is a trim panel installed in
the back of the case that surrounds
the interface ports on the
motherboard. It should be included
with the motherboard. Figure 12
shows the contents of the
motherboard box.
• Standoffs are installed in the case

screw holes to create a riser that
separates the case and motherboard.
The screws install into the standoffs as shown in figure 13. Screws and
standoffs should be included with the case, but it is a good idea to order these
items just in case they aren't included.
Follow these steps to install the motherboard in the case:

1. Install the I/O bezel plate into the opening in the back of the case (figure
14). It pushes in from the inside.
2. Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw into the motherboard
mounting holes. Check the screw hole locations on the motherboard for
exact placement.
3. Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O bezel.
4. Install the screws. To prevent damage to the motherboard it must only
contact the standoffs and screws.
Step 5: Install Hard Drive
The hard drive is the device that stores all of your data. It is 3.5" wide and
needs to be mounted so that you can gain access to the cable connections on the
back. If that is not possible you may need to connect cables before you install the
drive.
To mount the drive:

1. Find a 3.5" drive bay to install the drive in. If you have trouble finding a
place to mount the drive consult your case documentation for suggestions.
2. Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides are lined up
with the holes in the case.
3. Install the screws.
Step 6: Install Optical Drive

The optical drive is 5.25" wide and is installed in the drive bay that we removed
the cover from in a previous step. Cable access considerations apply to this drive
also.
31
To install the drive:
1. Slide the drive into the drive bay until the
screw holes are lined up and the front of the
drive is flush with the front of the case.
2. Make sure that it is orientated correctly.
Step 7: Install the CPU

The CPU is the brain of the computer. To install the CPU, do the following:
1. Find the corner marking that designates pin 1 of
the CPU. On this AMD brand processor, the corner
is marked with an arrow. Consult the
manufacturer's documentation for specific
information about your processor.
2. Lift the small metal rod next to the socket.
3. Find the corresponding marking on the CPU
socket and insert the CPU so that the markings
are lined up.
4. Push the rod down to lock the processor in place.
Step 8: Install RAM

1. Set the RAM board in the socket. Check to see that
the notch in the board is in the correct location. If
it is not, turn it around 180º.
2. Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into
the socket. Make sure the tabs lock into place.
Caution: Pressing the boards in when the tab is
not aligned could cause damage to the RAM
boards as well as the motherboard.
Step 9: Install the CPU Fan

The CPU fan is really a combination of a heat sink and fan together. The unit
draws heat away from the CPU. To install the fan:
1. Place thermal compound to the CPU following the instructions provided
with the compound.
2. Set the fan assembly on the CPU with mounting tabs aligned.
3. Pull the locking rod down on the fan assembly to lock into place.
4. Connect the fan assembly's power connector to the motherboard. Consult
the manual to determine proper placement. Caution: Failure to apply
thermal compound will result in insufficient cooling and will cause damage
to the CPU and/or motherboard.
Step 10: Install Case Fan

The case fan is usually installed on the back panel of the
case. If the fan mount is not obvious consult the case
documentation.
To mount the fan:
1. Align the mounting holes by holding the fan to the
mounting pad on the inside of the case. The fan needs
to be mounted so that it blows air out of the case.
2. Insert the screws from the outside of the case and
tighten.
32
Step 11: Install Power Supply
1. Align the mounting holes in the case and power
supply.
2. Insert screws and tighten.
Step 12: Connect Cables

With all of the components installed in the case, the
jungle of wires can be daunting.
It is important to consult the motherboard manual in
order to make sure proper connections are made. There
are two kinds of connections, power and data.
• Every device that has been installed needs power. The
motherboard has two power connections, and there are
two connectors specifically for SATA devices (drives). The
other connectors will run fans and other non-SATA
devices.
• Data cables connect drives and front panel devices to
the motherboard. Please consult the motherboard
documentation for the exact placement of connectors.
Warning: Incorrect connections can damage components and cause body
injury.
Step 13: Wrap-up

Now that the components are completely installed, the
last thing to do is to reinstall the side panels on the case. The
computer is now ready to be turned on and to have software
loaded on it. If the computer has problems starting up, check all
component connections and mounting to make sure that you
have hooked everything up correctly. Consult individual
component manuals for specific troubleshooting information if
problems persist.

What’s New
POST and BIOS CONFIGURATION
A power-on self-test is a process performed by

firmware or software routines immediately after a
computer or other digital electronic device is powered
on.
Short for power-on self-test, the POST is a
test the computer must complete verifying all
hardware is working properly before starting the
remainder of the boot process. The POST process
checks computer hardware, like RAM (random
access memory), hard drive, CD-ROM DRIVE,
keyboard, etc., to make sure all are working
correctly.
If all hardware passes the POST, the computer continues the boot up process
and may generate a single beep sound as well. If POST is unsuccessful, it generates
a beep code to indicate the error encountered and the computer will not boot up. All
POST errors are relating to hardware issues with one of the components in the
computer
BIOS- Basic Input/output System, the BIOS (pronounced bye-oss) is
a ROM chip found on motherboard that allows you to access and set up your
computer system at the most basic level. The picture below is an example of what a
BIOS chip may look like on a computer motherboard.
36
What Is It
BIOS or CMOS Set Up
Every computer provides a way to enter the BIOS or CMOS setup. Below is a
listing of many common methods for accessing your computer's BIOS setup, and
recommendations if you're having trouble.
The details for your computer may be unique. If you're not sure, consult the
owner's manual for your computer, or for your motherboard if the computer is
custom-built.
New computers
• Computers manufactured in the last few years allow you to enter the BIOS setup
using one of the five keys shown below during the boot process: F1, F2, F10, Del,
and Esc.
• F1, F2, and F10 are all function keys on the top of the keyboard. If pressing F2
opens a diagnostic tool, your setup key is likely F10, it also used for the boot
menu. If F10 opens a boot menu, your setup key is likely F2.
• Setup keys are to be pressed as the computer is booting up. Some older
computers may also display a flashing block to indicate when to press the F1 or
F2 keys. Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup.
• If you're unsure of what key to press, as the computer boots try pressing and
holding one or more keys on the keyboard to cause a stuck key error. Once you
get this error, the option to continue or enter setup should appear.
• If you are still unable to enter the BIOS using the methods listed above, check
the motherboard's manual for the appropriate key to enter BIOS. Documentation
for the motherboard may also be on the manufacturer's website.
• Once you have successfully entered the CMOS setup. Your CMOS setup may look
different, depending on the manufacturer, but should still share a lot of the same
options and information.
CHANGE AND SAVE CHANGES IN CMOS SETUP
The method for changing the

settings of CMOS often depends on the
BIOS manufacturer. You may use
the arrow keys along with the Enter key
to select categories and change their
values. Some manufacturers may have
you press the page up and page
down keys to change the values.
All manufacturers show which keys
navigate on the bottom or right side of
the screen.
If you're trying to change the
clock, speed, or other settings and don't
have the option available, it's because
the motherboard doesn't support it. If
you believe it should be supported, you
may need a BIOS update.
37
If changes you made appear to revert to default settings or the date and time
setting in the BIOS keeps falling behind, you may need to replace the CMOS
battery.
How do I save the changes?

If any changes are made, you need to save those changes, which is usually
done by pressing the F10 key on the keyboard. If F10 doesn't work, look at the bottom
or top of the screen for the key that's used to save the settings.
Power-On Self-Test (POST)

The system BIOS provides a rudimentary power-on self-test. The basic devices
required for the server to operate are checked, memory is tested, the disk controller
and attached disks are probed and enumerated, and the two Intel dual Gigabit
Ethernet controllers are initialized.
The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes. These

codes are displayed at the bottom right corner of the system’s VGA screen (once the
self-test has progressed far enough to initialize the system video). However, the codes
are displayed as the self-test runs and scroll off of the screen too quickly to be read.
An alternate method of displaying the POST codes is to redirect the output of the
console to a serial port.
How does BIOS POST Memory Testing Work?
The BIOS POST memory testing is performed as follows:

1. The first megabyte of DRAM is tested by the BIOS before the BIOS code is
shadowed (that is, copied from ROM to DRAM).
2. Once executing out of DRAM, the BIOS performs a simple memory test (a
write-read of every location with the pattern 55aa55aa). Remember
enabling quick boot causes the BIOS to skip the memory test.
3. The BIOS polls the memory controllers for both correctable and
uncorrectable memory errors and logs.
Redirecting Console Output

1. Initialize the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is
performing the power-on self-test (POST)
2. Select the advanced menu tab.
3. Select IPMI 2.0 Configuration.
4. Select the LAN Configuration menu item.
5. Configure the service processor’s IP address (optional):
a. Select the IP Assignment option that you want to use (DHCP or
Static). If you choose DHCP, the server’s IP address is retrieved from
your network’s DHCP server and displayed using the following
format: current IP address in BMC: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
b. If you choose Static to assign the IP address manually, perform the
following steps:
1. Type the IP address in the IP Address field.
2. You can also enter the subnet mask and default gateway
settings in their respective fields.
3. Select Commit and press Return to commit the changes.
4. Select Refresh and press Return to see your new settings
displayed in the Current IP address in BMC field.
6. Start a web browser and type the service processor’s IP address in the
browser’s URL field.
38
7. When you are prompted for a user name and password, type the following:
User Name: root
Password: password
8. Click the Remote-Control tab.
9. Click the Redirection tab.
10. Set the color depth for the redirection console at either 6 or 8 bits.Click the
Start Redirection button.
11. When you are prompted for a user name and password, type the following:
User Name: root
Password: password
Changing POST Options

1. Initialize the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is
performing the power-on self-test (POST).
2. Select Boot.
3. Select Boot Settings Configuration.
4. On the Boot Settings Configuration screen, there are several options that
you can enable or disable:
▪ Quick Boot - This option is disabled by default. If you enable this option, the
BIOS skips certain tests while booting, such as the extensive memory test. This
action decreases the time it takes for the system to boot.
▪ Quiet Boot - This option is disabled by default. If you enable this option, the logo
is displayed instead of POST codes.
▪ Add on ROM Display Mode - This option is set to Force BIOS by default. It will
effect only if you have also enabled the Quiet Boot option, but this option controls
whether output from the Option ROM is displayed.
▪ Force BIOS - Remove the logo and display Option ROM output.
▪ Keep Current - Do not remove the logo. The Option ROM output is not displayed.
▪ Boot Num-Lock - This option is on by default (keyboard Num-Lock is turned on
during boot). If you set this to off, the keyboard Num-Lock is not turned on during
boot.
▪ Wait for F1 if Error - This option is disabled by default. If you enable this option,
the system will pause if an error is found during POST and will only resume when
you press the F1 key.
▪ Interrupt 19 Capture - This option is reserved for future use. Do not change.
▪ Default Boot Order - The letters in the brackets represent the boot devices. To
see the letters defined, position your cursor over the field and read the definition
in the right side of the screen.
