I have been exposed in different areas of study such as assembling, installation and

configuration of Communication equipments like LAN, Server, internet broadband modem andperforming both preventive and corrective computer maintenance. was my first thing and alsomajor during my training / learning. But I did it nicely after learning it through internet, also got

assisted with ICTs SENIOR SUPERVISOR. The practice I made during the IPTR, I call

myself as ENGINEER OF COMPUTER. The other areas I have been exposed are Installation of

window server 2008,Configuration of window server 2008(this includes Installing a DomainController) and Also I have been exposed in areas of Computers and website (www.ursite.com)

Also I have been exposed to Computer Hardware maintenance like placing new hard disk to the

CPU having non-working drives, also setting the hard drives as Master and its Slave according tothe hard disk descriptions. Because any hard disk to become a master or slave it depend upon

setting up the jumper.Not only that but also i have been exposed to the other areas of computer

applications like Ms. word 2010,Ms excel 2010 , software installation in PC , and, etc.

Chapter 1

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.

Repair and maintenanceIt is a process whereby computer hardware devices are repaid and maintained. In this part several

tasks were done such as; opening system unit, checking RAM and testing their performance,

testing hard disks and opening & cleaning of mouse.

1.1Opening of system unitSystem unit is the container which houses all computers electronic devices such as mother body,

memory, processor, power supply, cooling system,In this task the first step was to disconnect the power cable then other cables and finally openingit to see what is inside.

After opening the system the components of it were found such components are;

1.2 Checking RAM and testing the performance

RAM, or random access memory, is an integrated circuit on the computer that is used for data

storage. RAM is volatile memory because the data stored in the memory chip will be erased

when the computer is powered off. RAM is the primary storage method for loading applications.

Without RAM, the computer will be unable to temporarily store data and, therefore, the user will

not be able to open and run programs. If the performance of was low it upgraded by the addition

of other RAM.

Identification of different types of RAM which are D and S RAM .D ram is also divided into

two; DDR1 and DDR2.Installing additional RAM helps speed up a computer by enabling it to load programs much

faster. Computers use random access memory to temporarily store data. Every operating system

has a virtual memory manager. Virtual memory is used to help the RAM chips store data. Take,for example, running programs that require up to 128 MB or memory on a PC that has a 64 MB

RAM chip. This limited amount of RAM cannot handle these kinds of programs. This is where

virtual memory comes in.

1.3 Replacing and testing of hard disks

In this task firstly disconnection of the power was done while the system unit was already

opened then followed by inserting the hard disk in the system unit, then connection of data and

power cables to the hard disk.

A hard disk drive (often shortened as hard disk, hard drive, or HDD) is a non-volatile storage

device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.

Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to the motorized mechanical aspect that is distinct from its

medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive and its floppy disk. Early HDDs

had removable media; however, an HDD today is typically a sealed unit (except for a filtered

vent hole to equalize air pressure) with fixed media.

1.4 Installation of CPU ProcessorThe installation of CPU is actually easier than other computer components installation. The

installation will probably take 10 minutes to an end. .All AMD CPUs have pins attached to the

CPU, Intel socket 478 CPUs also have the pins attached to the CPU. However, the new Intel

socket 775 CPUs have no pins on the CPU, only holes, the pins are located on the motherboard

itself. Intel chose this path for various reasons, mainly due to the fact the 478 "Prescott"

processors produced to much heat.

The AMD and Intel 478 sockets are small square objects with gold pins on the bottom, and a

lever to one side. The CPU will simply drop into the socket with the lever up and lock into place

when the lever is down.

AMDU CPU

How to install CPU

First off ground yourself. Dont want to allow a static electricity discharge on your new CPU.

Dont touch the power supply in the case to discharge any amount of static electricity we may

have.

-Unplug computer

Open Case by removing screws. There are approximately 4 of them to remove.

Unscrewing the case

Slide case panel off the case

After figuring out what CPU we have, we need to install it. In this case we install an AMD

socket 754 CPU and after the new socket 775 Intel CPU.


9/61

Socket 754

First off pull the sockets locking handle into the up position.

Now placing the CPU in the ZIF socket, the CPU is notched at one end and is also notched on the ZIF

socket. Simply align as follows;

Making sure that the CPU is matched up with slot and allowing it fall gently into the slot. If it will not

slide in well then check pins on CPU to insure they are not bent. If one is bent we can use a pocket knife

to straighten carefully. We need to be careful if many are bent, take back to store and get a new one.

When the CPU is in the socket we need to lock it down. Push the handle all the way down and secure

under its retainer.


10/61

10

Now we need to install the heat sink and fan. This is an easy job too tho.

Around the socket there will be a black device that holds the heat sink down on the CPU; this is called the

heat sink retention bracket. The heat sink itself with have two hooks on each side, with one side having a

device that locks the hook in place while locking onto the retention bracket. Make sure the device is

unlocked but turning it anti-clockwise before starting.

Hook one side of the heat sink to the bracket and then lower the heat sink on the CPU. The other side of

the heat sink should be able to hook into the bracket now also. The heat sink should feel firmly in place

but the hooks will be loose. The final step is to move that locking device clockwise till it locks into the

retention bracket, this should make the heatsink secure.


11/61

11

Figure

There is only one thing left to do and that is to hook up CPU fan into a available power connector.

Socket 775

As we mentioned earlier Intel's new socket has its pins integrated with the actual socket and are not

located on the bottom of the CPU. The new CPUs looks like this:


12/61

12

The new socket has a protective cover on it to stop the pins being damaged. This will need to be removed

first of all

figure

Once the cover is off open the lever and lift up the metal flap. This reveals the pins and allows the CPU to

be installed.

figure


13/61

13

As with all CPUs remember to look for the notch in the corner and match it up with the socket. Gently

lower the CPU in the socket taking care to not bend any motherboard pins, and then lower the metal flap.

Finally move the socket lever to the closed position to lock the CPUin the socket.

The CPU is now ready for the heat sink to be installed. This board is different in that it doesn't have a

retention bracket. The heat sink simply slots into four holes. It is locked into place by twisting the four

locking clips

1.5: RAID SYSTEM (RAID LEVEL-1)

RAID level-1 uses data mirroring. Two physical drives are combined into an array, and data isstriped across the array. The first half of a stripe is the original data; the second half of a stripe isa mirror (that is, a copy) of the data, but it is written to the other drive in the RAID level-1 array.

RAID level-1 provides data redundancy and high levels of performance, but the storage capacity

is diminished. Because the data is mirrored, the capacity of the logical drive when assignedRAID level-1 is 50% of the array capacity.

RAID level-1 requires two physical drives.

The following illustration shows an example of a RAID level-1 logical drive.


14/61

14

RAID level-1 example

1. Start with two physical drives.

2. Create an array using the two physical drives.

3. Then create a logical drive within that array.

4. The data is striped across the drives, creating blocks.Notice that the data on the drive on the right is a copy of the data on the drive on the left.

With RAID level-1, if one of the physical drives fails, the controller switches read and writerequests to the remaining functional drive in the RAID level-1 array.

RAID level-1 offers the following advantages and disadvantages.Advantages:

100% data redundancy High performance Disadvantage: Allows only 50% of the physical drive storage capacity to be used.

OR: you can check the status of your anti-virus by simply open the anti-virus windows.

1.6.2: Removing an error message appearing in windows.

An error message can appear because of corrupted file(s) or if the program is not workingappropriate. This might be caused by virus. In order to remove the error you need to logon to

Registry Editor and, search the error (by typing the error message) in a find what text box.

After found the suspected file, you need to delete it and, restarting you pc.

Steps to be followed:

After found the file, delete it and, restart your pc.

1.6.3: How to Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications

Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notifications occur when your computer hasn't passed

the validation test. The validation test can be failed due to being sold a pirated (non-genuine)copy of XP, or because you have changed your XP product key to a software-generated key, or

sometimes it just happens for no reason at all. The failed validation installs three types of

notifications on your computer: one on the log in screen, one log in timer, and one balloon. Italso stops updates from Microsoft and disables your ability to install IE7 and Windows Media

Player 11. This solution can get rid of all three notifications, even though you will still not be

able to update through Windows Update. You will not be able to download things fromMicrosoft that requires a valid license either.


20/61

Figure no. 1.7

Delete method:

a: Ifyou have only justinstalled Windows Genuine Advantage notifications, simply using thesystem restore function will remove the program. Then refuse to accept the WGA update next

time Windows updates. Otherwise, proceed as detailed below.

Open a Command Prompt window by clicking on Start -> Run. Type CMD and press OK. Change Directory into the System32 Folder (type cd \windows\system32)


21/61

21

Open a Notepad window and type the following lines: taskkill -IM wgatray.exe del wgatray.exe del wgalogon.old

Figure no. 1.8

Highlight and copy the three lines above to the Clipboard Paste the contents of the Clipboard to Command Prompt. This should kill the wgatray.exe process from the Taskbar and immediately delete both

files wgatray.exe and wgalogon.dll without the need to to go through all steps bellow.

b: Open System32 by either of the following methods:

Click "Start" -> "Run", then type "system32". Click "Okay". Find system32 manually by clicking "Start" > "My Computer" > "(C:)" (or whatever your drive

letter is) > "WINDOWS" > "system32".


22/61

22

Figure no. 1.9

In "system32", go to "Tools" > "Folder options", click on the tab, "View", and uncheck"Hide extensions for known file types" if it is not already.


23/61

Figure

Check to make sure the window that comes up has a full screen of various files. The filesare in alphabetical order, which makes it easier to locate the specific file.

Find "WgaLogon.dll" and rename it "WgaLogon.dll.bak".

Create an empty copy of WgaLogon.dll:Right click on a blank space in system32 and select "New" > "Text Document".


24/61

24

Leave the text document empty and label it "WgaLogon.dll". Press Enter (on yourkeyboard).

You may get a warning from the above step that says, "If you change a file nameextension, the file may become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it?". Click

"Yes" on this warning.

Be ready to complete the next two steps very quickly! Find "WgaTray.exe" in"system32" and delete it. You will then have 5 seconds to find "WgaTray.exe" in the

Task Manager (the next step).

Immediately open Task Manager. You can do this by pressing the Ctrl, Shift, and Esckeys simultaneously, pressing the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys simultaneously, or right

clicking the Taskbar and selecting "Task Manager". Click on the process tab and click end

process when "WgaTray.exe" is selected. Note: If you take longer, do not panic! All that

will happen is that "WgaTray.exe" will keep reappearing in the processes list (i.e. you

won't be able to delete it as required). To remove the notifications after this, return to

system32. You will find two files:"WgaLogon.dll.bak" (the one you renamed) and an

Application Extension (0KB) called "WgaLogon.dll". Delete the Application Extension,

rename "WgaLogon.dll.bak" to "WgaLogon.dll" and repeat the steps above onwards (ata greater speed!!).

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION.

Installation of a program is the act of putting the program onto a computer system so that it can

be executed. Installation of linux (ubuntu) operating system, installation and uninstallation of

antivirus were done.

2.1 Installation of windows server 2008.

Windows Server 2008 can also be installed as a Server Core installation, which is a cut-down version of Windows without the Windows Explorer GUI. Because you dont havethe Windows Explorer to provide the GUI interface that you are used to, you configureeverything through the command line interface or remotely using a MicrosoftManagement Console (MMC). The Server Core can be used for dedicated machines withbasic roles such as Domain controller/Active Directory Domain Services, DNS Server,DHCP Server, file server, print server, Windows Media Server, IIS 7 web server andWindows Server Virtualization virtual server.

To use Windows Server 2008 you need to meet the following hardwarerequirements:

Component RequirementProcessor Minimum: 1GHz (x86 processor) or 1.4GHz (x64 processor)

Recommended: 2GHz or faster Note: An Intel Itanium 2 processoris required for Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems

If you're installing on a hard disk that's connected to a SCSI controller, click Load Driver

and insert the media provided by the controller's manufacturer.

If you must, you can also click Drive Options and manually create a partition on thedestination hard disk.

11. The installation now begins, and you can go and have lunch. Copying the setup filesfrom the DVD to the hard drive only takes about one minute. However, extracting anduncompressing the files takes a good deal longer. After 20 minutes, the operatingsystem is installed. The exact time it takes to install server core depends upon your

hardware specifications. Faster disks will perform much faster installs Windows Server2008 takes up approximately 10 GB of hard drive space.


34/61

34

The installation process will reboot your computer, so, if in step #10 you inserted afloppy disk (either real or virtual), make sure you remove it before going to lunch, asyou'll find the server hanged without the ability to boot (you can bypass this byconfiguring the server to boot from a CD/DVD and then from the hard disk in thebooting order on the server's BIOS)

1. If you want to keep your existing operating system (e.g. Dual boot with Windows XP),select

the first option: Guided-resize the partition and use the freed space.2. By keeping the existing operating system and let the installer to automatically partition the

hard drive, select the second option: Guided use the entire disk.3. Manual is the third choice at this point it is strongly suggested to use it if there is no any otheroperating system installed and the hard drive does not contain important data on it, follow the

instruction bellow;

Choose the hard drive partition (or entire hard drive if no partitions) to format and click the

Delete partition button to delete the selected partitions. In the end there should be a single entrycalled free space, select and click the New partition button to create the root partition. Select

primary for the partition type, set the size for the partition (in megabytes), leave the location

for the new partition and Use as options as they are and select the mount point /(just like inthe image bellow).

Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing center > Change AdapterSettings [From the left sidebar of the control panel window in windows7] and

Right Clickyour Local Area Network and select Properties.

Figure no. 3.9

In Windows XPyou simply open the Network Connections and right clickand access the properties of the Local Area Network.

Now on properties, make sure that Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) is checked. Double click on it to access the properties.

Now enter the following details in the respective fields

Figure no. 3.10

In Windows XP, there is only a Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) checkbox. Makesure to check it and access its properties and do the necessary things as statedabove.

Save all the settings and you are done configuring your LAN.Note: LAN connection can be made by using cable known as RJ-45.

3.3.2: Connecting to the BSNL Broadband:

Now simply connect to internet and you are done. Also make a shortcut to yourdesktop for easy access.

That was for Windows7/Vista. For XP the method is almost the same. You needto access the wizard from Network Connections > Network Tasks >

Create a new connection.

4: CONCLUSION

For the whole period of two months having stayed at Regional Commissioners

OfficeCoast region (ICT department), the following conclusions were reached: Computer maintenance and its components. Network Management and, its layout. RAID configuration for Server.

In this practical training I have learnt the big concept of Networks and computer maintenance

and, its Equipments. Also the importance of performing preventive computer maintenance rather

than corrective maintenance. The practices which I made during my IPTR will help me easier tobecome an Engineer and I can implement the concept in a real world environment.

Therefore the company operate a quality management system in accordance with the requirement

of the International Standard and local regulatory bodies. Ensuring that we consistently deliver toour internal and external customers, products and services that meet and / or exceed their

requirement in terms of satisfaction levels ICT(at RCs office Coast region) meets requirements

first RCs office quality is a way of life in all our business processes Continuous Improvement intechnology and level of service guides RCs office (Coast region) focus .

5: FEEDBACK

The following are recommendations and suggestions to overcome the encountered challenges:

Program improvement

In order to improve the practical training program, teachers/lecturers should teach students on

how to deal in depth with network design and administration before practical training; this is

because most of the assigned tasks or duties fall under such course. Also the college should

create conducive learning environment in classrooms and libraries such as teaching and learning

resources especially books and computers including wireless network so as to enable students

learn by doing in todays world of science and technology rather than theory learning.

The department of computer science should find the alternative places for students who may fail

to find the practical areas/locations for their practical training

On the other hand, the organization to which students should be attached for practical training

should be those which deal in depth with computer matters with suitable and conducive practical

training environment and which have enough equipment in order to facilitate learning since

practical training is part and parcel of learning.
