Safety While Working with Computers

What’s In

Personal Safety While Working with PC’s

Computer equipment can be dangerous, and you or others can be injured or even killed if you
don’t follow proper safety guidelines when working along with PC’s. The following are some
precautionary measures to take before working with any computer equipment:
✓ Wear shoes with non-conductive rubber soles to help reduce the chance of being shocked
or seriously injured in an electrical accident.
✓ Do not work on components that are plugged into their power source.
✓ Do not remove expansion cards from a computer when it is turned on.
✓ Remove jewelries when working inside any computer related equipment.
✓ Be sure not to mix electronic components and water.

Guidelines for Testing Configured Computer System and Network

Testing Your Computer Network

You've set up all your network switches, plugged in all the cables, and configured all your
computers. One task remains before you can declare your network finished: You must verify that the
network works as expected.

Here are a few simple tests you can conduct to make sure your network is functional.
✓ Check the physical connections.
Check that the Link light — the little red or green light next to the RJ-45 port — is lit on every
computer. You must check this light both on the computer itself and on the switch or router
the computer is plugged into. If this light is not on, you have a connection problem — most
likely a bad cable.

✓ Verify that you can log on.

When you're sure the physical connections are good, you should attempt to log on to each
of your network computers using a valid domain user account.

✓ Check the network configuration.

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then, enter the command ipconfig /all and
press Enter. This command will spit out numerous lines of information. The line you're
looking for should resemble this:

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.125(Preferred)

If this part of the output does not show a valid IP address, you need to check that your IP
configuration is set correctly and that your DHCP server is working.

✓ Verify that the computers can ping each other.

Another basic test you should perform is to use the ping command from a command prompt
to make sure that the computers on your network can contact one another.

 Do several ping tests. First, make sure that TCP/IP is up and running by having the computer
try to ping itself. Open a command prompt and type ping local host. The output from this
command will indicate whether or not the ping was successful.

Next, try to ping your servers by name. For example, if your file server is named
FileServer01, use the command ping FileServer01.

Writing a Technical Report on Test Conducted

Technical Report is any document that records the procedure adopted and results obtained
from a scientific or technical activity or investigation.
