and networks.
The teacher will discuss the three basic processes of routine
maintenance: Data Backup, Malware Maintenance, and Disk or File
System Maintenance.
The teacher will provide real-life examples of how neglecting
maintenance can lead to system failures and data loss.
MAINTENANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Policy – An Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) student should know how to behave when
working in the computer laboratory, as well as implement a safe way of
accomplishing every task. Safety practices should be learned early and always
adheres in working with any electrical and electronic device, including personal
computers and its peripherals. This is for your protection as well as to the
people working with you, and for the devices that you are using. The basis for
this process begins with Occupational Health and Safety Policies.
Occupational Health and Safety standards
Each student has a responsibility to their colleagues and their organization to
report and act upon any potential workplace hazard. Students need to be aware
of the type of hazards that are possibly present in their work environment.
Procedures
1. Identify the hazard.
2. Clear the area close to the hazard.
3. Partition the hazard off or clearly identify the area to protect other people
from harm.
4. If the hazard can be easily and safely cleared, then do so.
5. Report the hazard to the appropriate person (such as teacher in charge,
principal etc.) to obtain assistance.
6. After clearing of the hazard, fill out the correct documentation to assist in
identifying improved practice to reduce further incidence of hazards.
Maintenance of Computer System
Perhaps you have handpicked the finest computer with the selected fastest
processor and graphic card and with a few gigabytes of memory. So you thought
to yourself that your machine is probably going to sustain you for the next five
(5) years. But little did you discover that some six months down the road, your
computer is behaving like a Pentium 2 computer, perpetually flustering you with
its choppy images, frustrating pop-ups and tremendously slow disk access.
Gradually, your computer crashes and all your data is lost on one fine afternoon.
One thing you have probably missed out is the need for system maintenance.
The basic routine maintenance comprises of the 3 basic processes:
1. Data Backup
2. Malware Maintenance
3. Disk or File System Maintenance
Let us address each of the processes in detail so that you can better
understand how you can apply them in your system to extend its longevity.
DATA BACKUP
Backing up basically means creating a redundant copy of a data so that in
case anything happens to the original data, you have a spare copy. This is
typically a simple thing to do. First, you must ask yourself why should you back
up the data or system? If you feel that you should backup your valuable data,
then you should decide and select what data to back up. Depending on your
needs, you may choose to back up your windows registry, or your Outlook
Express mail data, or even your windows security keys.
Windows operating system's friendly interface allows you to drag and drop
computer files from one storage device to another. And this can be as simple as
copying a document file from your desktop into a thumb drive. But when these
files gradually occupy a lot of disk space, you may need to seek help from
archiver utilities such as Winzip which enables you to compact your files into a
single compressed file. You can then break up this large file into several pieces to
be stored in several mediums such as a span of CD or DVD-Recordable. Winzip
also allows you to protect your file with encryption and a software password to
prevent any unauthorized access. There are a number of backup methods you
could use.
MALWARE MAINTENANCE
Malware refers to any kind of malicious codes, objects or content that
infiltrates your computer, resulting in damage and causing your system to act in
an undesirable manner. Commonly, these include viruses, spyware, worms,
trojan
horses, spams and many more. When you are infected, you can lose your
privacy, confidential data and access to your system when software and
hardware are damaged. Fortunately, there are a couple of preventive measures
you can take to protect yourself from malware.
One thing you can do to scan the file for any virus infection before you
attempt to open it. If the scan shows nothing, it is probably a safe file. But then
again, it may be a new virus yet to be updated in your virus scan. You can either
wait and apply the next virus signature update and perform a second scan or
risk it all and open the file.
DISK MAINTENANCE
Did anyone tell you that your hard disk is a pretty tricky machine? When you
first installed your operating system, you may be pleased to know how smooth
and efficient your software applications are running. But gradually, it slows
down and this bothers you. What truly causes the decline in performance? You
may argue that your disk is just a couple of months old. This has much to do
with the way you operate on your system. Try to imagine a big tool bucket filled
with gadgets. Initially, the bucket only contains a few spanners, a hammer and
some screws. So, every time you search for a particular item, it is relatively easy
to find. But soon as you keep filling the bucket with all sorts of items and
especially when the amount of items grows, you will discover that you may need
more time just to search for a particular screw head. In such cases, uninstall any
unnecessary software and defragment your disk. Typically, your system
performance will decline when the amount of data in your hard disk starts to
grow.
ELABORATE Hands-On Activity
G. Finding practical applications
to concepts and skills in daily Guide students in performing a basic data backup on their computers
living. using external storage devices or cloud services.
H. Making generalization and
abstraction. Demonstrate how to run a malware scan and discuss the importance of
keeping antivirus software up-to-date.
Show students how to defragment their hard drives and explain the
benefits of regular disk maintenance.
