(COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING)

Bin - a container or enclosed space for storage. Computer chassis - the enclosure that contains most of the components of a computer. Diagnostic tools - used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in computer components and to test the functionality of computer Hazards - risks; dangers. Insulation - a material that reduces or prevents the transmission of heat or sound or electricity. Nozzle -a projecting part with an opening, as at the end of a hose, for regulating and directing a flow of fluid. Preventive - intended or used to prevent or hinder. Static electricity - an accumulation of electric charge on an insulated body. Tool - a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Toolkit - a set of tools designed to be used together or for a particular purpose. ESD - Electro-Static Discharge USB - Universal Serial Bus LCD - Liquid Crystal Display A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools range from a traditional metal cutting part of a machine to an element of a computer program that activates and controls a particular function. Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all tools come with detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell out the safety - Do’s and Don’ts for the your safety. If there are set-up or use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is the safest way to use the tool. Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following: All tools be kept in good condition with regular maintenance The right tool be used for the job Each tool be examined before use AND damaged or defective tools NOT to be used Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain all of the necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools to have available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into these four categories: Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools Hand tools Cleaning tools Diagnostic tools Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended particles and cause the buildup of static electrical charges on people and objects in the environment. Grounded anti-static work mats used with anti-static wrist straps provide the most basic means for the controlled discharge of electro-static electricity. Anti-static wrist strap - used to prevent ESD damage to computer equipment. Anti-static mat - used to stand on or place hardware on to prevent static electricity from building up. A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands. The hand tools can be manually used employing force, or electrically powered, using electrical current. Flat head screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten slotted screws. Philips head screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten crosshead screws. Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws that have a star-like depression on the top, a feature that is mainly found on laptop. Hex driver – sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens screws. Needle-nose plier - used to hold small parts. Wire cutter - used to strip and cut wires. Tweezers - used to manipulate small parts. Part retriever - used to retrieve parts from location that are to small for your hand to fit. Flashlight - used to light up areas that you cannot see well. Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing computers. Using these tools ensures that computer components are not damaged during cleaning. Lint-free cloth - used to clean different computer components without scratching or leaving debris. Compressed air - used to blow away dust and debris from different computer parts without touching the components. Cable ties - used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a computer. Parts organizer - used to hold screw, jumpers, fasteners and other small parts and prevents them from getting mixed together. Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of hardware and operating system update, but that doesn't mean they're problem-free. Multimeter - used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in computer components. Loopback Adapter - used to test the functionality of computer ports. A straightedge is a tool with an edge free from curves, or straight, used for transcribing straight lines, or checking the straightness of lines. A torque angle gauge is used to ensure that each component of a fastener has an equal amount of tightness. A try square is a woodworking or a metalworking tool used for marking and measuring a piece of wood. The square refers to the tool's primary use of measuring the accuracy of a right angle (90 degrees); to try a surface is to check its straightness or correspondence to an adjoining surface. A protractor is a measuring instrument, typically made of transparent plastic or glass, for measuring angles. Most protractors measure angles in degrees (°). COMBINATION GAUGE
This flexible gauge can measure inside or
outside angles, lay out angles, check inside or outside corners for squareness, check surfaces for flatness, align saws by measuring cut angles and comparing them with machine settings, and lay out compound miters. A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line gauge, is an instrument used in geometry, technical drawing, printing, engineering and building to measure distances or to rule straight lines.
