They have a shared network printer which can be used for printing reports-
For this to be accomplished, the owner has asked you to do the following tasks:
• build the computer from the purchased hardware components;• install the operating system, the point of sales software and anti-virus software; onto the computer, using the installation software provided;• configure the computer operating system and POS software's security setting to meet the owner's requirements;• connect to the stores local area network;• give access to shared folder on network• install the network printer for the purpose of printing documents;• do a thorough check after installation of the machine and software to ensure that it ismeeting the store owner's requirements and can be used in the store; and• take screenshots to verify that the installation & configuration tasks have been completed-
Based on the scenario above perform the following tasks-
Part 1: Planning and reviewLO 2: Apply knowledge of single-user and multi-user computer operating systems to select, install configure and secure single-user and multi-user computer operating systems and a variety of common application software and device drivers to meet organisational requirements-
1- Develop a thorough plan for all the above tasks, your plan should include:• review procedures, testing requirements and user acceptance document-2- Recommend the hardware needed to build a computer to meet the user's requirements-3- Select and recommend the appropriate software, e-g- operating system and Point of Sale-4- Outline an installation procedure for system software and application software-5- Produce a review that ensures that all hardware components are compatible and will meet the user's requirements-
Part 2: Assemble the computerLO 4: Demonstrate knowledge of the features and use of computer components and peripherals including PC assembly and disassembly-
1- Build the computer-2- Test that the computer boots and there is no POST -power-on self-test- errors-
Part 3: Install software and configure systemLO 2: Apply knowledge of single-user and multi-user computer operating systems to select, install configure and secure single-user and multi-user computer operating systems and a variety of common application software and device drivers to meet organisational requirements-
LO 3: Use end-user security and basic performance optimisation techniques to ensure safe and efficient access to external internet sites and local and remote storage-
In this task you are required to take screen shots showing each of the following as evidence-1- Install and configure the operating system software-2- Create user accounts for the different users, Felix requires to have administrative access to the computer-3- Install and configure the application software-4- Install and configure anti-virus software to perform a complete system scan each evening at 9:00pm-5- Connect computer to company network-6- Connect computer to shared printer-7- Connect to shared folder on network-
Part 4: Test and evaluateLO 4: Demonstrate knowledge of the features and use of computer components and peripherals including PC assembly and disassembly-
1- Test and evaluate the computer using the review procedure developed in task 1, to make sure the computer is ready to be used by the end user-
Part 5: Practical demonstration
LO 4: Demonstrate knowledge of the features and use of computer components and peripherals including PC assembly and disassembly-
1- Demonstrate to the end user that the computer functions as per requirements-2- Tutor to sign off the user acceptance document-
