THINGS YOU CAN DO

The Device Manager is not just a list of hardware that Windows understands. You can use
Device Manager to change hardware configuration options, manage drivers, disable and
enable hardware, identify conflicts between hardware devices, and much more. Learn
more about Device manager below:

Video Transcript:
Device Manager is an extension of the Microsoft Management Console that provides a central
and organized view of all the Microsoft Windows recognized hardware installed in a computer.

8
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

Device Manager is used to manage the hardware devices installed in a computer like hard disk
drives, keyboards, sound cards, USB devices, and more.
You can use Device Manager to change hardware configuration options, manage drivers, disable
and enable hardware, identify conflicts between hardware devices, and much more.
Think of Device Manager as the primary list of hardware that Windows understands. All the
hardware on your computer can be configured from this centralized utility.
How to Use Device Manager
Like what's shown in the example image above, Device Manager lists devices in separate
categories so that it's easier to find what you're looking for. You can expand each section to see
which devices are listed inside. Once you find the right hardware device, double-click it to see
more information like its current status, driver details, or in some cases its power management
options.
Some of these categories include Audio inputs and outputs, Disk drives, Display adapters, DVD/CD-
ROM drives, Network adapters, Printers, and Sound, video and game controllers.
If you were having troubles with your network card, let's say, you might open the Network adapters
area and see if there are any unusual icons or colors associated with the device in question. You
can double-click it if you want more information about it or to perform one of the tasks listed
below.
More Information on Device Manager
Different things happen in Device Manager to indicate an error or the state of a device that isn't
"normal." In other words, if a device isn't in complete working order, you can tell by looking closely
at the list of devices.
It's good to know what to look for in Device Manager because it's where you go to troubleshoot a
device that isn't working properly. You can go to Device Manager to update a driver, disable a
device, etc.
Something you may see in Device Manager is a yellow exclamation point. This is given to a device
when Windows finds a problem with it. The issue may be extreme or as simple as a device driver
problem.
If a device is disabled, whether by your own doing or because of a deeper problem, you'll see a
black arrow by the device in Device Manager. Older versions of Windows (XP and prior) give a red
x for the same reason.
To further convey what the problem is, Device Manager gives error codes when a device is having
a system resource conflict, driver problem, or another hardware issue. These are simply called
Device Manager error codes or hardware error codes.

You can read more about Device Manager by reading this file link.

WEEK 2

LEARNING RESOURCE 2.1:

INTRODUCTION

For this week we will continue to learn more about LO1: Test devices/systems and/or
installation to determine whether it conforms to the requirements. As you already
know this learning outcome focuses on two main topics:
1. Device Manager
2. Control Panel

In this module, you will be introduced to another Management Tool for the Windows
Operating System called Control Panel. Upon completion of the module, you should be
able to:
1. Understand what a Control Panel is;
2. Determine the different ways in accessing the Control Panel; and
3. Distinguish each category and icon in the Control Panel.

LEARNING RESOURCE 2.2 :

CONTROL PANEL

The Microsoft Windows Control Panel is a management tool for the Windows operating
system (OS) that allows end users to change settings and manage tasks within the OS.

The Control Panel in Windows is a collection of applets, sort of like tiny programs, that can
be used to configure various aspects of the operating system. For example, one applet in
Control Panel lets you configure the mouse pointer size (among other things), while
another allows you to adjust all the sound-related settings.

Among other things, end users can use the Control Panel to troubleshoot problems, backup
the computer, view the computer's network status, choose sharing options, view devices
and printers, add devices, add or remove programs, connect to a projector, manage the
user account, adjust screen resolution, change the desktop theme, change the display
background or language and specify input methods.

So, before you can make any of these changes mentioned above, you'll need to open the
Control Panel. Fortunately, it is super easy to do—at least in most versions of Windows.

19
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

Note: Surprisingly, how you open Control Panel differs quite a bit between Windows
versions. Below are steps for Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and
Windows XP

WEEK 3

LEARNING RESOURCE 3.1:

INTRODUCTION

For this week, we will learn about LO2: Conduct Stress test to ensure reliability of
equipment in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and system requirements. In
this learning outcome, we will focus on two main topics:
1. DirectX Diagnostic Tools
2. Command Prompt.

In this module, you will be introduced to a secret tool that is designed to help you
troubleshoot problems on your computer called DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Upon completion
of the module, you should be able to:
1. Understand what a DirectX Diagnostic Tool is;
2. Determine the different ways in accessing the DirectX Diagnostic Tool; and
3. Find out what happens after you launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

LEARNING TASK 3.1:

SELF-ASSESSMENT

 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

LEARNING RESOURCE 3.2

SELF WHAT IS DIRECTX DIAGNOSTIC TOOL?

Windows 10 along with the other modern Windows operating system editions that were
released before it contains in them a secret tool that is designed to help you troubleshoot
problems when they occur on your computer.
The tool is called DirectX Diagnostic and with it, you can troubleshoot and identify
problems that are related to audio, display, video and other multimedia applications and
features especially when you are running some advanced games on your computer. The
tool also allows you to find problems that occur when you are using audio and video
players on your Windows 10 machine.

DirectX is used in Microsoft sponsored gaming platforms such as Xbox. In case you are
using your Windows 10 machine for Xbox games and you have been noticing some gaming
issues especially the ones that are related to video quality and performance, the tool can
help you find the problem and better understand its source.

Whenever users who are also gamers need support and troubleshooting for the games
that they are playing, gaming companies would most of the time recommend the DirectX
Diagnostic tool as a means to identify the problem.

30
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

Different tools have varied ways of being

accessed in Windows 10. For the DirectX
Diagnostic tool, we will be showing two
available methods in launching it.

LEARNING TASK 3.2:

FILL IN THE BLANKS

31
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

LEARNING RESOURCE 3.3:

SE WHAT HAPPENS?

After launching the DirectX Diagnostic tool and if you are doing it for the first time on your

Windows 10 machine, you will encounter a prompt that is asking you if the tool can be
allowed to do a scan for drivers that are digitally signed as you can see being shown on
the screenshot below. From this prompt, we would recommend that you click on the
button that says “Yes” so that the tool will be allowed to do a scan.

Once the DirectX Diagnostic tool is done doing its job of checking digitally signed drivers
and those that are approved by Windows Hardware Quality Labs by Microsoft, the tool
should then be able to initialize and open its main Window where you should be able to
find four tabs on top namely “System”, “Display”, “Sound”, “Input”.

32
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

At the bottom-left portion of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, you will see an option that
says “Check for WHQL digital signatures” and this option is checked by default after you
open the tool itself as we have shown above. This means that after the tool asked if it
could check the drivers in your computer and you clicked on the “Yes” button, it already
did check for drivers that have WHQL digital signatures.

CO COMMAND PROMPT

Most IT experts and Linux users, in addition to computer

users who work with MS-DOS, are relatively familiar
with the command line and its corresponding
commands. But a lot can be achieved with the command
prompt in Windows, too. For this reason, we will explain
what the command line is, how to open it, and which CMD
commands there are for Windows.
The Windows command prompt is a feature that has
been a core part of the Windows operating system for a
long time. Command Prompt is one of the command-line
interface programs used to execute commands in
Windows operating systems.
A command prompt is the input field in a text-based user interface screen for an
operating system or program. A prompt, in this context, is something designed to elicit
an action. The command prompt consists of a brief text string followed by a blinking
cursor, which is where the user type commands.
Command prompt interfaces can be powerful and some tools that are not available
through the GUI can be accessed through it. They also offer superior automation through
scripting but may present a steep learning curve to master knowledge of commands.
While Command Prompt probably is not a tool most of you will use on a regular basis, it
can really come in handy now and then, maybe to troubleshoot a specific Windows
problem or to automate some kind of task.

How you open Command Prompt differs between Windows versions, so you will find
steps below for Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, and Windows 7, Windows Vista,
and Windows XP.

How To Open a File from the Command Prompt In Windows 10
https://youtu.be/uE9WgNr3OjM

Video Transcript:
OPENING COMMAND PROMPT
1. Through Search Box. Type cmd in the Windows search box, then click on the
icon to open the window. It’s wise to always operate the command line as an
administrator.
2. Use the Run window. A fast way to launch cmd is to press the Win + R keys
on your keyboard. Then, type cmd or cmd.exe and press Enter or click “OK.”
3. Use Cortana: Use Cortana if it works for you. As soon as you see the Cortana
is “listening” text, say “open command prompt,” and it will open up.

OPENING FILE IN COMMAND PROMPT

1. In the command prompt, type dir "search term*" /s but replace the words
“search term” with the file name or a part of the name you remember. In the
following screen we are trying to search for a folder/file titled “Stock videos.”
2. Once you press Enter, it may look like nothing is happening for a second or
two, but soon all the file paths mentioning the correct file or folder will be
identified and named. The correct file path can be easily identified by the size
of the folder.

44
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

What do all the terms mean in the command line search request?
dir is a command used to show files in the current directory but can also locate
data elsewhere in the system.
The backslash (\) tells dir to search from the root directory of the current drive.
/s tells dir to search all sub-directories.
* is used by command-line apps as a wildcard. It indicates that the search will
locate all file names that contain your search term.
Putting an asterisk at the end of the name, like business*, will find all the files
with your search term at the beginning of the name.
If you put it at the beginning, your search will only include results with your
text at the end. For example, *.jpg.
If you put an asterisk at each end of the search term, you will cover all the
bases. No matter where your text is in the actual name of the file, that file will
be listed in the results.

WEEK 5

LEARNING RESOURCE 5.1:

INTRODUCTION

For this week, you will learn about LO3: Follow 5S and 3Rs according to environmental
policies. In this module, you will be introduced to5S/ Occupational Health and Safety that
is a planned system of working to prevent illness and injury where you work by
recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and safety procedure is the
responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology industries.

Upon completion of the module, you should be able to:

1. Define Occupational Health and Safety (OHS);
2. Understand the Safety procedures in the workplace/working area;
3. Create Accident Report Form; and
4. Apply the different Personal Safety while Working.

LEARNING RESOURCE 5.2 :

WHAT IS OHS?

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a

planned system of working to prevent illness
and injury where you work by recognizing
and identifying hazards and risks. Health and
safety procedure is the responsibility of all
persons in the computer and technology
industries. You must identify the hazards
where you are working and decide how
dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or
modify the risk that it presents.

There are three steps to manage health and safety at work: (1.) Spot the Hazard (Hazard
Identification), (2.) Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment) and (3.) Make the Changes (Risk
Control). You can use these three Think Safe steps to help prevent accidents at work.

56
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

1. Spot the Hazard

2.
A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else. Below are example of Hazards:
• Frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock)
• Boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone)
• Noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing)

During working hours, you must remain alert to anything that may be dangerous. If you
see, hear or smell anything odd, take note. If you think it could be a hazard, tell someone.

3. Assess the Risk

Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone
and how serious the harm could be.

Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by asking yourself two questions:

1. How likely is it that the hazard could harm me or someone else?

2. How badly could I or someone else be harmed?

Always tell someone (your employer, your supervisor or your health and safety
representative) about hazards you cannot fix yourself, especially if the hazard could
cause serious harm to anyone. For example, (1) Ask your supervisor for instructions and
training before using equipment, (2) Ask for help moving or lifting heavy objects, and (3)
Tell your supervisor if you think a work practice could be dangerous.
If you are not sure of the safest way to do something during work experience, always ask
your supervisor.

4. Make the Changes

It is your employer’s responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able to fix
simple hazards yourself, as long as you do not put yourself or others at risk. For example,
you can pick up things from the floor and put them away to eliminate a trip hazard.

LEARNING RESOURCE 5.3 :

HAZARD AND RISK

A hazard is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to harm the health and
safety of people or to damage plant and equipment. The situation could involve a task,
chemical or equipment used. Hazard management is a continuous process that can
be used to improve the health (a person’s mental or physical condition) and safety
(the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury) of
all workplaces.
We’ve defined hazard as the potential to cause harm; risk, on the other hand, is the
likelihood of harm (in defined circumstances, and usually qualified by some
statement of the severity of the harm). The relationship between hazard and risk
must be treated very cautiously. If all other factors are equal especially the
exposures and the people subject to them then the risk is proportional to the hazard.
However, all other factors are very rarely equal.

59
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

Physical hazards are environmental factors that can harm an employee

without necessarily touching them, including heights, noise, radiation and
pressure.

Chemical hazards are hazardous substances that can cause harm. These
hazards can result in both health and physical impacts, such as skin irritation,
respiratory system irritation, blindness, corrosion and explosions.

When working on electronic equipment, ask yourself "Is there any way this
equipment could hurt me?” You might stick your hand in a printer and
suddenly the paper feed arm moves, feeding not only paper through the
printer, but a piece of your finger too.

You might move your hand past a computer chassis and lose a chunk of
flesh because it is razor sharp. When working on electronic equipment
always be alert to any possibility of being hurt by moving parts, hot
components, or sharp edges.

Inside computers and electronic equipment, there is a range of voltages from

3.3 volts to 25 volts, most of which are harmless. But at the power supply,
you will find line voltage, which is a lethal 220 volts.

LEARNING RESOURCE 6.3 :

WHAT DOES IT SHOW?

Launching System Information is easy. To do so, press the Windows key and type
System Information. When you see the desktop app icon in the results pane, just click
it. Each time you launch System Information, it examines your system and displays
detailed configuration information about your computer, as shown in Figure below. To
display all that data, System Information employs an expandable tree structure to break
down system configuration information into four categories:

• System Summary displays a general profile of your computer and the operating
system, including CPU type, amount of RAM, and information about the page file.

• Hardware Resources displays detailed information about hardware resources,

including DMA, IRQ, and the I/O channel.

• Components displays details about each of the main components in your system,
such as storage devices, display devices, and network adapters.
• Software Environment displays information about the system software
configuration, including signed drivers, installed, and running programs, network
connections, and running tasks.

73
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

If you know what you're looking for but aren't sure of its location, you can use the Find
What feature at the bottom of the System Information screen. If you don't see it, just press
Ctrl+F or pull down the Edit menu and select the Hide Find command to remove the check
mark.
When you use the Find What feature, shown in Figure below, you can search through the
configuration data in three ways: You can search the entire tree, you can select the Search
Selected Category Only checkbox, or you can select the Search Category Names Only
checkbox.

Once you have System Information up and running, creating a configuration data set is
easy. Just press Ctrl+S or pull down the File menu, select the Save command, and save
your configuration data set as a System Information File (.NFO file). Be sure that you
append the date to the end of the filename. For example, you might use the filename
System Information 07-17-17.nfo, as shown in Figure below.

74
 Technology & Livelihood Education 10 – Course Guide

Once you've created a System Information File, you can use System Information to
compare the past and present configurations. To do so, launch two instances of System
Information and then load the System Information File in one instance by choosing Open
from the File menu and locating the configuration data set you created earlier.

Position the windows as shown in Figure below and then scan for differences between the
current configuration and your old configuration in the file. You can tell the two windows
