What I Need To Know?

Read Information Sheet No 1.1-5 and find out how much you can
remember. Do Self-Check 1.1-5 to know how much you have learned.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:

1. Identify the different tools and equipment used in computer systems and networks
2. Determine the different use and functions of these tools and equipment’s

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS

One important thing to consider before executing a well-planned computer installation


is that one must be knowledgeable in the different tools and equipment’s used in computer
systems and networks. Furthermore, the idea on how these tools and equipment’s are
properly used is another important consideration in installing computer systems.
Hardware Tools/Equipment’s Illustrations
and their Functions

Protective Eyewear

Enclose or protect the eye area in order


to prevent particulates, infectious
fluids, or chemicals from striking the
eyes

Multi-tester or Multi-meter

A multi-meter or a multi-tester, also


known as a VOM (Volt-Ohm meter), is
an electronic measuring
instrument that combines several
measurement functions in one unit
Pliers (Assorted)

Pliers is a hand tool used to hold


objects firmly, for bending, or physical
compression.

Screwdriver

A screwdriver is a tool for


driving screws and often rotating
other machine elements with the
mating drive system

Soldering Gun

A soldering gun is
a tool for soldering metals using tin-
based solder to achieve a highly
conductive contact

Desoldering Tool

Desoldering tools are used for


removing the molten solder so that the
joint may be separated.

Allen Wrench

A hex key, Allen key, or Allen


wrench (also known by various
other synonyms) is a tool of
hexagonal cross-section used to drive
bolts and screws that have a
hexagonal socket in the head (internal-
wrenching hexagon drive)
Flashlight

A flashlight (or torch in British


English) is a hand-held portable
electric-powered light source. Usually
the light source is a small incandescent
light bulb or light-emitting diode (LED)

IC Insertion and Extraction Tool

Used for extracting and inserting


BIOS Chip

Mirror

In hardware servicing a mirror is used


for inspecting the peripherals

Tweezers

Tweezers are tools used for picking up


objects too small to be easily handled
with the human hands

Antistatic Wrist Strap

An antistatic wrist strap, ESD wrist


strap, or ground bracelet is an antistatic
device used to safely ground a person
working on very sensitive electronic
equipment, to prevent the buildup of
static electricity on their body, which
can result in electrostatic discharge
(ESD)
Gloves

A gloves are garments for covering


and protecting the whole hand

Printer

a printer is a peripheral which


produces a text or graphics of
documents stored in electronic form,

Computer Networking Tools and Illustrations


Device and their Functions

Crimping Tool

A crimping tool is a tool designed


to crimp or connect a connector to the end
of a cable. For example, network cables
and phone cables are created using a
crimping tool to connect the RJ-
45 and RJ-11 connectors to the end of the
cable. In the picture to the right, is an
example of what a crimping tool looks like.
This example shows a tool capable of
crimping both RJ-11 and RJ-45
connectors.

LAN Tester
