ACTIVITY 5: Before carrying out the translation of a technical manual of a main board, consult on: The static electricity. The suppressive of voltage. Preventions of energy electrostatic. ACTIVITY 6: Analysis of a technical manual. It is the manual of the card of the system G586IPC. PACKAGE CHECKLIST
The G586IPC package contains the following items: The G586IPC system board. The G586IPC users manual. One 40-pin IDE hard disk cable. One 34-pin floppy disk drive cable. One 25-pin printer port cable for chassis mounting. One card-edge bracket with serial and mouse port cables. One set of IDE drivers. Cache module (optional). Before unpacking the system board, make sure the location you have selected is relatively free of dust and static electricity.

It any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer or sales representative for assistance. HARDWARE INSTALLATION: This chapter summarizes the steps to install the G586IPC system board into your system unit. It also includes a description of the area in which you must work and directions for memory installation. Before installing the system board, obtain the memory you plan to install. Please refer to the memory chart on page 14 for the number and type of SIM modules needed for the amount of memory you required. PREPARING THE AREA:

CHEQUEE LA LISTA DEL PAQUETE (Contenido)
El paquete G586IPC contiene los siguientes elementos: La tarjeta del sistema G586IPC. Manual del usuario. Un cable para el disco duro IDE de 40 pines o contactos. Un cable para el disco flexible de 34 pines. Un cable para el puerto de la impresora de 25 pines para ser montado en el gabinete. Una laminilla con cables para el puerto serial y mouse. Un conjunto de controladores IDE. Un mdulo de memoria cach (adicional) Si alguno de estos elementos est perdido o daado, por favor contacte a su vendedor o representante de ventas para asistencia. INSTALACIN DEL HARDWARE: Este capitulo resume los pasos para instalar la tarjeta del sistema en su unidad. Esto incluye una descripcin del rea en la cual usted trabaja y direcciones para la instalacin de memoria. Antes de instalar la tarjeta del sistema, obtenga la memoria de su plan de instalacin. Por favor refirase al capitulo de memoria en la pgina 14 para el nmero y tipo de mdulos SIM necesarios para la cantidad de memoria que usted requiere. PREPARANDO EL AREA: Antes de desempacar la tarjeta del sistema, asegurese de que la ubicacin que usted tenga seleccionada este relativamente libre de polvo y electricidad esttica.

Excessive exposure to dust, static electricity, direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme cold, and water can damage the operational capabilities of your system board. Avoid placing the unit on surfaces such as carpeted floors. These areas attract static electricity which can damage circuits on your system board. Make sure the power source has a properly grounded, three-pronged socket. Is it essential that the power connection be properly grounded for correct functioning of your system board. For further protection, we recommend that you use a surge suppressor. This will protect the system board from damage that may result from a power surge on the electrical line. Move items that generate magnetic fields away from your system board since magnetic fields can also damage your system board. Once you have selected the ideal location, unpack the G586IPC system board carefully. HANDLING THE SYSTEM BOARD: It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system board even before installing it in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage. You must take extra care in handling the system board to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

La excesiva exposicin al polvo, electricidad esttica, luz directa solar, excesiva humedad, extremo fro, y agua pueden daar la capacidad operacional de su tarjeta. Evite colocar la unidad en superficies como los pisos alfombrados. Estas reas atraen electricidad esttica que pueden daar los circuitos de su tarjeta de sistema. Asegurese de que el recurso de energa este apropiadamente conectado, en el toma de tres patas. Esto es esencial para que la conexin de energa este apropiadamente conectada para un correcto funcionamiento de su tarjeta de sistema. Para futuras protecciones, nosotros recomendamos que usted use un SUPRESOR DE PICOS. Esto proteger la tarjeta del sistema de daos que pueden resultar de sobre voltajes de la lnea elctrica. Mueva elementos que generan campos magnticos de su tarjeta de sistema, ya que estos campos magnticos pueden daar la tarjeta. Una vez tenga usted seleccionada la ubicacin ideal, desempaque la tarjeta cuidadosamente. MANIPULANDO LA TARJETA DEL SISTEMA: Es fcil pasar inadvertido daos de su tarjeta cuando la est instalando en su unidad. La descarga de electricidad esttica puede daarla. Usted debe tener precaucin extra al manipular la tarjeta del sistema para evitar las altas electroestticas.

To complete the activity, translate the following paragraphs of the system board manual:
STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Wear an antistatic wrist strap. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface with system board components facing up. Hold the system board only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections, especially gold contacts, on the board. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules and connectors by their ends.

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM BOARD: If you are installing the G586IPC system board, the following outlines the basic installation steps. Before installing the system board into your system unit, you should prepare the tools you will need. You will need:

5
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. One medium size, flat-bladed screwdriver. One medium Phillips screwdriver. One needle-nosed pliers. One nut driver.

Unlock your system unit. Turn off the power and disconnect all power cords and cables. Remove the system unit cover. Refer to the manufacturers instructions if necessary. Remove expansion cards seated in any of the expansion slots and detach all connectors from the old system board. Loosen the screws holding the original system board and remove the board from the system. Save the screws. Remove the G586IPC from its original packing box. Be careful to avoid touching all connectors and pins on the board. Please refer to the handling instructions on pages 9-10 for proper handling techniques.

6.

Insert the SIMMs into the SIMM (Single In line Memory Module) banks on the G586IPC. The quantity and location of the SIMMs depends on the memory configuration and type of modules you intend to use. 7. Insert the cache module, if any, into the cache module slot on the G586IPC. Refer to the cache memory section on page 15 for upgrading your cache memory. 8. Install the CPU (Central Process Unit). Be sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. 9. Set the corresponding jumpers. 10. Install the prepared G586IPC system board into the case and replace the screws. 11. Reinstall all cards and connectors and replace the system unit cover. Reconnect all power cords and cables.

EXPLICATION: LA MEMORIA DEL PC: Toda computadora cumple dos procesos: Un HARDWARE y un SOFTWARE. El hardware son los dispositivos fsicos con que cuenta la computadora y el Software son los diferentes programas que se instalan en la computadora. Estos ltimos son la parte lgica del PC. Los programas se almacenan y se ejecutan: Tras un proceso de instalacin, los programas se almacenan en las diferentes unidades de almacenamiento, siendo ellas un disco duro, un DVD, un CD-ROM, un disquete, etc. Si se ha de trabajar con algn programa que se encuentre almacenado o instalado, es decir ejecutarlo, los programas trabajan en una zona especial denominada la memoria del PC.

Existen en la computadora 4 tipos de memoria fsicas, es decir, son parte del HARDWARE del PC y ellas son:

6
MEMORIA VIRTUAL: Es el espacio fsico disponible del disco duro para trabajar programas que habitualmente se deben de cargar en la Memoria RAM, pero que a falta de espacio de sta se tienen que cargar dentro del disco duro. MEMORIA CACHE: Es la zona de almacenamiento temporal dentro del Microprocesador o fuera de ste para labores de control del PC. Es la asistente del microprocesador. MEMORIA ROM: Es un pequeo circuito integrado que trae un programa llamado BIOS para realizar labores de configuracin de los dispositivos fsicos del PC. Se le llama SETUP o CMOS. MEMORIA RAM: Son pequeas tarjetas instalables dentro de la Mainboard con alguna capacidad y en ellas se carga el software que habitualmente trabaja el usuario. Es aqu donde se ejecuta el software del PC.
