Hardware Tips

By
Assembling process
Required components:
1.     System case
2.     SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply)
3.     Motherboard
4.     RAM(Random Access Memory)
5.     CPU chip (Central Processing Unit)
6.     Optical Disk Drive
7.     CPU fan
8.     Hard Disk Drive
9.     Graphics card
Assembling the Computer is the process of making a completely working system combining various parts of compatible hardware of the computer system.  A computer is said to be assembled when its various hardware components like Hard Disk, Memory, Power Supply, SATA/PATA etc. are connected manually in a proper way so that the system functions smoothly.

Things to Consider:

·         Hold the main board and expansion cards by edges
·         Return the main board and peripherals to
anti-static bags
·         Disconnect the power before working on the system
·         Never place the components above the material that can pass electricity
·         It is advised not to touch in the middle of internal components like processor, motherboard as it can get short-circuit by static electricity.
·         We should use correct type of SMPS for the system as requirement provided by the technical professional.

Step 2: Insert CPU chip into CPU slot and close the socket.

Step 3: Insert CPU fan and Fan wire into motherboard. Make sure screw was tided correctly. 

Step 4: Insert Motherboard into System Case.

Step 5: Insert Optical Disk Drive. Tide the screw.

Step 6: Insert Graphics card into PCI slot while managing Graphics port.

Step 7: Insert HDD in the system case.

Step 8: Insert SMPS in the case and tide the screw.

Step 9: Connect all the cable simultaneously.

Testing connections:
Plug in PSU power cord into PSU and to wall outlet and start computer. Use usual precautions when handling electricity! Test to see the following are running - all 3 fans - case, CPU, PSU, (and video card fan(s) if separate video card installed). Test power button (PC comes on and off) and reset button (HDD LED light blinks once). Test to see all 3 LED lights work - PLED light (power on light that stays on when PC is on), DVD LED light (comes on at start then goes off), HDD LED light (blinks initially).

Put back case left, right and front panels

Screw back case left and right panels with thumb screws. Make sure you get the sidescorrectlay, a case side panel with a window faces the front side of the motherboard giving the components ventilation.

Network Topology

By
A network topology is the arrangement of the computers cable and other components on a network. The major goal of network topology is to find out the most economical and efficient way to connect all the users to the network resources while providing adequate capacity to handle users demand, maintain system reliability and decrease the delay.    Topology is the map of physical network. The type of topology we use defect the type and capabilities network hardware’s its management and possibilities for future expansion. There are many types of network topology, some of these are:   Bus Topology Star Topology Mesh Topology   Ring Topology Tree Topology

What is Servlet in Java?

By
A servlet is a small program that executes on a server. Just as applets dynamically extend the functionality of a web browser, servlets dynamically extend the functionality of a web server. It is helpful to understand that as useful as applets can be, they are just one half of the client/server equation. Not long after the initial release of Java, it became obvious that Java would also be useful on the server side. The result was the servlet. Thus, with the advent of the servlet, Java spanned both sides of the client/server connection.
