...motherboard and all other components in the computer case. It is a good idea to ground yourself to avoid electrical shock; this can also be accomplished by touching the metal edge of the computer case, antistatic wrist strap, and antistatic floor mat. Once properly grounded, we can begin removal of the motherboard by disconnecting the power, and removing data cables from the hard drive. The second step is to extract all of the PCI adapters and the video card. Keep in mind that each of the adapters attached to the motherboard are secured by a single screw on the back rail of the case. Place these screws in a container to prevent loss of the screws. Handle the adapters by the metal brackets while removing them. Now it is time to begin removing the data cables. While using both hands to disconnect the data cables, hold it as close to the connector as possible while removing it to reduce likelihood of damage to the ribbon cable. Some cables have a pull loop or tab to ease in cable removal. If so, use them to help remove the data cable with ease. The last set of connectors that have to be removed are the front panel leads, which attach to the motherboard. This includes LED’s, case speaker, and the power switch. These connectors are fairly easy to remove for the most part. Once all of the connectors have been disconnected and all the screws are removed, grasp the PCI slot and the CPU heat sink and lift the motherboard out of the computer case. The last thing to check when replacing...

...know how to build a computer? Have you ever wondered how to make a computer on your own with step by step directions? To build a low end workstation for a business or server you would have to have the proper motherboard, computer case, RAM, power supply, hard drive, CPU, and a DVD disk drive. When you are looking to build a computer you need to make sure that all of the parts are compatible and will fit in your tower. I would first look for a motherboard and computer case. I went with a biostar G41D3 motherboard. It is a micro ATX so you will have to make all of your components will fit onto it. You will have to pick a tower that will fit the micro ATX motherboard. I chose the cooler master elite mid tower case. I chose this case because it will have more air flow since it will be a server so it will probably be running more frequently than a regular computer. I then chose a hard drive. To choose a hard drive you have to know what kind it is. Usually the motherboard will come with a list of compatible hardware. The motherboard I chose is compatible with a SATA hard drive.I chose an intel dual processor because it does not need to perform a lot of tasks at once and it goes with the motherboard. You can find out that the motherboard and the CPU fit together by looking at the specifications of the motherboard. I chose a Toshiba 1 TB hard drive. I figured since there will be a lot of information on a server it would need a lot of space to hold users and computers IP addresses. Then...

...Instructions on replacing motherboard If you are replacing the motherboard with the same model, you should not have to reload the chipset or have to re-install the operating system. This is not always the case but normally it is. If you have access to your personal data, you may want to back it up before replacing the motherboard just to be safe. If you are replacing the motherboard with a different model, then the chances are good that you will have to reload windows. You might be able to install just the chipset and be OK but if that doesn't work, then a re-install is needed. Below is instructions on replacing a motherboard. This is general instructions. Due to the numerous variations of computers, I am not able to go into detail but can give general instructions. For more specific instructions, consult the manufacturer of your computer. NOTE: Most if all cables and connections are easy to determine where they go. Most cables will only plug into one location only so there is no confusion where they plug in at. Also most connections are keyed so they will only go in one direction so you can't accidentally reverse them. However there are a few motherboards that uses cables that you may not be able to determine which one goes where. Before removing cables, check to see if there is more than one location that cable can plug into. You can also do the following to make sure you don't plug it in the wrong place. 1. Draw a diagram of the motherboard. 2. On the diagram...

...CRU Computer Rental Richard Sarkis, General Manager for CRU Computer Rentals, was studying the sales and financial figures for the first quarter of 1997 and was at a loss to explain the numbers. After a period of declining sales towards the end of 1996, sales had picked up over the last quarter. However, profitability continued to decline and was in fact worse than 1996. Richard had scheduled a meeting with his Vice Presidents for sales and operations and was wondering how to proceed. He had asked them to come prepared with data for the meeting. Background CRU is one of two national computer rental companies. It was started in 1990 and has seen its business grow rapidly. CRU purchases CPUs, monitors, printers and other peripherals and rents them out for long term leases as well as short term rentals. Duration of leases range from 1 day to 2 years in some cases. CRU’s 1996 revenues totaled about $15 million. The majority of CRU’s customers fit into one of the following categories: • large corporate accounts that want to stay on the cutting edge of technology and replace their machines every year and thus lease for that duration, • consulting firms and smaller business customers requiring a computer for the medium term, typically 2 to 4 months, • participants in trade shows who require a short term rental for the duration of the show. Customers expect short lead times in this business (typically one to two days) and place a high value on quick, accurate delivery...

...CRU Computer Rentals (Operational Management Assignment) Executive Summary CRU is one of the two national computer rental companies. They purchase CPU, monitor, printer and other peripherals and rent them out for long term leases and short term rentals. The case covers the problem faced by the company in 1997 when the rental market started to decline and the efforts by the company to bring up the sales plunged the company to losses. Problem Statement In 1996, they had a revenue of 15 million$ and the average number of units that were on rent was at 1000 units per week. But at the beginning of 1997, the rental market began to decline and the demand fell down to 600units per week at CRU. This was a matter of grave concern to CRU and they desperately thought of ways to bring up the utilization rate. To get around the issue, they started offering some customer incentives and also started offering bonus payments to the sales staff for new demand generated. As a result of this, the sales went up to 1400 per week with 600 of them going for 8 weeks and the remaining for 4 weeks. The average time per buffer was kept the same as that of 1996. As a result of this effort, the revenues and utilization rates went up. But contrary to the expectations of the CEO who considered utilization rate as a good figure of performance of the company, the net profit went negative. The problems here are as listed below. 1) What went wrong with the decision to launch the sales drive? What...

...Global Wine War 2009: New World versus Old “We have the people, expertise, technology and commitment to gain global preeminence for Australian wine by 2025. It will come by anticipating the market, influencing consumer demand, and building on our strategy of sustainable growth.” — Sam Toley, CEO of Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation. “By phasing out the buyback of excess wine and increasing incentives for farmers to uproot their vines, the EC reforms will only bring in the New World’s agro-industry model. We need to protect the age-old European model built on traditional vineyards.” — Jean-Louis Piton, Copa-Cogeca Farmers Association. In 2009, these two views reflected some of the very different sentiments unleashed by the fierce competitive battle raging between traditional wine makers and some new industry players as they fought for a share of the $230 billion global wine market. Many Old World wine producers—France, Italy, and Spain, for example—found themselves constrained by embedded wine-making traditions, restrictive industry regulations, and complex national and European Community legislation. This provided an opportunity for New World wine companies—from Australia, the United States, and Chile, for instance—to challenge the more established Old World producers by introducing innovations at every stage of the value chain.

...Competition Policy Newsletter Standard‑setting from a competition law perspective by Ruben Schellingerhout (1) FeAtured ArtICle Competition rules to ensure that the benefits of standards materialise Competition regulators pay attention to standard setting because legally a standard constitutes an agreement between companies. However, the Com‑ mission has always taken the view that there are also clear benefits associated with standard‑setting. As early as 1992 the Commission outlined this gen‑ eral point. (2) In its 2001 Horizontal Guidelines it therefore provided guidance on when it considered standard setting to be unproblematic. Since the adoption of the 2001 standardisation Guidelines, a number of issues have come to the fore. It became increasingly clear that malpractic‑ es were occurring in the standard setting process which could lead to serious distortions of com‑ petition. (3) In response, the Commission revised the Guidelines in 2010 to provide more guid‑ ance to standards bodies on how they could de‑ sign their rules so as to avoid restrictive effects on competition. (4) This purpose of this article is to provide the full picture on standard‑setting. It starts by outlining why competition law is concerned at all by stand‑ ards. It then covers in more detail some of the is‑ sues that have arisen. The extended guidance in the revised Guidelines is then fleshed out in more de‑ tail. Finally, some thought is given to the future of standardisation. Standards have a positive...

...have negative effect on children, and especially on teenager’s parents usually buy computers for their children’s educational resource. But teenagers, who always seek fun activities around the, use computer to play game, chat with friends and to catch up with the latest gossip on celebrities, and before they know it, they are addicted to computer. Computer can cause teenagers to be physically, mentally ill, and the more the child spends more time on computer, the more he loses time to focus on his academics, and time to communicate with his/her family. Technical is a good tool if we use its own advantage, but it would be the worst if it is used to own disadvantage.

When any student is unable to understand a particular topic, he is advised to imagine the whole matter and then try to understand it. Normally, this method succeeds. But in engineering stream considering the study of wide range of process and equipments involved in it, it is hard to understand the unit operations and processes just through books or even with imagination .Unless one happens to see the process, equipments, he is like a soldier who knows to fire the gun ,but is yet to face a war. Industrial training is one of the most vital part of a syllabus of chemical engineering, which not only teaches one the industrial unit operations, equipments and other technical aspects, but also teaches discipline, interaction with various people irrespective of their posts, the importance of teamwork, etc. This report contains a brief introduction to GUJRAT REFINERY and knowledge gathered about various units in refinery during the training.
