Assignment brief
Assignment title
The aim of this unit is to enable learners to develop the skills to troubleshoot, find appropriate
remedies and repair a range of hardware and software faults in computer systems. The unit will
also ensure learners understand how organisational policies can affect troubleshooting activities.
Scenario
You work for a medium sized organization in the ISU department. Your duties are to
maintain the computer infrastructure of the organization. This involves general day to day
maintenance tasks as well as fault diagnosis, repair and upgrading for both hardware and
software.
You are to troubleshoot, identify and resolve various faults which have arisen with the IT
equipment within the organisation.
Task 1
Several computers have developed faults of varying severity, using a range of both
hardware and software tools identify those faults. (P2)
Produce a short report for each of the above problems which identify the sources of
information that were used to find solutions to the problems and which were employed. (P3)
Apply the solutions found to the problems that you have identified. The repairs must be
carried out in a safe manner. (P4)
It is essential that accurate and comprehensive records are kept of any work that is carried
out during the repair process. (P6)
Ensure that any relevant data is protected, by using various methods, during the repair
process. (M3)
Describe clearly how you would communicate effectively with users during the repair
process bearing in mind the amount of technical knowledge that the user may or may not
have. (M1)
Produce a report in which you justify the remedy you have chosen for each of the problems
identified. (M2)
Finally expand the report to include a comparison of the range of software and hardware
tools that are available for the purpose of troubleshooting. The report should identify the
pros and cons of each of the tools and compare like for like tools as to their suitability, ease
of use, cost etc. (D2)
