a. Multiple electronic fault insertion system: This system should allow for 20 faults to be
inserted at any one time. Faults can be inserted individually or in groups.
b. Circuit block Diagram Electronic Fault Display Panel: Features electronic schematic
block diagram with faults indicated by LEDs. When the fault is electronically activated a
corresponding LED will illuminate showing the fault is active.
c. Student Testing Mode: The LED fault indication display can be deactivated, so that the
faults can be active but the display is switched off.
d. Electronic Fault Reset Button: The LED control should have a fault-reset button that will
clear and reset the system back to normal.
e. Test Points: The trainer should have short circuit protected test points that allow the
student to take measurements during the troubleshooting exercises

2. COMPUTER ASSEMBLY KITS

Features:
This Computer Systems Servicing Trainers should come complete with all components required to
build a state-of-the-art Personal Computer in kit form. The trainer should be ideal for classroom
training and projects and could be used to teach students in advanced troubleshooting techniques
to evaluate, isolate and identify several malfunctions down to the board or module level. The
student could practice build up and assembly exercises and when the fully operation computer,
the trainer could then be used for further training in maintenance and troubleshooting. Upgrading
exercises could be performed such as memory, CD-ROM, video graphics cards and sound cards.
The training program should matches with the CompTIA A+ certification requirements and comes
with a special preparation Textbook and manual for the A+ program. The Students should be able
to learn about the components that make up a PC system, how to assemble and test the
components in order to form an operational system, how to take measurements using a digital
Multimeter, how to modify the BIOS, develop a mastery of the latest operating systems and learn
basic system servicing. These computer trainers must also be able to be used with the LAN
training systems as additional terminals so as to set up various LAN configurations.

Courseware:
The courseware should be as follows:
