Testing Computer System

Is your Personal Computer (PC) healthy? Don't be too sure. Think back to the times
when you heard a kerklunk sound coming from the hard drive or maybe recall the last time
your Internet connection was down.

The best way to find out what is wrong with your PC is to take a proactive approach: Check
your PC with some of the free diagnostic tools, and see if anything is amiss--before disaster
strikes.

Three Major Components of Computer System:

1. Hardware 2. Software 3. Firmware

Testing Your Hardware Testing Your Software Test Your Firmware

• Check your computer
hardware and its
peripherals

Testing the Wireless NIC

Directions: In this activity, you will check the status of your wireless connection, investigate
the availability of wireless networks, and test connectivity.

Recommended Equipment:
Computer, Ethernet Cable, Wireless Router, Broadband Modem
Step 1 Figure 1. Computer System Network

 Step 3
• Ping the default gateway.

Note:
A successful ping indicates that there
is a connection between the computer
and the default gateway.

After accomplishing the task, you need
to write a technical report regarding the
test conducted.
