P1 – Describe the reasons for and implications of installing
hardware components
Why do we install hardware?
Routine Maintenance
A regular routine check, mainly once a year; to check that the hardware and
software are up to date, It also checks whether your computer is in working
order and that all the components are working.
For example this could mean
cleaning the dust off the fans.
Fault repair
When you’re using a computer it could occasionally breakdown without
warning leaving you without a computer.
The IT department can normally fix
the problem within 24hours.
This means one of the components may have
broken and may need a repair.
Upgrade
Sometimes you need to upgrade to be able to make your computer work
faster and operate quicker.
You have to upgrade your computers equipment
so that it can run more smoothly.
At times the computer may not be powerful
enough to run the new equipment so you have to upgrade it all to allow it to
run the new equipment.
