Revision as of 10:03, 10 September 2010

This lab requires you to write a report. The report is due 9/17/10 at 11:59 p.m. + 1 minute. The report has to be a Wiki page, which should be accessible from here.


Setup

  • Take apart an old PC, disassemble it completely, and identify all the parts...

Photos

  • Below is a list of photos taken during the lab (Thanks Rebecca!)

Lab Report

  • Create a wiki page (demonstrated during lecture of 9/10/10) linked to your name. The main URL for the student wiki page is http://cs.smith.edu/classwiki/index.php/CSC231_Page_(2010)
  • Your wiki should have your name (or first name, if you prefer not to have your last name on world wide available pages, that's fine with me).
  • The class number (CSC231)
  • The date
  • a paragraph describing the goal for the lab, and including a description of the type of computer we took apart (PC, Mac, laptop?).
  • Make sure you document the main players for our class this semester: the processor and the memory! Because these are important, feel free to describe them more at length.
  • A list of all the parts that were identified and/or removed. Each item should have a picture, and a paragraph (up to 5 lines) describing its function in a computer.
  • If there is a part which we identified but for which there is no photo available here, use one from the Web.
  • If you include photos from other Web sites, make sure you create links and references to the outside URLs.
  • Feel free to format the wiki page with more sophisticated features than we saw in class.
