    Physical Computer Upgrade and Maintenance

    CHAPTER ONE

    1.1 Introduction

    In the context of this research study, a control system for the upgrade and maintenance of computers is an interconnection of software modules, making up a system that enables users to monitor and perform maintenance activities on the computer system on which it is installed so that they give the desired system response. Just like a car and a house, a computer also needs maintenance to ensure its durability. The condition of a system or asset is the physical ability considered relevant for fulfillment of the functions of its functions. As the condition deteriorates due to aging, use and other factors, the system or asset may loose its capability to fulfill it function and a failure occurs. Maintenance assists organizations in controlling, preventing and reducing periods of unavailability (Rign, 2004).

    As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.

    1.2 Background of Study

    The computer system has grown to become an indispensable tool in the processing, storage, retrieval and transmission of information. In view of these vital functions of the computer system, it is adequate that the maintenance of computer systems is performed to enable the system last longer. To ensure this, computer maintenance engineers perform some regular routine activities to monitor the state of the computer system so that it performs its expected functions. In the light of the importance of computer maintenance activities, it is adequate for a control system for the maintenance of computers to be developed. It will go a long way to ensure that the systems are in good condition and it will also help to monitor the maintenance state of the systems.

    Preventive Maintenance Inspection (PMI) is very important to preserve the reliability of a computer system and it peripherals. Through careful inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, our computer workstations will perform better and last longer than those that are neglected. The PMI is a type of control system for the maintenance of computers that allow system users to detect serious problems before they occur and perhaps prevent system crashes and reduce equipment down time. Preventive maintenance is also periodic in nature. In fact, PMI sometimes stands for Periodic Maintenance Inspection. This information can be programmed so as to have a computerized system that will facilitate monitoring of computer maintenance activities.

    Therefore, in Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to know the Physical Computer Upgrade and Maintenance.

    1.3 Statement of Problems

    Investigation revealed that many computer users are troubled over the rate of breakdown and malfunction of their computer systems. Most times the problems arise as a result of the lack of regular maintenance activities. In addition, since a computer system may contain important files, the lack of proper maintenance may bring about data loss if the system breaks down because of virus attacks and other system threats. Also, the inexperience of computer users on how to maintain the computer system also brings about the problem of system breakdown it is in view of these problems that this research study is carried out to design and implement a control system for the maintenance of computers.

    1.4 Aim and Objectives of Study

    The aim of the study is to examine the processes involved in upgrading and maintaining a computer system. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:

    1. To examine the PC handling procedure for proper maintenance of the computer system
    2. To determine the need for upgrade and maintenance control of the computer system
    3. To determine the activities involved in maintenance control system
    4. To determine the limitations of a control system for the upgrade and maintenance of computers.

    1.5 Research Questions

    The study came up with research questions so as to be able to ascertain the above stated objectives. The specific research questions for the study are stated below as follows:

    • What is the PC handling procedure for proper maintenance of the computer system?
    • What are the activities involved in maintenance control system?
    • What is the limitations of a control system for the upgrade and maintenance of computers?
    • What is the relevance of the need for upgrade and maintenance control of the computer system?

    1.6 Significance of Study

    The significance of the study is that it will provide an effective means to control, perform and monitor the upgrade and maintenance activities of computer systems. The study is also significant in that it will serve as a useful research material for other researchers seeking information pertaining to the subject. It will provide an easy avenue to perform maintenance routine on computer systems.

    This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.

    1.7 Scope of Study

    The scope of the research is focused on the Upgrade and Maintenance processes involved in a Physical Computer System.

    1.8 Limitations of the Study

    During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:

    1. Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
    2. Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
    3. Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.
    4. Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview).

    1.9 Definition of Terms

    Maintenance: Work that is done regularly to keep a machine, building, or piece of equipment in good working condition.

    Control System: An interconnection of components forming a system configuration that will provide a desired system response.

    Troubleshooting: The act or process of identifying and eliminating problems or faults, especially in electronic or computer equipment
