Document the installation of a multi-user networked operating system. The performance of all elements is to a standard that allows for further learning in this area.
Course Content
Unit 1: Plan the installation of system software for a multi-user networked operating system
- The plan reviews the specification of the computer system software in order to identify and explain the feasibility of the specification
- The plan specifies milestones and estimates the time and resources required for the installation
- The plan ensures that the installation is scheduled to minimise disruption to the users
- The plan identifies tasks that are vulnerable to standard risks and assesses the probability and impact of those risks
- The plan identifies measures to be taken to minimise risk, and the contingency measures to be adopted in the event of a risk manifesting itself
- The plan adopts a review procedure which ensures that the final outcome meets user requirements according to service level agreements
Unit 2: Install a multi-user networked operating system
- The installation the procedure follows the manufacturer’s guidelines
- The installation ensures that the system software operates according to manufacturer’s specifications
- The installation ensures that the system software operates according to the installation specification
- The installation ensures that the pre-installation environment is restored in the event of an unsuccessful installation
Unit 3: Configure a multi-user networked operating system
- The configuration ensures that the system software is customized according to the installation specifications
- The configuration ensures that the customized system software performs according to the manufacturers and company installation specifications
Unit 4: Test the installation and configuration of a multi-user networked operating system
- The test verifies that the system software functions according to the manufacturer’s specification
- The test procedure meets the manufacturer’s guidelines
- The test verifies that the system software functions in the specified environment
- The test verifies that the system software communicates with the hardware and other application software according to the installation specification
Unit 5: Document the installation of a multi-user networked operating system
- The documentation specifies the configuration and customisation
- The documentation shows the results of testing
- The documentation includes evidence of acceptance by the user
- The documentation explains basic user operating procedures
