Here are some updates for the past week.
6th Dec
I am supposed to provide some updates some days ago, but I can't find the time to write. Anyway, here are some updates on system maintenance on the systems.
System Maintenance:
- Area Cleaning
- Clean and clear off the dust residing in systems since last semester... Well, as many of you might know that dust is fatal to the electronic components. Dust love to attach to the cpu fans, casing fans, etc. I don't want a dusty power supply that easily heat up and ultimately kill my systems. Took them off and clean them one by one.
- Update all necessary patches for all systems
- Check those IDE & SATA hard drives are still in working condition
- Evaluating the rerouting paths for optimal performance
- Evaluating and reconfiguring systems using Google Public DNS
10th Dec: Lost my ezlink card .... Broke =(
12th Dec:
Unfortunate Incident
While testing out one of the systems, accidentally used a sharp object and brushed onto one of the cpu fan while the system is running. As a result, one of the fan blades flew out. I stopped the testing and I had to canceled all the rest of the events in the latter part of the day and I quickly purchased a new fan and installed it. I did a more through cleaning for the old heatsink and the broken fan.
- wong chee tat :)
