5. Key features of Operating Systems
Windows 2003 Server (Standard Edition)
• Distributed File System (DFS): DFS allows multiple network shares
to be aggregated as a virtual file system.
• Support for SAN and iSCSI : Computers can connect to a Storage
Server over the LAN, and there is no need for a separate fibre channel
network. Thus a Storage Area Network can be created over the LAN
itself. iSCSI uses the SCSI protocol to transfer data as a block of
bytes, rather than as a file. This increases performance of the Storage
network in some scenarios, such as using a database server.
• Virtual Disc Service: It allows NAS devices, RAID devices and SAN
shares to be exposed and managed as if they were normal hard drives.
• JBOD systems: JBOD (Just a bunch of discs) systems, by using VDS,
can manage a group of individual storage devices as a single unit.
There is no need for the storage units to be of the same make and
model.
• Software and Hardware RAID: Windows Storage Server 2003 has
intrinsic support for hardware implementation of RAID In case
hardware support is not available, it can use software enabled RAID.
In that case, all processing is done by the OS.
• Multi Path IO (MPIO): It provides an alternate connection to IO
devices in case the primary path is down.
• Summary: Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition, provides a
comprehensive server platform that is easy to deploy, manage, and
use—and helps businesses to lower TCO. Thanks in part to the support
of many Microsoft third-party hardware and software partners,
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition, helps organizations
achieve the greatest return on their server investments.

6. Windows XP Professional :
• Faster start-up and hibernation sequences
• The ability to discard a newer device driver in favor of the previous
one (known as driver rollback), should a driver upgrade not produce
desirable results
• A new, arguably more user-friendly interface, including the framework
for developing themes for the desktop environment
• Fast user switching , which allows a user to save the current state and
open applications of their desktop and allow another user to log on
without losing that information
• The ClearType font rendering mechanism, which is designed to
improve text readability on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and similar
monitors
• Remote Desktop functionality, which allows users to connect to a
computer running Windows XP from across a network or the Internet
and access their applications, files, printers, and devices
• Support for most DSL modems and wireless network connections, as
well as networking over FireWire and Bluetooth .
Key Features of Switch:
The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series is a line of fixed-configuration, enterprise-
class switches that include IEEE 802.3af and Cisco pre-standard Power over
Ethernet (PoE) functionality in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
configurations. These are ideal access layer switches for small enterprise
LAN access or branch-office environments. Combining both 10/100/1000
and PoE configurations for maximum productivity and investment protection,

7. they help you deploy new applications such as IP telephony, wireless access,
video surveillance, building management systems, and remote video kiosks
Key Feature Cisco 3600 Series:
• Internet/intranet access with Firewall security
• Multiservice voice/video/data integration
• Analog and digital dial access services
• Virtual Private Network (VPN) access
• Inter-VLAN routing
• Routing with Bandwidth Management
Key Feature of Canon Printer:
The high performance Canon LBP-2000 will keep the entire workgroup
running at full speed. It can print 20 pages A3 size per minute.Its superior
image quality makes text and graphics leap off every page with user-
selectable print resolutions up to 1200 x 600 dpi.

Estimated time for the hardware and software installation:
Installation Time Required
Installation of Server and clients. 40 min each
Installation of New hardware 30 min.
Installation of Switch 20 min.
Installation of Internet access card 15min.
Installation of Router 30 min.
Training 60 min. per group
Total Time 200 min approx.

9. Instructions to Alan Smith for the broadband Internet access card:
Step1: Plug in Wireless Internet Access card to USB slot.
Step2: Install the required drivers.
Step2: Check for the available IP Address and assign it to the computer.
Step3: Restart computer.
Step4: Finally check the Intranet network through the host computer and
share the files.
Training:
Divide the number of employees in various groups and train them as
groups in their provided time schedule.
Benefits:
• Less time more output with a very less cost.
• Good learning environment with greater new techniques.
Instructions to training Manager for the installation of new hardware
1: Open the chassis or the casing and insert data cable into the IDE Slots of
the motherboard.
2. Now fix the DVD Rom inside the casing and connect it with other end of
data cable.

10. 3: Restart the computer and check the device in the computer.
4: IF the hardware is not found then try installing driver by Inserting driver
CD to CD ROM.
