List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare to install a server | 1.1 Prepare for work in line with site-specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures 1.2 Notify customer to arrange site access 1.3 Obtain server applications and features from appropriate personnel 1.4 Choose the most suitable server with reference to required server application and server features 1.5 Choose the most suitable network operating system features with reference to required server solution and technical requirements 1.6 Provide alternative server solutions with reference to required server application and server features 1.7 Review required installation options 1.8 Analyse data migration requirements 1.9 Apply back-up and recovery requirements with reference to organisational policy 1.10 Analyse education and training requirements for support staff and in line with client requirements and relevant enterprise policies 1.11 Create and document a deployment plan 1.12 Advise user group of deployment and potential down times |
2. Install and configure the server | 2.1 Back up and restore local data in preparation for installation 2.2 Install and configure the server as required by technical requirements and functional specifications 2.3 Install and undertake configuration activities using relevant operating system and application upgrades 2.4 Reconnect and reconfigure relevant connectivity devices |
3.Test server and reconfigure the network | 3.1 Run system testing for benchmarking against client specification and requirements according to test plan, and record outcomes 3.2 Analyse the error report and make changes as required 3.3 Test required changes or additions 3.4 Validate changes or additions against specifications |
4.Complete documentation and clean worksite | 4.1 Make and document server configuration and operational changes 4.2 Tabulate test results and complete all documentation for users 4.3 Complete client report and notify of network status 4.4 Clean up and restore worksite to client’s satisfaction 4.5 Secure sign-off from appropriate person |
Evidence of ability to:
analyse server and network operational issues
apply user applications and relate to user needs when configuring a server
create technical and user documentation
install and configure server
test server and reconfigure network
troubleshoot server and network failures.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the Australian Computer Society Code of Ethics
describe the following aspects of a common network:
cable types and connectors
topologies
explain compatibility issues and resolution procedures
summarise desktop applications and operating systems
outline documentation requirements for networks
describe typical enterprise communication and training systems for staff involved in deployment
outline features of:
current network operating systems (NOS)
current server applications compatibility issues and resolution procedures
outline implementation and configuration of servers
explain system back-up procedures.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:
a site where server installation may be conducted
relevant server specifications
cabling
networked local area network (LAN) computers
server diagnostic software
switch
technical requirements for a network
wide area network (WAN) service point of presence
workstations
relevant regulatory documentation impacting installation activities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
