STEP 1: Accessing the virtual lab environment and scheduling the lab
Access the virtual lab environment and schedule the Using the vim Editor in Linux lab for week 5.
Important: All Labs must be submitted using the iLabTechnicalReportTemplate to the lab Dropbox for credit.
STEP 2: Access the command prompt
After successfully scheduling and launching the Using the vim Editor virtual lab, click on the begin lab button. The Red Hat Linux desktop will appear. To access the command prompt, click on the red hat icon and select system tools and then terminal. You may also access the command prompt by right clicking on the Red Hat Linux desktop and choosing terminal from the menu. Either method will allow you to access the command prompt. Note the command prompt will appear as [root@redhat root]#. Take a screen shot of this portion. For a demonstration on how to access the virtual lab Red Hat Linux command prompt and starting the vi editor, view the accessing vi editor video.
STEP 3: Using the ls command
In this step, you use the ls command to find information about the file systems on a RedHat Linux system. This step is activity 4-5 of your text. Refer to page 159 of your eBook for step-by-step instructions. Note: skip steps 1-4. These steps are not required, since you have a virtual lab platform. Begin with step 5 and take a screen shot of this portion. For a demonstration on how to perform this step, view the week 5 step 3 video.
STEP 4: Creating Directories
In this step, you use the mkdir command to create directories in a RedHat Linux directory structure. This step is activity 4-11 of your text. Refer to page 169 of your eBook for step-by-step instructions. Note: skip steps 1-4. These steps are not required, since you have a virtual lab platform. In step 5, type cd /home and press enter, this will place you in the home directory and your command prompt should now read[root@redhat root home]#. Begin with step 6 and take a screen shot of the different commands as you complete them. For a demonstration on how to perform this step, view the week 5 step 4 video.
STEP 5: Removing Directories (10 points)
In this step, you use the rmdir command to create directories in a RedHat Linux directory structure. This step is activity 4-14 of your text. Refer to page 175 of your eBook for step-by-step instructions. Note: skip steps 1-4. These steps are not required, since you have a virtual lab platform. In step 5, type cd /home and press enter, this will place you in the home directory and your command prompt should now read [root@redhat root home]#. Begin with step 6 and take a screen shot of the different commands as you complete them. Corrections for this activity, your activity states that using the rmdirmynewdir/myseconddir command will remove both directories. This is not correct, this command will only remove the myseconddir. You will need to type rmdirmynewdir to remove the mynewdir directory. For a demonstration on how to perform this step, view the week 5 step 5 video.
STEP 6: Working with files
In this step, you use the rmdir command to create directories in a RedHat Linux directory structure. This step is activity 4-17 of your text. Refer to page 185 of your eBook for step-by-step instructions. Note: skip steps 1-5. These steps are not required, since you have a virtual lab platform. In step 6, type cd /home and press enter, this will place you in the home directory and your command prompt should now read [root@redhat root home]#. Begin with step 6 and take a screen shot of the different commands as you complete them. Corrections for this activity, your activity states to use the command mv mynewfile /home/User01/myfourthdir. This is not correct. This command must be typed using the following syntax mv mynewfile /home/myfourthdir . You will also receive the following warning after completing step 16 of activity4-17, rm: remove regular file 'mynewfile'?, type yes and press enter. For a demonstration on how to perform this step, view the week 5 step 6 video.
STEP 7: Finding files
In this step, you use the rmdir command to create directories in a RedHat Linux directory structure. This step is activity 5-15 of your text. Refer to page 242 of your eBook for step-by-step instructions. Note: skip steps 1-4. These steps are not required, since you have a virtual lab platform. In step 5, type cd /home instead of cd /home/User01 and press enter, this will place you in the home directory and your command prompt should now read [root@redhat root home]#. Begin with step 7 and take a screen shot of the different commands as you complete them. Note: pressing ctrl c, will allow you to escape from any of the commands you enter. For a demonstration on how to perform this step, view the week 5 step 7 video.
STEP 8: Exiting the virtual lab
Once you have successfully completed the required work, close the terminal session of your Red Hat Linux. You can now end the virtual lab session. Once you have completed the lab report and attached your screenshots, submit it to the week 5 iLabdropbox.

TCO: 1 Given a computer system diagram, list the common input devices, output devices, and other associated ports, such as AT Keyboard/ 5pin DIN, Printer/25 Pin Parallel port LPT1, Monitor/15pin VGA port, etc.
You have just been hired by ABC Inc. They received a shipment of new PCs 10 months before you were hired, but all the documentation has been misplaced. You will need to identify the resources assigned to each system component. Using the device manager in Windows, document the information on the following resources and be sure to include all resources (DMA channel, I/O Addresses, interrupt Request and Memory information). Note: not all devices require all four types of resources.
1 PS2 mouse 1 Keyboard 1 Display Adapter 1 Floppy Drive (if available) 1 LPT Printer Port 1 Network Card Com Ports (if available)
Deliverables
Desired (Lab) Learning Outcome: After completing the lab, you should be able to successfully identify the components on the physical machines by using device manager or other Windows based Utilities.
You are required to complete the Lab Report Template listed in step one of this page. In addition, you must submit along with the lab report template a screen shot of each component and its resources.
Note: You will be graded based on the steps and tasks you complete successfully. Credit will be given for partial completions of steps.
Important:
All iLabs must be submitted following iLabTechnicalReportTemplate document and the report file must be dropped into the corresponding bascket in the drop box!

Before beginning, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the different views available in device manager. For example, click on the view menu tab and navigate through the different views. You can view the devices by type and connection, or the resources by type and connection. You will need to determine which view provides the best information to meet the objectives of this lab.
STEP 4: Capturing screen shots and Documenting your iLab:
In order to complete this lab you will need to submit screen shots of each device and resources being used by the device.
STEP 5: Exiting the lab
Once you have successfully completed the required work, exit from the device manager utility. You can now end the virtual lab session. Once you have completed the lab report, submit it to the week 1 iLabdropbox.
