If you are getting ready for a career as an entry-level information technology (IT) professional or personal computer (PC) service technician, the courses in the CompTIA® A+® Certification 2006 series are the first step in your preparation. The courses in this series will build on your existing user-level knowledge and experience with personal computer software and hardware to present fundamental skills and concepts that you will use on the job. In this series of courses, you will acquire the essential skills and information you will need to install and configure peripheral and system hardware components. In Part 2: Hardware Installation, you will learn how to install and configure the different peripheral components that attach to a system. You will also learn how to install and configure the various internal system components necessary for the computer to operate successfully. The courses in the CompTIA® A+® certification 2006 series can benefit you in two ways. Whether you work or plan to work in a mobile or corporate environment where you have a high-level of face-to-face customer interaction; a remote-based environment where client interaction, client training, operating systems, and connectivity issues are emphasized; or an environment with limited customer interaction and an emphasis on hardware activities, this series of courses provides the background knowledge and skills you will require to be successful. It can also assist you if you are preparing to take the CompTIA A+ certification examinations, 2006 objectives (exam numbers 220-601, 220-602, 220-603, and 220-604), in order to become a CompTIA A+ Certified professional.

In the CompTIA® A+® Certification 2006 series of courses, you will install, upgrade, repair, configure, optimize, troubleshoot, and perform preventative maintenance on basic personal computer hardware and operating systems. In this second course in the series, you will learn how to install and configure various peripheral and system components.
