Acknowledgment
Acknowledgment "We have taken efforts in this project. This
book would have not been possible without the support and
encouragement of our Teacher. We are highly grateful to
members of group for their guidance and constant supervision as
well as for providing necessary information regarding the project
& also for their support in completing the project. If you would
ever like any more information from us, please feel free to call
me or any member of my staff directly. Enclosed you will find
information cards should you know of anyone who may benefit
from our services of server room. I would like to say thanks to
my friends for helping me along with the production of this book.
My thanks and appreciations also go to my colleague in
developing the project and people who have willingly helped me
out with their abilities." I would like to take this opportunity to
my teacher Prof. Shahzad jaffar whose guidance and
encouragement has enabled me to complete this project. I learnt a
lot of things from this project.

 It has 100 computers in lab for the use of students and teachers.
 Students use computer lab for presentation and practical work.
 There are many software install in computers for the help for study.
 Furniture available.
 Use in computer lab DNS SERVER,DHCP SERVER,WEB

5. Wireless router.
6. Cable covers on walls (raceways).
7. Open layout design for students with special mobility needs
This lab design also features armless chairs for streamlined movement
(actual product will be black), additional storage in the four printer and
scanner stands, and a center conference room table for group work and
additional surface space for “hands-on” learning such as hardware care
and maintenance.
The overall lab design is intended to meet the needs of students,
including those with disabilities.

Hardware
 The student workstation was selected because it contains components
such as expandable RAM (up to 32 GB), a powerful CPU, a 1TB hard
drive, 64-bit graphics card able to support streaming media, a high
resolution LCD monitor with built-in speakers, an HD webcam,
Windows 7, Microsoft Office and Norton Antivirus.
 The additional monitor allows the teacher to multitask during grading,
test proctoring and lesson development and also allows the teacher to
use Synchronizes.
 A Cisco 48 portswitch was selected for networking power and
speed, and 48 ports provides this lab with room for expansion.
Cables and Connectivity
 In order to save Any city High Schoolmoney on the productionof
this lab, high quality Cat6 cable was purchased in 1000ft bulk, along
with tools to create network cables.
 This way, cables maybe custom made for this lab to reduce cable
clutter and material waste from cutting unneeded pre-made cables to
the correct length. Six-port keystone faceplates were chosen to
provide room for growth.
 The design team will leave any unused materials with Any City
High School, so in the event that any expansions or repairs need to
be made, some materials will already be onsite.
 Raceways were also purchased in 50ft bulk spools to create custom
raceways for this lab. Again, being able to cut the exact
measurement needed from bulk material reduces waste and saves
the schoolmoney.
Structured Cabling
The two most popular types of structured network cabling are twisted-
pair (also known as 10BaseT)and thin coax(also known as 10Base2).
10BaseT cabling looks like ordinary telephone wire, except that it has 8
wires inside instead of 4. Thin coax looks like the coppercoaxial cabling
that's often used to connect a Video Recorder to a TV

10BaseT Cabling
When 10BaseT cabling is used, a strand of cabling is inserted between
each computer and a hub. If you have 5 computers, you'll need 5 cables.
Each cable cannot exceed 325 feet in length. Because the cables from all
of the PCs converge at a common point, a 10BaseT network forms a star
configuration.
 Fig 4a shows a Cat5e cable, with a standard connector, known as
an RJ-45 connector.
 Fig 4b shows a standard Cat5e Wall Outlet socketwhich the
cables are connected to.
 Fig 4c shows a standard Cat5e Patch Panel Wall Outlet socket
which is used to terminate the cables from various points in the
schoolbank to a central point.
 Fig 4d shows a wall mounted cabinet used to house and protect
patch panel cables and connectors.

10BaseT cabling is available in different grades or categories.Some
grades, or "cats", are required for Fast Ethernet networks, while others are
perfectly acceptable for standard 10Mbps networks--and less expensive,
too. All new networks use a minimum of standard unshielded twisted-
pair (UTP).
Category5e 10BaseT cabling because it offers a performance advantage
over lower grades.
Network Interface Card (NIC)
A NIC (pronounced 'nick') is also known as a network card. It connects
the computer to the cabling, which in turn links all of the computers on
the network together. Each computer on a network must have a network
card. Most modern network cards are 10/100 NICs and can operate at
either 10Mbps or 100Mbps.Only NICs supporting a minimum of
100Mbps should be used in new installations students.Computers with a
wireless connection to a network also use a network card (see Advice
Sheet 20 for more information on wireless networking).

Hub and Switch
 A hub is a device used to connect a PC to the network. The function
of a hub is to direct information around the network, facilitating
communication between all connected devices. However in new
installations switches should be used instead of hubs as they are
more effective and provide better performance. A switch, which is
often termed a 'smart hub'.
 Switches and hubs are technologies or ‘boxes’ to which computers,
printers, and other networking devices are connected. Switches are
the more recent technology and the accepted way of building
today's networks. With switching, each connection gets "dedicated
bandwidth" and can operate at full speed. In contrast, a hub shares
bandwidth across multiple connections such that activity from one
PC or server can slow down the effective speed of other connections

Wireless Networks
The term 'wireless network' refers to two or more computers
communicating using standard network rules or protocols, but without the
use of cabling to connect the computers together. Instead, the computers
use wireless radio signals to send information from one to the other. A
wireless local area network (WLAN) consists of two key components: an
access point (also called a base station) and a wireless card. Information
can be transmitted between these two components as long as they are
fairly close together (up to 100 metres indoors or 350 metres outdoors).
Fig 7a: Wireless Access point or Wireless Basestation
Suppliers would need to visit the students and conduct a site survey. This
will determine the number of base stations you need and the best place(s)
to locate them. A site survey will also enable each supplier to provide you
with a detailed quote. It is important to contact a number of different
suppliers as prices, equipment and opinions may vary. When the term
'wireless network' is used today, it usually refers to a wireless local area
network or WLAN. A WLAN can be installed as the sole network in a
school or building.

The Any city SchoolDistrict utilizes Windows and Microsoft products in
its offices and other computer labs. Therefore, this lab design also features
Windows.
Products to be consistent with the schooldistrict. As stated in the
workstation specification, each workstation comes equipped with
Windows 7 operating system and Microsoft Office. Students will be able
to take advantage of the Microsoft tools to write reports, create tables,
spreadsheets, and calendars, and prepare PowerPoint presentations.
This is a list of software which we use in schoolcomputer lab.
 Ms Office word
 Ms PowerPoint
 Ms Excel
 Window 7
 Window 8
 Window 10
 Window xp
 Antivirus
 Adobereader
 Photos shop
 IDM (Internet Download Manager)
 Photo Editor

Conclusion
This lab design was created to provide students with an environment that enables
intensive technology work, self-study work, group work, and a forum to watch
demonstrations and lectures. It’s intended to be accessible to students with special
needs and designed with the safety of students as well as the equipment in mind.
Its design includes easy access formaintenance, as well as room for growth. We
believe this lab will serve the students of Any city High Schoolwell for years to
come.
