Course Goal
Our Sun Desktop Maintenance Course will prepare students to operate, configure and maintain Sun desktop systems and peripherals. Desktop systems are used to convey fundamental concepts for all Unix/Sun systems.
In this course, students will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to work with the Solaris operating system, configure Sun desktop systems, troubleshoot faulty desktop systems and components to the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), leverage Internet and Multimedia resources, and use device replacement to restore desktop systems to proper functioning order.
This course is intended for field service and support personnel.
This course uses active learning to involve the students in their classroom learning and to develop practices that will encourage continuous self-learning. Students will meet the course objectives through interactive classroom discussion, focused hands-on lab exercises, self-guided research, and scenario-based troubleshooting.
