Activity 2: Read the manual

Locate a user manual/installation guide for a hardware component or software application. This may be one from your own computer system or you may need to contact your teacher/supervisor for further information.

Alternatively, most manufacturers now publish their user guides in the Support section of their website. For example, search for a user guide for a PCI sound card.

List the details provided on the installation guide/user manual in the categories listed here. (Note: Not all information may be available from your documentation.)
