Every Doggi System computer is custom built 2 your specifications, then tested, benchmarked, & certified by our trained technicians before we package & ship it 2 your desk.

Assembly

One of our trained & certified technicians gathers Da’ pre-tested components required 4 each individual system order.

He records Da’ serial numbers of all major system pieces 4 security & warranty compliance.

We use no powered tools 4 tightening screws.

The proper case is chosen based on Da’ model selected, & Da’ cover is removed & stored back inside Da’ cardboard container along with Da’ power cord & any additional items, such as detached feet on some cases.

Any additional case fans are installed in Da’ proper vent areas, & Da’ drive slot covers are removed & placed inside Da’ box 4 Da’ customer’s future use.

The nuts 4 Da’ motherboard screws are installed in Da’ correct configuration 2 align with Da’ chosen motherboard & tightened securely with a nut driver.

Motherboard Insertion

Any concealed wiring 2 be done under Da’ motherboard is taped down in place 2 hold Da’ wires while it is set in place.

The motherboard receives Da’ CPU & RAM prior 2 installation 2 avoid stress & possible damage from Da’ pressure required 2 securely seat Da’ RAM modules.

It is placed into Da’ case & all screws are tightened by hand with a screw driver in a special rotating pattern 2 ensure no binding or pressure is placed on Da’ board.

The power cable, case fan cable, CPU fan cable, power on button, reset button, internal speaker, & all case LED light cables are connected.

Video Card Installation & Power Up Test

The video card is placed in its proper AGP or PCI slot, & Da’ screw is securely tightened by hand with a screw driver 2 avoid over-tightening.

A keyboard & video monitor are attached 2 Da’ proper connectors, & Da’ power supply receives a power cord.

The system is started, & checks are made 4 Da’ power supply & fan, Da’ case fan, & Da’ CPU fan.

As Da’ system begins 2 boot, we check Da’ display 4 proper RAM count, then launch Da’ motherboard BIOS controls.

The time & date are set, & Da’ proper CPU settings are made.

The changes 2 Da’ BIOS are saved, & Da’ system is restarted 2 be sure Da’ changes were accepted by Da’ BIOS.

The system is then powered off, & Da’ keyboard, monitor, & power supply are disconnected.

Disk Drive Installation

The CD-ROM or DVD drive is inserted in Da’ top 5¼ drive bay with all eight screws installed 2 eliminate unwanted vibrations that could cause read errors or cause Da’ drive 2 reduce speed 2 read disks. Any additional 5¼” devices are installed similarly.

The floppy drive is inserted in Da’ top 3½” drive bay & secured with all four screws 2 eliminate unwanted vibration.

The hard drive is installed, with all screws, in Da’ bottom drive bay, closest 2 Da’ bottom of Da’ case where Da’ air is cooler.

Extra long drive cables are attached 4 each device, starting at Da’ top & proceeding downward 2 prevent tangling.

The power cables 4 each device are then inserted in each device, starting at Da’ bottom & working back upward 2 keep Da’ cables untangled.

Rubber bands are used temporarily 2 restrain extra cabling & allow 4 clear view of Da’ motherboard.

Any unused power supply sockets are covered over with electrical tape 2 prevent arcing or shorting.

Motherboard & Processor Updates

The latest motherboard BIOS is downloaded from Da’ vendor's website & used 2 flash update Da’ motherboard.

Also, Da’ latest processor updates are downloaded from Da’ processor motherboard manufacturer's web site.

The processor update is run 2 add important fixes, patches, & corrections 2 Da’ fundamental interaction between Da’ motherboard & processor. These steps can significantly reduce system errors & lockups.

Windows pre-installation. Da’ keyboard, monitor, power cord, & mouse are re-inserted & Da’ system is again powered up.

The display is checked 2 ensure Da’ hard disk & CD-ROM or DVD is auto-detected before launching Da’ motherboard BIOS.

The BIOS is set 4 boot sequence CD-ROM, then A drive, then C drive. Other settings are made 4 proper operation & then Da’ BIOS adjustments are saved, & Da’ system restarted again.

The system re-boots 2 our floppy disk & formats Da’ hard drive before Windows is copied 2 Da’ drive & installed.

Audio Card, Modem, & network card installation.

Only after Windows has been successfully installed do we shut down Da’ system & insert Da’ additional devices, one at a time.

Each card is inserted, secured tightly, & Da’ system started & drivers & software installed.

Another restart ensures all systems are properly installed & functioning before it is shut down again.

System Optimization

We make adjustments & tweaks 2 Da’ motherboard BIOS & Windows settings 2 ensure peak performance.

Software is installed 4 system monitoring & management, & settings 4 RAM management, video performance, & disk performance are optimized 2 work best 4 your exact system.

The very latest software driver updates are downloaded from Da’ appropriate vendor’s website & installed 4 peak performance.

CPU Cooling software may be installed, as well as disk caching software 4 some hard drive models, 2 further enhance performance.

Customer support information is placed on Da’ computer 4 easy access 2 contact information.

AntiVirus protection is also installed & Da’ latest virus catalog updated.

Cable Organization & Tie-down

The rubber bands are removed from Da’ IDE or SCSI devices & Da’ cables are coiled loosely 2 prevent crimping Da’ delicate internal wires, & tucked neatly out of view as much as possible.

Each cable receives one or two cable ties applied snug, but not too tightly, 2 hold Da’ cable in place but allow 4 easy removal during future upgrading.

The cables are pulled toward Da’ sides of Da’ case 2 allow proper air flow through Da’ center of Da’ case 4 cooling. All other cables are similarly secured with hand tightened cable ties & all extra tie length is cut & removed.

The case cables are braided together before being tied down. Da’ case cover is not installed until final overnight testing.

Testing

Every Doggi System computer is tested 4 assembly quality & performance quality.

Da’ assembly technician tests Da’ system with our 200 point checklist, then Da’ system receive a rigorous battery of diagnostic software testing & benchmarking 2 ensure proper performance.

The final test, however, is a physical inspection by our trained technicians.

Assembly Testing

Our checklist runs Da’ gamut from loose or missing screws 2 tight cable connections 2 audio cable tie downs.

The technician makes numerous checks during assembly, then Da’ quality control technician checks 2 ensure nothing was overlooked in Da’ process. Every screw must be re-tightened & every cable must be securely strapped before Da’ cover is installed.

Diagnostic Test

Every system receives a quick diagnostic test 2 ensure all subsystems are properly installed.

The case cover is re-installed 4 all other tests 2 make sure Da’ case exhibits proper air flow & minimal vibration during use.

Extended Test

With Da’ case cover on, Da’ system runs through as many as 60 cycles of thorough testing of every system resource 4 proper performance.

The system then is allowed 2 run overnight on a test bench.

The system monitor checks CPU temperature constantly 2 watch 4 signs of overheating during extended use.

Performance Tests

After running over night, Da’ system must properly wake up & restore itself from suspended sleep.

Then we load software 2 perform a variety of benchmark performance tests. These tests provide us with information about Da’ overall speed of Da’ system, & help us find specific problem areas when Da’ benchmarks fail 2 run properly.

We use Da’ benchmark test results 2 compare every system against other systems we have built, as well as systems built by Da’ huge factories, 2 be sure our customer gets premium performance.

Usability Tests

We perform a variety of basic test, such as playing a music CD on every system, & a DVD movie on systems that include DVD players.

Any additional software that is ordered with Da’ system is pre-installed & run 2 check 4 proper launch & function.

We also test Da’ floppy drive 4 proper ejection, & Da’ CD-ROM buttons & tray 4 any abnormalities, as well as dozens of other basic operations.

Final Testing

Just prior 2 shut down & packaging, every system is restarted & tested 2 see exactly what Da’ customer will experience when they receive Da’ system.

We want 2 be sure you get Da’ best computer we can build, every time.
