2.2 Core Competences

2.2.1 Engineering

TAG’s engineering methodology is built upon Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) and
rigorous design reviews. Although PMs drive the schedule at TAG, Engineering
leverages Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
modeling, rapid prototyping processes, and diverse test equipment and facilities to
ensure requirements are being met at every step of the design. TAG Engineering
follows a proven design-review process, ensuring all entrance and exit criteria are met
at each stage. Rigorous documentation is compiled to demonstrate requirement
compliance, risks are mitigated, and decisions are prudent – throughout the design
process.

TAG prides itself on its engineering
laboratories and facilities. Over the past
three years, TAG has invested in several
pieces of equipment that allow TAG to test
and certify products directly onsite to the
harshest environmental requirements of
military standards – including the MIL-STD­810F and DO 160D.

TAG’s onsite test equipment currently

includes a Highly Accelerated Lifecycle
Testing (HALT) Chamber, an
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) test chamber, and a high-/low-temperature thermal
test chamber. TAG’s facility also provides:

 A floor plan designed to support a cellular manufacturing model with modular

assembly lines

 A dedicated 24-hour system burn-in room
 A modern production status tracking and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

system with external web collaboration capabilities

 Dedicated Quality Assurance workstations for system compliance and validation

inspection

2.2.2 Manufacturing and Integration

TAG implements Cellular Manufacturing processes through our compartmentalized,
state-of-the-art production facility to minimize waste byproducts and maximize
production efficiency. TAG’s manufacturing facility is physically partitioned to model the
major philosophies of Lean Manufacturing. Consistent with the model, each of TAG’s
production cells are capable of operating in isolation; however personnel and tools are

SV-4002-X2

Version 1.0. 09/09/2010

Operations Manual

shared across all cells to streamline manufacturing operations, costs, and the
production/integration scheduling. TAG’s floor technicians are cross-trained in multiple
disciplines so they can be redistributed to any cell that encounters production
bottlenecks, which ensures optimal efficiency.

2.2.3 Lifecycle Management

TAG’s world-class Program Management discipline models the renowned
methodologies of the Project Management Institute (PMI) to ensure successful
completion of the task at hand. Our Program Managers (PMs) serve as the voice of the
customer – driving requirements to which the rest of TAG’s organization answers. As

an explicit tenet of TAG’s corporate mission statement, the PMs not only track cost,
schedule, and technical compliance throughout a project’s period of performance, but

also ensure the customer is supported well beyond it.

your system. The Device Manager display is
recreated each time the computer is started, or
whenever a dynamic change to the computer
configuration occurs, such as addition of a new
device while the system is running.

NOTE: To include hidden devices, on the
View menu, click Show hidden devices. A
check mark next to Show hidden devices
indicates hidden devices are showing.
Click it again to clear the check mark.
Hidden devices include non-PnP devices
and devices that have been physically
removed from the computer but have not
had their drivers uninstalled.

The devices shown represent the computer's
current hardware configuration information.
Any non-functioning devices are displayed with
an exclamation point, indicating that a problem
exists with the device; disabled devices are
displayed with a small red "x" over the icon.

You can use Device Manager to enable or
disable devices, troubleshoot devices, update
drivers, use driver rollback, and change
resources such as interrupt requests (IRQs)
assigned to devices.

In the device's Properties dialog box, there
might be several tabs. You can view the status
and configuration information, as well as the
device manufacturer, device type, and location
in the upper portion of the General tab.

The Device status box in the middle of the
General tab displays the status of the device,
including any errors. If the device has any
problems, the Device Status box briefly
describes the problem, and usually describes
the appropriate course of action to correct the
problem.

Other tabs include the Driver tab, which
displays the details of the driver being used.
This tab also lets you update or uninstall the
driver. The Resources tab displays the
hardware resources being used. This tab
allows you to see and resolve any conflicts
caused by non-PnP devices. Along with these
tabs, some devices have additional advanced
settings or tabs for device-specific settings.

7.2 Installing and Removing Hardware in Windows

Plug and Play (PnP) is a standard that makes
installing new hardware devices easier. Prior to
PnP, installing new hardware meant finding
and installing peripheral drivers and making
sure the new device didn't conflict with another
device. Theoretically, if you have a computer
designed for PnP and are using a PnP
operating system (like Windows), installing a
printer, sound card, modem, or other peripheral
is a simple matter of plugging in the device.

It's not always quite this simple. Assuming you
are using a PnP computer, when you attach a
PnP device, you may see a message indicating
that Windows has recognized the new device­either immediately or the next time you start up
your system. If Windows needs a driver that is
not currently installed, you may at that point be
asked to insert a disk or the Windows CD­ROM. If you don't see a message but the
device appears to be working, you can assume
that everything is fine.

7.3 Installing Legacy Peripherals

When you install what Microsoft calls a legacy
peripheral, you will need to use the Add
Hardware Wizard, as described to let Windows
know about the new device.

NOTE: The term legacy refers to anything
that's no longer on the cutting edge.

7.3.1 Removing Legacy Peripherals

When removing a legacy peripheral from your
system, you need to let Windows know that the
device is gone. This enables Windows to reuse
the resources (places in memory and internal
communications channels) that it previously
allocated to that device.

To tell Windows that you have removed a
legacy device, perform the following steps:

7.4 TAG Approved BIOS

The BIOS (basic input/output system) is the
program stored on the CMOS that the server's
microprocessor uses to get the system started
after you turn it on. The BIOS also manages
data flow between the computer's operating
system and attached devices such as the hard
disk, video adapter, keyboard, and mouse.

CAUTION: The server's hardware and

software was loaded and tested with a
specific "BIOS" version. If you desire to
have the BIOS updated, consult TAG
technical support in advance as updates to
your approved BIOS may cause your
system to become unstable or inoperable.
