Card sorting by function

_NOTOC_

Step One -- The Basic Sort
Pick up each card and using the following chart, put each card in one of five piles (video, sound, modem, network, and miscellaneous.)

digraph D {

start        [label="START HERE", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"] connectors         [label="Familiarize yourself with the\nCARD CONNECTOR TYPES\n(then come back here)", shape="box", fontsize="11", URL="/index.php?title=System_Evaluation_1_Triage"] video        [label="VIDEO", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"] sound        [label="SOUND", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"] modem        [label="MODEM", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"] nic          [label="NETWORK", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"] else         [label="MISC", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"]

hd15           [label="Does it have an\nHD15\nconnector?", fontsize="11"] rj11s          [label="Does it have\nTWO RJ11 connectors?", fontsize="11"] bnc_rj45       [label="Does it have a\nBNC or RJ45 connector?", fontsize="11"] soundports     [label="Does it have little round\nSOUND PORTS?", fontsize="11"] singlerj11     [label="Does it have an\na SINGLE RJ11 connector?", fontsize="11"] singlejackmodem [label="Does it have an\na SINGLE RJ11 connector?", fontsize="11"]

start -> connectors connectors -> hd15 hd15 -> video [label="YES"] hd15 -> rj11s [label="NO"] rj11s -> modem [label="YES"] rj11s -> bnc_rj45 [label="NO"] bnc_rj45 -> nic [label="YES"] bnc_rj45 -> soundports [label="NO"] soundports -> singlerj11 [label="YES"] soundports -> singlejackmodem [label="NO"] singlejackmodem -> else [label="NO"] singlejackmodem -> modem [label="YES"] singlerj11 -> else [label="YES"] singlerj11 -> sound [label="NO"] }

Step Two -- Subsort according to slot type
Get someone to check your work so far, and they will show you how to tell PCI, ISA, and AGP slots from all the other types of card slots. Then you can use the below charts to subsort each of the five piles into a grand total of twelve piles. (See the bold ovals below each of the five main types to do your sub-sort.)

Step Three -- Sub-sub-sort the PCI Network Cards
Take the PCI network card pile and sort it into two piles, those marked 100 somewhere on the faceplate and those that are not. (Note some network cards are marked both 10 and 100. These should be put in the "MARKED 100" pile.)

digraph D {

nicpci       [label="NETWORK\nPCI", fontsize="11", shape="box"] nicpci100    [label="NETWORK\nPCI MARKED 100", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"] nicpci10     [label="NETWORK\nPCI NOT MARKED 100", fontsize="11", shape="box", style="bold"]

nicpci -> nicpci100 nicpci -> nicpci10

}

Step Four -- Finish Up
See if it's correct. You should now have up to 13 piles:


 * 1) Video Cards, PCI
 * 2) Video Cards, AGP
 * 3) Video Cards, OTHER
 * 4) Modems, PCI
 * 5) Modems, ISA
 * 6) Modems, OTHER
 * 7) Sound, PCI
 * 8) Sound, NON-PCI
 * 9) Network, PCI, 100
 * 10) Network, PCI, NOT 100
 * 11) Network, NON-PCI
 * 12) Miscellaneous, PCI or AGP
 * 13) Miscellaneous, Other

Have someone check your work and then put the cards in their boxes. (Check the box contents as you go, since someone before you might have made a mistake!)
