✓ Install peripherals/devices in accordance with manufacturer’s
Instructions and/or OS installation procedures
✓ Configure peripherals/devices in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions and/or OS installation procedures.

II. Background Information for Learners

Peripheral devices are devices that are not essential to a computer's

operation, meaning that the computer can compute without them. However, some
peripheral devices are essential if you are going to do meaningful work with your
computer. There are two types of peripheral devices:

• Internal You install these inside your computer's case and are likely to consider
them part of the computer. Internal devices can come in the form of an expansion
card, or a new hard disk drive or DVD drive. For example, you might install an
additional video card to improve your computer's graphics capabilities or support
multiple monitors, or you might install a TV tuner card so that you can watch
network television on your computer.

• External You attach these to your computer by connecting them to ports on the
outside of your computer's case. Some external devices are essential to our
computing experiences, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse; others are
considered essential by some users but optional by others, such as speakers and
a printer; and still others are more specialty items, such as a scanner or external
hard drive .

 IV. Activity Proper

1. Directions / Instructions

A. Installing the Keyboard

a. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions

b. Determine if the keyboard uses a PS/2 or USB connector. The PS/2
connector for keyboards is round and typically colored purple, while the USB
is flat and rectangular in
shape.

PS/S CONNECTOR USB CONNECTOR

i. Install the keyboard by plugging it into the chosen port.

Installing a (non-wireless) keyboard is very straight forward and easy to do, but
first you need to determine if the keyboard uses a PS/2 or USB connector. The
PS/2 connector for keyboards is round and typically colored purple to match the
connection on your computer although not all connectors are color coordinated. If
your keyboard has a USB connector, the connector will be flat and rectangular in
shape. Every motherboard on the market that I have seen or heard of still has PS/2
ports; however the vast majority of newer keyboards you find these days will have
USB connections. Either style will work, but if you don’t want to use up a USB port
for the keyboard, adapters are available that will convert USB keyboard
connections to PS/2.

Once you match your connection type to the port on your computer, you are ready
to go and installing the keyboard is as easy as plugging it into the chosen port. A
word of caution however, do not install your keyboard while your computer is
powered on and do not unplug your keyboard while your computer is running. If
you do either of these things, you run the risk of locking up your computer with

5
 possible data loss. Always be sure to read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions before installing the keyboard on your system.

B. Installing the mouse

Installing a mouse is very similar to installing a keyboard.
You will still find mice with either USB or PS/2 connectivity,
although most of the newer mice will use a USB connection,
especially if you are using a mouse for gaming. Just like the
keyboard, you can also use an adapter to change a USB
connection to PS/2. If you are going to have a lot of USB peripherals, you may
want to consider using adapters for your mouse and keyboard or perhaps using a
USB hub for some of your peripherals. To complete the installation, simply plug
the mouse into the proper port.

It is important to mention the need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Some

computer mice require that you install the software before you plug the mouse in.
The instructions or owner’s manual included with the mouse will tell you how to
install it.

C. Installing the monitor

Installing a monitor (also known as a

“display”) requires a free power
outlet for A/C power and identifying
the connection type you will use to
connect the monitor to your graphics
card. Both DVI and VGA connections
are still very common in today’s
market and many monitors and
graphics cards include both types of
connections.

VGA Cable Connection For the best picture quality possible,

use the digital DVI port on your
graphics card and display if they are
available. Most of the graphics cards now support multiple monitors and they
typically include the adapters required to change a DVI connection to VGA for older
displays. Once you have the display plugged in, simply connect it to the appropriate
connector on your video card and you are ready to go. Drivers are not typically
required for displays, but once again consult the manufacturer’s instructions for
details.

6
D. Installing the speakers

Installing the speakers can vary greatly depending on

what type of speakers you are using. If you have a
simple set of 2.0 or 2.1 speakers all you need do is
connect the audio cable to the “line-out” jack of your
computer’s sound card, and connect the other end(s)
to the speaker unless they are already “hard-wired”
and plug in the power cord. If you are using a full 5.1
or 7.1 surround sound system, the connections get a
bit more complicated. Read the instructions that came
with the speakers and sound card for full details on
this step. You can also find USB-powered speakers
that have their own sound card built in and need only
be connected to power.
Audio Connection / Ports
E. Installing a webcam

Most webcams are USB-powered and simply require that

you plug them in and install their drivers. However, some
cams require that the drivers be installed first, so be sure to
read the instructions that came with your webcam to avoid
any problems. If you bought a FireWire (a form of
connection that is often faster than USB connections)
webcam, ensure that your computer has a FireWire port because they are not yet
all that common.

F. Installing the printer

a. Make sure that you have an appropriate printer

cable and, if necessary, a separate power cable.
b. Turn off your PC and install the USB or parallel
cable between the printer and the PC.
c. Insert the ink cartridge or toner cartridge.
d. Plug in the printer and turn it on.
e. Reboot you PC.
f. Wait for Windows to see the new printer hardware and start the Printer Install
Wizard.
g. If you have an Installation CD, cancel the Printer Install Wizard and allow it to
auto play. Follow the instructions to install the printer driver.
h. After the printer has been installed, run a test print to verify that the printer is
working properly.
.
G. Installing a scanner

Installing a scanner is almost identical to installing

your printer. Again, you will simply need to install the
drivers and then plug the USB cable in. Read the
manufacturer’s instructions for more details on this
installation process.

H. Installing the Video Card

1. Turn off your PC, unplug it, and remove your computer’s case.

Your computer should have

either a PCI-Express 16x or
AGP slot for your card. The
card won’t fit into the wrong
slot, so you can’t go wrong.
But don’t confuse your
computer’s thin memory slots
for its video card slot.

2. With a small screwdriver, remove the screw holding in the old card or the
metal cover.

Don’t lose that screw! You need it to secure the new card in place.

3. If you are replacing an old card, pull it up and out of the

slot.

If you’re not replacing an old card, remove the metal cover

from the back of your computer.

4. Hold the card by its edges and position it over the

correct slot

The edge with the shiny metal bracket should face

toward the back of your computer. (That shiny bracket
replaces the cover, if you removed one.)

5. Line up the tabs and notches on the card’s bottom with the notches in
the slot. Push the card slowly into the slot.

You may need to rock the card back and forth gently. When the card
pops in, you can feel it come to rest. Don’t force it!

6. If the video slot has it, bend out the flexible plastic retaining clip that fits
over a tab on the end of the video card.

When the card fits into the slot, release the clip, letting it hold the card in
place.

7. Secure the card in the slot with the screw you removed in Step 3, then plug
the computer back in, turn it on, and see whether Windows recognizes and
installs the card.

8
 Windows usually recognizes newly installed cards and sets them up to work
correctly.
8. If everything’s working, put your PC’s cover back on.

If something goes wrong, turn off your computer, unplug it, and make sure
you’ve seated the card correctly.

9. If you have internet connection at home you may visit the manufacturer’s
website to download and install the latest drivers.

Card manufacturers, especially video card manufacturers, constantly

update their drivers to fix bugs. You may try the site below.

I. Installing a sound card

a. Turn off your PC, unplug it, and remove your computer’s case

The tiniest sound card slots in your computer, about an inch long, are PCI-
Express 1x slots. The adjacent slots, about three times as long, are usually
PCI slots. The longest slot is probably a PCI-Express 16x slot, almost
always reserved for video cards.

b. If you’re replacing your old sound card, remove the single screw
holding that card in place, and then lift the card up and out of its
slot.

If you’re placing a new card in an empty slot, remove the empty slot’s
metal backplate by removing the single screw that holds the backplate in
place. Then lift out the little plate. (Save the screw, as you need it to
secure the new sound card in place.)

c. Hold the new card by its edges and position it over the
appropriate empty slot, either PCI or PCI-Express 1x, then push
the card slowly into the slot.

The edge with the shiny metal bracket faces toward the back of your
computer. Line up the tabs and notches on the card’s bottom edge with
the notches in the slot. You may need to rock the card back and forth
gently. When the card pops in, you can feel it come to rest. Don’t force it!

d. Secure the card in the slot with a screw.

Use the screw you removed in step 4.

e. Plug the computer’s power cord back into the wall and PC, and
then turn on your PC.

Windows usually recognizes a newly installed card, displays a message

saying it recognizes the new device, and automatically sets the card up to
work correctly.
9
 f. If Windows doesn’t correctly identify your card (or doesn’t
recognize it at all), install the software that came with your card.

Whenever you install a new sound card or any other card, visit the
manufacturer’s Web site. Find the site’s Support or Customer Service
section, and then download and install the latest drivers for that particular
model and your version of Windows. Card manufacturers constantly
update their drivers and software to fix bugs.

g. After everything’s working, put your PC’s cover back on.

Your new sound card should be ready to wow you!
