What is computer? Computers Network?
• Computer: Electronic device used for
computing

3
What is computer? Computers Network?

A set of computers that are

connected with each other in
purpose of sharing and
communicating

4
Hardware and Software
• Motherboard: main board connected
to other computer component to
operation.
• CPU, RAM, Hard Drive…
• Operating System (OS) Main
application (Main frame) to let other
application to run
5
Hardware and Software
• CMOS: Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor
• CMOS memory in a computer is a type of
non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) that
stores BIOS settings and date/time
information.
• BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System)
6
Hardware and Software
• BIOS: is the program a personal
computer's microprocessor uses to get the
computer system started after you turn it
on.
• Kernel: middleware of computer system
and hardware

7
Hardware and Software
• Operating System: Server-OS and Non-server-
OS.
• It is used to:
– Memory Management
– Device Management
– Process Management
– File Management
– Network Management
8
Hardware and Software
• General Application lays on OS to
operation
• Peripheral device: Input and output device
• Firmware: software which is built then
embedded with hardware

9
Computer Network
There is two main types of computer network :
- Local Area Network (LAN): limited geographic
scale
- Wide Area Network (WAN) : Large geographic
scale
• How about MAN(Area Network), CAN(Campus Area Network),
SAN(Storage Area Network)…? 10
Computer Network
Network Topology:
• Ring Topology
• Star Topology
• Bus Topology
• Hybrid Topology
• Tree Topology
• Mesh Topology
