Install Operating System and Drivers
for Peripheral / Devices
I. INTRODUCTION
This unit covers the outcomes required in installing and configuring desktop and
workstation computers systems. It consists competencies to assemble computer hardware,
install operating system and drivers for peripherals / devices, and install application software
as well as to conduct testing and documentation.
Normally, bootable USBFDs are used for operating system installers, so your system
will know to boot into the installer, and the installer will essentially unpack a large compressed
file containing the actual operating system's resources. If you install any operating system
onto another USB drive, then it will also be considered a bootable USBFD (Universal Serial
Bus Flash Drive), but for an entire operating system this time.
To make a bootable USBFD which contains the installer for an operating system
(Ubuntu, for example) you need to download the appropriate .iso, .dmg, or .img (they're all the
same thing) based on whether your system is 32 bit (two or less GB(Gigabyte) of ram) or 64
bit (more than two GB of ram). Then use whatever method you like to unpack the disk image
you downloaded, and place all the contents onto an empty USBFD drive formatted as ExFAT
or MS-DOS (FAT(File Allocation Table)). You can use your BIOS(Basic Input Output System)
to select which bootable drive to boot from, and the USBFD drive will now show up as well as
a result of its containing media that can be used as an operating system.
II. MODULE CONTENT
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Bootable - A bootable USBFD is one that contains instructions for your computer's
bootloader to load up various assets to run an operating system.
Computer System - The complete computer comprises the central processing unit (CPU),
memory and related electronics (main cabinet), all the peripheral devices connected to it,
and its operating system. Computer systems fall into two broad divisions: clients and
servers. Client machines fall into three categories from low to high end: laptop, desktop, and
workstation. Servers range from small to large: low-end, midrange, and mainframes.
Device Driver - a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular
type of device that is attached to a computer system.
Operating System (OS) - The master control program that runs the computer; the first
program loaded when the computer is turned on, its main part, the “kernel,” resides in
memory at all times. The operating system sets the standards for all application programs
that run in the computer. The applications “talk to” the operating system for all user
interfaces and file management operations.
Peripheral – Any hardware device connected to a computer, such as a monitor, keyboard,
printer, disk, tape, graphics tablet, scanner, joy stick, paddle, or mouse.

INSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM

Common Operating System used by school in the Philippines
1. Microsoft Windows Operating System
2. Macintosh Operating System

 Each Operating System has its own features that satisfy the end-user although it is
noticeably that isn’t always suit to others because of the word profitable business.
Features of Operating System
Here is a list commonly found important features of an Operating System:

• Protected and supervisor mode

• Allows disk access and file systems device driver networking security
• Program Execution
• Memory management Virtual Memory Multitasking
• Handling I/O operations
• Manipulation of the file system
• Error Detection and handling
• Resource allocation
• Information and Resource Protection

WHAT IS A KERNEL?
The kernel is the central component of a computer operating systems. The only job
performed by the kernel is to the manage the communication between the software and the
hardware. A Kernel is at the nucleus of a computer. It makes the communication between the
hardware and software possible. While the Kernel is the innermost part of an operating
system, a shell is the outermost one.
Features of Kennel

• Low-level scheduling of processes

• Inter-process communication
• Process synchronization
• Context switching
TWO MOST POPULAR TYPES OF KERNELS
1.Monolithic. Is a single code or block of the program. It provides all the required services
offered by the operating system. It is a simplistic design which creates a distinct
communication layer between the hardware and software.
2. Microkernels. Manages all system resources. In this type of kernel, services are
implemented in different address space. The user services are stored in user address space,
and kernel services are stored under kernel address space. So, it helps to reduce the size of
both the kernel and operating system.

FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM

2
 FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM
In an operating system software performs each of the function:
1. Process management:- Process management helps OS to create and delete
processes. It also provides mechanisms for synchronization and communication among
processes.
2. Memory management - Memory management module performs the task of allocation
and de-allocation of memory space to programs in need of this resources.
3. File management - It manages all the file-related activities such as organization storage,
retrieval, naming, sharing, and protection of files.
4. Device Management: Device management keeps tracks of all devices. This module
also responsible for this task is known as the I/O controller. It also performs the task of
allocation and de-allocation of the devices.
5. I/O System Management: One of the main objects of any OS is to hide the peculiarities
of that hardware devices from the user.
6. Secondary-Storage Management: Systems have several levels of storage which
includes primary storage, secondary storage, and cache storage. Instructions and data
must be stored in primary storage or cache so that a running program can reference it.
7. Security - Security module protects the data and information of a computer system
against malware threat and authorized access.
8. Command interpretation: This module is interpreting commands given by the and
acting system resources to process that commands.
9. Networking: A distributed system is a group of processors which do not share memory,
hardware devices, or a clock. The processors communicate with one another through the
network.
10. Job accounting: Keeping track of time & resource used by various job and users.
11. Communication management: Coordination and assignment of compilers, interpreters,
and another software resource of the various users of the computer systems.

TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM

1. Multi-Tasking/Time-sharing Operating systems - Time-sharing operating system
enables people located at a different terminal(shell) to use a single computer system at
the same time. The processor time (CPU) which is shared among multiple users is termed
as time sharing.
2. Real time OS- real time operating system time interval to process and respond to inputs
is very small. Examples: Military Software Systems, Space Software Systems.
3. Distributed Operating System - Distributed systems use many processors located in
different machines to provide very fast computation to its users.
4. Network Operating System - Network Operating System runs on a server. It provides the
capability to serve to manage data, user, groups, security, application, and other
networking functions.
5. Mobile OS - Mobile operating systems are those OS which is especially that are designed
to power smartphones, tablets, and wearables devices. Some most famous mobile
operating systems are Android and iOS, but others include BlackBerry, Web, and
watchOS.
