LO 1. Plan and prepare for installation
• Observe Occupational Health and Safety policies and
procedures in planning for installation activity in
accordance with requirements
• Familiarize with computer hardware, software component
and other peripherals in accordance with established
procedures on correct operation and safety policies
• Consult appropriate/ technical personnel to ensure that
work is coordinated with others who are involved in the
activity
• Obtain materials necessary to complete the work in
accordance with established procedures
• Check the materials received against job requirements

 Let’s
review!
 Different
types of
computers
and its
classification
What are the
different
types of
computers?
What are the
different
classification
of computers?
HEART
The heart is responsible for
pumping blood, supplying
oxygen and nutrients, and
removing metabolic waste
such as carbon dioxide from
all the tissues in the body. The
heart and a network of
arteries and veins comprise
the cardiovascular system.
LUNGS
The lungs and respiratory
system allow us to breathe.
They bring oxygen into our
bodies (called inspiration,
or inhalation) and send
carbon dioxide out (called
expiration, or exhalation).
BRAIN
The brain is a complex
organ that controls
thought, memory, emotion,
touch, motor skills, vision,
breathing, temperature,
hunger and every process
that regulates our body.
OPERATING
SYSTEM
What is an Operating
System?
The operating system (OS) manages all of the
software and hardware on the computer. It
performs basic tasks such as file, memory
and process management, handling input
and output, and controlling peripheral
devices such as disk drives and printers.
What is an Operating
System?
For large systems, the operating system
has even greater responsibilities and
powers. It is like a traffic cop -- it makes
sure that different program and
users running at the same time do not
interfere with each other.
What is an Operating
System?
The operating system is also
responsible for security, ensuring that
unauthorized users do not access the
system.
Operating systems use two components to
manage computer programs and
applications:
The kernel is the core inner component that processes
data at the hardware level. It handles input-output
management, memory and process management.

The shell is the outer layer that manages the interaction

between the user and the OS. The shell communicates
with the operating system by either taking the input from
the user or a shell script. A shell script is a sequence of
system commands that are stored in a file.
Basic functions of an operating system
include:
1. Booting: An operating system manages the
startup of a device.
2. Memory management: An operating system
coordinates computer applications and
allocates space to different programs installed in
the computer.
3. Data security: An operating system protects your
data from cyberattacks.
4. Loading and execution: An operating system
starts and executes a program.
Basic functions of an operating system
include:
5. Drive/disk management: An operating system
manages computer drives and divides disks.
6. Device control: An operating system enables you to
allow or block access to devices.
7. User interface: This part of an operating system, also
known as UI, allows users to enter and receive
information.
8. Process management: The operating system allocates
space to enable computer processes, such as storing
and sharing information.
Classification
of an
Operating
System
Five Classification of an OS
1. Multi-user
2. Multiprocessing
3. Multitasking
4. Multithreading
5. Real time
1. Multi-user
•Allows two or more users to run
programs at the same time. Some
operating systems permit hundreds
or even thousands of concurrent
users.
•Example: Linux, Unix, Windows 200
1. Multi-user
2. Multiprocessing
•Supports running a program
on more than one CPU.
•Example: Linux, Unix,
Windows 2000
2. Multiprocessing
3. Multitasking
•Allows more than one program
to run concurrently.
•Example: Unix, Windows 2000
and Windows multi point
3. Multitasking
4. Multithreading
• Allows different parts of a
single program to run
concurrently.
•Example: Linux, Unix, Windows
2000 and Windows 7
4. Multithreading
5. Real time
•Supports running a
program on more than
one CPU.
•Example: DOS and Unix
5. Real time
• Examples of the real-time operating
systems: Airline traffic control
systems, Command Control Systems,
Airlines reservation system, Heart
Pacemaker, Network Multimedia
Systems, Robot
LINUX
• Lovable Intellect Not Using XP
• Built by and named after Linus
Torvalds.
• Open-source operating system for
servers, computers, mainframes,
mobile systems, and embedded
systems.
UNIX
• Also referred to as UNICS) is UNiplexed
Information Computing System
• A modular OS made up of a number of
essential components, including the kernel,
shell, file system and a core set of utilities or
programs.
• commonly used on web servers, mainframes, and
supercomputers.0
WINDOWS
• Microsoft Windows, also called Windows
and Windows OS, computer operating
system (OS) developed by Microsoft
Corporation to run personal computers
(PCs)
• Featuring the first graphical user interface
(GUI) for IBM-compatible PCs, the Windows
OS soon dominated the PC market.
What are the
devices of a
computer?
The physical,
touchable,
electronic and
mechanical parts of
a computer are
called the hardware
1. System Unit
The main part of a microcomputer,
sometimes called the chassis. It
includes the following parts:
Motherboard, Microprocessor,
Memory Chips, Buses, Ports,
Expansion Slots and Cards.
1. System Unit
2. Motherboard /
Mainboard / System Board
The main circuit board of a
computer. It contains all the
circuits and components that
run the computer.
2. Motherboard / Mainboard /
System Board
3. CPU (Central Processing
Unit)
The processor is the main “brain” or
“heart” of a computer system. It
performs all of the instructions and
calculations that are needed and
manages the flow of information
through a computer.
3. CPU (Central Processing
Unit)
4. Primary storage
The computer's working storage
space that holds data, instructions
for processing and processed data
(information) waiting to be sent to
secondary storage. (RAM)
4. Primary storage
Two (2) Types of Memory
ROM – (Read Only Memory) ROM is non-volatile,
meaning it holds data even when the power is
ON or OFF.
RAM – (Random Access Memory) RAM is
volatile, meaning it holds data only when the
power is on. When the power is off, RAM's
contents are lost.
4. Primary storage
5. Expansion Bus
A bus is a data pathway between
several hardware components inside or
outside a computer. It does not only
connect the parts of the CPU to each
other, but also links the CPU with other
important hardware.
5. Expansion Bus
6. Adapters
Printed-circuit boards (also called
interface cards) that enable the
computer to use a peripheral device for
which it does not have the necessary
connections or circuit boards. They are
often used to permit upgrading to a new
different hardware.
6. Adapters
7. Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Installed in the back corner of the
PC case, next to the motherboard.
It converts 120vac (standard house
power) into DC voltages that are
used by other components in the
PC.
7. Power Supply Unit (PSU)
8. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Also known as hard drive, is a magnetic
storage device that is installed inside the
computer. The hard drive is used as
permanent storage for data. In a Windows
computer, the hard drive is usually
configured as the C: drive and contains the
operating system and applications.
8. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
9. Optical Drive
An optical drive is a storage device that
uses lasers to read data on the optical
media. There are three types of optical
drives: Compact Disc (CD), Digital
Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc
(BD).
