INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Name: _________________________________________ Section: ____________________
I. Learning Objective:
Plan unit assembly to ensure OHS policies and procedures are followed in
accordance with systems requirements.
(TLE_IACSS9-12ICCS-Ia-e-28)
Time Allotment: 6 hours
II. Key Concepts:
System Unit is one of the four main hardware components of a computer. It

is usually a rectangular container within which other important internal hardware
components can be found. Some of the components in the system unit
are; Random Access Memory (RAM), Compact Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM),
Hard disk, Motherboard, Fan, Processor or Central Processing Unit (CPU), Power
Supply and Floppy Disk Drive.
Components of the system unit and their functions

Motherboard - is the main internal hardware component of the system unit. The
board is called ‘mother’ because it has all the
connectors to the other hardware components of the
computer system. This means that all input and
output (I/O) devices have their connectors on the
motherboard. It has a socket for holding the Central
Processing Unit (CPU) or processor with heat sinks and
fan mounting location(s) very close to the socket due to the huge amount of heat
produced by the CPU (especially high speed CPU) during its operations. It also
holds a slot for the main memory, a slot for video or graphics card and a backup
battery.

CPU or Processor - is a hardware component responsible for all operations that is
carried out in the computer’s system which is why most
computer users refer to it as the brain of the computer
and it is held on the motherboard by a slot. The CPU or
processor has two main components: the control unit
(CU) and the arithmetic logic unit (ALU).
Random Access Memory (RAM) - is the main memory of the computer system
whose main function is to store data temporary. It
allows data to be accessed easily by the CPU based
on the fact that data is accessed randomly (in no
specific order). It also speeds up the computer’s operations because of its ability to
allow random access to data.
Hard disk or Hard drive - The major storage device of the computer system is the
hard disk or Hard drive. Unlike the RAM that stores data
temporary, the hard drive stores information, files and other
documents permanently as its main function and also allows the
retrieval of data; but, it is non-volatile (data is not loss when the
computer goes off).
Computer fan - Basically, computers come with two fans in the system unit or
chassis, sometimes three. One CPU fan, one case fan and
sometimes, one hard drive fan. A manufacturer can also decide
to put in more than one CPU fan or case fan. During operations
by the computer the CPU produces a lot of heat and heat could
always cause damage to your computer that is why the CPU fan
is put in place to keep the CPU under the required temperature. The case fan is to
keep the system unit cooled.
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives - Compact disc (CD) and digital versatile disc (DVD) are
storage devices onto which certain amount of audio files, data
and other computer files can be stored. Videos can also be
stored on them as well. CD-ROM can hold about 700MB of
data while DVD-ROM can hold about 4.7GB of data.

Power supply unit (PSU) - Just as any electronic device needs electrical power to
function, so as the system unit’s components. But the components do
not work with the power from your wall socket so the computer
power supply unit receives the alternating current (AC) and
converts it to a controlled direct current (DC) for the components to
function. (Somewhat good life scenario; a newly born baby cannot eat
any heavy food so the mother has to eat all the heavy foods for the nutrients to be
changed to breast milk for her baby.)
Floppy disk drive - This is an internal hardware component in the system unit
positioned closer to the CD-ROM drive and its main function is to
read and write from or on a floppy disk or diskette. Though a lot of
the modern computers are manufactured without a floppy disk drive
but the old computers still have one and can be used.
Video Card - (also called a graphics card, display card, graphics adapter,
or display adapter) is an expansion card which
generates a feed of output images to a display
device (such as a computer monitor). Frequently, these
are advertised as discrete or dedicated graphics cards,
emphasizing the distinction between these and integrated graphics. At
the core of both is the graphics processing unit (GPU), which is the main part that
does the actual computations, but should not be confused with the video card as a
whole, although "GPU" is often used as a metonymic shorthand to refer to video
cards.
Network Interface Controller (NIC) - also known as a network interface card,

network adapter, LAN adapter or physical network interface,
and by similar terms is a computer hardware component that
connects a computer to a computer network.
Early network interface controllers were commonly
implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus. The low cost
and ubiquity of the Ethernet standard means that most newer computers have a
network interface built into the motherboard, or is contained into a USB-connected
dongle.

Processing Order Computer System
Computer System is a set of integrated devices that input, output, process, and
store data and information. Computer systems are currently built around at least
one digital processing device. There are five main hardware components in a
computer system: Input, Processing, Storage, Output and Communication devices.
Examples of Computer Systems
The following are examples of Computer Systems:
1. Mainframe Computer
A mainframe computer is a computer system with:

• very powerful processors
• lots of backing storage
• large internal memory
Mainframes are designed to process large volumes of data at high
speed. They are used by large businesses such as banks and mail-
order companies as well as by large organizations such as
universities.
Mainframe computers can also multi-task by running more than
one program at the same time. This is known as multi-programming
and with more memory has become possible on desktop and laptop computers.
2. Desktop Computer
A desktop computer is the most common kind of PC. It is a

collection of a number of different hardware devices. This type of
computer is sited permanently on a desk because its design
means it cannot be easily moved.
3. Laptop or Notebook Computer
A laptop computer is a small, light computer that you can easily

carry about with you. It can be powered by battery or mains
power. A laptop computer has a keyboard, and comes with
specialized input devices, for example trackballs, touch pads or
track points. They are needed because laptop computers are often operated in
places where it is impracticable to use a mouse.
6

4. Palmtop Computer or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
This type of computer is increasing in popularity, and is often

called a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). A palmtop computer is
small enough to fit in your pocket. It combines a lot of capabilities,
including organizer features (such as storing contact numbers,
names and addresses, etc.), e-mail and wireless internet access.
Palmtop's have small keyboards and most let you open menus and select icons by
using a special pen or stylus. Mostly, it lets you enter data by writing with the
stylus. They are powered by batteries and store their data on removable memory
units called flash cards.
