Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. Name the components of a computer hardware
2. Identify the functions and characteristics of a computer hardware
components
If you use a desktop computer, you might already know that there
isn't any single part called the "computer." A computer is really a system
of many parts working together. The physical parts, which you can see
and touch, are collectively called hardware.
Storage
Your computer has one or more disk drives - devices that store
information on a metal or plastic disk. The disk preserves the information
even when your computer is turned off.
Flash Drive
The basic peripherals that you will need to start-up the computer
are:
Monitor
Mouse
Keyboard
It is used mainly for typing text into your computer. Like the
keyboard on a typewriter, it has keys for letters and numbers, but it also
has special keys:
The function keys, found on the top row, perform different functions
depending on where they are used.
The numeric keypad, located on the right side of most keyboards,
allows you to enter numbers quickly.
The navigation keys, such as the arrow keys, allow you to move your
position within a document or webpage.
You can also use your keyboard to perform many of the same tasks you
can perform with a mouse.
Other Peripherals:
Modem
To connect your computer to the Internet, you need a modem.
A modem is a device that sends and receives computer information
over a telephone line or high-speed cable. Modems are sometimes
built into the system unit, but higher-speed modems are usually
separate components.
Speakers are used to play sound. They may be built into the
system unit or connected with cables. Speakers allow you to listen
to music and hear sound effects from your computer.
Printer
Power Supply
Motherboard (MOBO)
PS/2 ports - These are used to connect the mouse (green color)
and the keyboard (purple color)
USB 2.0 × 2 ports - These are the ports of the USB devices of the
computer. Attached externally of the system unit, one of that are
the USB flash drives. As of now the versions or speed of the USB
are the 1.0 and 2.0 compatible.
10. USB Connector (header) - This is use to connect the USB port of
the front panel USB 2.0 x 2 port.
11. FDD connector - The connector of the FDD cable through the
system board. Normally there are 34 pins out of it to connect the
3.5” 1.44mb Floppy Disk Drive.
12. PCI slots - a part of the computer motherboard use to connect the
I/O cards of the computer. Such as LAN card, WIFI card, USB
expansion card, and sound card.
14. AMR slot - This is the AUDIO Modem Riser. Being use to
demodulate and modulate the analog audio of the computer.
15. PCI express slot - A part of the computer that hold the computer
video card (VGA), the PCIe card. The latest and the fastest card
being installed and most compatible with 3d and 4g gaming of the
computer. The old video card type is the AGP or Accelerated Graphic
Ports and the standard of the PCIe.

6. SATA Cables
7. Motherboard (SATA Capable)
8. Processor Fan
9. Case Fan
10. Hard Drive (SATA Capable)
11. Assortment of case and drive screws (Not Pictured)
You may not use every single one of these tools in every installation,
but it is best to have all of them on hand in case you have a use for them.
Warning: Using incorrect tools for a task (such as turning a screw with a
knife blade) can cause equipment damage and bodily injury.
Open the computer case by removing the side panels. Find the
screws that hold the side panels in place and remove them (shown in
figure 3 circled in red). The panel is removed by first sliding it back then
lifting it away from the case.
Put the grounding strap on your wrist (see image below) and
connect the other end to the computer case. If your strap is not equipped
with a clip to hook to the case, find a place to wedge against the metal as
shown in figure 11. This will prevent any buildup of static electricity on
your body from damaging the computer components.
1. I/O Bezel is a trim panel installed in the back of the case that
surrounds the interface ports on the motherboard. It should be
included with the motherboard. The image below shows the
contents of the motherboard box.
2. Standoffs are installed in the case screw holes to create a riser that
separates the case and motherboard. The screws install into the
standoffs. Screws and standoffs should be included with the case,
but it is a good idea to order these items just in case they aren't
included.
1. Install the I/O bezel plate into the opening in the back of the
case. It pushes in from the inside.
2. Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw into the
motherboard mounting holes. Check the screw hole locations on
the motherboard for exact placement.
3. Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O bezel.
4. Install the screws.
The hard drive is the device that stores all of your data. It is 3.5"
wide and needs to be mounted so that you can gain access to the cable
connections on the back. If that is not possible you may need to connect
cables before you install the drive. To mount the drive:
1. Find a 3.5" drive bay to install the drive in. If you have trouble
finding a place to mount the drive consult your case documentation
for suggestions.
2. Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides are lined
up with the holes in the case.
3. Install the screws.
1. Find the corner marking that designates pin 1 of the CPU. On this
AMD brand processor, the corner is marked with an arrow. Consult
the manufacturer's documentation for specific information about
your processor.
2. Lift the small metal rod next to the socket as shown in the image
below.
3. Find the corresponding marking on the CPU socket and insert the
CPU so that the markings are lined up.
4. Push the rod down to lock the processor in place.
The RAM is the temporary memory location that the processor works
from. Permanently stored data is pulled from disks and stored in RAM
while the processor works with it. The memory is easy to install:
1. Set the RAM board in the socket as shown in the image below on
the left side. Check to see that the notch in the board is in the
correct location. If it is not, turn it around 180º.
2. Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into the socket.
Make sure the tabs lock into place as shown in the image below
on the right side.
Consult your case documentation for details and then follow these
directions to install the power supply:
1. Align the mounting holes in the case and power supply as shown in
the image below.
2. Insert screws and tighten.
With all of the components installed in the case, the jungle of wires
can be daunting. It is important to consult the motherboard manual in
order to make sure proper connections are made. There are two kinds of
connections, power and data.
Every device that has been installed needs power. In the image
below, the power supply connectors are shown. The motherboard
has two power connections, and there are two connectors
specifically for SATA devices (drives). The other connectors will run
fans and other non-SATA devices.
Data cables connect drives and front panel devices to the
motherboard. Please consult the motherboard documentation for
the exact placement of connectors.
Now that the components are completely installed, the last thing to
do is to reinstall the side panels on the case. The computer is now ready
to be turned on and to have software loaded on it. If the computer has
problems starting up, check all component connections and mounting to
make sure that you have hooked everything up correctly. Consult
individual component manuals for specific troubleshooting information if
problems persist.
Learning Objectives:

Learning Activities Special Instructions
Read Information Sheet No. 2.1-1
on Different Types of Bootable
Software
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, the trainee will be able to:
1. Identify the different bootable makers
Mainly this word “boot” comes from the word Bootstrapping and
this bootstrapping term originally appears in early 19th century in the
United States.
Once the bios initialize the operating system, it starts to copy its
files into the computer memory and after that; the Operating System
basically takes control over the whole booting process.
Installations from a USB flash drive have become one of the easiest
ways to update your computer with a new operating system. A USB
installation is quick, extremely portable, and has the bonus of reverting to
a storage device following the install.
You’ll find a fair few ISO to USB tools out there, and they feature a
range of tools for beginners and advanced users. Let’s take a look at the
burn time, and the resources available to each software.
Now, in no particular order, here are the ISO to USB burning tools
with their respective times:

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, the trainee will be able to:
1. Identify the different portable applications
2. Install a portable application
Portable apps are usually stored on USB drives but can be stored on
some other flash media. A portable app may also be uploaded to a cloud
storage service, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, and accessed online. In
either case, portable apps can be used on any compatible device,
wherever the user is.
A portable app is not installed and as a rule, does not put associated
files and configuration information on the host device but stores all
application files and data together. Because files and data are self-
contained, portable apps run independently of the host operating system
(OS).
A portable application does not leave its files or settings on the host
computer or modify the existing system and its configuration. The
application does not write to the Windows registry or store its
configuration files (such as an INI file) in the user's profile; instead, it
stores its configuration files in the portable directory. Another
requirement, since file paths will often differ on changing computers due
to variation in Windows drive letter assignments, is the need for
applications to store them in a relative format. While some applications
have options to support this behavior, many programs are not designed to
do this. A common technique for such programs is the use of a launcher

program to copy necessary settings and files to the host computer when
the application starts and move them back to the application's directory
when it closes.
Downloading:
1. Decide What You Want - The first step is to decide what you want
to get. Do you want a copy of Firefox Portable to run by itself? Or do
you want to download the full PortableApps Suite so you have a
whole platform for portable apps? For most folks, getting the whole
suite is recommended.
2. Browse to the App Page - Now that you've decided what you'd
like to get, browse to the app's page with its logo and the big
download button. If you scroll down to the download details section
of that page, it'll tell you how much space it will take up on your
device.
3. Click the Download Button - Click the big red download button
4. Select a Mirror - The next page lets you select a mirror. This is just
a technical way of saying, select a download server that's close to
you geographically so your download will be faster. You'll see

servers all over the world. Pick one nearby and then click the
Download link in the right-hand column of the table for the server
you've chosen.
5. Save it Locally - Your browser will usually ask you where you'd like
to save the file at this point. We recommend saving it right to your
computer's desktop so it's easy to find.
6. Wait for it to finish - The download will begin. After it finishes, you
can move on to installing
Installing:
1. Start the Installer - Find the installer you downloaded in the steps
above (usually on your desktop) and double-click it to start the
install process.
2. Install To - The installer will ask where you'd like to install to. It's
best to select the "root directory" of your portable device. So, if your
portable device is plugged in and shows up as drive E in Windows

From the image also we can see that the I/O Manager subsystem
bypasses the HAL to interact directly with the hardware. This is necessary
to achieve the efficiency and throughput required for I/O operation. The
protected subsystems are those parts of NT that interact with the end
user. A protected subsystem provides a graphical or command-line user
interface that defines the look and feel of the OS for a user. Additionally,
each protected subsystem provides the application programming interface
(API) for that particular operating environment. This means that
applications created for a particular operating environment may run
unchanged on NT because the OS interface that they see is the same as
that for which they were written.

When a computer is started up, the hardware will automatically load
the operating system and start it running. This process is called booting.
The reason for this odd term is that the operating system is itself involved
in getting itself running---a process that is like someone "pulling
themselves up by their bootstraps." Once the operating system is running,
it is used to start up any other program.
2. The OS finds the section of the hard disk where the application
program and its data are stored.
4. The OS makes a copy of the application and its data in that section
of main memory.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, the reader will be able to:
1. Install device drivers in your computer
There are also virtual device drivers (VxD), which are device driver
components that enable direct communication between a hardware
device and an application. Virtual device drivers help to manage the data
flow to enable multiple applications to access the same hardware without
a conflict. When there is an interrupt (a signal from a hardware device),
the virtual device driver configures the next instruction step based on the
status of the hardware device settings.
It is essential that a computer have the correct device drivers for all
its parts to keep the system running efficiently. When first turning on a
computer, the OS works with device drivers and the basic input/output
system (BIOS) to perform hardware tasks. Without a device driver, the OS
would not be able to communicate with the I/O device.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, the reader will be able to:
1. Update operating system
2. Update device drivers
The truth is it’s easy to skip software updates because they can take
up a few minutes of our time, and may not seem that important. But this
is a mistake that keeps the door open for hackers to access your private
information, putting you at risk for identity theft, loss of money, credit,
and more.
You may have heard of the recent Equifax data breach, in which 143
million Americans were potentially affected, with Social Security numbers,
birth dates, and home addresses exposed. The hackers were able to
access the credit reporting agency’s data through a known vulnerability in
a web application. A fix for this security hole was actually available two
months before the breach, but the company failed to update its software.
This was a tough lesson, but one that we can all learn from. Software
updates are important because they often include critical patches to
security holes.
Now that you know how important software updates can be, here are a
few more tips to keep you safe:
1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button in the lower left
corner. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of
results, click either Windows Update or Check for updates.
2. Click the Check for updates button and then wait while Windows
looks for the latest updates for your computer.
4. In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select
the check boxes for any updates that you want to install, and then
click OK.
There are some drivers that get automatically updated and installed
when you download them. In case the driver does not update on its own,
you need to follow the following steps to manually update them.
2. In the Device Manager window you will see a broad list of hardware
devices connected to your PC. For example, you will see Display
Adaptors, Keyboard, Sound Adaptor, mouse and other such devices
listed here. You can navigate through the list of hardware devices by
clicking on the (+) icon.
3. Scroll through the list, identify the driver you want to update, right
click on it and select the Properties option.
5. Upon selecting the update driver option an update driver wizard will
open. Select the option “Browse my computer for driver
software”. Next, select the option “Let me pick from a list of
device drivers on my computer” from the bottom of the open
window.
7. Select the hardware name in the given text box and click on
the Next button. The device driver update will now install on your
PC.
Steps/Procedure:
1. Open Device Manager
2. Select the driver you want to update
3. Right Click on Properties
4. Select Update driver Software
5. Browse my Computer for software
6. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my
computer
7. Browse the driver
