Introduction to Computer Systems

What is Computer?

A computer is an electronic device that helps people perform

different task.
It accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and
manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of
instructions on how the data is to be processed.

FOUR (4) TYPES OF COMPUTER:

Since the advent of the first computer different types and sizes of computers are
offering different services. Computers can be as big as occupying a large building and
as small as a laptop or a microcontroller in systems. The four basic types of computers
are:

1. Super computer
2. Mainframe computer
3. Minicomputer
4. Microcomputer

1. Supercomputer

The most powerful computers in terms of

performance and data processing are the
supercomputers. These are specialized and task
specific computers used by large organizations.
These computers are used for research and
exploration purposes, like NASA uses
supercomputers for launching space shuttles,
controlling them and for space exploration IBM AC922 system
purpose.
This Supercomputer Can Calculate in 1 Second
What Would Take You 6 Billion Years.
Uses of Supercomputer: The supercomputer is an IBM AC922 system that's
made up of 4,608 computer servers
• Space Exploration
• Earthquake studies
• Weather Forecasting
• Nuclear weapons testing

2. Mainframe computer

Although Mainframes are not as powerful as supercomputers,

but certainly they are quite expensive nonetheless, and many
large firms & government organizations uses Mainframes to run
their business operations. The Mainframe computers can be
accommodated in large air-conditioned rooms because of its size.
Super-computers are the fastest computers with large data
storage capacity.

3. Minicomputer IBM System z9 mainframe

Minicomputers are used by small businesses & firms.

Minicomputers are also called as “Midrange Computers”. These are
small machines and canbe accommodated on a disk with not as
processing and data storage capabilities as super-computers &
Mainframes.

4. Microcomputer

Desktop computers, laptops, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablets & smartphones
are all types of microcomputers. The micro-computers are widely used & the fastest
growing computers. These computers are the cheapest among the other three types of
computers. The Micro-computers are specially designed for general usage like
entertainment, education and work purposes. Well known manufacturers of Micro-
computer are Dell, Apple, Samsung, Sony & Toshiba.

THE 3 FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE COMPUTER

1. System Unit>acts like the center or

core, processing the data and
information it receives from input
devices.

2. Input Devices>An input device is any

hardware device that sends data to a
computer, allowing you to interact
with and control the computer.

3. Output Devices>these are the devices

like printers. It receives the system
unit's processed information.

1. Input Devices

The most commonly used or primary input

devices on a computer are
the keyboard and mouse. However, there are
dozens of other devices that can also be used to
input data into the computer.

2. Output Device

Is any peripheral that

receives data from a computer,
usually for display, projection, or
physical reproduction.

1. System Case
2. Motherboard
3. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4. Random Access Memory (RAM)
5. Power Supply
6. Hard disk
7. CDROM drive
8. Expansion Slot

1. System Case

A computer case also known as a computer

chassis, tower, system unit, cabinet, base unit
or simply case and sometimes incorrectly
referred to as the "CPU" or "hard drive", is the
enclosure that contains most of the
Desktop Case
components of a computer.

Two Types of System Case Tower Case

1. Tower (Full, Mid, Mini) – designed to sit vertically

2. Desktop (Standard, Slimline) – designed to sit horizontally

2. Motherboard

A printed circuit board containing the principal

components of a computer or other device, with
connectors into which other circuit boards can be
slotted.
It holds and allows communication between
many of the crucial electronic components of a system
such as the central processing unit (CPU) and memory,
and provides connectors for other peripherals.

3. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

A CPU is the electronic circuitry within a computer

that carries out the instructions of a computer program by
performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and
input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

4. Random Access Memory (RAM)

RAM is the physical hardware inside a computer that

temporarily stores data, serving as the computer's "working"
memory. Additional RAM allows a computer to work with
more information at the same time, which usually has a
considerable effect on total system performance.

 5. Power Supply

A power supply is an electronic device that supplies electric energy

to an electrical load. The primary function of a power supply is to
convert one form of electrical energy to another and, as a result,
power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power
converters.

6. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

The hard disk drive is the main, and usually largest, data
storage hardware device in a computer. The operating
system, software titles, and most other files are stored in the
hard disk drive.

The hard drive is sometimes referred

to as the "C drive" due to the fact that
Microsoft Windows, by default,
designates the "C" drive letter to the
primary partition on the primary hard
e hard disk drive in a computer.

7. CD-ROM Drive

A CD-ROM /ˌsiːˌdiːˈrɒm/ is a pre-pressed optical compact disc which

contains data. The name is an acronym which stands for "Compact
Disc Read-Only Memory". Computers can read CD-ROMs, but cannot
write to CD-ROMs which are not writable or erasable.
CD – Compact Disk, DVD – Digital Versatile Disk

8. Expansion Slot

The expansion slot (also expansion board, adapter card or

accessory card) in computing is a printed circuit board that can be
inserted into an electrical connector, or
expansion slot on a computer motherboard, backplane or
riser card to add functionality to a computer system via
the expansion bus.

Software Installation

An installation program or installer is a computer

program that installs files, such as applications, drivers, or
other software, onto a computer.

Installation (or setup) of a computer program (including device drivers and

plugins), is the act of making the program ready for execution. Because the
process varies for each program and each computer, programs (including
operating systems) often come with an installer, a specialized program
responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may
be part of a larger software deployment process.

Installer

An installation program or installer is a computer program that installs

files, such as applications, drivers, or other software, onto a computer. Some
installers are specifically made to install the files they contain; other installers
are general-purpose and work by reading the contents of the software package to
be installed.
