Installing and Configuring Computer System

Installing and configuring a computer system involves making hardware and software ready for use. It includes installing operating systems, device drivers, and programs. The main components of a computer system are the CPU, motherboard, RAM, hard disk drive, power supply, and peripherals like a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Popular operating systems include Windows, macOS, Android and Linux. Peripherals are external devices that allow users to interface with the computer but are not essential to its main functions. The process of computer assembly allows enthusiasts to customize systems by building computers from individual components.

INSTALLING AND
CONFIGURING COMPUTER SYSTEM
WHAT IS INSTALLING AND
CONFIGURING COMPUTER SYSTEM?

Installation (or setup) of a computer program


(including device drivers and plugins), is the act of
making the program ready for execution.
Installation refers to the particular configuration
of software or hardware with a view to making it
usable with the computer
TYPES AND PARTS OF THE
COMPUTER
CPU
(Central possessing unit)
CPU, short for Central Processing Unit, is
commonly referred to as the brain of a
computer. It is one of the main components of a
computer system
MAIN MEMORY (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)

MAIN MEMORY or RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY


(RAM) is the physical memory space inside a
computer
MOTHERBOARD

A MOTHERBOARD is the main printed circuit board (PCB)


in a computer. The motherboard is a computer’s central
communications backbone connectivity point, through
which all components and external peripherals connect.
HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD)

A HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD), is a non-volatile


storage device that stores digital data and
works rapidly rotating platters with magnetic
surfaces.
STORAGE

The term STORAGE is generally used to denote


the ‘external memory’ or ‘SECONDARY MEMORY’
of the computer.
POWER SUPPLY UNIT

A power supply provides electricity to all


components of a computer system. A power
supply provides electricity to all components of
a computer system.

TYPES OF COMPUTER
OPERATING SYSTEM

There are mainly 5 popular operating


systems: Apple mac OS, Microsoft
Windows, Google’s Android OS, Linux
Operating
APPLE mac OS

Mac OS (previously called


OS X) is a line of operating
systems created by Apple.
It comes preloaded on all
Macintosh computers, or
Macs.
MICROSOFT WINDOWS
Microsoft Windows (also
known as Windows or Win) is
a graphical operating system
developed and published by
Microsoft. It provides a way
to store files, run software,
play games, watch videos,
and connect to the Internet.
GOOGLE ANDROID OS
Android is a mobile operating
system based on a modified
version of the Linux kernel and
other open-source software,
designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices
such as smartphones and
tablets.
LINUX OPERATING
Open source and community-
developed operating system (OS)
for computers, servers,
mainframes, mobile devices and
embedded devices. It is supported
on almost every major computer
platform, including x86, ARM and
SPARC, making it one of the most
widely supported operating
systems.

DEVICES
WHAT DOES
PERIPHERAL
DEVICES
MEANS?
A peripheral device is an
internal or external device
that connects directly to a
computer or other digital
device but does not
contribute to the computer’s
primary function, such as
computing. It helps end users
access and use the
functionalities of a computer.
EXAMPLES OF PERIPHERAL DEVICES

ASSEMBLY.
WHAT IS A COMPUTER DESIGN?
▪ Computer systems design is the industry that writes the software that
runs computers, designs the integration of software and hardware, and
operates data processing facilities.
▪ There are four system design processes: developing stakeholder
expectations, technical requirements, logical decompositions, and
design solutions. Figure 4.0-1 illustrates the recursive relationship
among the four system design processes
COMPUTER ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
▪ What is computer assembly?
▪ Computer assembly is the process of building a computer from scratch by
integrating multiple hardware devices into one working system.
▪ Computer enthusiasts perform computer assembly for various reasons that include
but are not limited to customizing performance, upgrading old systems,
repurposing used hardware, and saving costs by assembling their own machines
rather than buying pre-manufactured computers off the shelf.
THE PROCESS
▪ Theprocess of computer assembly involves several steps
that include assembling the motherboard, installing the
CPU chip/processor, attaching heat sinks to prevent
overheating, inserting system memory into designated
slots or sockets, adding power supply units to convert
electrical currents into usable voltages for components
within the case, connecting cables to various parts of the
motherboard and installing other internal parts.
Why perform computer assembly?
▪Some reasons why enthusiasts perform computer assembly are
because they want more control over their systems’ performance
characteristics or simply enjoy putting together machines from
scratch. There are risks involved in building your own computer
instead of purchasing a pre-manufactured unit but it is not
necessarily more difficult than changing out a part in an existing
machine. If you are new to computer assembly I would
recommend taking a look at a guide written by an experienced
enthusiast before you start with your project.
How to assemble a computer
Step 1: Mount the Processor.
Step 2: Fix the Motherboard in the Tower Case.
Step 3: Connect the Power Supply.
Step 4: Install the Drives.
Step 5: Connect Cables.
Step 6: Mount the Memory Modules.
Step 7: Install the Internal Cards.
Step 8: Cover the Tower.
