TYPES OF COMPUTER AND
1 OPERATING SYSTEMS

We have four different computer types classified according to their

performance, power, and size. A computer is an electronic device that
accepts data, processes it, stores, and then produces an output.

What’s In

How does a computer help you as a student? Can you identify the
type of computer you recently use? What is its operating system? In this
lesson you will learn the different types of computers and the importance
of an operating system to a computer.

 What Is It

TYPES OF COMPUTERS

Desktop Computer

A type of computer designed to fit comfortably

on top of a desk, typically with the monitor sitting
on top of the system unit. Desktop model computers
are wide and short, while tower model computers are
narrow and tall. Due to their shape, desktop model
computers are generally limited to three
internal mass storage devices. Desktop models
designed to be very small are sometimes referred to
as slimline models.

Laptop

A small, portable computer -- small enough that it can sit on your lap.
Today, computer laptops are more commonly referred to as notebook computers,
but technically laptops are slightly larger in size than notebooks in both
thickness and weight.

Tablet

A tablet is a type of notebook computer that has an LCD screen on which the user can
write using finger and swipe actions or by using a special-purpose pen,or stylus. Unlike
desktop computers, all user input is done directly on the tablet’s LCD screen. Hand writing
is digitized on a tablet computer and can be converted to standard text using handwriting
recognition, or left as handwritten text. You can also use the stylus to type on a pen-based
key layout. I n t h i s c a s e , the lettered keys are
arranged differently than the QWERTY keyboard. Tablet
PCs can be equipped with a keyboard and/or a mouse for
input.
Based on digital ink technology, the tablet PC
places a digitizer below or above an LCD screen to detect
the movement of a special pen and generate an
electromagnetic field that can capture the movement of
the special-purpose pen and record the movement on the
LCD screen.The effect is like writing on paper with liquid ink.

4 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Smartphone

Smartphones are a handheld device that integrates mobile phone

capabilities with the more common features of a handheld computer or
PDA. Smartphones allow users to store
information, send e-mails, install programs,
along with using a mobile phone in one device.
For example, a smartphone could be a
mobile phone with some PDA features built
into the device, or vice versa.

COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEMS

An operating system (OS) is a software that allows a user to run other

applications on a computing device.
The operating system manages a computer's software and hardware
resources, including:
Input devices such as a keyboard and mouse
Output devices such as display monitors, printers, and scanners
Network devices such as modems, routers, and network connections
Storage devices such as internal and external drives.

The OS also provides services to facilitate the efficient execution,

management, and memory allocations for any additional installed software
application programs.

Classification of Operating systems

Multi-user: Allows two or more users to run programs at the same time.
Multiprocessing : Supports running a program on more than one CPU.

Multitasking : Allows more than one program to run concurrently.

Multithreading : Allows different parts of a single program to run
concurrently.

Real time: Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating

systems, such as DOS and UNIX, are not real-time.

Most Popular Desktop Operating Systems

The three most popular types of operating systems for personal and
business computing include Linux, Windows, and Mac.

5 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Windows
Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems for personal and
business computers. Windows dominates the personal computer world,
providing graphical user interfaces (GUI), virtual memory management,
multitasking, and support for many peripheral devices.

https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2013/02/12/09/07/microsoft-80658_960_720.png

Mac

Mac OS is the official name of the Apple Macintosh operating

system. Mac OS features a graphical user interface (GUI) that utilizes
windows, icons, and all applications running on a Macintosh computer
have a similar user interface.

https://www.versionmuseum.com/images/operating-systems /mac-os-x/mac-os-x-logo-900x330.png

Linux

Linux is a freely distributed open- s o u r c e operating system that

runs on several hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed
mainly by Linus Torvalds and it is based on Unix.

https://pngimg.com/uploads/linux/linux_PNG29.png

According to Netmarketshare.com, the most used desktop operating

system and versions used on PCs (desktops and laptops) from January to
November, 2019 are:
Windows 87.40%
Mac OS 10.06%
Linux 1.95%
Chrome OS 0.39%
Unknown 0.20%
BSD 0.01%

6 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Mobile Operating Systems

In the same way that a desktop operating system controls your

desktop or laptop computer, mobile operating systems are designed
specifically to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones,
PDAs, tablet computers and other handhelds.

Popular mobile operating systems include iPhone OS / iOS and

Android OS.
The mobile OS is responsible for determining the functions and
features available on your device, such as thumb wheel, keyboards, WAP,
synchronization with applications, email, text messaging and more. The
mobile OS will also determine which third-party applications (mobile
apps) can be used on your device.

2 PERIPHERAL DEVICES /
COMPUTER HARDWARE
ASSEMBLY

Peripheral devices are defined as computer devices that are not part of
the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary
devices are designed to be connected to the computer.

What’s In

The Operating System is the one manages a computer's software

and hardware resources, including input devices such as a keyboard and
mouse, output devices such as display monitors, printers and scanners,
network devices such as modems, routers and network connections and
storage devices such as internal and external drives.

In this module you will learn the input and output devices that are
vital for the computer to function.

9 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
 What Is It

Types of Peripheral Devices

Input device

This is any machine that feeds data into a computer like the
keyboard. Input devices other than the keyboard are sometimes called
alternate input devices. Mice, trackballs, and light pens are all alternate
input devices.

Keyboard

A keyboard is defined as the set of typewriter-like keys that enables

you to enter data into a computer or to other devices. Computer keyboards
are similar to electric typewriters but contain additional typing keys.

Mouse
A mouse is a device that controls the movement of the cursor or
pointer on a display screen. A mouse is a small object you can roll along
a hard, flat surface. As you move the mouse, the pointer on the display
screen also moves in the same direction.

10 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Trackball
Trackball is a pointing device. To move the
pointer, you rotate the ball with your thumb, your
fingers, or the palm of your hand. There are
usually one to three buttons next to the ball,
which you use just like mouse buttons.

Light pen
A light pen is an input device that utilizes
a light-sensitive detector to select objects on a
display screen. It is similar to a mouse, except
that with a light pen you can move the pointer and
select objects on the display screen by directly
pointing to the objects with the pen.

Output device

Output device is any machine capable of representing information from a

computer. This includes display screens, printers, plotters, and synthesizers.

Monitor

Another term for display screen. The term monitor, however, usually refers to
the entire box, whereas display screen can mean just the screen. In addition, the term
monitor often implies graphics capabilities.

Printer

A printer is an output device that prints paper documents. This includes text
documents, images, or a combination of both.

11 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Plotter
This is a device that draws pictures on paper based on commands from
a computer. Plotters differ from printers in that they draw lines with a pen. As
a result, they can produce continuous lines. Multicolor plotters use different
colored pens to draw different colors.
In general, plotters are significantly more expensive than printers.
These are used in engineering applications where precision is required.

Computer Systems Design

Computer design deals with the hardware design of the computer.

Once the computer specifications are formulated, it is the task of the
designer to develop hardware for the system. Computer design is
concerned with the determination of what hardware should be used and
how the parts should be connected. This aspect of computer hardware is
sometimes referred to as computer implementation.

Computer Cases

The most common computer case is the tower. Depending on the

specific number of internal drive bays and the height of the tower, these
tower cases can be further classified into mini-size, mid-size and full-size.
One of the biggest considerations when choosing between case sizes is the
number of slots and the number of devices we would like to add to those
cases.

Full Tower
Full-tower cases are generally big with a height that is
about or more than 30 inches (more than 76 cm). The
number of internal drive bays inside these cases can be
between 6 and 10.

Mid Tower

Another case that might be a step down, would be

classified as a mid-tower case. Mid-tower cases are the
most widely used computer cases. Mid Tower cases are
about 18 to 24 (45 to 60 cm) inches high and they usually
12 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
contain 2 to 4 internal drive bays and a similar number of
external bays (for CD/DVD readers).

Mini Tower

Mini-tower usually has up to 2 or sometimes 3 internal

drive bays. Mini-cases normally stand at a height of 12 to 18
inches (30 to 45 cm). Expandability is a problem with these
cases.

Slim Line Case

Slim line cases are simply tower cases turned on

their sideways. They can hold a monitor on top of the
case.

Small Form Factor (SFF) Case

Small form factor or SFF cases are custom cases

that are designed to minimize the spatial volume of a
desktop computer. SFFs come in a variety of sizes and
shapes, including shoe boxes, cubes, and book-sized
PCs.

Computer Assembly Procedures

This guide will help you assemble a basic computer that can run most
modern software packages that casual users will encounter. Modern
computers become more affordable when users supplement their monetary
investment with a few hours of effort. Building this computer is very simple
and provides the minimum hardware r e q u i r e d f o r t h e c o m p u t e r t o
function. After you have all of the parts and materials needed, it will take
between 2 and 4 hours to assemble your computer and you will need to be
able to use simple hand tools, such as a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

Step 1: Procuring Parts

First you will need to buy the

parts necessary to build a computer.
The parts we will use in this project
are labeled in Figure 1:

1. Processor (CPU)
2. Computer Case
3. Optical Drive (DVD RW
and SATA capable)
4. Memory (RAM)
5. Power Supply
6. SATA Cables
13 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
 7. Motherboard (SATA Capable)
8. Processor Fan
9. Case Fan
10. Hard Drive (SATA Capable)
11. Assortment of case and drive screws (Not Pictured)
12. Flowers (necessary if you are invading the space of your
significant other)

Note: Double check the manufacturer’s specifications on all items before

you purchase them. The parts you bought should be compatible with each
other.

Step 2: Gather Tools and Supplies

Gather the tools you will need for the

project:

• Screwdriver (for slotted and

Phillips head screws)
• Wire cutters and strippers
• Needle-nosed pliers
• Utility knife
• Small flashlight
• Adjustable wrench
• Small container to hold screws
• Heat sink compound
• Grounding Strap

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 need them.

Warning: Using incorrect tools for a task (such as turning a screw with a
knife blade) can cause equipment damage and bodily injury.

Step 3: Open the Case

Open the computer case by Figure 3 Figure 4

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
(Figure 4) then lifting it away from
the case (Figure 5).

Warning: Case may have sharp

edges. Handle with care to avoid
injury.

14 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Step 4: Prepare the case for a ssembly

Three things need to be done before assembly begins:

• Remove any parts or packaging

materials that may have been
shipped inside the case (Figure 6).
• Remove the cover for the optical drive.
On our case, we will be removing
the cover on the highest drive bay
to mount our DVD drive as shown
in Figure 7. Do this by pressing in
the retaining tabs shown in figure 8.
• Make note of the cables pre-
installed in the case. These should
be front panel connections for
features such as the power switch,
audio jacks and USB ports. If they
are not labeled, consult the
manufacturer’s documentation and
label them yourself before other
parts are installed in the case
(Figure 8).

Step 5: Ground Yourself

Figure 10

Put the grounding strap on your wrist (Figure 10) 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.

Caution: Static electricity can ruin computer components. Always wear a

grounding strap when handling any internal components.

15 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Step 6: Install Motherboard

To install the motherboard, we need parts that should have been

included with your purchased components:

I/O Bezel is a trim panel installed at the back of the case that
surrounds the interface ports on the motherboard. It should be included
with the motherboard. Figure 12 shows the contents of the motherboard
box.

Standoffs are installed in the case screw holes to create a riser that
separates the case and the motherboard. The screws install into the
standoffs as shown in Figure 13. 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.
Follow these steps to install the motherboard in the case:
▪ Install the I/O Bezel plate into the opening at the back of
the case (Figure 14).
▪ It pushes in from the inside.

▪ Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw the

motherboard mounting holes shown in Figure 14. Check the
screw hole locations on the motherboard for exact placement.

▪ Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O
Bezel.
▪ Install the screws.

▪ Figure 15 shows the motherboard installed in the case. It works

best to leave the screws loose until all of them have been started
and the board is aligned with the Bezel.

Caution: To prevent damage to the motherboard it must only contact

the standoffs and screws. All the standoffs and screws must be installed.

16 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Step 7: Install Hard Drive

The hard drive is the device that stores all your data. It is 3.5" wide
and needs to be mounted so that you can gain access to the cable
connections at the back (Figure 16). If that is not possible, you may need
to connect the cables before you install the drive. To mount the drive:
▪ 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.

• Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides
are lined up with the holes in the case.

• Install the screws.

Step 8: Install Optical Drive

The optical drive is 5.25" wide and

is installed in the drive bay that we
removed the cover from in the previous
step. Cable access considerations apply
to this drive also. To install the drive:
▪ Slide the drive into the drive bay
until the screw holes are lined up
and the front of the drive is flush
with the front of the case (Figure
18). Make sure that it is
orientated correctly.
▪ Install the screws.

17 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Step 9: Install the CPU

The CPU is the brain of the computer. It is installed on the

motherboard in the socket shown in Figure 20. To install the CPU:
▪ Find the corner marking that designates pin 1 of the CPU
as shown in Figure 21.
▪ On this AMD brand processor, the corner is marked with
an arrow. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for
specific information about your processor.
▪ Lift the small metal rod next to the socket as shown in
Figure 20.
▪ Find the corresponding marking on the CPU socket and
insert the CPU so that the markings are lined up.
▪ Push the rod down to lock the processor in place (Figure 21).

Step 10: Install RAM

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:
• Set the RAM board in the socket as shown in Figure 22. Check
to see that the notch in the board is in the correct location. If
it is not, turn it around 180º.
• Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into the socket.
Make sure the tabs lock into place as shown in Figure 23.

Caution: Pressing the boards in when the tab is not aligned could cause
damage to the RAM boards as well as the motherboard.

18 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Step 11: Install the CPU Fan

The CPU fan is really a combination of a heat sink and fan together.
The unit draws heat away from the CPU. To install the fan:

▪ Place thermal compound to the CPU following

the instructions provided with the compound.

▪ Set the fan assembly on the CPU

with mounting tabs aligned.
▪ Pull the locking rod down on the fan
assembly to lock into place.

▪ Connect the fan assembly's power

connector to the motherboard.
Consult the manual to determine
proper placement.
Caution: Failure to apply thermal compound
will result in insufficient cooling and will cause damage to the CPU
and/or motherboard.

Step 12: Install Case Fan

The case fan is usually installed at the back

panel of the case. If the fan mount is not
obvious, consult the case documentation.
To mount the fan:
• Align the mounting holes by holding
the fan to the mounting pad on the
inside of the case as shown in figure
25. The fan needs to be mounted so
that it blows air out of the case.
• Insert the screws from the outside of
the case and tighten.

Step 13: Install Power Supply

Consult your case documentation for

details and then follow these directions to
install the power supply:

• Align the mounting holes in the case

and power supply as shown in Figure
26.

• Insert screws and tighten.

19 NegOr_Q3_CSS_Module 1_V2
Step 14: Connect Cables

With all the components installed in the

case, the jungle of wires can be daunting.
It is important to consult the motherboard’s
manual 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 Figure 27, 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.
Warning: Incorrect connections can damage components and cause
bodily injury.

Step 15: Wrap-up

Now that the components are completely

installed, the last thing to do is to reinstall the
side panels of the case. The computer is now
ready to be turned on and to have software
loaded in 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.
