OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS)

Learning Objective: after reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1.) Explain the Occupational Health and Safety in your computer related
works including dealing with electrical components of a computer.
INTRODUCTION:
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) also commonly referred to as
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) or Workplace Health and Safety
(WHS) is an area concerned with the safety, health and welfare of people
engaged in work or employment. The goals of occupational safety and health
programs include to foster a safe and healthy work environment. OHS may also
protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and many others
who might be affected by the workplace environment. In the United States the
term occupational health and safety is referred to as occupational health and
occupational and non-occupational safety and includes safety for activities
outside of work.

Occupational Health and Safety can be important for moral, legal, and
financial reasons because Good OHS practices can also reduce worker injury
and illness related costs, including medical care, sick leave and disability
benefit costs.
What is OHS and why is it necessary?

OHS or OH&S stands for Occupational Health and Safety, it is a cross-

disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of
people engaged in work or employment.

OHS relating to Installing computer systems and networks:

1. Safety on handling computer components and devices

2. Safety on connecting power connectors
3. Check the proper voltage for every device.
4. Check the electrical connection for faulty wirings.
5. Use power surge protector or suppressor.
6. Use proper screw and screwdrivers for each component.
7. Hold CPU components and CD‟s/DVD‟s on its edges or in its bracket.
8. Put extra care in dismantling and returning the IO shield.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Learning Objective: after reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1.) Discuss and explain the Personal Protective Equipment in your computer
related works.
INTRODUCTION:
Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets,
goggles, or other garment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury by
blunt impacts, electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and infection, for job-related
occupational safety and health purposes, and in sports, martial arts, combat,
etc.

To protect anyone from danger by working any electrical activities, protective

equipment such as safety shoes, goggles, hard hats, and gloves are issued. The
use of this equipment is mandatory on certain activity. Their use is a MUST,
and there is no question about that. Be sure to USE THEM on any designated
activity WHERE they are REQUIRED. They can protect you from a lot of harm.
Importance of Personal Protective Equipment‟s:
 The type of personal protective equipment (PPE) needed when using hand
tools depends on the nature of the task. At a minimum, eye protection
should always be worn.
 The use of hand protection may also be appropriate to provide protection
against cuts, abrasion, and repeated impact.

The purpose of personal protective equipment is to reduce exposure to hazards

in a workplace. PPE is needed when there are hazards present.

Date Developed: Document No.

Eye and Face Protection –This will be used to avoid being exposed to a large
number of hazards that pose danger to their eyes and face. Then to ensure that
workers have appropriate eye or face protection if they are exposed to eye or
face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or
caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, potentially infected material or
potentially harmful light radiation.

 Safety spectacles. These protective eyeglasses have safety frames

constructed of metal or plastic and impact-resistant lenses. Side shields
are available on some models.
 Goggles. These are tight-fitting eye protection that completely cover the
eyes, eye sockets and the facial area immediately surrounding the eyes
and provide protection from impact, dust and splashes. Some goggles will
fit over corrective lenses.
 Face shields. These shields protect against nuisance dusts and potential
splashes or sprays of hazardous liquids but will not provide adequate
protection against impact hazards. Face shields used in combination
with goggles or safety spectacles will provide additional protection against
impact hazards.

Foot and Leg Protection  Used for possible foot or leg injuries from the Moist
floors, Non-grounded Power Extension cables and Power Surge that you might
get a serious injuries.

 Safety shoes Safety shoes to be used electrically conductive to prevent

the buildup of static electricity in areas with the potential for explosive
atmospheres or nonconductive to protect workers from workplace
electrical hazards.

Hand and Arm Protection - If a workplace hazard assessment reveals that

workers face potential injury to hands and arms that cannot be eliminated
through work activity and practice controls. Working Gloves with a plastic
rubber is one of the examples of Hand and Arm Protection Equipment‟s that
usually used in any electrical working activities.

Body Protection – This is used to protect possible bodily injury in the work
place, workers must wear appropriate body protection while performing their
jobs. In addition to cuts and radiation and avoid some electrical charges leaks
that cannot be eliminated.

Safety precautions

Proper preparation is the key to a successful built. Before you begin, make sure
that you have the tool you will need, and secure a clear well-lit workplace.
Gather all the components you‟ll be using and unpack them at the same time.
Find a dry, well-ventilated place to do your work, you should choose an area
without carpets, because it tends to create static electricity. Always keep in
mind that personal protection is one of the traits of a good technician.

Preventive Maintenance

Maintenance is keeping something in working order. It includes repair, testing,

adjusting, and replacing parts of a computer or a peripheral.

Types of Maintenance
 Active
 Passive

Accident reports

Forms used to give specific details with regards to the accidents happed in the
laboratory during experiments.

Accident reports contain the following details:

 Name of the person injured

 Date and time of the accident
 Type of injury
 First aid given
 Action taken to prevent further accidents

1. Anti-Static Devices
2. Power Surge Protector Devices

Anti-Static devices - These are the devices used to protect computer units
from electro static discharge.

 Anti-static Wrist Strap – or ESD wrist strap,

or ground bracelet is an antistatic device used
to safely ground a person working on very
sensitive electronic equipment, to prevent the
buildup of static electricity on their body, which
can result in electrostatic discharge (ESD).

 Anti-static Mat - An antistatic floor mat or

ground mat is one of a number of antistatic
devices designed to help eliminate static
electricity. It does this by having a controlled
low resistance: a metal mat would keep parts
grounded but would short out exposed parts;
an insulating mat would provide no ground
reference and so would not provide grounding.

 Anti-static Bag - is a bag used for shipping

(usually electronic) components, which are prone
to damage caused by electrostatic discharge.

An electrostatic-sensitive device (ESD) is any component which can be

damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other
non-conductors or semiconductors. ESD commonly also stands for
electrostatic discharge.

As electronic parts like computer central processing units (CPUs) become

packed more and more densely with transistors the transistors shrink and
become more and more vulnerable to ESD.

Power Surge Protector Devices - is designed to protect electrical devices from
voltage spikes. A surge protector attempts to limit the voltage supplied to an
electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground any unwanted
voltages above a safe threshold.

 Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) - is

designed to automatically maintain a
constant voltage level. A voltage regulator
may be a simple "feed-forward" design or may
include negative feedback control loops. It
may use an electromechanical mechanism, or
electronic components. Depending on the
design, it may be used to regulate one or
more AC or DC voltages.

 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - is an

electrical apparatus that provides emergency
power to a load when the input power source,
typically mains power, fails. A UPS differs
from an auxiliary or emergency power system
or standby generator in that it will provide
near-instantaneous protection from input
power interruptions, by supplying energy
stored in batteries, super capacitors, or
flywheels. The on-battery runtime of most
uninterruptible power sources is relatively
short (only a few minutes) but sufficient to
start a standby power source or properly shut
down the protected equipment.
A UPS is typically used to protect hardware such as computers, data
centers, telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment
where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities,
serious business disruption or data loss.

COMPONENTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM AND PERIPHERAL

DEVICES

Learning Objectives: After reading this information you must be able to

identify the different components of a computer system and its peripheral
devices.
Computer System
 refers to a computer and all of the input, output, (peripherals) and
storage devices that are connected to it.

Personal Computer System or simply a Personal Computer (PC) is a type of

computer that is designed to be used by a single person at a time. This type of
computer is also known as Desktop Computer.
Classification of System Components:
Input Device:
 Usually a keyboard and mouse, the input device is the device through
which data and instructions are entered.
Output Device:
 A monitor, printer, or other device that lets you see what the computer
has accomplished.

This section briefly examines all the components in a modern PC system
unit.
Here are the most important components needed to assemble
a basic modern PC system and make it
functional:
 Monitor (display)
o In most systems, the monitor is
housed in its own protective
case, separate from the system
case and chassis. Monitors are
generally classified by three major criteria: diagonal size in inches,
resolution in pixels, and refresh rate in hertz (Hz). Desktop
monitors usually range from 14” to 21” diagonal measure.

1. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)

2. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

 Keyboard: The keyboard is the primary device on a

PC that is used by a human being to communicate
with and control a system.

 Mouse a device that enabled a user to

point at or select items that were
shown on the screen.

The following are the additional components of a PC system. This means

that an already fully-functional PC system can stand on its own even without
these components.
 CD-ROM, CD-R, or DVD-ROM drive
a. CD- (Compact Disc) and
DVD- (Digital Versatile
Disc) ROM (Read Only
Memory) drives are
relatively high capacity
removable media optical
drives. They are primarily a
read-only medium, which
means the drives can only
read information, and the
data on the discs cannot be altered or rewritten. There are

writable or rewritable versions of the discs and drives
available, but they are much more expensive than their read-
only counterparts, and therefore are not included
standard in most PCs. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM are the
most popular media for distributing software or large
amounts of data because they are very inexpensive when
produced in quantity and they can hold a great deal of
information.
 Floppy drive
b. The floppy drive is a simple,
inexpensive, low capacity
removable media magnetic storage
device. For many years floppy
disks were the primary medium for
software distribution and system
backup. However, with the advent
of CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs
as the primary method of installing or loading new
software in a system, and with inexpensive high capacity
tape drives for backup, the floppy drive is not used very
often in most modern systems, except perhaps by a
system builder, installer, or technician. Because the
floppy drive is the first device from which a PC attempts to
boot, it is still the primary method that is used for loading
initial operating systems‟ startup software and core
hardware diagnostics. Recent advancements in technology
have created new types of floppy drives with up to 120MB
or more of storage, making the drive much more usable
for temporary backups or for moving files from system to
system.
 Sound card
c. Today‟s PC audio hardware
usually takes the form of an
audio adapter on an expansion
card that you install into a bus
slot in the computer. As with
video adapters, some systems
today include the audio hardware directly on the
motherboard. The adapter provides jacks for speakers, a
microphone, and sometimes other devices such as
joysticks and MIDI hardware. On the software side, the
audio adapter requires the support of a driver that you
install either directly from an application or in your
computer‟s operating system.

MICROPROCESSOR AND ITS PROCESSES

Fetch - retrieves an instruction from program memory.

Decode - CPU fetches from memory is used to determine
what the CPU will be doing. In the decode step, the
instruction is broken up into parts for processing.
Execute - various portions of the CPU are connected so they
can perform the desired operation.
Writeback, returns the results of the execute step to memory. Very often the
results are written to some internal CPU register for quick access by
subsequent instructions. In other cases results may be written to slower, but
cheaper and larger, main memory.

Peripherals Devices

 A peripheral is a type of computer hardware that is added to a host

computer, in order to expand its abilities. More specifically the term is
used to describe those devices that are optional in nature, as opposed to
hardware that is either demanded, or always required in principle.
 The term also tends to be applied to devices that are hooked up
externally, typically though some form of computer bus like USB. Typical
examples include joysticks, printers and scanners. Devices such as
monitors and disk drives are not considered peripherals because they are
not truly optional, and video capture cards are typically not referred to as
peripheral because they are internal devices
Printers
A computer printer is a computer peripheral device that produces a hard copy
(permanent human-readable text and/or graphics, usually on paper) from data
stored in a computer connected to it.

The media for most printers is paper, so they are usually classified according to
the method of image creation:
 Non-impact printing
Toner-based printers - Laser printers refer to the method used to adhere
toner to the media. The advent of cost-effective, precision lasers has made them
the dominant toner-based monochrome printer type for home and office
applications.
Ink jet printers - Ink jet printers spray very small, precise amounts
(usually a few picolitres) of ink onto the media. For color applications including
photo printing, ink jet methods are dominant.
 Impact printers
Impact printers rely on a forcible impact to transfer ink to the media, similar to
typewriters, that are typically limited to reproducing text. A daisy wheel printer
is a specific type of impact printer where the type is carried on a wheel.

Dot-matrix printers - in the Dot

general sense many printers
rely on a matrix of pixels, or matri
dots, that together form the Laser x
larger image. However, the
term dot matrix printer is
printe printe
specifically used for impact r r
printers that use a matrix of Inkjet
small pins to create precise
dots. The advantage of dot- printe
matrix over other impact r
printers is that they can produce graphical images in addition to text; however
the text is generally of poorer quality than type-based impact printers. Dot
matrix printers are still commonly used in low-cost, low-quality applications
like cash registers. The fact that they use an impact printing method allows
them to be used to print multi-part documents using carbonless copy paper
(like sales invoices and credit card receipts), whereas other printing methods
are unusable with paper of this type. Dot-matrix printers have been superseded
for general computing use.
Scanners
A scanner is a device which analyzes a physical image (such as a photograph,
printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as ornament) and converts it to
a digital image.

Most scanners today are variations on the desktop (or flatbed) scanner. Hand-
held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, were briefly popular but are
now not used due to the impossibility of obtaining a high-quality image. Both
these types of scanners use a CCD as the image sensor, whereas a drum
scanner uses a photomultiplier tube (PMT) as the image sensor.

Early scanners had parallel connections that could not go faster than 70
kilobytes/second. Professional models adopted the SCSI-II connection, which
was much faster (a few megabytes per second) albeit expensive, and frequently
requiring a dedicated expansion card to be put inside the host computer.
Recent economic models come equipped with USB connections. In its first
version, USB was capable of roughly 1 megabyte per second. Recent models
use USB 2.0 connections that can transfer about 40 megabytes per second,
eliminating the bottleneck.

Speakers
d. A computer speaker, also known as
multimedia speaker, is an external speaker
connected to a PC with built-in low power
amplifier for volume regulation. Basically, a
speaker is an electronic component that
converts electrical signal into actual sound.
Although PCs are originally released with an
external speaker capable of producing beeps
and tones it is still dependent on the external
speaker for quality sound output.

Parts and Functions of Computer System
Hardware
1. Casing - A computer case contains the
framework to support a computer‟s internal
components while providing an enclosure
for added protection. The size and layout of
a case is called a form factor.
types of cases
1. Desktop- slim line or full-size
2. Tower - mini or full-sized
Computer cases are referred to in a number of ways:
 Computer chassis
 Cabinet
 Tower
 Box
 Housing

When choosing a computer case, consider the following:

 Model type: There are two main case models. One type is for
desktop PCs, and the other is for tower computers. The type
of motherboard you choose determines the type of case that
can be used. The size and shape must match exactly.
 Size: If a computer has many components, it needs more
room for airflow to keep the system cool.
 Available space: Desktop cases allow space conservation in
tight areas, because the monitor can be placed on top of the
unit. The design of the desktop case may limit the number
and size of the components that can be added.
 Power supply: You must match the power rating and
connection type of the power supply to the type of
motherboard you have chosen.
 Appearance: Some people don‟t care how the case looks.
Others do. You have many case designs to choose from if you
want an attractive case.
 Status display: What is going on inside the case can be very
important. LED indicators that are mounted on the front of
the case can tell you if the system is receiving power, when
the hard drive is being used, and when the computer is on
standby or sleeping.
 The number of external or internal drive locations, called
bays

 Vents: All cases have a vent on the power supply, and some
have another vent on the back to help draw air into or out of
the system. Some cases are designed with more vents in the
event that the system needs a way to dissipate an unusual
amount of heat. This situation may occur when many
devices are installed close together in the case.

2. Power Supply - The power supply, shown in the

Figure below, converts alternating-current (AC)
power coming from a wall outlet into direct-
current (DC) power, which is a lower voltage. DC
power is required for all the components inside
the computer. It converts the 220v AC wall
current into the 3.3v, 5v, or 12v power that the
system requires for operation.
Connectors
Most connectors today are keyed connectors. Keyed connectors are
designed to be inserted in only one direction. Each part of the connector
has a colored wire with a different voltage running through it.
Note:

Different power supply form factors provide different power output connections,
depending on system requirements. AT form factors have been slowly phased out by
ATX form factor power supplies because of the different case sizes and advanced
features. ATXv12 was created to add power support for the motherboard by adding
another four-pin power connector.

Different connectors are used to connect specific components and

various locations on the motherboard:
 A Molex connector is a keyed connector used to connect to an
optical drive or hard drive.
 A Berg connector is a keyed connector used to connect to a floppy
drive. A Berg connector is smaller than a Molex connector.
 A 20-pin or 24-pin slotted connector is used to connect to the
motherboard. The 24-pin slotted connector has two rows of 12 pins
each, and the 20-pin slotted connector has two rows of 10 pins
each.
 A four-pin-to-eight-pin auxiliary power connector has two rows of
two to four pins and supplies power to all areas of the
motherboard. The four-pin-to-eight-pin auxiliary power connector
is the same shape as the main power connector, but smaller.

 Older standard power supplies used two connectors called P8 and
P9 to connect to the motherboard. P8 and P9 were unkeyed
connectors. They could be installed backwards, potentially
damaging the motherboard or power supply. The installation
required that the connectors were lined up with the black wires
together in the middle.
3. Mother Board – The motherboard is the main printed circuit board. It
contains the buses, or electrical pathways, found in a computer. These
buses allow data to travel between the various components that
comprise a computer. A motherboard is also known as the system
board, backplane, or main board.
The motherboard accommodates the central processing unit (CPU),
RAM, expansion slots, heat sink/fan assembly, BIOS chip, chip set, and
the embedded wires that interconnect the motherboard components.
Sockets, internal and external connectors, and various ports are also
placed on the motherboard
The form factor of motherboards pertains to the board‟s size and shape.
It also describes the physical layout of the different components and
devices on the motherboard. Motherboards have various form factors:
 Advanced Technology (AT)
 Advanced Technology Extended (ATX)
 Smaller footprint than Advanced Technology Extended (Mini-ATX)
 Smaller footprint than Advanced Technology Extended (Micro-ATX)
 Low-Profile Extended (LPX)
 New Low-Profile Extended (NLX)
 Balanced technology Extended (BTX)
An important set of components on the motherboard is the chip set.
The chip set is composed of various integrated circuits attached to the
motherboard that control how system hardware interacts with the
CPU and motherboard. The CPU is installed into a slot or socket on
the motherboard. The socket on the motherboard determines the type
of CPU that can be installed.
The chip set of a motherboard allows the CPU to communicate and
interact with the computer‟s other components and to exchange data
with system memory (RAM), hard-disk drives, video cards, and other
output devices. The chip set establishes how much memory can be
added to a motherboard. The chip set also determines the type of
connectors on the motherboard.
Most chip sets are divided into two distinct components, Northbridge
and Southbridge. What each component does varies from
manufacturer to manufacturer, but in general the Northbridge
controls access to the RAM, video card, and the speeds at which the

CPU can communicate with them. The video card is sometimes
integrated into the Northbridge. The Southbridge, in most cases,
allows the CPU to communicate with the hard drives, sound card,
USB ports, and other input/output (I/O) ports.

4. Central Processing Unit - The central processing unit (CPU) is
considered the computer‟s brain. It is sometimes called the processor.
Most calculations take place in the CPU. In terms of computing power,
the CPU is the most important element of a computer system. CPUs come
in different form factors, each style requiring a particular slot or socket
on the motherboard. Common CPU manufacturers include Intel and
AMD.

The CPU socket or slot is the connector that is the interface between the
motherboard and the processor. Most CPU sockets and processors in use
today are built around the pin grid array (PGA) architecture, in which the
pins on the underside of the processor are inserted into the socket,
usually with zero insertion force (ZIF). ZIF refers to the amount of force
needed to install a CPU into the motherboard socket or slot. Slot-based
processors are cartridge- shaped and fit into a slot that looks similar to
an expansion slot.
The CPU executes a program, which is a sequence of stored instructions.
Each model of processor has an instruction set, which it executes. The
CPU executes the program by processing each piece of data as directed
by the program and the instruction set. While the CPU is executing one
step of the program, the remaining instructions and the data are stored
nearby in a special memory called cache. Two major CPU architectures
are related to instruction sets:
 Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC): Architectures
use a relatively small set of instructions, and RISC chips are
designed to execute these instructions very rapidly.
 Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC): Architectures
use a broad set of instructions, resulting in fewer steps per
operation.
Some CPUs incorporate hyper threading to enhance the CPU‟s
performance. With hyper threading, the CPU has multiple pieces of
code being executed simultaneously on each pipeline. To an operating
system, a single CPU with hyper threading appears to be two CPUs.
A CPU‟s power is measured by its speed and the amount of data it can
process. A CPU‟s speed is rated in cycles per second. The speed of
current CPUs is measured in millions of cycles per second, called
megahertz (MHz), or billions of cycles per second, called gigahertz
(GHz). The amount of data that a CPU can process at the one time
depends on the size of the processor data bus. This is also called the CPU
bus or the front-side bus (FSB). The wider the processor data bus, the

more powerful the processor. Current processors have a 32-bit or 64-
bit processor data bus.
Over clocking is a technique used to make a processor work at a faster
speed than its original specification. Over clocking is an unreliable way to
improve computer performance and can damage the CPU.
MMX is a set of multimedia instructions built into Intel processors.
MMX-enabled microprocessors can handle many common multimedia
operations that normally are handled by a separate sound or video card.
However, only software specially written to call MMX instructions can
take advantage of the MMX instruction set.
The latest processor technology has caused CPU manufacturers to find
ways to incorporate more than one CPU core into a single chip. Many
CPUs can process multiple instructions concurrently:
 Single-core CPU: One core inside a single CPU chip that
handles all the processing capability. A motherboard
manufacturer may provide sockets for more than a single
processor, providing the ability to build a powerful
multiprocessor computer.
 Dual-core CPU: Two cores inside a single CPU chip, in which
both cores can process information at the same time.
5. Cooling System – Electronic components generate heat. Heat is caused by
the flow of current within the components. Computer components
perform better when kept cool. If the heat is not removed, the computer
may run slower. If too much heat builds up, computer components can
be damaged. Increasing the air flow in the computer case allows more
heat to be removed. A case fan is installed in the computer case to make
the cooling process more efficient.

In addition to case fans, a heat sink draws heat away from the core of the
CPU. A fan on top of the heat sink moves the heat away from the CPU

Other components are also susceptible to heat damage and sometimes

are equipped with fans. Video adapter cards produce a great deal of heat.
Fans are dedicated to cooling the graphics-processing unit (GPU).

Computers with extremely fast CPUs and GPUs may use a water-cooling
system. A metal plate is placed over the processor, and water is pumped
over the top to collect the heat that the CPU creates. The water is
pumped to a radiator to be cooled by the air and then is re-circulated.
6. ROM and RAM – ROM and RAM provide memory for a vast amount of
computer equipment. They come in different memory sizes and module
sizes and have different features.
ROM (Read only Memory) - chips are located on the motherboard.
ROM chips contain instructions that the CPU can access directly.

ROM stores basic instructions for booting the computer and
loading the operating system. ROM chips retain their contents even
when the computer is powered down. The contents cannot be
erased, changed, or rewritten by normal means.
Types of ROM
 Programmable read-only memory (PROM): Information is
written to a PROM chip after it is manufactured. A PROM chip
cannot be erased or rewritten.
 Erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM):
Information is written to an EPROM chip after it is
manufactured. An EPROM chip can be erased with exposure to
UV light. Special equipment is required.
 Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory
(EEPROM): Information is written to an EEPROM chip after it is
manufactured. EEPROM chips are also called flash ROMs. An
EEPROM chip can be erased and rewritten without removing
the chip from the computer

RAM (Random Access Memory) - is

the temporary storage for data and
programs that are being accessed by
the CPU. RAM is volatile memory, which
means that the contents are erased
when the computer is powered off. The
more RAM in a computer, the more
capacity the computer has to hold and
process large programs and files, as
well as enhance system performance.

Types of RAM
 Dynamic RAM (DRAM) is a memory chip that is used as main
memory. DRAM must be constantly refreshed with pulses of
electricity to maintain the data stored in the chip.
 Static RAM (SRAM) is a memory chip that is used as cache
memory. SRAM is much faster than DRAM and does not have to
be refreshed as often.
 Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM is memory that supports paging.
Paging enables faster access to the data than regular DRAM.
Most 486 and Pentium systems from 1995 and earlier use FPM
memory.
 Extended Data out (EDO) RAM is memory that overlaps
consecutive data accesses. This speeds up the access time to

retrieve data from memory, because the CPU does not have to
wait for one data access cycle to end before another data access
cycle begins.
 Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is DRAM that operates in
synchronization with the memory bus. The memory bus is the
data path between the CPU and the main memory.
 Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM is memory that transfers data
twice as fast as SDRAM. DDR SDRAM increases performance by
transferring data twice per cycle.
 Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SDRAM is faster than DDR-SDRAM
memory. DDR2 SDRAM improves performance over DDR
SDRAM by decreasing noise and crosstalk between the signal
wires.
 RAM Bus DRAM (RDRAM) is a memory chip that was developed
to communicate at very high rates of speed. RDRAM chips are
not commonly used
Memory Modules
Early computers had RAM installed on the motherboard as
individual chips. These individual memory chips, called dual
inline package (DIP) chips, were difficult to install and often
became loose on the motherboard. To solve this problem,
designers soldered the memory chips on a special circuit board
called a memory module.
The different types of memory modules
 Dual Inline Package (DIP) is an individual memory chip. A DIP
had dual rows of pins used to attach it to the motherboard.
 Single Inline Memory Module (SIMM) is a small circuit board
that holds several memory chips. SIMMs has 30-pin and 72-pin
configurations.
 Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) is a circuit board that
holds SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, and DDR2 SDRAM chips. There
are 168-pin SDRAM DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, and 240-pin
DDR2 DIMMs.
 RAM Bus Inline Memory Module (RIMM) is a circuit board
that holds RDRAM chips. A typical RIMM has a 184-pin
configuration.
Cache Memory
SRAM is used as cache memory to store the most frequently
used data. SRAM gives the processor faster access to the data
than retrieving it from the slower DRAM, or main memory.

The three types of cache memory are as follows:
 L1 is internal cache integrated into the CPU.
 L2 is external cache originally mounted on the motherboard
near the CPU.
 L2 cache is now integrated into the CPU.
 L3 is used on some high-end workstations and server CPUs.

Error Checking
Memory errors occur when the data is stored incorrectly in the
RAM chips. The computer uses different methods to detect and
correct data errors in memory. Three different methods of memory
error checking are as follows:
 Non-parity does not check for errors in memory.
 Parity contains 8 bits for data and 1 bit for error checking. The
error-checking bit is called a parity bit.
 Error Correction Code (ECC) can detect multiple bit errors in
memory and correct single bit errors in memory.

7. Adapter Cards - Adapter cards are used to expand and customize the
computer‟s capability
 NIC connects a computer to a network using a network cable.
 Wireless NIC connects a computer to a network using radio
frequencies.
 Sound adapter provides audio capability.
 Video adapter provides graphic capability.
 Modem adapter connects a computer to
the Internet using a phone line.
 SCSI adapter connects SCSI devices, such as hard drives or
tape drives, to a computer.
 RAID adapter connects multiple hard drives to a computer to
provide redundancy and to improve performance.
 USB port connects a computer to peripheral devices.
 Parallel port connects a computer to peripheral devices.
 Serial port connects a computer to peripheral devices.

The different types of expansion slots

 Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) is an 8-bit or 16-bit
expansion slot. This is older technology and is seldom used.
 Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) is a 32-bit
expansion slot. This is older technology and is seldom used.

 Micro channel Architecture (MCA) is an IBM-proprietary 32-
bit expansion slot. This is older technology and is seldom used.
 Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a 32-bit or 64-bit
expansion slot. PCI is the standard slot currently used in most
computers.
 Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) is a 32-bit expansion slot. AGP
is designed for video adapters.
 PCI-Express is a serial bus expansion slot. PCI-Express is
backward-compatible with PCI slots. PCI-Express has x1, x4,
x8, x16 slots.

8. Storage Drive – A storage drive reads or writes information to magnetic or

optical storage media. It can be used to store data permanently or to
retrieve information from a media disk. Storage drives can be installed
inside the computer case, such as a hard drive. For portability, some
storage drives can connect to the computer using a USB port, a FireWire
port, or a SCSI port.
Common types of storage drives
 Floppy drive - A floppy drive, or floppy disk drive, is a storage
device that uses removable 3.5-inch floppy disks. These
magnetic floppy disks can store 720 KB or 1.44 MB of data.
In a computer, the floppy drive is usually configured as the
A: drive. The floppy drive can be used to boot the computer if
it contains a bootable floppy disk. A 5.25-inch floppy drive is
older technology and is seldom used.
The floppy drive is slowly being replaced by cheaper, faster,
and larger-capacity storage such as writable CDs, DVDs, and
flash drive media.
 Hard drive - A hard drive, or hard-
disk drive, is a magnetic storage
device that is installed inside the
computer. The hard drive is used as
permanent storage for data. In a
computer, the hard drive is usually
configured as the C: drive and
contains the operating system and applications. The hard
drive is usually configured as the first drive in the boot
sequence. The storage capacity of a hard drive is measured
in billions of bytes, or gigabytes (GB). The speed of a hard
drive is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). Multiple
hard drives can be added to increase storage capacity.

 Optical drive - An optical drive is a
storage device that uses lasers to read
data on the optical media. Two types
of optical drives exist:
o Compact disc (CD)
o Digital versatile disc (DVD)
CD and DVD media can be prerecorded (read-only),
recordable (write once), or rerecord able (read and write
multiple times). CDs have a data storage capacity of
approximately 700 MB. DVDs have a data storage capacity of
approximately 8.5 GB on one side of the disc.
Several types of optical media exist:
o CD-ROM is CD read-only memory media that is
prerecorded.
o CD-R is CD recordable media that can be
recorded once.
o CD-RW is CD rewritable media that can be
recorded, erased, and rerecorded.
o DVD-ROM is DVD read-only memory media that
is prerecorded.
o DVD-RAM is DVD random-access memory media
that can be recorded, erased, and rerecorded.
o DVD+/-R is DVD recordable media that can be
recorded once.
o DVD+/-RW is DVD rewritable media that can be
recorded, erased, and rerecorded.
 Flash drive - A flash drive, also known as a thumb drive, is a
removable storage device that connects to a USB port. A
flash drive uses a special type of memory that requires no
power to maintain the data. These drives can be accessed by
the operating system in the same way other types of drives
are accessed.
The storage capacity of a flash drive varies from a couple of
megabytes to 16 gigabytes.
Types of Drive Interfaces
Hard drives and optical drives are manufactured with
different interfaces that are used to connect the drive to the
computer. When you install a storage drive in a computer,
the connection interface on the drive must be the same as
the controller on the motherboard. Some common drive
interfaces are as follows:

o Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), also called
Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA), is an
early drive controller interface that connects
computers and hard-disk drives. An IDE
interface uses a 40-pin connector.
o Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics
(EIDE), also called ATA-2, is an updated version
of the IDE drive controller interface. EIDE
supports hard drives larger than 512 MB,
enables Direct Memory Access (DMA) for speed,
and uses the AT Attachment Packet Interface
(ATAPI) to accommodate optical drives and tape
drives on the EIDE bus. An EIDE interface uses
a 40-pin connector.
o Parallel ATA (PATA) refers to the parallel
version of the ATA drive controller interface.
o Serial ATA (SATA) refers to the serial version of
the ATA drive controller interface. A SATA
interface uses a seven-pin connector.
o Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a
drive controller interface that can connect up to
15 drives. SCSI can connect both internal and
external drives. A SCSI interface uses a 50-pin,
68-pin, or 80-pin connector.
9. I/O ports – I/O ports on a computer connect peripheral devices, such as
printers, scanners, and portable drives.
 Serial - A serial port can be either a DB-9 or a DB-25 male
connector. Serial ports transmit 1 bit of data at a time. To
connect a serial device, such as a modem or printer, a serial
cable must be used.
 USB – The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard interface
that connects peripheral devices to a computer. It was
originally designed to replace serial and parallel connections.
USB devices are hot-swappable, which means that users can
connect and disconnect the devices while the computer is
powered on.
 FireWire – FireWire is a high-speed, hot-swappable
interface that connects peripheral devices to a computer. A
single FireWire port in a computer can support up to 63
devices. Some devices can also be powered through the
FireWire port, eliminating the need for an external power
source. FireWire uses the IEEE 1394 standard and is also
known as i.Link.

will find two kinds of holes: metalized and non-metalized. As the name

implies, the metalized holes have a metallic contact around them. Pay
close attention on Figure 6 to see the difference between these two kinds
of holes.
 Metalized versus non-metalized hole.

 Metalized holes are meant to be directly screwed. So, on these holes go

ahead and placea screw on them. But the non-metalized holes you
cannot screw them directly. You need to place a cardboard washer
between them and the screws. Actually, two washers are needed per hole,
one between the nut and the motherboard and another between the
motherboard and the screw, like a sandwich where the motherboard is
the stuffing.
 One of the most common mistakes while installing a motherboard is
using these washers on all holes. This cannot be done. The metalized
holes were metalized to make the proper grounding with the system case.
Actually, you probably won‟t find any non-metalized holes on
motherboards nowadays. And if you do, almost always they don‟t match
any hole on the chassis anyway. So, just leave these cartoon board
washers behind! Don‟t use them!
 Another very common – and dangerous-mistake is to use a foam sheet
(which is usually pink) that some motherboards come with between the
motherboard and the metallic plate. Some people believe that this foam
will prevent the motherboard form touching the metallic plate, avoiding a
short-circuit. This way thinking is completely wrong. First, if you install
all the nuts correctly and install a screw on all motherboard holes
possible, the motherboard will never touch the case‟s metallic plate. In
second place, if you install this foam sheet you will simply cut the
motherboard ventilation, which will lead to an overheating condition. The
space between the motherboard and the metallic plate is used to

 To install the CPU, lift the lever on the socket straight up to 90 degree
position. There are some pins missing from two corners of the Athlon
processor while only one corner is missing pins on the Pentium 4. The
notched corners should match the notch corners of the socket.

 Install the computer processor (CPU) inot the socket, taking care not to
bend any pins.
 The CPU should just drop into the socket without any resistance. This
socket is called a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket.

Install Computer Memory
It is now time to install your cheap computer memory (RAM)
 Memory modules come in different types such as 168-pin SDRAM. There
are now newer types of Computer Memory modules such as 184-pin DDR
which have faster access times.
 The SDRAM have two notches which makes installation „fool proof‟. The
DDR and have one notch so extreme care has to be taken when installing
these modules.
 Insert the module into an available expansion socket. Note how the
module is keyed to the socket. This ensures the module can be plugged
into the socket one way only. Firmly press the module is completely
seated in the socket. The ejector tabs at each of the socket will
automatically snap into the locked position. Repeat this procedure for
any additional modules you are installing.

 Carefully press the memory into the slot until it is securely locked in
place with the clips. (See diagram A below).

 Speaker (polarity required)

 Just install these wires to the connector with the same name on the
motherboard. On the wires we marked “polarity required” you will need to
match the positive (+) and negative (-) markings on the motherboard. The
white (or black) wire should be installed to the pin marked as negative (-) on
the board.
 Also, sometimes the connectors are colored, as it occurs in our example
on Figure 15, but the colors on the connectors rarely match the colors of the
wires. So, don‟t follow the color scheme from the motherboard for installing
the front panel wires.

Installing the I/O shield

 First, you need to prepare the case. If you pay

attention, the case has a rectangular opening
measuring 6.250 in x 1.750 in (15.87 cm x 4.44
cm) to accommodate the plugs available on the
back of the motherboard. This hole is covered
with a finishing that has smaller holes matching
the plugs available on the motherboard. You
need to check if the plugs on your motherboard
match the holes on this finishing.

motherboards will come with their own, and it‟s very easy to replace the
shield. Normally you just need to push in on the I/O shield until it pops
out and replace it with the new one. In some cases, you may need to pop
out a few covers that are still in the shield to accommodate your board.

Figure 1: I/O shield there are several plugs on the back of the motherboard.

Figure 2: I/O shield that came with our case from factory.

 In our case, the holes on the case didn‟t match the pattern of the plugs
available on our motherboard. So we needed to remove the finishing that
came with our case using a pliers and install a finishing that matched
our motherboard. Motherboards usually come with a case finishing that
match the pattern of its plugs. Cases usually come with a set of most
common finishing.

8. The installation now begins, and you can go and have lunch. Copying
the setup files from the DVD to the hard drive only takes about one
minute. However, extracting and uncompressing the files takes a good
deal longer. After 20 minutes, the operating system is installed. The
exact time it takes to install server core depends upon your hardware
specifications. Faster disks will perform much faster installs…
Windows Server 2008 takes up approximately 10 GB of hard drive
space.

The installation process will reboot your computer, so, if in step #10
you inserted a floppy disk (either real or virtual), make sure you
remove it before going to lunch, as you‟ll find the server hanged
without the ability to boot (you can bypass this by configuring the
server to boot from a CD/DVD and then from the hard disk in the
booting order on the server‟s BIOS)
9. Then the server reboots you‟ll be prompted with the new Windows
Server 2008 type of login screen. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in.

characters-long new password twice. A password like “topsecret” is
not valid (it‟s not complex), but one like “T0pSecreT!” sure is. Make
sure you remember it.

How to Install, Configure, and use Avast Antivirus

Introduction

An essential piece of software for every computer is an Anti-Virus. An Anti-

Virus protects your computer from many common viruses and trojans which
can be deadly for you system. Avast Anti-Virus Free Edition is very good and
effective FREE Anti-Virus.

Downloading/Installation

Please visit this link: http://www.avast.com/eng/down_home.html and

download the version that matches your language.

Once you have downloaded it locate the file that you just downloaded. The icon
should appear like the image below:

Date Developed: Document No.

You will get another window with the ReadMe File, just click Next, again.

Now you get the beloved Legal Agreement, just click I agree, and then
click Next to continue. You will now see an image similar to the one below:

Now if you selected "Minimal" you won't see "skins" here. After reviewing this
for a second and confirming that what you have on your screen is similar to
mine, click the Next button. (Note: the "Free Space" will vary from computer to
computer. Since I have about 170 Gigabytes free that is why my Free Space is
so large.)

After pressing Next, you will get the above message. Basically if you
select Yes it will do a quick scan of your hard drive upon boot-up. This scan
will start before you log-in into Windows. I recommend you select No, because
even though this scan will only happen once, this scan can take quiet a while.
It took almost an hour for my hard drive.

If you have Microsoft Anti-Spyware, or other similar program installed you may
be prompted with a similar message. Click the Allow button to allow this
change to take affect.

Now you have to restart your machine. I highly advise you to

select Restart and then click Finish.

After you restart you will get a message about Avast! it will give you the general
"Hello and Thank you for choosing our Product." Also after you restart you will
notice 2 new icons in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The icon with the I is for the "Virus Recovery Database" (VRDB). What this does
is virtually makes copies of the program you have installed and if one of them
gets infected with a virus this will replace the files infected so the program
function like before. The A is the On-Access Protection.

Very Important - after restarting, right click on the A in the taskbar and
select Updating, the highlight Program.

You will get this popup after its done updating. If Avast! had to download
anything for your computer you may get a message asking you to restart.

Configuring

Now right click on the A in taskbar and click Start Avast! AntiVirus.

Click Program Registration and you will be taken to their website. Fill out the
form and then check you e-mail. Once you get an e-mail from them (usualy
about 1 minute after submitting the form) copy and paste the serial they
provided into the highlighted box. Then click ok.

Now you will see this screen. Click the little hard drive like icon in the top right
corner, below the X.

Click each icon on the right once until the options in the center read:

 Scan local drives: ON

 Scan removeable media: ON
 Scan selected folders: ON
C:\

Date Developed: Document No.

Now click on the A on the middle left side and adjust the Resident Protection
from Standard to High.

Ok now to set-up and configure the On-Access Protection.

 Right click on the A on the taskbar

 Click On-Access Protection Control

I recomend changing the default slide from Normal to High, depending on how
fast your system is.

What makes Avast! unique is that it scans many parts of the system. It scans
Instant Messenging, Internet Mail, Network Shield, Outlook/Exchange, P2P
Shield, Standard Shield and Web Shield. So regardless of what you do on the
computer you will be protected no matter what.

After you Build Your Own Cheap Computer, you need to make a comprehensive
Post Assembly Check. You should check the following:

 All drive cables and power cables are properly connected.

 The CPU heat sink/fan is properly attached and connected to the
motherboard.
 Check to see that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.
 The Power Supply is properly connected to Motherboard.
 The 110/220V switch is set to the proper voltage for your country.
 Ensure that Video Card and Sound Card are properly installed in slots.
 No wires or cables are pinched between components.
 Ensure that there are no screws or metal parts stuck on the Motherboard
to cause a short-circuit.
 Ensure that the peripherals such as keyboard, mouse and monitor are
properly connected to computer and power source.

First Time System Boot Up:

 First Time System Boot Up:
 It is now the moment of truth! You are now ready to power up your
computer.
 Plug you‟re A/C power cord into a Surge Suppressor or, better yet, a UPS
backup system. A surge protector will protect your computer from power
surges.
 A UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) is a backup system which will
constantly provide power to your computer system and will also protect it
against surges, spikes and brown-outs. If you have a UPS, you do not
need a surge protector.
 1,2,3 …… Go! The power to your computer
is now on… You hear whirring sounds of
fans and see the blinking lights of the drives.
After all this, you also hear a single beep
and you should see a BIOS screen on the
Monitor.
 The term BIOS means Basic Input Output
System and is the software that has all the
instructions on how the operating system
should communicate with the hardware.
