3. Experiment No. 1
Aim: Various components, Peripherals of Computer and their functions
A computer made up of two main parts – Computer Software and Hardware.
 Computer Software
Computer software (often called just software) is untouchable components of computer. It compiles
all logic instructions that the system uses to do different tasks, including the applications (game or
a word processor) and the operating system(Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, etc.).
Types of Software
There are two types a software on the basis of their functionality – System software and Application
software.
System Software
It is used to start and run computer systems and networks. It controls the operations and/or extends
the processing capability of a computer system. Some commonly known types of system software
are: (Operating systems, programming language translator, communications software, utility
programs).
Application Software
It is the set of one or more programs, which solve specific problems, or specific tasks. Some
commonly known application software is: (Word processing software, Database software, Personal
assistance software, etc.).
 Computer Hardware
Computer hardware (usually simply called hardware) every physical part (touchable) of computer
such as the I/O Card, Memory, Motherboard, Power Supply, Screen. Etc.
Basic hardware components of a modern personal computer
There are many basic components of modern personal computer hardware; some of these are
described below.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the main component of a computer. It is a hard, plastic film that contains every
electronic circuit and connection where all the devices (like the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives,
power supply etc.) are switched.

4. I/O Devices
Input devices allow the user to enter information into the system, or control its operation. For
example: keyboard, mouse, microphone, scanner, etc. On other hand, output devices display
information in a human readable form. Such devices could include printers, speakers, monitors, etc.
I/O Peripheral Devices
I/O Peripheral used by processor to give information to user and vice versa. For example: router,
touchable screen, etc.
Computer’s Memory
There are two types of memory, volatile (RAM) or non-volatile (ROM).
Random Access Memory (RAM)
A computer’s main memory uses volatile RAM chips. RAM chips are of two types - dynamic and
static. Dynamic RAM (DRAM) uses an external circuitry to periodically “regenerate” or refresh
storage charge to retain storage data. On other hand, Static RAM (SRAM) does not need any special
regenerator circuit to retain the stored data.
Read Only Memory (ROM)
It is a non-volatile memory chips in which data is stored permanently. There are two types of ROM –
Manufacturer programmed and User programmed. Manufacturer-programmed ROM is one
which data is burnt in by the manufacturer of the electronic equipment in which it used. On other
hand, User programmed ROM is one which a user can loud and store “read-only” program and data.

Aim: Installation of Operating System
To install the Operating System (windows 7)
Step 1: Backup your files. The installation process will delete all data on your hard drive. It is
recommended that you back up all files you want to keep before installing a new operating system.
You can back up your files to another hard drive, an external hard drive, a flash drive, or a cloud-
based service like Google Drive, or Dropbox.
Step 2: Restart your computer. Press the power button on your computer and then click Restart in the
power options menu.
Step 3: Immediately press Del, Esc, F2, F10, or F9 when it restarts. Depending on the make and
model of your computer, pressing one of these buttons immediately after you power on your
computer will enter the system BIOS.
Some computers tell you which button to press to enter the BIOS as the computer starts up.
Step 4: Find your BIOS's boot options menu. The boot options menu of your BIOS may vary in
location or name from the illustration, but you may eventually find it if you search around.
If you can't find the boot options menu, search the name of your BIOS (most likely located in
the BIOS menu) online for help.
Step 5: Select the optical disk drive as the first boot device of your computer. Although this method
may vary among computers, the boot options menu is typically a menu of movable device names
where you should set your CD, DVD or Blu-ray drive as the first boot device. It can also be a list of
devices that you can set the order of their boot on. Consult a manual or the internet for help if you're
stuck.
Step 6: Place the Windows 7 Installation disc in the disc drive. Press the button on your CD, DVD, or
Blu-ray drive. Then place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disk tray and push it back in the
