INSTALLING KEYBOARD
INSTALLING THE MOUSE
INSTALLING THE MONITOR
INSTALLING THE SPEAKER
INSTALLING THE WEB CAM
INSTALLING THE PRINTER

Make sure to read the instruction
manual of your keyboard first.
INSTALLING THE
KEYBOARD
Check whether the keyboard has a
USB (flat, rectangular shape) or PS/
2 (typically round and purple
colored) connector
Install the keyboard by connecting
it to its proper port.
Do not install the keyboard while the
computer is powered on. Do not
remove the keyboard while the
computer is running.

The process to installing
this device is like that of
the keyboard. Check
whether your mouse is
using a PS/2 Connector,
or a USB connector then
connect it to its proper
port.
INSTALLING THE
MOUSE

Identify the connection type that will
connect the monitor to
the motherboard or the graphics
card.
INSTALLING THE
MONITOR
A DVI, VGA, or HDMI are common
ports in the monitor and used to
produce best picture qualities.
Once the display is plugged to its
proper connector on the video card
or the motherboard, the display is
ready. Most of the time, drivers are
not required but it should be
downloaded to utilize a maximum
resolution.

Common webcams can be simply
plugged into the USB port, and you
will be prompted to install their
drivers. Some webcams would
need to have its driver installed first.
Make sure to read the
manufacturer’s instruction manual
first.
INSTALLING THE
WEB CAM

1. Make sure to have the
printer and power cable.
2. Connect the printer
connector to the unit.
3. Insert the ink or toner
cartridge to the printer.
4. Turn the printer on.
5. Power the computer.
6. Start the Printer Install
Wizard.
7. Follow the instructions to
install the Printer Driver.
8. Run a test print to check if
the printer is installed
correctly.

CONFIGURING BIOS
UNDERSTANDING THE
BIOS
CONFIGURING THE BIOS
CREATING A BOOTABLE
DEVICE

UNDERSTANDING THE BIOS
The BIOS is a software usually built onto the motherboard that show
s the major hardware components of your computer with the opera
ting system.
It is usually stored on a Flash memory chip on the motherboard, but
sometimes the chip is another type of ROM.
When you turn on your computer, the BIOS does several things. Th
e sequence is as follows:
1. Check the CMOS Setup for custom settings
2. Load the interrupt handlers and device drivers
3. Initialize registers and power management
4. Perform the power-on self-test (POST)
5. Display system settings
6. Determine which devices are bootable
7. Initiate the bootstrap sequence

Running the BIOS
Upon turning the computer on, press the keys that would run Setup.
On most computers, it would be keys: ESC, DEL, F1, F2, F12, Ctrl-Esc, or
Ctrl-Alt-Esc to enter setup. There is usually a line of text at the botto
m of the display that tells you "Press ___ to Enter Setup."
BIOS setup would depend on the motherboard manufacturer. Howe
ver, these are the common, standard options you may see in the BI
OS setup:
1. If you would like to boot from a certain device, say a USB Flash D
rive to install an Operating System (which we will demonstrate l
ater), click advanced set-up and look for the first, second, and t
hird boot device.
2. Select first boot device. By default, it would be the hard drive on
the installed computer.
3. Make sure to choose "Save Changes" when you are changing se
ttings in the BIOS. Afterwards, this will restart the computer, so th
e new settings take effect.

• System Time/Date - Set the system time and date
• Boot Sequence - The order that BIOS will try to load the
operating system
• Plug and Play - A standard for auto-detecting connect
ed devices; should be set to "Yes" if your computer and
operating system both support it
• Mouse/Keyboard - "Enable Num Lock," "Enable the Keyb
oard," "Auto-Detect Mouse"...
• Drive Configuration - Configure hard drives, CD-ROM a
nd floppy drives
• Memory - Direct the BIOS to shadow to a specific mem
ory address
• Security - Set a password for accessing the computer
• <p
• Exit - Save your changes, discard your changes or resto
re default settings

CREATING BOOTABLE DEVICE
WHY IS BOOTING REQUIRED?
• Hardware doesn’t know where the operating system resides and how to
load it.
• Need a special program to do this job – Bootstrap loader.
(e.g. BIOS – Boot Input Output System)
• Bootstrap loader locates the kernel, loads it into main memory and starts
its execution.
• In some systems, a simple bootstrap loader fetches a more complex boot
program from disk, which in turn loads the kernel.

CREATING BOOTABLE DEVICE
• Booting is a startup sequence that launches the operating system of a computer when it
is turned on.
• A boot sequence is the initial set of operations that the computer performs when it is
switched on. Every computer has a boot sequence.
• A boot device is any device or drive that has the required boot files that allows the
computer to start.
• A boot drive commonly used is the hard drive. Usually, an operating system like
Microsoft Windows is installed in a hard drive to load Windows.

DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEM
The three most popular operating systems
are Windows, MAC, and Linux.
•Windows is the dominant over the other two.
90% of computer users use Windows
operating system.
•Windows and MAC are expensive operating
systems however, MAC OS requires the users
to buy the MAC systems (Macbook, Mac) built
by Apple.
•On the other hand, Linux is a free operating
system.

DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEM
The three most popular operating
systems are Windows, MAC,
and Linux.
•Windows and MAC have similar file structures
while Linux has a different code base (single file
tree compared to Windows and MAC's many
directories)
•Windows interface has a Start menu, Taskbar,
System Tray, and the Windows Explore while Linux
has easy to switch interfaces.
•Linux is most preferred by programmers, MAC is
preferred by graphic artists, and Windows is
perferred by gamers.

INSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM

COMMON OPERATING SYSTEM

INSTALLING DEVICE DRIVERS
Drivers – small software programs that help the operating system use the device.
When a device is malfunctioning, one should ask whether the right driver has been
installed.
There are several ways to install device drivers for your newly installed
components:
1. Manufacturer’s DVD Installer – Provided
upon buying a computer, laptop, device

Drivers – small software programs that help the operating system use the device. When a
device is malfunctioning, one should ask whether the right driver has been installed.
There are several ways to install device drivers for your newly installed components:
2. Driverpack Solution – A free tool which
automatically finds proper drivers for a
computer, then downloads and installs it
without wizards or installation prompts.

3. Device Manager (Driver Update) – Can be
accessed by clicking Start > Computer > Manage
> Device Manager. From here, each component
can have the option to install a driver through a
CD or through searching automatically online.

4. Download Online –
Look for unit’s Model
Name and Number

CHECKING DEVICE DRIVERS'
INSTALLATION
After installation, you would want to see if you've installed the correct device drivers to
avoid any issues that may hinder the component from running in its full performance.
In this simple procedure, we are looking if there, drivers are already installed. If the
device driver is installed, updating it through the device manager would prompt to
say that the drivers are installed.
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Select System and Security.
3. Click System and select Device Manager from the left side.
4. Click “Monitor” and you will see that a genetic monitor is
installed.

INSTALLING SOFTWARE
Software is basically the instructions and programs that tells the computer to run different
tasks.
It can be categorized into system or OS, application, and programming.
• System/Operating System - tells the CPU what to do. The most common types of
operating systems are MS DOS Windows, MAC OS, and Corel Linux.
• Application - assigned to perform specific functions / tasks on the computer.
• Programming - it is development of various sets of instructions for a computer to do a task.
Different programming languages can be used to carry out a certain task and to let the
computer operate smoothly.

ESTABLISHING INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE

FILE SYSTEM TYPES AND
FORMATTING
File System – A program
used by the operating
system to organize data
or application files. The
type of file system is
used to determine how
data and programs will
be accessed. In addition
to that, it can also
control what data or
programs will be
available to users.
Types of File System
1. FAT File System
File Allocation Table Type allows the operating system to look for
files on a disk.
2. FAT32 File System
More advanced version of the FAT File System. It can partition size
as well as access speed. Because of this, FAT32 allows users to have
better disk space utilization.
3. ExFAT
Stands for Extended File Allocation Table. A file system type that can
be used for memory sticks and SD cards.
4. NTFS File System
New Technology File System. Compared to FAT and FAT32, NTFS has
a much bigger partition and file size. It is a highly reliable file system
type because it is recoverable. It also has fault tolerance which
means that logged transactions can be used to recover data.

FORMATTING
Follow the guidelines to format the file system in a storage.
1. By default, formatting is set to FAT.
– If you try to format an internal hard disk that is smaller than 32 GB, you will see the options for
NTFS, FAT and FAT32.
– If you try to format an internal hard disk that is larger than 32 GB, you will only see the option
for NTFS.
– If you try to format an external USB device smaller than 32 GB, you will see all the options.
– If you try to format and external USB device larger than 32 GB, you will only see NTFS and
exFAT.
2. Devices smaller than 32 GB should be formatted in FAT or FAT32 for more reliability and less
disk space wastage.
3. Files larger than 32GB should be formatted in exFAT for latest operating systems.
4. For other compatible devices and other operating systems, files larger than 32 GB should be
formatted using NFTS.

FORMATTING
The following are the most common file formats that you will encounter when
working in a computer.

CONDUCTING TEST
TOPIC 1: Software Tools/Disk Management Tools
The following are different disk management tools and procedures that can optimize a
PC to its full performance as well as check errors/issues along the way.
fDisk
A command-line tool that
creates and deletes partitions
on a hard drive. It is available
from Windows 2002 onwards.
For newer units (from Windows
XP onwards) the disk
management tool is used.

CONDUCTING TEST
Disk Management Tool
This is used to manage disks and
drives (like internal and external
hard drives), create partitions,
and format devices. This is used
on newer versions of Microsoft
Windows.

CONDUCTING TEST
Format
It is the process of preparing a
data storage device (i.e. hard
drive, USB drive, solid-state drive)
to store information.

CONDUCTING TEST
ScanDisk or CHKDSK
Used to check integrity of files
and folders in your unit. This can
also be used to check the disk
surface for physical errors.

CONDUCTING TEST
Defrag
It optimizes space on hard drive and
allow faster access to programs and
data.

CONDUCTING TEST
Disk Cleanup
A software utility for Windows that lets
users remove files and speed up
computer performance.

CONDUCTING TEST
System File Checker (SFC)
A tool in Microsoft Windows that allows
users to scan and restore corrupt
Windows system files. This is available
in Windows 98 and later.

TESTING PROCEDURE
This is the basic testing procedure you will
follow throughout.
1.Gathering test information.
