About'
B":S software is stored on a non#*olatile ':! c(ip on t(e mot(erboard. "t is
specifically designed to work wit( eac( particular model of computer, interfacing wit(
*arious de*ices t(at make up t(e complementary c(ipset of t(e system. "n modern
computer systems, t(e B":S contents are stored on a flas( memory c(ip so t(at t(e
contents can be rewritten wit(out remo*ing t(e c(ip from t(e mot(erboard. )(is allows
B":S software to be easily upgraded to add new features or fi4 bugs, but can make t(e
computer *ulnerable to B":S root kits.
Purpose "
)(e fundamental purposes of t(e B":S are to initiali8e and test t(e system (ardware
components, and to load a boot loader or an operating system from a mass memory
de*ice. )(e B":S additionally pro*ides abstraction layer for t(e (ardware, i.e. a
consistent way for application programs and operating systems to interact wit( t(e
keyboard, display, and ot(er input0output de*ices. ;ariations in t(e system (ardware are
(idden by t(e B":S from programs t(at use B":S ser*ices instead of directly accessing
t(e (ardware. !odern operating systems ignore t(e abstraction layer pro*ided by t(e
B":S and access t(e (ardware components directly.

:ccasionally, a computer will need to (a*e its B":S updated. )(is is especially true of
older mac(ines. As new de*ices and standards arise, t(e B":S needs to c(ange in order to
understand t(e new (ardware. Since t(e B":S is stored in some form of ':!, c(anging
it is a bit (arder t(an upgrading most ot(er types of software.
)o c(ange t(e B":S itself, you@ll probably need a special program from t(e computer or

3ownload t(e upgrade and t(e utility program needed to install it. Sometimes t(e utility
and update are combined in a single file to download. &opy t(e program, along wit( t(e
B":S update, onto a floppy disk. 'estart your computer wit( t(e floppy disk in t(e dri*e,

About'
"n computing, a keyboard is a typewriter#style de*ice, w(ic( uses an arrangement of
buttons or keys, to act as mec(anical le*ers or electronic switc(es. 7ollowing t(e decline
of punc( cards and paper tape, interaction *ia teleprinter#style keyboards became t(e
main input de*ice for computers.
A keyboard typically (as c(aracters engra*ed or printed on t(e keys and eac( press of a
key typically corresponds to a single written symbol. Howe*er, to produce some symbols
requires pressing and (olding se*eral keys simultaneously or in sequence. ,(ile most
keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or signs >c(aracters?, ot(er keys or simultaneous
key presses can produce actions or e4ecute computer commands.
Purpose'
"n normal usage, t(e keyboard is used to type te4t and numbers into a word processor,
te4t editor or ot(er programs. "n a modern computer, t(e interpretation of key presses is
generally left to t(e software. A computer keyboard distinguis(es eac( p(ysical key from
e*ery ot(er and reports all key presses to t(e controlling software. Beyboards are also
used for computer gaming, eit(er wit( regular keyboards or by using keyboards wit(
special gaming features, w(ic( can e4pedite frequently used keystroke combinations. A
keyboard is also used to gi*e commands to t(e operating system of a computer, suc( as
,indows@ &ontrol#Alt#3elete combination, w(ic( brings up a task window or s(uts down
t(e mac(ine. A command#line interface is a type of user interface operated entirely
t(roug( a keyboard, or anot(er de*ice performing t(e function of one.
)(e keyboard is used by connecting to t(e computer into t(e keyboard port. Now days,
-SB keyboard is also coming so it is kind of plug and play kind of (ardware of t(e
computer. )(e setup of t(e keyboard is *ery as compare to computer internal (ardware.
Maintenance #Re$ular & emer$enc!&'
:t(er t(an t(e monitor, you will probably need to clean t(e keyboard more often t(an t(e
rest of t(e .&. 3ust and debris can collect between t(e keys can affect t(eir functioning.
)(e surface of t(e keyboard and keys can be wiped o*er wit( a clot( lig(tly dampened
wit( warm non#soapy water. Aou must a*oid getting t(e keyboard wet as it may cause
damage to t(e keyboard circuits.
)o gi*e t(e keyboard a t(oroug( clean or to do a close *isual inspection of t(e keyboard,
remo*e its co*er. By remo*ing t(e key caps of t(e # >minus?, K >plus?, and Enter keys in
t(e numeric keypad at t(e far#rig(t end of t(e keyboard, you can create a gap to remo*e
t(e debris from t(e keyboard.
Small non#static *acuum cleaners can be used to remo*e debris from t(e keyboard as
well as ot(er small parts of t(e .&. )(ese usually (a*e a small brus( (ead attac(ed wit( a
gooseneck t(at can be bent to pro*ide t(e best angle for cleaning. &ompressed#air can be
used to dislodge debris from inaccessible parts of t(e keyboard. 3islodged debris can
t(en be safely remo*ed by *acuum. +arge pieces of debris can be carefully remo*ed
using non#static brus(es, twee8ers or probes.
"f t(e keyboard (as (ad somet(ing spilled o*er it, you must act quickly to sa*e t(e
keyboard circuits from permanent damage. "f a spill occurs o*er t(e keyboard of a laptop
computer, t(e liquid may also penetrate t(roug( t(e keyboard to t(e case damaging ot(er
components of t(e computer. "t is ine4pensi*e to replace a keyboard but e4pensi*e to
repair or replace a laptop.
"n t(e e*ent of a spill, immediately disconnect t(e keyboard from t(e computer, or
disconnect t(e power from t(e laptop, and turn it upside down to pre*ent t(e liquid
penetrating any furt(er. ,ipe or swab out all areas you can reac(. A (airdryer can be used
to dry (ard#to#reac( areas, or lea*ing t(e keyboard upside down to dry o*ernig(t may
work. Ensure t(at t(e keyboard is completely dry before reconnecting it to t(e computer.
:nce you are satisfied t(at t(e keyboard is dry, reconnect and reboot t(e system,
obser*ing t(e .:S) for keyboard errors, and test t(e keyboard by pressing e*ery key and
*erifying its action. "f t(ere is still malfunction of t(e keys, you may need to replace t(e
keyboard
'egular prolonged use of t(e keyboard and mouse may result in some people de*eloping
,'-+3s suc( as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis so proper ad=ustment of
keyboard is t(e 'isk !anagement.

+. Ran)om Access Memor! har)ware
About'
'A! is a form of computer data storage. A random#access de*ice allows stored data to
be accessed directly in any random order. "n contrast, ot(er data storage media suc( as
(ard disks, &3s, 3;3s and magnetic tape, as well as early primary memory types suc(
as drum memory, read and write data only in a predetermined order, consecuti*ely,
because of mec(anical design limitations. )(erefore, t(e time to access a gi*en data
location *aries significantly depending on its p(ysical location.
Purpose'
)(e purpose of 'A! is to store temporarily programs and data t(at are currently being
used. "n t(is way, t(e processor is able to access t(e data fast. 'A! is a*ailable in
multiples of 1M, for e4ample 1M!B, 5$!B or 1$G !B.
)(e purpose of 'A! is to pro*ide a large area of memory w(ere programs t(at are being
run can be stored. "t also allows data to be cac(ed w(ile it is waiting to be processed or
sa*ed to t(e (ard dri*e.
)(e purpose of 'A!, or 'andom Access !emory, is to gi*e t(e computer a place to
store data temporarily. ,(en computer programs run t(ey need to be able to constantly
access data. )o speed up t(e process t(e needed data is stored in t(e 'A! modules,
w(ic( will clear w(en t(e program is terminated or t(e computer is turned off.
'ead access memory >'A!? considers an important part in se*eral systems
Suc( as computer and communication systems9 and t(ere is se*eral applications software
t(at used for implements t(e digital circuits of 'A!. "n t(is pro=ect, multisim F
application software was used to implement and simulate se*eral logic circuits of 'A!
wit( many si8es at w(ic( implement 'A! circuit from sub 'A!. Also, it may be
prepared as apart of equipments for t(e airborne computer system.
Ris Mana$ement & Contin$enc! Plan'
)(e performance of a 'A! dri*e is in general orders of magnitude faster t(an ot(er
forms of storage media, suc( as an SS3, (ard dri*e, tape dri*e, or optical dri*e.H1I )(is
performance gain is due to multiple factors, including access time, ma4imum t(roug(put
and type of file system, as well as ot(ers.
7ile access time is greatly decreased since a 'A! dri*e is solid state >no mec(anical
parts?. A p(ysical (ard dri*e or optical media, suc( as &3#':!, 3;3, and Blu#ray must
mo*e a (ead or optical eye into position and tape dri*es must wind or rewind to a
particular position on t(e media before reading or writing can occur. 'A! dri*es can
access data wit( only t(e memory address of a gi*en file, wit( no mo*ement, alignment
or positioning necessary.
Second, t(e ma4imum t(roug(put of a 'A! dri*e is limited by t(e speed of t(e 'A!,
t(e data bus, and t(e &.- of t(e computer. :t(er forms of storage media are furt(er
limited by t(e speed of t(e storage bus, suc( as "3E >.A)A?, SA)A, -SB or 7irewire.
&ompounding t(is limitation is t(e speed of t(e actual mec(anics of t(e dri*e motors,
(eads and0or eyes.
)(ird, t(e file system in use, suc( as N)7S, H7S, -7S, e4t$, etc., uses e4tra accesses,
reads and writes to t(e dri*e, w(ic( alt(oug( small, can add up quickly, especially in t(e
e*ent of many small files *s. few larger files >temporary internet folders, web cac(es,
etc.?.
Because t(e storage is in 'A!, it is *olatile memory, w(ic( means it will be lost in t(e
e*ent of power loss, w(et(er intentional >computer reboot or s(utdown? or accidental
>power failure or system cras(?. )(is is, in general, a weakness >t(e data must
periodically be backed up to a persistent#storage medium to a*oid loss?, but is sometimes
desirable for e4ample, w(en working wit( a decrypted copy of an encrypted file.

About'
A local area network >+AN? is a computer network t(at interconnects computers in a
limited area suc( as a (ome, sc(ool, computer laboratory, or office building using
network media. )(e defining c(aracteristics of +ANs, in contrast to wide area networks
>,ANs?, include t(eir smaller geograp(ic area, and non#inclusion of leased
telecommunication lines.Hcitation neededI A'&NE), )oken 'ing and ot(er tec(nology
standards (a*e been used in t(e past, but Et(ernet o*er twisted pair cabling, and ,i#7i
are t(e two most common tec(nologies currently used to build +ANs.
)(e increasing demand and use of computers in uni*ersities and researc( labs in t(e late
1FM%s generated t(e need to pro*ide (ig(#speed interconnections between computer

Purpose'
)(e purpose being to allow users to connect t(eir computers to a common ser*er or
ser*ers. Ser*ers are =ust central computers to a network. Ser*ers contain data t(at could
be of *arying types. )(ere@d data t(at are numbers for e4ample accounting data an

also be used by t(e marketing department on a pro=ect in*ol*ing t(e use of sound. :r it
could be simply words0documents t(at people need to s(are amongst managers of t(e

software0programs e*eryone can see t(e results in real time. )(at is per(aps one of t(e
most powerful aspects of a centrali8ed ser*er t(at e*eryone is accessing at t(e same time
from t(eir computers at t(eir desks or e*en from t(eir (ome. Aes accessing a +AN from
(ome is possible too. Accessing a +AN is possible t(ese days from nearly anyw(ere a
person can get a cell p(one signal since t(ere are now cards t(at you can insert into your
computer and access t(e internet w(ic( mig(t also (a*e t(e +AN connected to it. So e*en
t(oug( t(e title is +AN it isn@t necessarily all t(at +ocal. " t(ink you get t(e idea now of
t(e purpose of a +AN. )(e safety aspect is great for a +AN also as t(e Network !anager
is usually in c(arge of backing up all t(e data. )(ese assure t(at all t(e work t(at
e*eryone does won2t be lost s(ould t(e ser*er cras( or get (acked or some ot(er disasters

,ireless communications allows us to li*e and work in ways ne*er before possible,
offering us fle4ibility, mobility and a link to our en*ironment t(at is almost magical.
Anybody t(at uses cordless or cellular p(ones, pagers, ); remote controls, keyless car

networking (a*e *astly increased our options on (ow and w(at we communicate, t(ey
(a*e p(ysically constrained us by leas(ing us wit( a p(ysical wire to t(e network. But
wireless communications brings us back to a form of communications t(at is in(erently
natural to us. As creatures we do not like to be p(ysically constrained. Human speec(
itself, despite its limited range, is wireless.
&onnecting computers to networks significantly increases risk. Networks connect large
numbers of users to s(are information and resources, but network security depends
(ea*ily on t(e cooperation of eac( user. Security is as strong as t(e weakest link. Studies
(a*e s(own t(at most of t(e abuses and frauds are carried out by aut(ori8ed users, not
outsiders. As t(e number of +ANs and ,ANs increase, cost#effecti*e security becomes a
muc( more significant issue to deter fraud, waste, and abuse and to a*oid embarrassment.
,(at t(eir security concerns s(ould be, and (ow to resol*e t(eir concerns. ,e will begin
by introducing t(e concept of risk management and touc( on basic requirements for
protecting +ANs. )(is will be followed by a summary of +AN components and features

)(e speed of your network affects nearly e*ery de*ice on your (ome network, w(et(er it

+. -us Topolo$!
About'
A bus network uses a multi#drop transmission medium, all node on t(e network s(are a
common bus and t(us s(are communication. )(is allows only one de*ice to transmit at a
time. A distributed access protocol determines w(ic( station is to transmit. 3ata frames
contain source and destination addresses, w(ere eac( station monitors t(e bus and copies
frames addressed to itself.
A bus topology connects eac( computer >nodes? to a single segment trunk >a
communication line, typically coa4 cable t(at is referred to as t(e @bus@. )(e signal tra*els
from one end of t(e bus to t(e ot(er. A terminator is required at eac( to absorb t(e signal
so as it does not reflect back across t(e bus. A media access met(od called &S!A0!A is
used to (andle t(e collisions t(at occur w(en two signals placed on t(e wire at t(e same
time. )(e bus topology is passi*e. "n ot(er words, t(e computers on t(e bus simply @listen@
for a signal9 t(ey are not responsible for mo*ing t(e signal along.
Purpose'
)(e bus topology is one of t(e four main topology types for networking. "t allows
systems to be connected in a straig(t line wit(out any ot(er network connecti*ity de*ices.
As a result, it is easy to construct and needs *ery little in t(e way of configuration, and is
ine4pensi*e compared to ot(er topologies. )(e main result of any topology is to connect
clients toget(er in order to s(are resources.
)(e bus is t(e data link in a bus network. )(e bus can only transmit data in one direction,
and if any network segment is se*ered, all network transmission ceases.
A (ost on a bus network is called a station or workstation. "n a bus network, e*ery station
recei*es all network traffic, and t(e traffic generated by eac( station (as equal
transmission priority. Eac( network segment is, t(erefore, a collision domain. "n order for
nodes to transmit on t(e same cable simultaneously, t(ey use a media access control
tec(nology suc( as carrier sense multiple access >&S!A? or a bus master.
All workstations connect to t(e same cable segment commonly used for implementing
Et(ernet at 1%mbps t(e cable is terminated at eac( end wiring is normally done point to
point a faulty cable or workstation will take t(e entire +AN down two wire, generally
implemented using coa4ial cable during t(e 1FG%@s.
)(e bus cable carries t(e transmitted message along t(e cable. As t(e message arri*es at
eac( workstation, t(e workstation computer c(ecks t(e destination address contained in
t(e message to see if it matc(es its own. "f t(e address does not matc(, t(e workstation
does not(ing more.
"f t(e workstations address matc(es t(at contained in t(e message, t(e workstation
processes t(e message. )(e message is transmitted along t(e cable and is *isible to all
computers connected to t(at cable.
