procedures on any hardware and software settings that may be required.
Failure to do the proper jumper setting may cause damage to your CPU.
Without an effective cooling fan, the CPU can overheat and cause damage
to both CPU and the motherboard.
Each bank must have the same size and type of memory installed in pairs.
EFFECTS OF COMPUTERS
Some effects of computers relating to the violation of privacy, the impact on
the labor force, health risks, and the impact on the environment.
1. Violation of Privacy
Nearly every life event is stored in a computer somewhere--in medical records,
credit reports, tax records, etc. It is crucial that personal and confidential records
be protected properly. In many instances, where these records were not properly
protected, individuals have found their privacy violated and identities stolen.
2. Impact on Labor Force
Although computers have improved productivity in many ways and created an
entire industry with hundreds of thousands of new jobs, the skills of millions of
workers and managers have been replaced by computers. Thus, it is crucial that
workers keep their education up-to-date. A separate impact on the labor force is
that some companies are outsourcing jobs to foreign countries instead of keeping
their homeland labor force employed.

Are you the person everyone calls when they have a computer problem? Have
you considered getting paid for fixing near-fatal errors and turning your PC
prowess into a business? According a recent report, sales of computer services
are expected to exceed $47 billion this year in the U.S. alone, with PC repair
leading the way. But there are some requirements that you need to know before
joining the bandwagon of Computer Hardware Servicing trade, like
document/forms (e.g. Job Orders, Request Forms, and Report Sheets) and
qualifications for personnel in repairing computers.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS/FORMS:
A. Job Order
A Job order (known as works order outside of the United States because
the work is produced in a manufacturing area known as the works) or job
order (sometimes job ticket or work ticket, as it often has some type of ticket
attached) is an order received by an organization from a customer or client, or
an order created internally within the organization. A work order may be for
products or services.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system
and may also include accounting for cost allocation of processor time, mass
storage, printing, and other resources.
For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the
operating system acts as an intermediary between application programs and the
computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly
by the hardware and will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be
interrupted by it. Operating systems are found on almost any device that
contains a computer from cellular phones and video game consoles to
supercomputers and web servers.
Multi-user
Distributed
Embedded
Server editions of Windows are widely used. In recent years, Microsoft has
expended significant capital in an effort to promote the use of Windows as a
server operating environment. However, Windows' usage on servers is not as
widespread as on personal computers, as Windows competes against Linux and
BSD for server market share.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT:
Basic Hardware Components of Computer System
Today, almost everyone in our information society has a basic
understanding of what a computer is and what it can do. A contemporary
computer system consists of a central processing unit, primary storage,
secondary storage, input devices, output devices, and communications devices
that work together with software to perform calculations, organize data, and
communicate with other computers.
A computer is an electronic machine, operating under the control of instructions
stored in its own memory, that can be programmed to accept data (input),
process it into useful information (output), and store it away in a secondary

RAM
An expansion slot is a
socket on the motherboard
that can hold an adapter
card. An adapter card,
also called expansion card,
is a circuit board that
enhances functions of a
component of the system
unit and/or provides
connections to
peripherals. A peripheral
is a device that connects to
the system unit and is
controlled by the processor
in the computer. Examples An adapter card being inserted in an expansion slot
of peripherals are
modems, disk drives, printers, scanners, and keyboards. The adapter cards
contain the electronic circuitry for many supplemental capabilities, such as more
memory, higher-quality sound devices, a modem, extra ports, or graphics
Two basic types of buses are found in a computer: a system bus and an
expansion bus. A system bus is part of the motherboard and connects the CPU
to main memory. An expansion bus allows the CPU to communicate with
peripheral devices. Data transmitted to the CPU travels from the expansion bus
and the system bus. When computer professionals use the term bus by itself,
they usually are referring to the system bus. Since the types of expansion buses
on a motherboard determine the types of expansion cards you can add, you
should understand the expansion buses commonly found in today's personal
computers:

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. Identify the different tools and equipment used in computer systems
and networks
2. Determine the different use and functions of these tools and equipment
One important thing to consider before executing a well-planned computer
installation is that one must be knowledgeable in the different tools and
equipment used in computer systems and networks. Furthermore, the idea on
how these tools and equipment are properly used is another important
consideration in installing computer systems.
