LESSON 1: BASIC PARTS OF THE COMPUTER
T he basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case, monitor, key-
board, mouse, and power cord. Each part plays an important role whenever
you use a computer.
COMPUTER CASE
The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main com-
ponents of the computer, including the motherboard, central processing unit
(CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has an On/Off button
and one or more optical drives.
Computer cases come in different shapes and sizes. A desktop case lies flat
on a desk, and the monitor usually sits on top of it. A tower case is tall and
sits next to the monitor or on the floor. All-in-one computers come with the
internal components built into the monitor, which eliminates the need for a
separate case.
MONITOR
The monitor works with a video card, located inside the computer case, to
display images and text on the screen. Most monitors have control buttons
that allow you to change your monitor’s display settings, and some monitors
also have built-in speakers.
Newer monitors usually have LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light-emit-
ting diode) displays. These can be made very thin, and they are often called
flat-panel displays. Older monitors use CRT (cathode ray tube) displays. CRT
monitors are much larger and heavier, and they take up more desk space.

LESSON 1: BASIC PARTS OF THE COMPUTER
KEYBOARD
The keyboard is one of the main ways to communicate with a computer.

There are many different types of keyboards, but most are very similar and
allow you to accomplish the same basic tasks.
MOUSE
The mouse is another important tool for communicating with computers.

Commonly known as a pointing device, it lets you point to objects on the
screen, click on them, and move them.
There are two main mouse types: optical and mechanical. The optical mouse
uses an electronic eye to detect movement and is easier to clean. The mechan-
ical mouse uses a rolling ball to detect movement and requires regular clean-
ing to work properly.
AVR
An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is a electronic device for automatically
maintaining generator output terminal voltage at a set value under varying
load and operating temperature. It controls output by sensing the voltage
Vout at a power-generating coil and comparing it to a stable reference.

LESSON 2: INPUT DEVICES

An input device is essentially a piece of hardware that sends data to a computer. Most input devices
either interact with or control the computer in some way. The most common input devices are the
mouse and the keyboard, but there are many others. The key distinction between an input device and
an output device is that the former sends data to the computer, whereas the latter receives data from
the computer. Input and output devices that provide computers with additional functionality are also
called peripheral or auxiliary devices.
The following are some of the important input devices which are used in a computer :
Keyboard
Mouse
Scanner
Microphone
Joy Stick
Light pen
Track Ball
Graphic Tablet
Magnetic Ink Card Reader(MICR)
Optical Character Reader(OCR)
Bar Code Reader
Optical Mark Reader(OMR)
JOY STICK
Joystick is also a pointing device, which is used to move the cursor position
on a monitor screen. It is a stick having a spherical ball at its both lower and
upper ends. The lower spherical ball moves in a socket. The joystick can be
moved in all four directions.
LIGHT PEN
Light pen is a pointing device similar to a pen. It is used to select a displayed
menu item or draw pictures on the monitor screen. It consists of a photocell
and an optical system placed in a small tube.
OPTICAL MARK READER (OMR)

OMR is a special type of optical scanner used to recognize the type of mark
made by pen or pencil. It is used where one out of a few alternatives is to be
selected and marked. It is specially used for checking the answer sheets of exami-
nations having multiple choice questions.

LESSON 2: INPUT DEVICES

TRACK BALL
Track ball is an input device that is mostly used in notebook or laptop computer,
instead of a mouse. This is a ball which is half inserted and by moving fingers on
the ball, the pointer can be moved.
DIGITIZER
Digitizer is an input device which converts analog information into digital form.
Digitizer can convert a signal from the television or camera into a series of num-
bers that could be stored in a computer. They can be used by the computer to
create a picture of whatever the camera had been pointed at.
MICROPHONE
Microphone is an input device to input sound that is then stored in a digital
form. The microphone is used for various applications such as adding sound to a
multimedia presentation or for mixing music.
MAGNETIC INK CARD READER (MICR)

MICR input device is generally used in banks as there are large number of
cheques to be processed every day. The bank’s code number and cheque number
are printed on the cheques with a special type of ink that contains particles of
magnetic material that are machine readable.
OPTICAL CHARACTER READER (OCR)

OCR is an input device used to read a printed text. OCR scans the text optically,
character by character, converts them into a machine readable code, and stores
the text on the system memory.
BAR CODE READER

Bar Code Reader is a device used for reading bar coded data (data in the form of
light and dark lines). Bar coded data is generally used in labelling goods, num-
bering the books, etc. It may be a handheld scanner or may be embedded in a
stationary scanner.

LESSON 3: OUTPUT DEVICES

Computer output devices receive information from the computer, and carry data that has been pro-
cessed by the computer to the user. Output devices provide data in myriad different forms, some
of which include audio, visual, and hard copy media. The devices are usually used for display, pro-
jection, or for physical reproduction. Monitors and printers are two of the most commonly-known
output devices used with a computer.
MONITOR
This is the most common computer output device. It creates a visual display
by the use of which users can view processed data. Monitors come in various
sizes and resolutions.
COMMON TYPES OF MONITOR

Cathode Ray Tube – this uses phosphorescent dots to generate the
pixels that constitute displayed images.
Flat Panel Screen – this makes use of liquid crystals or plasma to pro-
duce output. Light is passed through the liquid crystals in order to gener-
ate pixels.
PRINTER
This device generates a hard copy version of processed data, like documents
and photographs. The computer transmits the image data to the printer,
which then physically recreates the image, typically on paper.
TYPES OF PRINTERS
Ink Jet – this kind of printer sprays tiny dots of ink onto a surface to form an image.
Laser – this type utilises toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment, and then transfers the
pigment onto a surface.
Dot Matrix – dot matrix printers utilise a print head to set images on a surface, using an ink ribbon.
SPEAKERS
Speakers are attached to computers to facilitate the output of sound; sound
cards are required in the computer for speakers to function. The different
kinds of speakers range from simple, two-speaker output devices right the
way up to surround-sound multi-channel units.

ers, and is also a great tool for communicating with family and friends over
the internet using some VOIP program or other.
PROJECTOR
This is a display device that projects a computer-created image onto another
surface: usually some sort of whiteboard or wall. The computer transmits the
image data to its video card, which then sends the video image to the projec-
tor. It is most often used for presentations, or for viewing videos.
PLOTTER
This is a display device that projects a computer-created image onto another
surface: usually some sort of whiteboard or wall. The computer transmits the
image data to its video card, which then sends the video image to the projec-
tor. It is most often used for presentations, or for viewing videos.

LESSON 3: SETTING UP A COMPUTER

You have a new computer and are ready to set it up. While this may seem like an overwhelming and
difficult task, it is really very simple. It does not matter what name brand of computer you have, as most
computers are set up in a very similar way.
If you are setting up a newly purchased computer that is still in the box, you will probably find a how-to
guide in the packaging that includes step-by-step details. However, even if it didn’t include instructions,
you can still set up the computer in just a few easy steps. In this lesson, we’ll go through the different steps
that are needed to set up a typical computer.
SETTING UP A DESKTOP COMPUTER
STEP 1
Unpack the monitor and computer case from the box.

Remove any plastic covering or protective tape. Place the
monitor and the computer case where you wish on the
desk or work area.
Think about where you want your desk or work area to

be located, and where you want your monitor, computer
case, and other hardware. Be sure to place your computer
case in an area that is well ventilated and that has good air flow. This will help to prevent overheating.
STEP 2
Locate the monitor cable. It will usually be either a VGA or a

DVI cable. VGA cables will often have blue connectors to make
them easier to identify. (If you have an all-in-one computer
that’s built into the monitor, you can skip to Step 4).
STEP 3
Connect one end of the cable to the monitor port on the

back of the computer case, and the other end to the moni-
tor. Hand-tighten the plastic-covered screws on the monitor
cable to secure it.
15
Ormoc City Division

STEP 4
Unpack the keyboard and determine whether it uses a US-

B(rectangular) connector or a PS/2 (round) connector. If it
uses a USB connector, plug it into any of the USB ports on the
back of the computer. If it uses a PS/2 connector, plug it into
the purplekeyboard port on the back of the computer.
STEP 5
Unpack the mouse and determine whether it uses a

USB(rectangular) connector or a PS/2 (round) connec-
tor. If it uses a USB connector, plug it into any of the
USB ports on the back of the computer. If it uses a PS/2
connector, plug it into the green mouse port on the back
of the computer.
If your keyboard has a USB port, you can connect your

mouse to the keyboard instead of connecting it directly
to your computer.
If you have a wireless mouse or keyboard, you may need to connect a Bluetooth dongle (USB adapter) to
your computer. However, many computers have built-in Bluetooth, so a dongle may not be necessary.
STEP 6
If you have external speakers or headphones, you can connect them to your computer’s audio port (ei-
ther on the front or the back of the computer case). Many computers have color-coded ports. Speakers
or headphones connect to the greenport, and a micro-
phone can connect to the pink port. The blueport is the
line in, which can be used with other types of devices.
Some speakers, headphones, and microphones have USB

connectors instead of the usual audio plug. These can be
connected to any USB port. In addition, many computers
have speakers or microphones built into the monitor.
16
Ormoc City Division

STEP 7
Locate the two power supply cables that came with your
computer. Plug the first power supply cable into the back of
thecomputer case, and then into a surge protector. Then, using
the other cable, connect the monitor to the surge protector.
STEP 8
Finally, plug the surge protector into a wall outlet. You

may also need to turn the surge protector on if it has a
power switch.
If you don’t have a surge protector, you can plug the

computer directly into the wall. However, this is not
recommended, as electrical surges can damage your
computer.
SETUP COMPLETE
Your basic computer hardware is now set up. Before you start it up, spend a little time arranging your
workspace. A workspace that is arranged well can improve your productivity and also promote health.

LESSON 4: OPERATING SYSTEMS

Your computer’s operating system (OS) manages all of the software and hardware on the computer. Most
of the time, there are several different computer programs running at the same time, and they all need to
access your computer’s central processing unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The operating system coordi-
nates all of this to make sure each program gets what it needs.
Types of Operating Systems
O perating systems usually come pre-loaded on any computer you buy. Most people use the op-
erating system that
puter, but it’s possible to
comes with their com-
upgrade or even change
operating systems. The three most common
operating systems for personal computers are
Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Modern operating systems use a graphical

user interface, or GUI (pronounced gooey). A
GUI lets you use your mouse to click icons,
buttons, and menus, and everything is clearly displayed on the screen using a combination of graph-
ics and text.
Each operating system’s GUI has a different look and feel, so if you switch to a different operating
system it may seem unfamiliar at first. However, modern operating systems are designed to be easy
to use, and most of the basic principles are the same.
MICROSOFT WINDOWS
M icrosoft created the Win-

dows operating system
in the mid-1980s. There have
been many different versions of
Windows, but the most recent
ones are Windows 10 (released
in 2015), Windows 8 (2012),
Windows 7 (2009), and Windows
Vista (2007). Windows comes
pre-loaded on most new PCs,
which helps to make it the most
popular operating system in the
world.
18
Ormoc City Division
LESSON 4: OPERATING SYSTEMS

LINUX
L inux (pronounced LINN-ux) is a family of open-source operating systems, which means they
can be modified and distributed by anyone around the world. This is different from proprie-
tary software like Windows, which can only be modified by the company that owns it. The advan-
tages of Linux are that it is free, and there are many different
distributions—or versions—you can choose from.
According to StatCounter Global Stats, Linux users account

for less than 2% of global operating systems. However, most
servers run Linux because it’s relatively easy to customize.
macOS
m acOS (previously called OS X) is a line of operating

systems created by Apple. It comes preloaded on
all Macintosh computers, or Macs. Some of the specific
versions include Mojave (released in 2018), High Sierra
(2017), and Sierra (2016).
According to StatCounter Global Stats, macOS users

account for less than 10% of global operating systems—
much lower than the percentage of Windows users (more
than 80%). One reason for this is that Apple computers
tend to be more expensive. However, many people do prefer the look and feel of macOS over
Windows.
OPERATING SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICES
T he operating systems we’ve been talk-

ing about so far were designed to run
on desktop and laptop computers. Mobile
devices such as phones, tablet comput-
ers, and MP3 players are different from
desktop and laptop computers, so they
run operating systems that are designed
specifically for mobile devices. Examples
of mobile operating systems include Apple
iOS and Google Android. In the screenshot below, you can see iOS running on an iPad.
Operating systems for mobile devices generally aren’t as fully featured as those made for desktop
and laptop computers, and they aren’t able to run all of the same software. However, you can still
do a lot of things with them, like watch movies, browse the Web, manage your calendar, and play
games.

LESSON 4: COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
WEB CAMERA
A web camera—or webcam—is a type of input device that can record videos
and take pictures. It can also transmit video over the Internet in real time,
which allows for video chat or video conferencing with someone else. Many
webcams also include a microphone for this reason.
GAME CONTROLLER
A game controller is used to control computer games. There are many other
types of controllers you can use, including joysticks, although you can also
use your mouse and keyboard to control most games.
DIGITAL CAMERA
A digital camera lets you capture pictures and videos in a digital format. By
connecting the camera to your computer’s USB port, you can transfer the
images from the camera to the computer.
MOBILE PHONES, MP3 PLAYERS, AND OTHER DEVICES.
Whenever you buy an electronic device, such as a mobile phone or MP3

player, check to see if it comes with a USB cable. If it does, this means you can
most likely connect it to your computer.

LESSON 5: Motherboard Components and Functions
MOTHERBOARD
A computer has many components, each with

their own roles and functions. The role of
the motherboard is to allow all these compo-
nents to communicate with each other. Con-
sidering the fact that all the other components
are installed on the motherboard or connected
to it, it is safe to say that the motherboard is the
central piece of a PC, the component that brings
it all together.
PROCESSOR SOCKET
The processor socket is the central piece of a

motherboard, usually being located near the
center of the motherboard. It’s also the central
piece because it holds the processor –
the brain of your computer.
POWER CONNECTORS
No computer component can operate without power, and a motherboard is no exception. The
power connector, commonly a 20 or 24-pin connector, can be situated either near the right edge
of the motherboard, or somewhere close to the processor
socket on older motherboards. This is where the power
supply’s main connector gets attached, providing power to
the motherboard and all the other components.
Newer motherboards have an additional 4-pin or 8-pin

connector near the processor, used to supply additional
power directly to the processor.
23
Ormoc City Division
LESSON 5: MOTHERBOARD
MOUSE AND KEYBOARD
Keyboard Connectors are two types basically. all PCs have a Key board port connected directly to the
motherboard. The oldest, but still quite common type, is a special DIN, and most PCs until recently re-
tained this style connector. The AT-style keyboard connector is quickly disappearing,
being replaced by the smaller mini DIN PS/2-style keyboard connector.
You can use an AT-style keyboard with a PS/2-style socket (or the other way around)
by using a converter. Although the AT connector is unique in PCs, the PS/2-style
mini-DIN is also used in more modern PCs for the mouse. Fortunately , most PCs that
use the mini-DIN for both the keyboard and mouse clearly mark each mini-DIN sock-
et as to its correct use. Some keyboards have a USB connection, but these are fairly rare
compared to the PS/2 connection keyboards.
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)
USB is the General-purpose connection for PC. You can find USB
versions of many different devices, such as mice, keyboards, scan-
ners, cameras, and even printers. a USB connector’s distinctive
rectangular shape makes it easily recognizable.
USB has a number of features that makes it particularly popular on

PCs. First, USB devices are hot swappable. You can insert or remove
them without restarting your system.
PARALLEL PORT
Most printers use a special connector called a parallel port. Paral-

lel port carry data on more than one wire, as opposed to the serial
port, which uses only one wire. Parallel ports use a 25-pin female DB
connector. Parallel ports are directly supported by the motherboard
through a direct connection or through a dangle.
24
Ormoc City Division
CPU CHIP
The central processing unit, also called the microprocessor
performs all the calculations that take place inside a pc.
CPUs come in Variety of shapes and sizes.
Modern CPUs generate a lot of heat and thus require a
cooling fan or heat sink. The cooling device (such as a cool-
ing fan) is removable, although some CPU manufactures
sell the CPU with a fan permanently attached.
RAM SLOTS
Random-Access Memory (RAM) stores programs

and data currently being used by the CPU. RAM
is measured in units called bytes. RAM has been
packaged in many different ways. The most cur-
rent package is called a 168-pin DIMM (Dual
Inline Memory module).
VIDEO CARD SLOT
This is the type of slot that doesn’t need an explanation, as its name doesn’t leave much room for
interpretation as to what its role is. Coming in the form of a
PCI-Express slot on newer motherboards or AGP on older
ones, the video card slot is situated right below the processor.
It is not uncommon for older motherboards, especially those

that target the office segment, to lack this slot, meaning that
you won’t be able to install a discrete video card, thus having to
rely on the integrated one. At the opposite pole, high-end gaming motherboards come with multi-
ple video card slots, allowing the installation of multiple video cards in a SLI or CrossFire configu-
ration.
CMOS BATTERY
To provide Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-conductor

(CMOS) with the power when the computer is turned off all
motherboards comes with a battery. These batteries mount
on the motherboard in one of three ways: the obsolete exter-
nal battery, the most common onboard battery, and built-in
battery.

IDE AND SATA PORTS
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) and Serial Advance Technology

Attachment (SATA) ports are used to provide connectivity for the
storage devices and optical drives. The IDE interface is somewhat
outdated, so you shouldn’t be surprised if you see a lot of new moth-
erboards coming without this type of port. It was replaced by the
smaller and much faster SATA interface, which currently reached
its 3rd revision, being able to achieve maximum speeds of up to 600
MB/s, as opposed to the IDE interface, which can reach a maximum
of 133 MB/s.
It is not uncommon for manufacturers to include SATA ports of different revisions, such as two SATA2
ports and two SATA3 ports. Considering the fact that most optical drives on the market come with a
SATA connector, and these devices are not bandwidth-hungry, using a SATA2 port for an optical drive is
perfectly acceptable. In fact, most mechanical hard drives cannot achieve SATA3 speeds due to mechan-
ical limitations, so unless you plan to use multiple high-performance solid state drives in your PC, which
can benefit of the higher speeds of SATA3, a combination of SATA2 and SATA3 shouldn’t make much of a
difference.
NORTHBRIDGE AND SOUTHBRIDGE
If you have a look at your motherboard, chances are

you’ll see a square metal component somewhere in the
lower-right part of the board. This metal component
is actually a heatsink, and its role is to provide thermal
protection for the Northbridge – one of the most impor-
tant components of a motherboard. The northbridge is
responsible for coordinating the data flow between the
memory, the video card and the processor. A second-
ary chip, known as Southbridge, has a similar function,
coordinating the data flow between the processor and
peripherals such as sound cards or network cards.

EXPANSION SLOTS
Expansions have the role of letting you install additional com-

ponents to enhance or expand the functionality of your PC. You
can install a TV tuner, a video capture card, a better soundcard,
etc. – you get the idea. These ports are located under the video
card slot, and come in the form of PCI slots (on older mother-
boards) or a scaled-down version of PCI-Express slots (on newer
motherboards). Some motherboards come with both types of
expansion slots. The number of slots is usually dependent on the
format of the motherboard – larger motherboards (full ATX)
have more, while smaller formats (micro-ATX) have fewer, if
any.
ATX 12V POWER CONNECTOR
Connects to the 4-pin power cable of a power supply unit which supplies
power to the CPU.
FRONT PANEL CONNECTORS, USB HEADERS AND AUDIO HEADER
The front panel connector is where all the

elements present on the front of your case are
connected. Power button, reset button, power
led, audio connectors and USB connectors –
they are all connected to the front panel or the
corresponding headers.

LESSON 7: HARD DRIVES

HARD DISK DRIVE
A hard drive is basically the computer’s storage. It’s responsible for

processing and storing data.
A hard disk drive is responsible for storing all the user’s data for the
long term. This is not only limited to things saved but also data need-
ed for your operating system to function properly such as drivers that
allow you to connect to the internet and more.
A hard drive does fail after many years in service or cause of a virus or
other natural phenomenon and that is what we call a hard drive failure
Currently, we can group hard drives into four types:
Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment (PATA)

Serial ATA (SATA)
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
Solid State Drives (SSD)
PARALLEL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ATTACHMENT
These were the first types of hard disk drives and they made use of the Parallel ATA interface standard to
connect to computers. These types of drives are the ones we refer to as Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE)
and Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE) drives.
These PATA drives were introduced by Western Digital back in

1986. They provided a common drive interface technology for con-
necting hard drives and other devices to computers. Data transfer
rate can go up to 133MB/s and a maximum of 2 devices can be
connected to a drive channel. Most of the motherboards have a
provision of two channels, thus a total of 4 EIDE devices can be
connected internally.
They make use of a 40 or 80 wire ribbon cable transferring multiple

bits of data simultaneously in parallel. These drives store data by the use of magnetism. The internal struc-
ture is one made of mechanical moving parts. They have been superseded by serial ATA.
33
Ormoc City Division
LESSON 7: HARD DRIVES

SERIAL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ATTACHMENT STORAGE DRIVES
These hard drives have replaced the PATA drives in desktop and laptop
computers. The main physical difference between the two is the interface,
although their method of connecting to a computer is the same. Here are
some advantages of SATA Hard Disk Drives. Worth noting is that their
capacities vary a lot and so does the prices. When buying a disk drive, you
need to know its storage capacity and how much storage you want.
SATA drives can transfer data faster than PATA types by using serial signa-
ling technology. SATA cables are thinner and more flexible than PATA ca-
bles. They have a 7-pin data connection, with cable limit of 1 meter. Disks
do not share bandwidth because there is only one disk drive allowed per SATA controller chip on the
computer motherboard. They consume less power. They only require 250 mV as opposed to 5V for PATA.
SMALL COMPUTER SYSTEM INTERFACE
These are quite similar to IDE hard drives but they make use of the Small Computer System Interface to
connect to the computer. SCSI drives can be connected internally or externally. Devices that are connected
in a SCSI have to be terminated at the end. Here are some of their advantages.
They are faster.

They are very reliable.
Good for 24/7 operations.
Have a better scalability and flexibility in arrays.
Well-adapted for storing and moving large amounts of data.
SOLID STATE DRIVES
These are the latest in drive technology that we have in the computer industry. They are totally different
from the other drives in that they do not consist of moving
parts. They also do not store data using magnetism. Instead,
they make use of flash memory technology. They make use
of integrated circuits or semiconductor devices to store data
permanently, at least until they are erased. Here are some of
their advantages.
Faster data access.

Less susceptible to shock.
Lower access times and latency.
Durability.
Less power usage.

LESSON 8: PRINTER
PRINTER
A printer is an external hardware output device that takes the electronic
data stored on a computer or other device and generates a hard copy of
it. For example, if you created a report on your computer, you could print
several copies to hand out at a staff meeting. Printers are one of the most
popular computer peripherals and are commonly used to print text and
photos.
MECHANICAL PRINTER
The first mechanical printer was invented by Charles Babbage, for use with the
Difference Engine, which Babbage developed in 1822. Babbage’s printer utilized
metal rods with printed characters on each rod to print text on rolls of paper that
were fed through the device.
DOT MATRIX PRINTER
The first dot matrix printer was created by IBM in 1957.

However, the first dot matrix impact printer was introduced
by Centronics in 1970. To create letters and images, the print
head, which contains pins, sits over an ink ribbon. This ribbon
rests above a piece of paper. As the print head moves across
the ribbon (usually horizontally), the pins are pressed into the
ribbon to imprint ink onto the page (similar to a typewriter).
As these pins print a series of dots, you can see where this
printer got its name.
36
Ormoc City Division
LESSON 8: PRINTER
INK JET PRINTER
While inkjet printers started being developed in the late 1950s, it wasn’t
until the late 1970s that they were able to reproduce decent digital images.
These higher quality inkjet printers were developed by multiple companies,
including Canon, Epson, and Hewlett-Packard. Inkjet printers are similar
to dot matrix printers in that the images they create are composed of dots.
However, the dots on an inkjet printer are shot onto the page rather than
using a ribbon and pins. Furthermore, an inkjet printer’s dots are much
smaller, and their print speed is faster. See our inkjet printer page for fur-
ther information about this printer.
LASER PRINTER
In the early 1970s, Gary Starkweather invented the laser printer while working
at Xerox by modifying one of their model 7000 copiers. However, it wasn’t until
1984 when Hewlett-Packard introduced the HP LaserJet that laser printers be-
came more widely available and affordable. The following year, Apple introduced
the Apple LaserWriter, which introduced PostScript technology to the printer
market. Laser printers are a more complex than their predecessors. For informa-
tion on how they work, see our laser printer definition.
3D PRINTER
The 3D printer was created by Chuck Hull in 1984. 3D printers

work by taking a digital blueprint of an object and reproducing
it layer-by-layer using various materials such as plastic and metal
alloys. See our 3D printer definition for further information about
this printer.

LESSON 9: MONITOR
COMPUTER MONITOR
T he type of monitor that you use on a computer can affect your

work space and your wallet. Some monitors can be purchased
on a budget, while others are fairly expensive. Different varieties of
monitor also have different energy requirements and visual qualities.
By considering the pros and cons of these four common computer
displays, you can find the right monitor for the job.photos.
CATHODE RAY TUBE
The cathode ray tube monitor is one of the oldest types of computer dis-
play device. CRT computer monitors have been in use since the 1950s,
and are still used today. This type of monitor uses a beam of electrons to
illuminate different areas of the screen. The beam moves back and forth
rapidly, and updates the screen image many times each second.
CRT monitors are relatively inexpensive and reliable. However, they are
also somewhat cumbersome and heavy. For this reason, they are usually
the not first choice for installations that require a thin and unobtrusive
monitor.
LIQUID-CRYSTAL DISPLAY
Liquid-crystal display monitors use a layer of pixels to display an

image. Instead of an electron beam, LCD displays use transparent
electrodes to control the array of pixels and update the picture.
This allows LCD monitors to be much thinner than their CRT
counterparts. An LCD display also requires less power than a
traditional CRT.
LCD monitors do have some disadvantages, however. They are

often more expensive than CRT displays. The image can also
become faint if the monitor is viewed from an angle. Even with
these drawbacks, LCD monitors have mostly replaced CRTs in
recent years.
39
Ormoc City Division
LESSON 9: MONITOR
LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE
A light-emanating diode screen is basically an overhauled adaptation

of an LCD show. Both LCD and LED screens utilize straightforward
terminals to control various pixels. In an LED showcase, be that as it
may, light emanating diodes are set behind the screen and go about
as a backdrop illumination. This builds the definition and splendor of
the screen.
Driven screens utilize less power than both LCD and CRT screens.
This makes them perfect for vitality delicate gadgets, for example, workstations and tablets. These advan-
tages come at an assembling cost that is higher than different screens, in any case
PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL
Plasma show board screens utilize little cells of charged gases to make a picture. These cells are like family
bright lights. Every plasma cell makes its very own enlightenment, which disposes of the requirement for
a different backdrop illumination and gives PDP screens solid differ-
entiation.
A plasma screen is commonly heavier than an LCD show. Plasma

screens additionally draw more power than both LCD and LED
screens, and are defenseless to “copied in” pictures in the event that
they are left on for extensive stretches of time.

LESSON 10: BOOTABLE USB DRIVE APPLICATIONS

RUFUS
Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash
drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be be
especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation
media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.); you need to work
on a system that doesn’t have an OS installed; you need to flash a BIOS
or other firmware from DOS; you want to run a low-level utility. Rufus
is significantly faster than similar utilities and it’s open source and free.
UNETBOOTIN
UNetbootin is a free program for both Windows, Linux,

and Mac OS X that allows you to create bootable Live
USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distri-
butions instead of burning a CD. It runs on both Win-
dows and Linux. Either use UNetbootin to download one
of the many Linux distributions it supports or provide
the location of your own Linux ISO file.
UNIVERSAL USB INSTALLER
The name says it all, Universal USB Installer is a Windows bootable USB tool that lets you create almost
any type of bootable USB media. Be it Linux or Windows, special antivirus rescue drives, security, and
penetration testing drives, or other low-level bootable drives.
Unlike other software, the best thing about Universal USB Install-
er is that you can select the operating system from the drop-down
menu. Now, as per the selection, it will create bootable media
with appropriate settings. For instance, if you want to create a
bootable Ubuntu USB drive then you have to first select Ubuntu
from the drop-down menu. Further, the software will handle all
the complexities of making directories, boot partition, etc.
Moreover, the most useful feature of Universal USB Installer is its

ability to create bootable USB drives with persistence storage. In case you are wondering, the persistence
storage allows you to backup, store and access persistence data like system settings, application backups,
bookmarks, etc., directly on your bootable USB media. Of course, you can select the amount of persis-
tence store you’d like to have while creating the bootable USB drive. Do mind that this feature is only
available for selected Linux distributions.
42
Ormoc City Division
LESSON 10: BOOTABLE USB DRIVE APPLICATIONS

ETCHER
Etcher is the new kid on the block and the easiest to use bootable
software in this list. The main reason to build Etcher was to escape
the complexity of selecting multiple options and settings with dif-
ferent Operating-system. It just requires few clicks to convert your
SD card or USB into a bootable drive. It supports Windows, Linux
based OS and even macOS. Etcher also has a pro variant that is
targeted towards enterprises where 100+ drives need to be flashed
simultaneously.
WINDOWS USB/DVD TOOL
If you are a Windows user and the only requirement is to

create a bootable USB drive for Windows, then the official
tool is for you. As the name suggests, the Windows USB/
DVD tool can be used to create both bootable USB and DVD
drives.
What makes the tool special is its ease of use. All you have to do is insert the USB drive, select the ISO,
and click Next, that’s it. After the initial format, the Windows USB/DVD tool will create the bootable USB
drive within a few minutes.
RMPrepUSB
If you are looking for a highly customizable and feature-rich

bootable USB creator then RMPrepUSB is the way to go. Just like
with Universal USB Installer, you can create almost any type of
bootable USB media. But what makes RMPrepUSB special is its
ability to create multi-boot drives, support for multiple image
formats, customizable the bootloader options, file system options,
and QEMU Emulator.
In case you don’t know, you can quickly boot into a bootable USB
drive using QEMU Emulator right on your Windows machine.
No need to reboot your system. This feature is useful when you
want to verify if the bootable USB has been created properly.
Other than that, you can also install various bootloaders like
grub4dos, syslinux, grub2 to mbr, bootmbr, WEE, etc. There are loads of other settings if you are willing
to explore and experiment.
