Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the CSS 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Setting-up

Computer Server!

This module contains information and suggested learning activities on Computer

Systems Servicing NC II. Completion of this module will help you better understand
the succeeding module on configuring and maintaining computer systems.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

ICON

Note to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the (Grade 10) Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Setting-up Computer
Server)

This module consists of 3 learning outcomes. Each learning outcome contains

learning activities supported by instruction sheets. Before you perform the
instructions, read the information sheets and answer the activities provided to as
certain to yourself and your teacher that you have acquired the knowledge
necessary to perform the skill portion of the particular learning outcome.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be
enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

This will give you an idea of the skills or

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of
the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities
included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not
alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and
gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

 Lesson

1 Setting-up Computer Server

What’s In

Technical Terms:

NOS – Network Operating System

LAN – Local Area Network

OS – Operating System
SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol

What’s New

A network operating system (NOS) provides services to clients over

a network. Providing basic network administration utilities (such as SNMP,
or Simple Network Management Protocol), enabling an administrator to
perform tasks involving managing network resources and users.

What is It

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

The term network operating system is used to refer to two rather different
concepts:

7
 • A specialized operating system for a network device such as a
router, switch or firewall.
• An operating system oriented to computer networking, to allow
shared files and printer access among multiple computers in a
network, to enable the sharing of data, users, groups, security,
applications, and other networking functions. Typically over a
local area network (LAN), or private network. This sense is now
largely historical, as common operating systems generally now
have such features included.

TYPES OF NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

1. Peer-to-peer network
In a peer-to-peer network
operating system users are
allowed to share resources
and files located on their
computers and access shared
resources from others. This
system is not based with
having a file server or
centralized management
source. A peer-to-peer network
sets all connected computers
equal; they all share the same
abilities to use resources
available on the network.

The advantage include:

• Ease of setup
• Less hadware needed, no server need be acquired

The disadvantages include:

• No central location for storage

• Less security than the client-server model

2. Client-Server Network
Network operating systems can
be based on a client-server model
(architecture) in which a server
enables multiple clients to share
resources. Client-server network
operating systems allow networks
to centralize functions and
applications in one or more
dedicated file servers. The server

8
is the center of the system, allowing access to resources and
instituting security.

The advantages include:

• Centralized servers are more stable
• Security is providd through the server
• New technology and hardware can be easily integrated into the
system
• Hardware and the oprating system can be specialized, with a
focus on performance
• Servers are able to be accessed remotely from different locations
and types of systems
The disadvantages include:
• Buying and running a server raises costs
• Dependence on a central location for operation
• Requires regular maintenance and updates

module. Read and fill in the blank to complete the information/sentence
below.

 1. Network Operating System is a specialized operating system for a
device such as a router, switch or firewall.
2. In a peer-to-peer network operating system users are allowed to
resources and files located on their computers and
access shared resources from others.
3. A peer-to-peer network sets all connected computers .
4. Client-server network operating systems allow networks to
functions and applications in one or more dedicated file
servers.
5. The is the center of the system, allowing access to
resources and instituting security.
