Overview
Computer consists of two main parts Hardware and Software. In
software, system software (Operating system) is main software
which control and manage the computer and all the devices
attached to it. This learning unit covers the procedure of
installing, operating system; describes different types of
operating systems, precautions and hardware requirements for
installing Operating system. After completion of this learning
unit, you will be able to demonstrate the procedure for installing
Operating System and describes the different types of operating
system and computer parts. 10/28/2024 4

Basic Components of Computer
System
• There are three basic components of computer system.
CPU or system unit, Input unit and Output unit.

1. CPU or System unit
• System unit is a base for computer system. That
commonly known as CPU (Central Processing Unit). The
central processing unit is "brain" of computer , which
consists of the following three main parts:
• Memory Unit
• Control Unit
• Arithmetic and Logic Unit
10/28/2024 9
Memory unit:
• consists of primary memory and secondary memory. In
primary memory, RAM (Random Access Memory which is
primary memory that loads the required data and erase it
at the time of shutdown/restart. In secondary memory
which store information on disc drives / devices
permanently this can be used in future again and again.

10/28/2024 10
Control Unit:
• it controls all the devices (peripheral devices) which
attached to the computer.

10/28/2024 11
ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit):
• It is also called Microprocessor which is the brain of the
computer, which deals with all the arithmetic (additions,
multiplication, subtractions) and logical operations
(greater, less then, equal etc.) of the computer.

Input unit

• Input unit /devices are used


for giving input to the
computer for processing.
There are many types of
input devices like keyboard,
mouse and scanner.

10/28/2024 14
Output Unit
• Output unit/ devices
are used for giving
and display output to
the user. There are
many types of output
devices like printer,
speaker and monitor.

Hardware And Software:

10/28/2024 16
Hardware
• Hardware is the physical parts of Computer that can be seen
or touched. This includes the computer casing, monitor,
keyboard, and mouse. It also includes all the parts inside the
computer casing, such as the hard disk drive, motherboard,
video card, LAN card and many others.

10/28/2024 17
Software

• The set of instructions given to the computer to perform a


task is called software. Computer software or software
is any set of machine-readable instructions that directs a
computer's processor to perform specific operations. The
two main types of software are System Software and
Application software. Following are the two main types of
software.

10/28/2024 18
System software
• System software is
computer software
designed to operate and
control the computer
hardware and to provide
a platform for running
application software it
includes software like
operating system
Language Software,
device drivers 10/28/2024 19
Application Software
• includes Word processing
software, Spreadsheet
software, Database
software, Education
software, entertainment
software and many more.
