Welcome!
The unit of competency, “Install and Configure Computer Systems”, is one of the
competencies of COMPUTER SYSTEMS SERVICING NC – II (CSS), a course which
comprises the knowledge, skills and attitude required for TVET trainees to possess.
In this module, you are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to
complete each learning outcome. In each learning outcome are Information Sheets, Self-
Checks, Operation Sheets and Task/Job Sheets. Follow and perform the activities on your
own. If you have questions do not hesitate to ask for assistance from your facilitator.
Remember to:
Work through all the information and complete the activities in each section.
Read information sheets and complete the self-check. Suggested references are
included to supplement the materials provided in this module.
Most probably, your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager. He is there to
support you and show you the correct way to do things.
You will be given plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practice on the job.
Make sure you practice your new skills during regular work shifts. This way, you
will improve your speed, memory and your confidence.
Use the Self-Checks, Operation Sheets or Task or Job Sheets at the end of each
section to test your own progress. Use the Performance Criteria Checklist or
Procedural Checklist located after the sheet to check your own performance.
When you feel confident that you have had sufficient practice, ask your Trainer to
evaluate you. The results of your assessment will be recorded in your Progress
Chart and Accomplishment Chart.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
Introduction:
You've probably heard the phrase boot your computer, but do you
know what that means?
Booting is the process that occurs when you press the power button to turn
your computer on. At the end of at
process, the operating system loads
From this point, the operating system
begins to do its job of controlling the way
in which the computer functions. The
operating system is responsible for
managing the computer's hardware and
software resources.
Basically, the operating system serves as
the boss, or manager, and makes sure all
the various parts of the computer get
what they need.
When you use your personal computer, you may work on a Word document,
print an email, and have your Internet browser open for web surfing, all at
the same time. These three programs need attention from the central
processing unit (CPU) to do whatever task that you, the user, are telling it to
do.
These programs need memory and storage, and need to be able to send
messages to devices such as the mouse and the printer to accomplish these
With the different types of operating systems in mind, it's time to look at the
basic functions provided by an operating system.
The bootstrap loader is a small program that has a single function: It loads
the operating system into memory and allows it to begin operation. In the
most basic form, the bootstrap loader sets up the small driver programs that
interface with and control the various hardware subsystems of the
computer. It sets up the divisions of memory that hold the operating system,
user information and applications. It establishes the data structures that
will hold the myriad signals, flags and semaphores that are used to
communicate within and between the subsystems and applications of the
computer. Then it turns control of the computer over to the operating
system.
1. Processor management
2. Memory management
3. Device management
