Introduction:
This lesson 2 discourses computer operation skills that
should be possessed by an individual in order to perform
functions efficiently and effectively in a workplace. You will
also learn understanding of the principles and concepts in
performing computer operations.
Trade Terms to Remember:
Software- A software is the program that a computer uses
in order to function.
HDD- Hard Disk Drive
SSD- Solid State Drive
Electro-mechanical – denoting to a mechanical device which
is electrically operated.

COMMON TYPES OF SOFTWARE

Some Types of Computer Software or Programs:

1. Systems Programs/Operating System Software
• Is the software used by the computer to translate inputs
from various sources into a language which a machine
can understand. Basically the System software or the
operating system software coordinates the different
hardware components of a computer
• Examples:
• Operating Systems like Linux, Windows, Unix, Solaris,
MacOS
2. Application Programs
• It is a software which we must use to interact with
the computer.
• Examples:
• Word Processor
• Game programs
• Spreadsheets
It provides support to the physical components of
computers. System software coordinates all external
devices of computer system like printer, keyboard,
displays etc.
It is used for commercial purpose. The application
software is widely used in educational, business and
medical fields.
3. Compilers

iv
 • The computer understands only one language:
machine language. Machine language is in the form of
ones and zeros. Since it is highly impractical for people to
create programs out of zeros and ones, there must be a
way of translating or converting a language which we
understand into machine language, for this purpose, there
exists compilers

Different Parts of the Keyboard

Function Keys
Across the top of a keyboard are a row of keys called the
Function Keys. Each key is composed of the letter F and a
number, ranging from F1 to F12. Each of the Function
Keys performs a specific operation based upon what
software is being used.
Numeric Keypad
Many larger keyboards have an extra section to the right
that contains the Numeric Keypad. This consists of the
numbers 1 through 9, an asterisk, a slash, a dash, a plus
sign, an enter key and a period. There is also is a "Num
Lock" key, which is used to turn on and off the Numeric
Keypad.
Navigation Keys
The Navigation Keys, also called the Direction Keys, are
used to navigate through documents and websites.
Examples of Navigation Keys are the up, down, left and
right arrows
Typewriter Keyboard
The center of the keyboard, which contains the largest
amount of keys, includes letters and numbers. Most
typing is done with these keys.
Special Keys
Other keys include the Alt and Ctrl keys (used for specific
functions), the Tab key (used to insert the curser) and the

v
Shift key (used to make capital letters or symbols that are
located on the number keys).
Escape
The Escape key is located in the upper left-hand corner of
the keyboard. It is used to cancel operations.
INSIDE THE KEYBOARD
A keyboard has its own processor and circuitry that
carries information to and from that processor.

The microprocessor and controller circuitry of a

keyboard

Keyboarding Chart

Good typing ability takes time and lots and lots of practice.
However there are some important things that will help you in
the process: 

**NOTE It is also important to strike the keys with a short quick stroke.

STORAGE DEVICES
A storage device is any type of computing hardware
that is used for storing, porting or extracting data files and
objects. Storage devices can hold and store information
both temporarily and permanently. They may be internal
or external to a computer, server or computing device.

There are two different types of storage devices:

Primary storage devices: Generally smaller in size, primary
storage devices are designed to hold data temporarily and are
internal to the computer. They have the fastest data access
speed. These types of devices include RAM and cache memory.
Secondary storage devices: Secondary storage devices
usually have larger storage capacity, and they store data
permanently. They can be either internal or external to the
computer. These types of devices include the hard disk,
the optical disk drive and USB storage device.

Hard disk drive or HDD, or sometimes called fixed disk is

an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and
retrieves digital data.
A hard disk is actually a set of stacked disks. Each disk
has data recorded electromagnetically in concentric
circles, or tracks, on the disk. A head, similar to a
phonograph arm but in a relatively fixed position, writes or
reads the information on the tracks.
viii
A hard disk/drive unit comes with a set rotation speed
varying from 4,200 revolutions per minute to 15,000 rpm.
Most laptop and desktop PCs use hard disks that fall
between 5,400 rpm and 7,200 rpm, while hard disks at
higher rpm can be found in high-end workstations and
enterprise servers.

How to check RPM of a hard disk?

Run search bar, type msinfo32, hit enter.

Specifications of the Hard disk is displayed on the right
panel of the window. Copy the Model then paste in any
search engine.
SSD: New Paradigm
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of storage
device used in computers. SSDs replace traditional
mechanical hard disks by using flash-based memory,
which is significantly faster.
NAND is a type of flash memory used in solid state drives
and has the benefit of being non-volatile, meaning that it
can retain data even with the power off.
SSD’s have specific benefits in the following areas:
Business- Companies work with huge amount of data so
access time and file transfer speeds are critical
Gaming- For storage, as modern blockbuster games
constantly load and write files (e.g. textures, maps, levels,
characters).
Mobility- SSDs have low power requirements, thus
contributing to better battery life in laptops and tablets.
SSDs are also shock resistant, which reduces the chances
of data loss when mobile devices are dropped.
Servers- Enterprise servers need SSDs to get fast reads
and writes in order to properly serve their client PCs
Different types of SSD
2.5” SSD- is the most familiar and currently the most
affordable. The drive itself is enclosed in a lightweight shell
and will require SATA connectors for power and data
transfer.
ix
mSATA SSDs or Mini-SATA, refers to both the form factor
of the SSD as well as the interface. This type of SSD is
much smaller than the 2.5” drive and is a bare circuit.

M.2 SSDs are similar to mSATA drives and also come in as

a bare circuit board. The difference is that within the M.2
form factor there are a variety of different width and length
combinations, allowing for more flexibility in its usage.
Due to its more versatile size, they are typically used for
mobile solutions such as ultrabooks or tablets

PCI-Express SSDs have entered the mainstream consumer

market. This form of SSD is the most expensive in terms of
price per gigabyte but also offers the best performance.
These SSDs use the PCI-E slot as their interface and so
will be limited to the speed of the PCI-E slot.
