BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL

UNIT-1
1. Identify & Understand Models of Computers.
Models of Computers:
1. Desktop Model: Fig 1a shows the figure A desktop computer is a personal computer in a
form intended for regular use at a single location desk/table due to its size and power
requirements. The most common configuration is a computer monitor, keyboard and mouse, and
a case that houses the main components of the PC, namely the power supply, motherboard, hard
drive, optical drive, and previously the floppy drive. The form factor of the case is typically an
upright tower or (horizontal) desktop.
2. Laptop: As shown in fig 1b , It is a portable computer, which can sit on the users lap. It has
a pop-up screen and batteries power in it. Laptops are useful to send information while
traveling from one place to another.
3. PDA: Fig 1c shows PDA stands for Short for Personal Digital Assistant, it is of the size of
users palm. It is used as personal organizer and provides user with the ability to store names
and address, play games, access the internet and acts as a calculator. A typical PDA can
function as a cellular phone, fax sender, and personal organizer. Unlike portable computers, most
PDAs are pen-based, using a stylus rather than a keyboard for input. PDAs are also called
palmtops, hand-held computers and pocket computers.
4. Notebook computer: Fig 1d shows Notebook Computer. An extremely lightweight personal
computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit
easily in a briefcase. Aside from size, the principal difference between a notebook computer and
a personal computer is the display screen. Notebook computers use a variety of techniques,
known as flat-panel technologies, to produce a lightweight and non-bulky display screen. The
quality of notebook display screens varies considerably. In terms of computing power, modern
notebook computers are nearly equivalent to personal computers. They have the same CPUs,
memory capacity, and disk drives. However, all this power in a small package is expensive.
Notebook computers cost about twice as much as equivalent regular-sized computers. Notebook
computers come with battery packs that enable you to run them without plugging them in.
However, the batteries need to be recharged every few hours.
5. Subnotebook computer: Fig 1e shows subnotebook computer. A portable computer that is
slightly lighter and smaller than a full-sized notebook computer. Typically, subnotebook

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 you have external speakers or headphones, you can connect them to your
computer's audio port (either on the front or the back of the computer case). Many
computers have color-coded ports. Speakers or headphones connect to the green port, and
a microphone connects to the pink port. The blue port 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.

Locate the two power supply cables that came with your computer. Plug the first
power supply cable into the back of the computer case, and then into a surge protector.
Then, using the other cable, connect the monitor to the surge protector. Finally, plug
the surge protector into a wall outlet. You may also need to turn on the surge protector if
it has a power switch.

BOOTING PROCESS
In order for a computer to successfully boot, its BIOS(Basic Input Output System),
operating system and hardware components must all be working properly; failure of any one of
these three elements will likely result in a failed boot sequence.
When the computer's power is first turned on, the CPU initializes itself, which is
triggered by a series of clock ticks generated by the system clock. Part of the CPU's initialization
is to look to the system's ROM BIOS for its first instruction in the startup program. The ROM
BIOS stores the first instruction, which is the instruction to run the power-on self test (POST), in
a predetermined memory address. POST begins by checking the BIOS chip and then tests
CMOS RAM. If the POST does not detect a battery failure, it then continues to initialize the
CPU, checking the inventoried hardware devices (such as the video card), secondary storage
devices, such as hard drives and floppy drives, ports and other hardware devices, such as
the keyboard and mouse, to ensure they are functioning properly. Once the POST has determined
that all components are functioning properly and the CPU has successfully initialized, the BIOS
looks for an OS to load.
The BIOS typically looks to the CMOS chip to tell it where to find the OS, and in most
PCs, the OS loads from the C drive on the hard drive even though the BIOS has the capability to
load the OS from a floppy disk, CD or ZIP drive. The order of drives that the CMOS looks to in
order to locate the OS is called the boot sequence, which can be changed by altering the CMOS
setup. Looking to the appropriate boot drive, the BIOS will first encounter the boot record, which
tells it where to find the beginning of the OS and the subsequent program file that will initialize
the OS.
Once the OS initializes, the BIOS copies its files into memory and the OS basically takes
over control of the boot process. Now in control, the OS performs another inventory of the
system's memory and memory availability (which the BIOS already checked) and loads the
device drivers that it needs to control the peripheral devices, such as a printer, scanner, optical
drive, mouse and keyboard. This is the final stage in the boot process, after which the user can
access the systems applications to perform tasks.

Screen saver : Computer monitors display images by firing electron beams at a phosphor-coated
screen. If the same image stays on the screen too long, there is a danger that the image will leave
a permanent imprint on the screen. A screensaver (or screen saver) is a computer program that
blanks the screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use.
Initially designed to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT and plasma computer monitors (hence the
name), screensavers are now used primarily for entertainment, security or to display system
status information.
Scroll bars: In many programs, if the contents of the work area do not fit in the window,

Ex 6.Creation of Folders, Creating/Opening of file, Editing and saving the document,


Copy, Cut and Paste operations, built-in utilities of OS like Text Editors, Paint,
Calculator, etc.
Creation of folder:
A folder is a location where you can store your files. You can create any number of folders
and even store folders inside other folders (subfolders). Heres how to create a new folder:
1. Go to the location (such as a folder or the desktop) where you want to create a new folder.
2. Right-click a blank area on the desktop or in the folder window, point to New, and then
click Folder.
3. Type a name for the new folder, and then press Enter. The new folder will appear in the
location you specified.

the notepad to open notepad , go to file select new to open new file and type text and then save
the document using save option.
Copy, Cut and Paste operations:
Cut command removes the selected data from its original position, while the copy command
creates a duplicate; in both cases the selected data is placed in a clipboard. The data in the
clipboard is later inserted in the position where the paste command is issued.

19 |

By: Shabnam S Jahagirdar, Lecturer, Dept of CS, GPT Hubli.

BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS LAB MANUAL

Cut and paste:


1. The user selects or "highlights" the text or file for moving by some method, typically
by dragging over the text or file name with the pointing-device or holding down the Shift
key while using the arrow keys to move the text cursor.
2. The user performs a "cut" operation via key combination Ctrl+x , menu, or other means
3. Visibly, "cut" text immediately disappears from its location. "Cut" files typically change
color to indicate that they will be moved.
4. Conceptually, the text has now moved to a location often called the clipboard. The
clipboard typically remains invisible. On most systems only one clipboard location
exists, hence another cut or copy operation overwrites the previously stored information.
5. The user selects a location for insertion by some method, typically by clicking at the
desired insertion point
6. A paste operation takes place which visibly inserts the clipboard text at the insertion
point.
Copy and paste:
The term "copy-and-paste" refers to simple method of reproducing text or other data from a
source to a destination. It differs from cut and paste in that the original source text or data does
not get deleted or removed. Once one has copied data into the clipboard, one may paste the
contents of the clipboard into a destination document.
Built-in Utilities:
Text Editors
A text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files. Text editors are
provided with operating systems and software development packages, and can be used to
change configuration files, documentation files and programming language source code.
A plain text file uses a character encoding such as UTF-8 or ASCII to represent numbers,
letters, and symbols. The only non-printing characters in the file that can be used to
format the text are newline, tab, and form feed. Plain text files are often displayed using
a mono space font so horizontal alignment and columnar formatting is sometimes done
using space characters.
Paint
Paint is a simple computer graphics program that has been included with all versions of
Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The program
mainly opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color,

and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or
transparency, although the Windows 98 version, a Windows 95 upgrade, and
the Windows NT4 version did support the latter),PNG (without alpha channel), and
single-page TIFF. The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but
there is no grayscale mode.
Calculator
You can use Calculator to perform simple calculations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. Calculator also offers the advanced capabilities of a
programming, scientific, and statistical calculator. You can perform calculations by
clicking the calculator buttons, or you can type calculations by using your keyboard. You
can also use the numeric keypad to type numbers and operators by pressing Num Lock.

Step 2: Click Compose


Step 3: A new blank email window will open up. In the To box, type in the email address of the
recipient.
Step 4: You might want to include someone else in your email to keep them in the loop. You
can do this by clicking Cc or Bcc, which will open another field. Cc means carbon copy and
Bcc means blind carbon copy. Adding an email address to the Cc field means that that
person will receive a copy of the email and all the other recipients will see their email address. If
an email address is put into the 'Bcc field, the person will get a copy of the email but no other
recipient will see that address. If you are sending the same email to lots of different people, its
a good idea to put all the email addresses in the Bcc field to keep your mailing list
confidential. That way, theres no chance that it could fall into the hands of a spammer or hacker.
Step 5: The subject field allows you to give the recipient an idea of the topic of your email, like a
heading. You dont have to put anything in the subject box, but it can help when viewing and
sorting email.
Step 6: Email text can be formatted in a similar way to text in a word document. You can change
the font style, color and size using the formatting icons. You can also create bullet points and
check the spelling of your email. Choose your formatting from the menu shown.
Step 7: Type your message in the main body field of your email
Step 8: When youre done with your email, click the blue Send button at the bottom of the
compose window
Step 9: The email youve sent will now be stored in the Sent Mail folder on your email
dashboard. You may have to run your mouse pointer over the Inbox folder link to see the other
folders.
Step 10: You may start an email but then decide to come back to it later rather than sending it
straightaway. Gmail saves your drafts automatically. So you can simply close the email and the
unfinished email will be saved to your Drafts folder. When you decide that youre ready to
send it, you can retrieve it from the Drafts folder by clicking Drafts and then clicking the
correct item in the Drafts folder list. Finish the email and click send as normal
