Connecting of Wires and Peripheral Devices
- 1. Lesson 1 Starting and Shutting Down A Computer
- 2. Before we begin, let us have a short review of your learning from the previous module. 1. What is a hazard? 2. What are the examples of hazards?
- 7. Steps in Connecting Peripherals of a PC 1. Attach the Video Graphics Array (VGA) cable connector to the VGA port at the back of the computer and of the monitor.
- 8. 2. Plug the keyboard cable to the PS/2 or USB
- 9. 3. Plug the mouse cable to the PS/2 or USB port.
- 10. 4. Plug the LAN cable and other peripheral devices.
- 11. 5. Connect the power cable.
- 12. Steps in Connecting the Power Cables to the
- 14. 1. Plug the other end of the power cable from the system unit to one of the 220V power ports at the back of the AVR.
- 15. 2. Connect the other end of the power cable from the monitor to one of the 220Vpower ports at the back of
- 16. 3. Plug in the AVR’s power connector to the wall outlet.
- 17. Switching ON As soon as you are done connecting the peripherals, we then need to double check if all the cables are properly connected, especially the power cables going to the AVR
- 18. Make As soon as you are done connecting the peripherals, we then need to double check if all the cables are properly connected, especially the power cables going to the AVR. Make sure they are connected to the 220V ports to avoid damaging
- 19. 1. Turn the AVR ON by toggling the switch ON. A red-Light Emitting Diode (LED) will be lit.
- 20. 2. Press the power button on the system unit. A steady power LED light indicator is seen once the power button is pressed.
- 21. 3. Turn the monitor ON. Most PC monitors’ ON/OFF button is located on the bottom corner of the screen (see below). When the monitor is ON, the button often lights up green or blue. 4. If you have a printer, turn it on when needed.
- 23. Logging In and Off User Accounts As soon as the computer is ON, you will see the user account login screen. If you have one user account only with no password, it may go straight to the
- 25. If your computer has several users, you may see more than one user account on the login screen. When you click the corresponding icon of your name, you will be asked for a password. The main user or administrator has set this up for
- 27. When to log off a user account?
- 28. When you are attending a very important matter and have to leave the computer for a while and you don’t want to start the computer all over again, you could log off your user account. Another reason why you log off your user account is when another user of the computer wants to log in his/her own account while yours is logged in. In doing so, see to it that your documents have already been saved.
- 30. Accessing and Navigating Operating System Features and Functions
- 31. Checking the specifications of your computer hardware is not only performed by looking at the hardware itself. We can also use the software side of the computer through the system features of the operating system.
- 39. What is the difference between log off and shut down? Log off lets you sign out of your user account. Any programs running are ended. However, the PC is still ON. Shutting down means everything
- 42. Once the computer is completely off, turn off the monitor, printer and AVR. Lastly, disconnect the plug of the AVR from the wall outlet.
- 43. Directions: Enumerate the steps of the following tasks. Write your answers in your whole sheet. a. Connect Peripherals of a PC _________________________________ b. Switch ON the Computer and other Peripheral Devices ____________________________________ c. Switch User Accounts (Windows 10 only) ________________________
- 44. d. Access and Navigate Operating System Features and Functions (Windows 10 only) _____________________________________ e. Close Open Applications (Task Manager Method) ____________________________________ f. Shutdown Computer and Peripheral Devices (Windows 10 only) ________________________________
- 45. What I Have Learned Directions: Read each of the following questions carefully and write your answers in your answer sheet. 1. When do you log off your user account? 2. What is the reason why we only plug the power cable if all other cables are connected? 3. Why should we never force a connection when attaching cables? 4. How helpful is Task Manager to exit or close applications? How is it accessed? 5. How do Log off and shut down differ?
