Assembling and Testing a Computer System

Assembling and testing a computer system
Abstract
A computer is a combination of hardware and software. Sometimes, people who use
computers don't even know what the computer parts are. But knowing the components of a
computer is a must. To run a computer, there must be an operating system. Cloning a computer
system is essential in the field of computing. The resources of a computer system include
processors, memory, files, and I/O devices. Nowadays, the use of computer systems has
increased rapidly. Currently, various types of computers with different capacities and prices can
be on the market. But nowadays, most people prefer to assemble the computer system
according to their needs without buying a new computer. I see the main reason for that is that
they can get the things they need of good quality. Various platforms were researched to make
this report. Information about how to assemble and test a computer system has presented in
this report.

Introduction
Computers in modern society have touched our daily lives and the way we work, study
or play. In this current situation, it is almost impossible for a person to spend a single day
without a computer. There are different types of computers in the market, but people mainly
use desktop computers. The main reason is that we can create as we want. Assembling a
computer system provides great satisfaction to the user and is also beneficial. In the same way,
you can get a new experience.
A computer system that we can use consists of both hardware and software. The
computer system must be directed to perform various user-specified operations. In such cases,
the computer system needs a program that controls the computer hardware. These are called
software. Different computer systems include mainframe computers, supercomputers,
microcomputers, and minicomputers. A mainframe computer is a giant computer that is a
powerhouse. It has a massive memory and high-speed processing power. Often such large
computers are used for large business, scientific or military applications, and it can store large
amounts of data and perform many complex processes.
The computer hardware of a computer includes the central processing unit (CPU), input
devices, output devices, and network equipment. In this report I have discussed the assembly
and testing of computer systems. How to improve system speed and other possible steps for
improvement are discussed.

The Function of computer systems in different environments
Imaginary scenario
You are an IT technician in a company. The company started its operations in 2018 and has
been developing very rapidly. The company is planning to conduct a training program on how
to assemble and test a computer system. So the company manager has asked you to explain
how to assemble and test a computer system. The company manager has also asked you to
make a report on the training program.
