Assembling Of Pentium-4 Computer With Multipurpose Printer And Ups

Computer Engineering | Computer Science | Computer/IT

The assembly of a Pentium-4 computer alongside a multipurpose printer and UPS involves a systematic integration of hardware components and peripherals to create a functional and efficient computing setup. Starting with the central processing unit (CPU), which is the core of the system, one must carefully install the motherboard, ensuring compatibility with the Pentium-4 processor and other essential components such as RAM modules, graphics card, and storage drives like HDD or SSD. Next, connecting the power supply unit (PSU) and ensuring proper cable management is crucial for stable power delivery to all components. Installing the operating system (OS) and necessary drivers further enhances system functionality and compatibility with the printer and UPS. For the multipurpose printer, connecting it via USB or network interface, installing drivers, and configuring settings are essential steps. Similarly, integrating the UPS into the setup involves connecting it to the PSU and configuring backup settings for uninterrupted power supply during outages. Regular maintenance, software updates, and ensuring proper ventilation and cooling are vital for optimal performance and longevity of the assembled system.

ABSTRACT

This project work is assembling of pentium-4 computer with multipurpose printer and ups.

The computer system generally refers to a set of electronics hardware components assembled together for the purpose of performing some basic operation with much regard to speed and accuracy. A lot of people may want to see a computer system as a machine which specializes in taking information from the outside world, process the information according to some pre determined set of instructions and give out the processed information in a given from according to the predetermined instructions. The computer system can be viewed from much perspective depending on the users view. In all this the computer system consists of two parts to carry out its function properly. (1) The hardware component (Ii) The software component. (i) The hardware component in a computer refers to the physical parts that are assembled together to carry out the function. ii) The software refers to the set of instructional codes called programs which the computer depend upon for its effective operation. Another way of describing a computer is in terms of what the computer is capable of doing, we can look at the role of computer n data processing, numerical computation, workstations automatic control systems and electronic systems.

In this particular project is on assembling of a Pentium 4 computer. The Pentium 4 is a type, or class, of computer processor developed and manufactured by Intel. The Pentium 4 processor was a single core processor, used in desktop and laptop computers. The first Pentium 4 processor was codenamed Willamette and was capable of speeds from 1.3 GHz to 2 GHz.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

A Pentium-4 computer is a line of single-core desktop and laptop central processing units (CPUs) introduced by Intel on November 20, 2000 and shipped through August 8, 2008. This processor was the successor to the Pentium III processor.

The first Pentium 4 processor was codenamed Willamette and was capable of speeds from 1.3 GHz to 2 GHz. To use this processor, a motherboard was required to have a Socket 423 CPU socket. Future versions of the Pentium 4 processor included the Northwood and Prescott, using different CPU sockets like Socket 478 and LGA 775. The highest speed Pentium 4 was a Prescott version, clocking in at 3.8 GHz. Laptop versions of the Pentium 4 processor were developed as well, called the Pentium 4-M and Mobile Pentium 4. These processors used less wattage when running and generated less heat, both of which were necessities for use in a laptop.

Hyper-threading technology was also introduced with the Pentium 4 processor. This technology allowed the single-core processor to act and function like two logical processors. This helped to increase computing performance and running more applications on a single computer

A Pentium-4 computer is made up of a case (or chassis) which houses several important internal components, and provides places to connect the external components, including non-peripherals.

Inside the case go the following internal parts:

Power Supply/PSU – power supply unit, converts outlet power, which is alternating current (AC), to direct current (DC) which is required by internal components, as well as providing appropriate voltages and currents for these internal components.

Motherboard/mainboard – As the name indicates, this is the electronic centerpiece of the computer: everything else connects to the motherboard.

Processor/CPU – central processing unit, the “brain” of the computer, most actual computation takes place here.

RAM – random access memory, the “short-term memory” of a computer, used by the CPU to store program instructions and data upon which it is currently operating. Data in RAM is lost when the computer is powered off, thus necessitating a hard drive.

Optional components follow: (Components that depend on the function that will be given to the machine)

Hard Drive/Hard Disk – the “long-term memory” of the computer, used for persistent storage – i.e. the things stored on it remain even when the computer is powered down. The operating system, and all your programs and data are stored here.

Optical Drive – device for reading/writing optical disks. May read CDs, DVDs, or other optical media, depending on the type. It is essential for installing many operating systems and programs. It may be able to write some of these discs, as well. Some people like to have two such drives for copying disks.

Video Card/Graphics Card/GPU – does processing relating to video output. Some motherboards have an “onboard” GPU built in so you don’t need (but may add) a separate video card. Otherwise, you will need a video card. These plug into a slot on the motherboard and provide a place to connect a monitor to your computer.

Sound card

On top of the internal components listed above, you will also need these external components:

Keyboard – for typing on. Many motherboards won’t even boot without a keyboard attached.

Mouse – for pointing and clicking. Unless you chose a text-based operating system, you will likely want one of these.

Monitor – This is where the pretty pictures go. They come in many forms, the most common being CRT and LCD.

These are the parts that a standard PC will use.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The objective of this work is assembling a complete and working Pentium-4 computer – with a multipurpose printer and an interruptible power supply.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The important of carrying out this particular project as a student is that:

This project has exposed me to the function of a computer system, the hardware components. It has made it clear for me to know the function of all internal and external components of the computer system.

The study has exposed me to the history and full meaning of Pentium 4 computer and its capacity and the uniqueness of Pentium 4 computer..
