CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Assembling a computer system with an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) gives maximum satisfaction to the user and a very rewarding experience. to Assembles Desktop PC (Personal Computer) the users/builders of such systems are probably contemplating building or assembling a computer instead of purchasing one pre-built or pre-assembled. An uninterruptible power supply, also uninterruptible power source is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or emergency power system or standby generator in that it will provide near-instantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries, super capacitors, or flywheels.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Early desktop computer uses of microprocessors, a computer that could fit on a desk was considered remarkably small; the type of computers most commonly used were minicomputers, which were themselves desk-sized. Early computers took up the space of a whole room. Minicomputers generally fit into one or a few refrigerator-sized racks.
Assembling the computer system on this research embarks on gathering different components/devices of computer system together in other to make a well functioning computer system available to the computer laboratory and to enable students to be more familiar to each components of the computer system. Thus, this project will cover all the process of purchasing components, coupling, and the process of installing the OS (operating system) into the computer system.
The very first "programmable calculator/computer" was marketed in the second half of the 1960s, starting with the Italian machinery Programma 101 (1965) computer at typewriter size. More desktop models were introduced in 1971, leading to a model programmable in BASIC in 1972. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, desktop computers became the predominant type, the most popular being the IBM PC and its clones, followed by the Apple Macintosh, with the third-placed Commodore Amiga having some success in the mid- 1980s but declining by the early 1990s.
Early personal computers, like the original IBM Personal Computer, were enclosed in a "desktop case", horizontally oriented to have the display screen placed on top, thus saving space on the user's actual desk, although these cases had to be sturdy enough to support the weight of CRT displays that were widespread at the time. Over the course of the 1990s, desktop cases gradually became less common than the more-accessible tower cases that may be located on the floor under or beside a desk rather than on a desk. Creative Technology's Sound Blaster series were a de facto standard for sound cards in desktop PCs during the 1990s until the early 2000s, when they were reduced to a niche product, as OEM desktop PCs came with sound boards integrated directly onto the motherboard (Pingdom, 2013; Friedman, 2005).
Therefore, in Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to know the procedure used in assembling of desktop computer with built-in uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
1.3 Statement of Problems
