BRIEF INTRODUCTION
A computer works by combining input, storage, processing, and output. All the main
parts of a computer system are involved in one of these four processes.
The process begins when you boot your computer and enter
a command from your keyboard, mouse and other input
devices. The CPU interprets the command and instructs the
hard drive to load the command or program into the memory
and instructs the hard drive to load the command or program
into the memory. Once the data is loaded into the memory,
the CPU is able to access it quickly to retrieve it from the hard
drive and provide results in the output devices like printer or
monitor.
https://homepage.cs.uri.edu/faculty/wolfe/book/images/R04/mb.gi
The components that can be measured in a computer system are CPU, memory and storage
devices. The speed of the CPU tells you how much data it can process in a specific time. The
speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz) while memory/storage devices are any type of hardware
that is capable of storing and retrieving data.
Computer memory / storage can be classified in three ways; primary, secondary and off-line.
Primary
Primary memory is the computer’s main memory, which is directly
accessible by the CPU and often much faster than secondary
storage.
RAM will hold the loaded operating system, plus all running
applications and files.
Secondary
Secondary storage is a non-volatile medium that holds data until it is deleted or overwritten.
It is sometimes referred to as external memory and auxiliary storage. Secondary storage is
where programs and data are kept on a long-term basis.
Examples of secondary memory / storage:
• Hard Disk Drive (HDD) – magnetic storage
5
• Solid State Drive (SSD) – solid state
Off-line
Off-line refers to non-volatile storage that can be easily removed from the computer. This is
often used to transport data and keep backups for protection.
Examples of off-line memory / storage:
• CD, DVD, Blu-ray – optical storage
• USB Flash Drive – solid state
• Removable HDD / SSD
When choosing a memory/storage device we come across to the terms “1 TB hard drive””
or “4GB of RAM”. Identifying the storage capacity is essential in understanding data in a
computer. These is represented in a series of bits (binary digits) or ones and zeroes which
can be measured by converting binary data into decimal data and calculating the capacity of
components.
Electronics/Measuring Instruments
One of the most electronic/measuring instrument used in computer components is the
multimeter most especially when troubleshooting the component and analyzing computer
circuits. These instruments are available in both analog and digital readout form and can be
used to directly measure electrical values of voltage (V), current in milliamperes (mA) or
amperes (A), and resistance in ohms. Therefore, these devices are referred to as VOMs (volt-
ohm-milliammeters) for analog types, or DMMs (digital multimeters) for digital types.
To properly maintain the measuring instrument, you must consider the following:
1. Proper handling of measuring instruments
2. Cleaning the instrument before and after using
3. Proper storage of instruments is carried according to the manufacturer’s specifications
and standard operating procedures.

A piece of information can be handled by any computer or device whose storage space
is large enough to accommodate the binary representation of the piece of information, or
simply data. The measurement of how much data can be stored in a storage device is called
The data storage capacity.
Example: if you have flash drive with 32GB storage capacity, what will be the
equivalent in MB.
1 GB = 1,000 MB
Convert 32 GB to MB = 32 GB = 32 x 1000MB = 32000 MB

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Technical drawings are graphic and technical communication tools that is used by person
who works with technology like engineers, architects, designers, technologists, technicians
and specialized workers.
12
In computer, diagrams like flowcharts is used. This can provide a step-by-step diagram
for mapping out complex situations, such as programming code or troubleshooting problems
with a computer.
One of the most popular computer program you can use to design and create flowcharts
and diagrams is the Microsoft Visio.
Below is an example of a basic flowchart for troubleshooting computer issues. This can be
followed systematically to help determine the cause of computer problem.
13
Flowchart consists of elements, such as the terminator, process, decision, arrow lines, and
connectors.
https://www.zenflowchart.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Untitled-Document-1024x385.png
14
Aside from flowchart there is what we call schematic diagram which is use to represents the
components of a process, device, or other object using abstract, often standardized symbols
and lines. Although schematic diagrams are commonly associated with electrical circuits,
many examples can be found in other industries. In computer, block diagram is also used. It
is It is a diagram showing in schematic form the general arrangement of the parts or
components of a complex system or process.
