TOPIC 1: Assessing Quality
In computer systems servicing, you will be
handling a lot of equipment. You will be purchasing
them, assembling and disassembling, repairing, or
even maintaining them!
That is why it is important to assess the quality of
the materials you will be receiving especially when
you are purchasing from a supplier.
Here are some standard protocols in checking the
materials and goods you will be receiving in work.
TOPIC 2:
Documentation

Here are
some samples of log
reports and
documentation
assessed by a quality
checker.
Take note however,
that not all
organizations will
make use of the same
form.
TOPIC 3: Inventory Form
Here is an example of an inventory form.

You will be encountering this after

disassembling computers. You will be listing
down the PC specifications in this form.
You can write the general description of
what the item is under Items while you can
write the specifications or necessary
description below Description/Specification.
Anything else that you think are important
notes should be written on the Remarks
column.
UNIT 2: Understanding Basic Computer Concepts

◦ At the end of this unit, you should be able to:

• Differentiate the different types of computers;

• Enumerate the three fundamental elements of a computer;

• Identify the different storage, processing, and Input/Output devices of a computer,

• Describe each of the components of the system unit; and
• Differentiate the hand tools and equipment used in computer servicing.
LESSON 1: Understanding the Computer
Introduction
TOPIC 1: The Computer

◦ In technical terms, the computer is a device that accepts

information in the form of digitalized data, and manipulates it for
some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how
the data is to be processed.

◦ TOPIC 2: The System Unit

◦ The System Unit is the overall structure that houses the processor, memory, and electronic components of the computer that
are used to process data. All input and output devices are connected into the system unit. The system unit is housed by what is
known as system case or computer case. It holds and protects most components of a computer.
◦ The Computer Case contains the framework to support and enclose internal components of the computer. It helps to prevent
damage from static electricity. It typically made up of plastic, steel, and aluminum which are available in a variety of styles.
The size and layout of a case is called a form factor. It is also designed to keep internal components cool by using airflow
vents and cooling fans.
◦ Computer cases are referred to in a number of ways: Computer chassis, Cabinet, Tower, Box and Housing.
The following are the basic connector you can see in a power supply:
•ATX 24 pin main power connector is the standard motherboard power connector used in nearly
every computer.

•SATA 15 pin power supply connector is one of several standard peripheral power connectors.
SATA power connectors only connect to SATA drives like hard drives and optical drives. SATA
power connectors do not work with older PATA devices.

•Molex 4 pin power supply connector is a standard peripheral power connector. Molex power
connectors connect to many different kinds of internal peripherals including PATA hard drives and
optical drives, some video cards, and even some other devices.

•Floppy drive 4 pin power supply connector is the standard floppy drive power connector. The
floppy power connector, also called a Berg connector or Mini-Molex connector, is included in
even the newest power supplies even though floppy drives are becoming obsolete.

•ATX 4 pin power supply connector is a standard motherboard power connector used to provide
+12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator. This small connector usually attaches to the
motherboard near the CPU.

•ATX 6 pin power supply connector is a motherboard power connector used to provide +12 VDC
to the processor voltage regulator but the 4-pin variety is the more commonly used connector. This
small connector usually attaches to the motherboard near the CPU.
◦ There are several components that are attached to the motherboard. These include:
◦ 1. Chip – small piece of semiconducting material, where more integrated circuits are embedded. They have standard-sized pin
connectors that allows them to be attached to the motherboard.
◦ 2. Bus - an electrical path that enables data flow between various system components.
◦ 3. Integrated Circuit (IC) – contains microscopic pathways that carry electric current. The IC contains millions of elements such
as resistors, capacitators, and transistors. Many different kinds of chips are located in the motherboard
◦ 4. Microprocessor – this is the central processing unit on a chip.

◦ Different variety of chip packages:

◦ 1. Dual Inline Package (DIP) – this has two parallel rows of pints that attach the chip package to the circuit board
◦ 2. Pin Grid Array (PGA) – holds a larger number of pins because the pins are mounted on the surface of the package.
◦ 3. Flip Chip-PGA (CF-PGA) Package – higher performance PGA packaging that places the chip on the opposite sides of the pins.
◦ 4. Single Edge Contact (SEC) Cartridge – does not use pins but connects to one of the edges in the motherboard.
