Unit 2 TASK 1 Decoding the Jargon
TASK 1: Decoding the Jargon
a. Create a booklet which explain the function of hardware components and identify communication between components. The pages should include photographs and diagrams to illustrate the information you include. (P1)
Components communication
The following diagram shows how components communicate each other’s.
CPU
Also known as the processor, the CPU is the heart of the computer and has two part:
Control Unit
The control unit controls the flow of data through the processor.
Arithmetic/Logic unit (ALU)
The ALU performs mathematical, logical, and decision operations in a computer and is the final processing performed by the processor.
RAM
A computer can only run a program when it is in memory named RAM (Random Access Memory).
List of RAM such as: Double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR SDRAM), Static Random access memory (SRAM) and Dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
Hard drive
A HHD is a data storage device that provides storage and retrieving digital information. Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) is a serial transport protocol used to attach disk drives to server computers.
A solid-state drive (SSD) it contains no actual "disk", it is a data storage device using integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data. It is more quiet when it runs, more resistant to physical shock, has a lower access time and less latency.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the main circuit board inside a computer. A number of major hardware components are plugged into it, including the CPU, hard drive, the BIOS memory and RAM.
The most commonly found and used motherboard is ATX motherboard. It is the standard motherboard which suit to any desktop computer.
Fan
A computer fan is any fan inside, or attached to, a computer case used for active cooling, and may refer to fans that draw cooler air into the case from the outside, expel warm air from inside, or move air across a heat sink to cool a
