  1. Chapter 4: Hardware for Educators Allie Poston, Jessica Foster, Jaime Black, and Tiffany Myers

  2. Objectives • Describe the system unit • Define the term bit and describe how a series of bits are used to represent data • Identify the major components of the system unit and explain their functions • Explain how the CPU uses the four steps of a machine cycle to process data • List the characteristics of a keyboard and identify various types of keyboards • Differentiate among the four types of output • Explain differences among various types of printers • Differentiate between storage and memory • Identify types of storage media and devices • Differentiate between CDs and DVDs

  3. System UnitsIt doesn’t matter the size, make, or model all computers and mobile devices have a system unit.

  4. Data RepresentationHow is data represented in a computer? • Binary System • Bits & Bytes • American Standard Code for Information Interchange, ASCII

  5. The Components of the System Unit • The motherboard

  6. The CPUCentral Processing Unit • Processor or Microprocessor • Dual & Multi-Core • Control Unit: Fetching, decoding, executing, storing. • The Arithmetic/Logic Unit, ALU • The System Clock

  7. Memory Memory stores three basic items: Operating system and other system that controls the computer equipment The application software designed to carry out a specific task The data being processed by the application

  8. Memory Expansion Slots and Expansion Cards Removable Memory Devices Port and Connectors

  9. Input- entering memory (4types) • Data-unprocessed • Program-instructions • Command –given • User Responses- questions

  10. What are Input Devices • Keyboard • Pointing Devices • Touchpad • Trackball • Joystick and Wheel • Touch Screen • Optical Scanners • Pen Input • Audio and Video Input • PDAs, smartphones, and media players input

  11. Output • Data that has been processed into a useful form. • Text, Graphics, Audio, and Video

  12. Output devices • Displays- monitors, flat panel, LCD, Plasma • TVs • Printers • Data Projectors • Fax Machines • Whiteboards • Speakers, Headphones, Earphones

  13. Storage Media and Devices

  14. What is Storage? • Refers to the media on which data, information, and instructions are kept, as well as the devices that record and retrieve these items. • Stores data, instructions, and information when they are not being processed.

  15. MEDIA AND DEVICES • Storage medium(media)-(secondary storage) is the physical material on which data, instructions, and information are kept. • Storage devices-the mechanism used to record and retrieve these items to and from a storage medium

  16. Storage Devices • Magnetic disks (p.229) a.k.a. Floppy Disk • Hard Disks (p.230) • Miniature Hard Disks • Portable Hard Disks • Solid State Drives (p.232) • Optical Discs (p.232) • CDs and DVDs (p.232) • CD-ROM, PICTURE CDS, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, & BR • Miniature Mobile Storage Media (p.237) • Flash Memory Cards, USB Flash Drives, & Smart Cards

  17. Optical Discs –CDs and DVDs • CDs and DVDs are one type of optical disc • Types of CDs: • CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW • Types of DVDs: • DVD- ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+RAM, BD • Primarily stores music, movies, digital photographs, and software programs.

  18. CDs and DVDs • CD-ROM-Compact Disc-read only memory • CD-R-Compact Disc-recordable • CD-RW-Compact Disc-rewritable • DVD-ROM-Digital Video-read only memory • DVD-R-Digital Video-recordable • DVD-RW- Digital Video-rewritable • BD-Blue-ray Disc

  19. Facts about Storage Devices • Magnetic Discs have been replaced by the USB flash drive as the preferred portable storage medium. • Hard disks provide computers with a larger capacity of storage mostly for software programs and files. • Miniature Hard Disks are found in devices such as mp3 players, smart phones, and digital cameras. • Portable Hard Disks are external hard disks and removable hard disks. • Solid State Drives (SSD) have several advantages such as being faster, lasting up to 50 years, consuming less power, and generating less heat.

  20. Miniature Mobile Storage Media • Flash Memory Card-used in digital cameras, smart phones, PDAs, photo printers, handheld gaming consoles and navigation devices and many more. • USB flash drives have replaced floppy discs because they have large storage capacities, easier to carry, and preferred among students and other computer users. • Smart Cards-used in storing health care information, student purchases on campus, or even employee attendance.
