  9. The System Unit • Electronic circuitry within the computer cabinet

  10. The System Unit • Two general parts • Central Processing Unit (CPU) - an integrated micro-circuit that translates data into information

  11. The CPU consists of : • Control Unit (CU) • Arithmetic and Logical Unit (ALU) • Some Registers.

  12. The Control Unit (CU) within a CPU coordinates all activities of the computer by determining which operations to perform and in what order to carry them out. The CU transmits coordinating control signals to other computer components.

  13. The ALU consists of electronic circuitry to perform arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), logical operations (and, or, not, …) and to make some comparisons (less-than, equal, … etc.)

  14. The System Unit • Two general parts • Memory - referred to as primary storage or random access memory (RAM), it temporarily holds data and programs for use during processing (volatile)

  15. RAM RAM consists of locations or cells. Each cell has a unique address which distinguishes it from other cells.

  16. Main Memory Memory locations Address 1 2 3 n Memory Cell

  17. ROM: Read Only Memory ROM is part of memory. • Programmed at manufacturing time • Its contents cannot be changed by users • It is a permanent store

  18. Secondary Storage • Stores data and programs permanently: its retained after the power is turned off • Located outside the CPU, but most often contained in the system cabinet

  19. Three Kinds of Disk Drives

  20. Common Secondary Media • Diskettes • Data represented as magnetic spots on removable flexible plastic disks • Most common size is 3 1/2 inches, in a rigid plastic case • Disk drive holds the diskette, reads or retrieves the data and writes or stores data

  21. Common Secondary Media • Hard drive • Data is represented magnetically as with diskettes • Normally more than one rigid platter in a sealed unit • These disks are not removable • Significantly more capacity and faster operating than diskettes

  22. Output Devices • Pieces of equipment that translate the processed information from the CPU into a form that humans can understand.

  23. Output Devices • Monitors • Printers • Dot matrix printers • Ink jet printers • Laser printers • Sound plasters • Controlling other devices

  24. Communications Devices • Hardware that sends and receives data and programs from one computer or secondary storage device to another.

  25. Units of Measurements • Bit (Binary Digit)(takes two values: 1 or 0) • Byte = 8 bits • KB (Kilo-byte) = 1024 bytes • MB (mega-byte) = 1024 KB • GB (giga-byte) = 1024 MB • TB (Tera-byte) = 1024 GB

  26. Connectivity The computer’s capability to send and receive information from other locations.

  27. Connectivity Systems of interconnected computers, known as networks, are the sources of distant information.

  28. Connectivity Systems of interconnected computers, known as networks, are the sources of distant information. The National Information Infrastructure (NII) is currently the Internet.

  29. Computer Viruses A computer virus is an application program designed and written to destroy other programs. - It has the ability to: • Link itself to other programs • Copy itself (it looks as if it repeats itself)

  30. Examples of Viruses • Monkes • ABC • Crabs • CIH

  31. How do you know if you have a virus? • Lack of storage capability • Decrease in the speed of executing programs • Unexpected error messages • Halting the system

  32. Protection against Computer Viruses • Buy original copies of software only • Make backups of your files • Do not let any body to insert a diskette in your computer unless you are sure they do not have any viruses. • Write-protect your disks • Use anti-virus programs
