 Technical Terms

Computer system
- The complete computer comprises the central processing unit (CPU), memory and related electronics (main cabinet), all
the peripheral devices connected to it, and its operating system. Computer systems fall into two broad divisions: clients and
servers. Client machines fall into three categories from low to high end: laptop, desktop, and workstation. Servers range
from small to large: low-end, midrange, and mainframes.

Computer network (or network)

- A collection of computers and other hardware interconnected by communication channels that allow sharing of resources
and information. Where at least one process in one device is able to send/receive data to/from at least one process residing
in a remote device, then the two devices are said to be in a network. It is a group of devices connected to each other.
Networks may be classified into a wide variety of characteristics, such as the medium used to transport the data,
communications protocol used, scale, topology, benefit, and organizational scope.

Configuration
- The makeup of a system; to "configure" is to choose options in order to create a custom system. “Configurability” is a
system’s ability to be changed or customized.

Connector
- Any plug and socket that links two devices together. Although taken for granted and rarely in the limelight, connectors
are a huge industry, and the quality of these components is more critical than most people would imagine.

Display adapter
- A plug-in card in a desktop computer that converts the images created in the computer to the electronic signals required
by the monitor. It determines the maximum resolution, refresh rate, and number of colors that can be displayed, which the
monitor must also be able to support. On many PC motherboards, the display adapter circuits are built into the chipset, and
an accelerated graphics port (AGP) card or peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card is not required.

Expansion board
- A printed circuit board that plugs into an expansion slot and extends the computer's capability to control a peripheral
device. All the boards (cards) that plug into a computer's bus are expansion boards, such as display adapters, disk controllers,
network adapters, and sound cards.

Expansion bus
- An input/output bus typically comprises a series of slots on the motherboard. Expansion boards (cards) are plugged into
the bus. Industry standard architecture (ISA) and PCI are the common expansion buses in a personal computer (PC).

Graphical User Interface

- A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons, and a mouse. The ability to resize application
windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. GUIs
have become the standard way users interact with a computer.

LAN local area network)

- A computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office
building using network media. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include
their usually higher data-transfer rates, smaller geographic area, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

Motherboard
- Also called the “system board,” it is the main printed circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets that
accept additional boards. In a desktop computer, the motherboard contains the CPU, chipset, PCI bus slots, AGP slot,
memory sockets, and controller circuits for the keyboard, mouse, disks, and printer. It may also have built-in controllers for
modem, sound, display and network, obviating the need to plug in a card.

Operating system
- The master control program that runs the computer; the first program loaded when the computer is turned on, its main
part, the “kernel,” resides in memory at all times. The operating system sets the standards for all application programs that
run in the computer. The applications “talk to” the operating system for all user interfaces and file management operations.

Peripheral
- Any hardware device connected to a computer, such as a monitor, keyboard, printer, disk, tape, graphics tablet, scanner,
joy stick, paddle, or mouse

Server
- A computer system in a network that is shared by multiple users. Servers come in all sizes from x86-based PCs to IBM
mainframes. A server may have a keyboard, monitor and mouse directly attached, or one keyboard, monitor and mouse
may connect to any number of servers via a KVM switch. Servers may be also be accessed only through a network
connection as well.

Sound card
- Also called a “sound board” or “audio adapter,” it is a computer expansion board that records and plays back sound,
providing inputs from a microphone or other sound source and outputs to speakers or an external amplifier. The de facto
standard for sound card compatibility in PCs is Creative Labs’ Sound Blaster.

User Interface
- All graphics based today, the user interface includes the windows, menus and method of interaction between you and the
computer. Prior to the Mac, Windows, and Motif (UNIX) interfaces, all interaction was based on commands entered by the
user. Operating systems may support optional interfaces and allow a new shell, or skin, to be used instead.

Virus
- Software used to infect a computer; after the virus code is written, it is buried within an existing program. Once that
program is executed, the virus code is activated and attaches copies of itself to other programs in the system. Infected
programs copy the virus to other programs.

WAN (wide area network)

- A network that covers a broad area (i.e., any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or
national boundaries) using private or public network transports.

 INFORMATION SHEET 1.1
Characteristics of Materials Used in Specific Projects

Objective: In this topic, you must relate material properties to product and process quality. Matutunan mo dito kung
paano pumili ng magandang klase ng mga materyales para sa isang proyekto na iyong isasagawa.

These are the factors that must be taken into consideration when choosing the right material for their components and
assemblies:

1. Selection of material (Brand Consideration)

Material selection is one of the most common tasks for design engineering. The ability to
assess the material’s impact on the performance of a product is crucial for reliable
performance. Napakalaking konsiderasyon ang pagpili ng mga kilalang brand ng mga
materyales na available sa market. Examples are the name HP for printer and Intel for some
computer hardware.
2. Testing of material (Trial and error method)
The testing of material properties is widely understood to be the key to obtaining data for a
project, performing failure analysis, or understanding material interactions. Halimbawa,
kapag napuno ng laman ang isang hard disk drive, masisira na ba ito? Mahalagang malaman
natin kung ano ang mga posibleng maging problema ng isang materyales na ating gagamitin.
Halimbawa, subukan mong ikabit sa iba’t ibang system unit ang hard disk drive upang
masubukan kung ito ay compatible sa iba’t ibang system units.
3. Cost of material (High cost = Good quality vs Low cost = Poor quality)
Marahil ito ang isa sa unang tinitingnan naten sa pagbili ng mga materyales. The amount
may vary but never taken for granted the quality and the reliability of the material. Kailangan
bang tayo ay makatipid at kalimutan ang magandang kalidad ng isang materyales? Will you
buy material which you cannot afford? People look for places which can meet their standards
and right cost for materials to buy.

Tandaan, sa pagpili ng mga materyales ay dapat mong

malaman kung anong brand at klase ang talagang
makakatulong sayo upang tumagal ang panahon na
magagamit mo ang iyong computer at iba pang
kagamitan. Hindi dahil mababa ang presyo ng isang
materyales ay kaagad na natin itong gagamitin. Sa
bandang huli, mas malaki pa ang iyong magagastos
kapag naapektuhan ang iyong buong proyekto o mga
kagamitan.

Bago isagawa ang pagpaplano sa pagbuo ng isang computer, mabuti na unawain

muna naten ang system requirements ng isang materyales para sa bubuoin
nateng computer o ang kanilang compatibility options.
Maaaring tingnan sa internet ang link sa ibaba para sa iba pang impormasyon
ukol sa computer system requirements.

The characteristic of the materials to be used for specific project must be:
Page

CSS-NC2 Module for Common Competencies Page 4

 1. Good Quality - This is the most important factor when choosing materials to buy. Products with good quality are
long-lasting and safe to use because you know that it follows certain standards
before being commercialized.
(make sure na merong quality control passed label ang mga
materyales.)

2. Reliable - It means that you can be sure that it will perform its function well, will operate safely and will give the
best it could give. (maaaring tingnan at pakinggan ang mga feedback ng ibang user ng isang materyales na bibilhin)

3. Suitable for the application/purposes - Choose the materials

which are very necessary to make the project possible.
Making a list of products/materials to buy is a good trait of a
wise consumer.
(bilhin lamang kung ano ang kailangan depende sa sitwasyon ng
paggamit ng mga materyales)

4. Low cost - It doesn’t mean that you will choose for the less expensive one and exclude the quality. Low cost
means you can afford to buy the materials without hurting your pocket and assure of better quality.
(kung kaya naming bilhin ay bilhin na. Do not settle for less pagdating sa pagpili ng materyales dahil kalidad pa rin ang pinaka-
importante)

Safe Workplace Procedures (SWP)

Objective: After studying and understanding how good your materials and equipment will become, you should know
the good quality of your workplace and work attitude as well. You must apply the safe working procedures in both
classroom and to your future industry workplace. You will also understand the different factors that affects the good
quality of a certain product, work and services provided in a workplace.

Workplace Procedure is a set of written instructions that identifies the health and safety issues that may arise from the
jobs and tasks that make up a system of work.

A safe working procedure should be written when:

• designing a new job or task (magsisimula ng isang gawain)
• changing a job or task (magsisimula o magpapalit na ng gawain)
• introducing new equipment (gagamit ng bagong instrumento sa paggawa)
• reviewing a procedure when problems have been identified, example from an
accident or incident investigation (mga detalye ng isang hindi inaasahang
pangyayari o problemang naganap at naranasan sa paggawa)

The safe working procedure should identify:

• the tasks that are to be undertaken that pose risks
• the equipment to be used in these tasks
• the control measures that have been formulated for a given task
• any training or qualification needed to undertake the task
• the personal protective equipment to be worn
• action to be undertaken to address safety issues that may arise while undertaking
the task

Brief History of OH&S

From the year 1802 onwards, the research and regulation of

occupational safety and health are a relatively recent
phenomenon. As labor movements arose in response to worker
concerns in the wake of the industrial revolution, worker's health
entered consideration as a labor-related issue.
As of now, many countries' health and safety at work
arrangements are currently focused on protection against the spread of COVID-19.

 INFORMATION SHEET 1.4
Electro-static Discharge (ESD)

Objective: In accordance with the topic about OH&S, you must avoid damaging and destroying the computer
components and other electronic devices by applying the proper control and management procedures of ESD.

Electrostatic discharge - is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an
electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. A buildup of static electricity can be
caused by tribo-charging or by electrostatic induction.
This can cause a device to malfunction at any moment of its lifespan.

• Human body is electrically conductive because of the electrons flow inside us.
• The electricity produced by our bodies is what allows synapses signals (to pass an electrical or chemical signal to
another neuron or to the target effector cell) for heartbeats to occur.
• Electro Static Discharge (ESD) is one of the few things you can do to damage or destroy your computer or parts
in your computer.

What are some tips for preventing electrostatic discharge damage?

The components inside the computer are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), also known as
static electricity. Electrostatic discharge can cause irreparable damage to the computer. However, if you follow the
sequential procedure for grounding and take note of the handling precautions, you can avoid the possibility of such
damage occurring.
Sequential Procedures
1. Wear a grounding wrist strap if one is available. These are available
at most electronic stores.
2. Make a diagram that notes where the cables connect to the back of
the computer.
3. Turn off the computer.
4. Remove most of the external device cables, except for the power
cable.
5. If applicable, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the case cover
screws.
6. Remove the case cover.
7. Unplug the power cable.
17

Handling Precautions
Page

CSS-NC2 Module for Common Competencies

 1. If installing a new component, remove the part from its anti-static bag only when you are ready to use it. Do not
lay-down the part on the outside of the anti-static bag, as only the inside of the bag provides anti-static protection.
2. Never slide cards or other parts over any surface. Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and Styrofoam in
the work area.
3. Always hold cards by the edges and the metal mounting bracket. Avoid touching the components on the cards and
the edge connectors that connect to expansion slots.
