 LET’S HAVE A QUICK REVIEW!

Directions: Read the statements

carefully.
Raise a if the statement follows the
OSH policies and procedures, otherwise
.
1. Work alone so that nobody can take care of you in case of
emergency.
2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer
before working on it.
3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid
getting electrocuted or accidentally damaging computer
parts.
4. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit.
5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any
part of the computer.
WHAT’S NEW?
On the previous lesson, you have defined and
identified the different storage device.
Can you remember those components?
Do you still remember their definitions?
Let’s enumerate!

Activity 1: Remember Me
Directions: Identify the following components.
 LESSON 1
SELECT MEASURING
INSTRUMENTS
 WHAT IS IT?
◦In this lesson you will learn to
identify the different measuring
instrument and its function in
Computer System Servicing.
Multimeter (VOM) - A multimeter or a multitester,
also known as a VOM, is an electronic measuring
instrument that combines several measurement
functions in one unit. A typical multimeter can
measure voltage (Volt), current (Ampere), and
resistance (Ohm). Analog multimeter uses a micro
ammeter with a moving pointer to display readings.
• Voltmeter - an instrument for measuring electric
potential in volts.
Ex. 220 volts
• Ohmmeter - an instrument for measuring electrical
resistance.
Ex. 20 Ohms
• Milliameter - an instrument for measuring electric
current in amperes.
Ex. 15 amperes
TYPES OF MULTI-
METER OR MULTI-
TESTER
1. Analog Multi-meter or multi-tester
(VOM)

• Use a microammeter with a moving

pointer to display readings.
◦Digital multimeters (DMM, DVOM) - have a
numeric display, and may also show a graphical
bar representing the measured value.
2. Cable Tester
◦ is an electronic device used to verify
the electrical connections in a signal
cable or other wired assembly.
3. Loopback, or loop-back adapter
◦ refers to the routing of electronic signals, digital
data streams, or flows of items back to their source
without intentional processing or modification. This
is primarily a means of testing or measuring the
communications infrastructure.
4. Logic Probe - is a hand-held test probe used for
analyzing and troubleshooting the logical states
(Boolean 0 or 1) of a digital circuit.
◦Logic probe / Digital logic tester can detect lines that
are at the digital or logic high state. The logic probe
will indicate this typically with an LED which is often
colored red. Logic low: The logic probe also is able
to indicate a logic or digital low often colored green.
 Lesson 2
Carry Out Measurements
and Calculations
Definition of Terms
◦Binary – the primary language for computers
that is made up of only two numbers: 0 and 1.
◦Binary Prefix – used to represent the quantity
in terms of byte or bit in computing.
◦Decimal – a base 10 number system.
◦Bit (b) – short for binary digit, either 0
or 1.
◦Byte (B) – a unit of computer
information consisting of eight (8) bits
◦Giga Hertz (GHz) – also known as
clock rate or clock speed of the
processor.
How to Read Binary?
◦Binary is a base-2 number system, where the
number two (2) is raised by an exponent (n-1).
◦The exponent is denoted by the digits’ place (n)
and subtracted by 1, wherein it increases as you
move through each position starting from the
right going to the left.
◦ In binary system, 1 is equal to ON/TRUE and 0 is
OFF/FALSE.
Example:
Convert 19 to binary.
