2. A motherboard (sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or
logic board, or colloquially, a mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found in computers and
other expandable systems. It holds many of the crucial electronic components of the system, such
as the central processing unit (CPU) and memory, and provides connectors for other
peripherals. Unlike a backplane, a motherboard contains significant sub-systems such as the
processor and other components.
Motherboard specifically refers to a PCB with expansion capability and as the name suggests,
this board is the "mother" of all components attached to it, which often include sound cards, video
cards, network cards, hard drives, or other forms of persistent storage; TV tuner cards, cards
providing extra USB or FireWire slots and a variety of other custom components (the term mainboard
is applied to devices with a single board and no additional expansions or capability, such as
controlling boards in televisions, washing machines and other embedded systems). - Wikipedia

3. A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the
instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and
input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions. The term has been used in the
computer industry at least since the early 1960s.Traditionally, the term "CPU" refers to a processor
and its control unit (CU), distinguishing these core elements of a computer from external components
such as main memory and I/O circuitry.
The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed over the course of their
history, but their fundamental operation remains almost unchanged. Principal components of a
CPU include the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) that performs arithmetic and logic operations,
hardware registers that supply operands to the ALU and store the results of ALU operations, and
a control unit that fetches instructions from memory and "executes" them by directing the
coordinated operations of the ALU, registers and other components Wikipedia

4. Machine Cycle is the steps performed by the computer processor (CPU) for each machine language
instruction received. The machine cycle is a 4 process cycle that includes reading and interpreting the
machine language, executing the code and then storing that code
Fetch - Retrieve an instruction from the memory.

Decode - Translate the retrieved instruction into a series of computer commands.
Execute - Execute the computer commands.
Store - Send and write the results back in memory.

Chapter 2 : Data Representation, Information Coding

Schemes and Number System
Data in a computer , binary digit (bit) and byte

Decimal (Denary), Binary, Hexadecimal
ASCII, EBCDIC and UNICODE
1. The circuits in a computer's processor are made up of billions of transistors. A transistor is a tiny
switch that is activated by the electronic signals it receives. The digits 1 and 0 used in binary reflect
the on and off states of a transistor.
Computers use binary - the digits 0 and 1 - to store data. A binary digit, or bit, is the smallest
unit of data in computing. It is represented by a 0 or a 1. Binary numbers are made up of binary
digits (bits), example of a binary number is 1001
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/guides/zwsbwmn/revision
a. What is bit ?
____________________________________________________________________
b. Why computer recognizes only two digits number 0 and 1?

c. From the above picture, identify where can you find an examples bit and where is it located?

2. Everything on a computer is represented as streams of binary numbers. Audio, images and

characters all look like binary numbers in machine code. These numbers are encoded in different data
formats to give them meaning, example, the 8-bit pattern 01000001 could be the number 65, the
character 'A', or a color in an image.
Bits can be grouped together to make them easier to work with. A group of 8 bits is called a byte.
a. Azlan take a picture by using his camera. Then he transferred the images to the computer.
How does computer represent an images in a computer ?
b. List two (2) of ;
i. 2-bits data __________________
ii. 4-bits data __________________
iii. 8-bits data __________________
c. A group of 8 bits data is called a ___________ and it also representing a __________ or a

____________ in an image.

b. How many bytes use to display the words PEACE MALAYSIA?

5. The binary system on computers uses combinations of 0s and 1s. In everyday life, we use numbers
based on combinations of the digits between 0 and 9. This counting system is known as decimal,
denary or base 10. A number base indicates how many digits are available within a numerical system.
Decimal is known as base 10 because there are ten choices of digits between 0 and 9. For binary
numbers there are only two possible digits available: 0 or 1. The binary system is also known as base
2. All decimal numbers have a binary equivalent and it is possible to convert between decimal and
binary.

15. Computer uses a coding scheme to represent characters. The coding scheme also known as an
Information Coding Scheme. The American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII
(pronounced ASK-ee), coding scheme is the most widely used coding scheme to represent data. The
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code, or EBCDIC (pronounced EB-see-dik), coding
scheme sometimes is used on mainframe computers and high-end servers.

1. Software means computer instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is software,
in contrast to storage devices and display devices which are called hardware. The terms software and
hardware are used as both nouns and adjectives. For example, you can say: "The problem lies in the
software," meaning that there is a problem with the program or data, not with the computer itself. You
can also say: "It is a software problem."
The distinction between software and hardware is sometimes confusing because they are so
integrally linked. Clearly, when you purchase a program, you are buying software. But to buy the
software, you need to buy the disk (hardware) on which the software is recorded. Vangie Beal

i. anything that can be stored electronically is a hardware

2. Software is often divided into two categories. Systems software includes the operating system and all
the utilities that enable the computer to function. Applications software includes programs that do real
work for users. For example, word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall
under the types of applications software.
