Unit 25 Assigment 2

Assignment 2 required me to create a report on the following things:


Software Utilities
- Security (Virus Protection and Firewalls)
- Clean up tools (Defragmentation and Internet History)
- Drive Formatting


This report was no longer than 500 words, through creating this report I included screenshots and information relating to the screenshots. Through creating this report I learnt a lot about the software utilities which I knew nothing about. I feel I have expanded my knowledge vastly through this task alone.


The second part of this assignment required me to create a recommendation list to a client called Jane recommending components to purchase to make a PC, along with software to go with it. The client made specific requirements that she needed su

Unit 25

Assignment 1 (Part 1)


This assignment has required me to explain a list of different Internal system unit components as well as peripherals such as output devices, input devices and cables. Lastly I have also been required to explain backing storages which relates to performance, the types of the devices and the devices themselves.


Through the explanation of these components I also explained the use of the component and communication between other internal components too.


Below are the components which I have explained fully in this assignment;

 

Internal system unit components:

• Processors
• Motherboard
• BIOS
• Power Supply
• Fan and heat sink cooling
• Hard drive controllers (choose two of either SATA, PATA IDE and EIDE) *
• Hard drive configuration (master and slave)
• Ports (choose two of either USB, parallel or serial) *
• Internal memory (choose two of either RAM, ROM or  L1/L2/L3 Cache) *
• Specialised cards (choose two of either network or graphic cards) *

Peripherals

• Output devices (choose two of either a monitor, printer or plotter) *
• Input devices (choose two of either a camera or a scanner) *
• Cabling (choose two of either coaxial, optical or twisted pair) *

Backing storage

• Types (choose two of either disks, pen drives, optical media or flash memory cards) *
• Portable and fixed drives

Performance factors (choose one of either data transfer rates or capacity)

Through completing this task I feel I have enhanced my knowledge of some components and gained new knowledge of others. As there was components which was on the least which I knew nothing about, this enabled me to conduct my own research to gain more knowledge of the component so I was able to complete the assignment correctly.


Part 2


This part of the assignment required me to create a presentation about operating system below is what was included within the presentation:


- Comparing two operating systems (Windows and Linux)
- Difference between command line operating systems and GUI operating systems
- Operating system function and services (Peripheral management and security management
- Device drivers
- Operating system features (Ability to customise and cost and support for user)


Within this presentation I was comparing and contrasting systems as well as explaining different functions and services. I learnt a lot through creating this presentation as I have stronger knowledge of these subjects than I did before I started.

Starting Unit 25

Starting on Unit 20

Unit 20 relates to creating a website in code, and as I haven't had no experience in any sort of coding I was advised to go onto Codecademey in order to learn coding.


Through using Codecademy I have learnt the basics of HTML & CSS which will help me through this unit.


However another part of this unit was the planning stage, as I was required to draw up annotated sketches of my website so I have a rough idea of how I want it to look. I created electronic sketches in order to help me through this task.


Once completed the sketches I further created a tree diagram which displayed how different pages interlinked together and what basic information was on each page. Through doing these tasks it will help me start up my website and influence my final design.
