The following table lists some examples of devices that are used to
put information into a computer:
Device Description
Keyboard The primary input device for a computer,
allowing users to type information just as they
once did on a typewriter.
Mouse Used with graphical interface environments to
point to and select objects on the system's
monitor. Can be purchased in a variety of
sizes, shapes, and configurations.
Scanner Converts printed or photographic information
to digital information that can be used by the
computer. Works similar to the scanning
process of a photocopy machine.
Microphone Works like the microphone on a tape
recorder. Allows input of voice or music to be
converted to digital information and saved to a
file.
COMPONENTS OF A COMPUTER
In this lesson, we take a look at the different components of a computer
system. CD-ROM/DVD drive Compact disc–read only memory: stores large
amounts of data on a CD that can be read by
After this lesson, you will be able to a computer.
Define the primary components that make up a computer
As you might expect, the components of a computer reflect the function of the
machine—specifically, the three stages of computing, as outlined in Lesson 1.
Let's examine the components.
Processing
The central processing unit (CPU) is the heart and brain of the
computer. This one component, or "chip," is responsible for all primary number
crunching and data management. It is truly the centrepiece of any computer.
It is so important that whole generations of computer technology are based
and measured on each "new and improved" version of the CPU.
When we refer to the CPU, we are usually speaking of the processor.
However, the CPU requires several other components that support it with the
management of data to operate. These components, when working in
harmony, make up the primary elements of the PC we know today. The
following table lists these fundamental support components.
Component Description
Motherboard The main circuit board of the computer.

metal box. The motherboard contains all

keeps the date and time.
Chip Set A group of computer chips or integrated
circuits (ICs) that, when working together,
manage and control the computer
system. This set includes the CPU and
other chips that control the flow of data
throughout the system.
Battery Protects unique information about the
setup of the computer against loss when

data from all the devices in the computer.
Memory Stores temporary information (in the form
of data bits) that the CPU and software
need to keep running.
Other external storage devices include Iomega Zip drives, which allow users
Input and Output to store 100 MB or 250 MB of data on a single Zip disk.
Some devices handle both input and output functions. These devices
are called input/output (I/O) devices, a term you will encounter quite often. Other Computer Parts and Accessories

STANDARD COMPUTER BOX LAYOUT switches. Following the decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction
via teletype-style keyboards became the main input device for computers.
Despite the development of alternative input devices, such as
the mouse,touchscreen, pen devices, character recognition and voice
recognition, the keyboard remains the most commonly used and most versatile
device used for direct (human) input into computers.
1. COMPUTER MOUSE
Wireless Mouse / USB Interface Type Optical PS2 Interface Type
In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting
two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse
consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more
buttons. (Although traditionally a button is typically round or square, modern
mice have spring-loaded regions of their top surface that operate switches

is 650MB (megabytes). A single CD-ROM has the storage capacity of
700 floppy disks, enough memory to store about 300,000text pages.
Connectivity and communication protocols
CD-ROMs are stamped by the vendor, and once stamped, they cannot be
erased and filled with new data. To read a CD, you need a CD-ROM player.
CD-ROMs are particularly well-suited to information that requires large storage
capacity. This includes large software applications that support color,graphics,
sound, and especially video.

A hard disk drive (HDD) is a non-volatile, random access digital data storage
device. Main storages devices on computer that store data, files, software on
computer. It features rotating rigid platters on a motor-driven spindle within a
protective enclosure. Data ismagnetically read from and written to the platter
by read/write heads that float on a film of air above the platters. 2. SCSI
A hard disk drive normally has one head per platter with all heads mounted on
common rack. The hard disk spins the disk as 3600, 5400, and up to 7200 or

computer the faster the computer will operate.
There are various types of RAM, they vary becuase of the increasing in
processor speeds and the need for the RAM to keep up. You can get RAM

hold. This range from 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB,
256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB. Nowadays you will normally only find RAM in sizes
of 128MB or above.
Currently, there are at least four types: Different RAM Types and its uses

ECC (Error Correcting Code) much as how much of it you've got, but using
EDO (Extended Data Output) plain old SDRAM memory today will slow you
SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) down. There are three main types of RAM:
SO-DIMM memory (Laptop Memory SDRAM, DDR and Rambus DRAM.
DIMMs vs. RIMMs DRAM comes in two major form factors: DIMMs and
RIMMS. DIMMs are 64-bit components, but if used in a motherboard with a Crucial = Compatibility and Warranty
dual-channel configuration (like with an Nvidia nForce chipset) you must pair
them to get maximum performance. So far there aren't many DDR chipset that
use dual-channels. Typically, if you want to add 512 MB of DIMM memory to
your machine, you just pop in a 512 MB DIMM if you've got an available slot.
DIMMs for SDRAM and DDR are different, and not physically compatible.
SDRAM DIMMs have 168-pins and run at 3.3 volts, while DDR DIMMs have
184-pins and run at 2.5 volts.
RIMMs use only a 16-bit interface but run at higher speeds than DDR. To get
maximum performance, Intel RDRAM chipsets require the use of RIMMs in
pairs over a dual-channel 32-bit interface. You have to plan more when
upgrading and purchasing RDRAM.
Types of Memory
Pretty much every new laptop on the market should use DDR3 memory now.
It is still possible to find some older netbooks or laptops on the market that use Kingston= Stable and warranty/RMA is fast
DDR2 but it is best to avoide them now. In addition to the type of memory
installed in the laptop, the speed of the memory can also make a difference in
the performance. When comparing laptops, be sure to check both of these
pieces of information to determine how they may impact performance.
There are two ways that the memory speeds can be designated. The first is
by the memory type and its clock rating, like DDR3 1066. The other method is
by listing the type along with the bandwidth. In the case the same DDR3
memory would be listed as PC3-8500 memory.
