Virtualization:
Use of virtualization software that allows the physical hardware of a single PC to run multiple operating systems simultaneously in virtual machines (VMs)
Virtualization:
Allows you to concurrently operate incompatible operating systems in one hardware environment
Cases

Laptop computers:
Typically weigh less than five pounds Use LCD-screen technology May not possess the same ports as a desktop Many have built-in network adapters
Netbooks:
Have smaller displays, less memory, and less powerful processors

Power Supplies
The power supply is located in a sealed metal box Functions performed by power supply hardware:
Converts 110-volt AC current to DC current for PC Provides clean power feed to PC components
Cooling Systems
A PC generates 75-200 watts of heat Consequences of poor heat dissipation
Mysterious system crashes Premature failure of computer components
Fans circulating air dissipate heat within the case Special considerations for microprocessor
Uses a heat sink attached to dissipate heat May be liquid cooled Temperature should not exceed 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit
Guide to Parallel Operating Systems with Windows 7 and Linux 14
Motherboards
Main circuit board inside a PC case Main components of the motherboard:
Processor socket Memory slots Hard drive connectors Expansion slots
15
Motherboards (continued)
Microprocessor
A CPU (central processing unit) on a chip Electronic engine that contains logic circuits Tasks performed by the microprocessor:
Arithmetic: e.g., adding and subtracting Logic operations; e. g, comparing two numbers Transferring numbers between registers
17
Microprocessor (continued)
Buses
Sets of circuits on the motherboard Responsible for transferring data in the computer Expansion bus: links adapter boards to CPU and memory All buses consist of two parts:
Data bus: transfers actual data Address bus: transfers location information for data
Memory
Electronic holding area for programs and data Types of memory used in your PC:
RAM (random access memory)
Refers to read-and-write memory (typically volatile)
Memory (continued)
21
Firmware
Combination of software and hardware:
Examples: ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM
BIOS is typically placed in a firmware chip PCs have a flash BIOS Setup program shows hardware controlled by BIOS

Input/Output Ports
Also abbreviated as I/O ports Two types of legacy ports:
Serial: used for modems, digitizer tablets, others Parallel: used for printers
USB ports are replacing serial and parallel ports Front of the case: extra USB and FireWire ports Connectors are identified by gender:
Male connector: copper pins exposed; e.g., serial Female connector: holes are present; e.g., parallel
Guide to Parallel Operating Systems with Windows 7 and Linux 24
Serial Ports
Transfer data one bit at a time Legacy hardware RS-232 (recommended standard-232):
Standard interface for transferring data over cables Cable connects device, such as mouse, to serial port
Check for male connectors to identify serial ports Check BIOS settings for allocated ports:
First four ports: COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4
26
Parallel Ports
Transfer multiple bits in parallel Used to connect printers Check for female connector to identify a parallel port PC can support up to three parallel ports:
LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3
27
FireWire
Sometimes called IEEE 1394 Very fast digital input/output system Provides transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps Processes managed while you are shooting video:
Digitization Compression Audio synchronization
Expansion Cards
Printed circuit boards inserted into motherboard Interconnect system components to add functionality Could add more USB ports to a desktop computer The term adapter usually refers to controllers:
Example:
Display adapters (video cards) SCSI (small computer system interface) adapters
30
Video Adapters
Plugged into video adapter boards Provide display capabilities:
Dependent on logic circuitry and display monitor
31
Sound Adapters
Record and play back sound Support digital audio and MIDI formats
MIDI: Musical Instrument Digital Interface
Sound cards:
Provide input ports for microphones Provide output ports for speakers and amplifiers
33
SCSI Controller
Small computer system interface controller Parallel interface used to attach peripherals to PCs Can interface with up to 15 peripheral devices Speeds may exceed speeds of SATA controllers Be aware of multiple variations of SCSI standard:
Two SCSI devices may be incompatible Example: several types of connectors are supported
36
Storage Devices
Mass storage devices:
Retain data even when the computer is turned off
37
Hard Drives
Use rigid rotating platters to read and write on magnetic media Cabled to various controllers: PATA, SATA, SCSI May be connected to USB ports Typical configuration of a hard drive:
Spindle on which platters run at constant speed Read/write heads: one head for each platter face Armature moves the heads radially across the platters as they spin
38
