capabilities to a computer
PCI & ISA

EXPANSION CARD

Plugged into an
expansion slot
Used to added new
devices or capabilities
to a computer
Card may come in one
of sizes designed to
match standard slot
dimensions

RAM SLOT

memory (RAM) is placed on the
computers motherboard

PORTS & CONNECTORS

A port is the point which a peripheral


attaches to a system unit so that the
peripheral can send data to or receive
information from the computer
Ports have different type of connectors. A
connector join the cable attaches to a
peripheral
One end of cable attaches to the connector on
the system unit and the other end of the cable
attaches to a connector on the peripheral

1. Serial Port

Used to connect a modem, data


acquisition terminal or other serial
devices via slow-speed serial interface
transmitting data a bit a time

2. Parallel Port

2. Parallel Port

Socket on computer used to connect a printer or


other parallel devices
Transferring information more than one bit a time
Developed as an alternative to the slower speed
serial port
Can transfer 8 bits of data (1 byte) simultaneously
through 8 separate lines in a single cable

3. USB Port

3. USB Port

Can connect up to 127 different


peripherals together with a single
connector
Transfers data to a speed of 12
megabits per second
Replacing the serial and peripheral
ports on a PC, at least 4 USB ports
are standard on every computer

4. FireWire port

4. FireWire port

Similar to USB port : can connect


multiple types of device that require
faster data transmission speeds
Cam-coders & other video equipment
use this port to transmit data
Transmit data 400 Megabits per second
Up to 63 devices can be daisy-chained
to one Fire-Wire port
