Computer Hardware  Internal Hardware (Components)  External Hardware (Peripherals)
Computer Hardware Contents:  Computer Hardware o Input Devices o Output Devices o System Unit o Storage Devices o Communication Devices
Computer Hardware The External Component of the Computer  Input Devices o Any peripheral used to input data into the computer • Keyboard • Mouse • Scanners • Monitor • Joystick
Computer Hardware  Output Devices o Any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of a data from data processing activity • Monitors • LCD projector • Printers
Computer Hardware  Storage devices  This are devices that are use to keep information for future use  They may be internal (e.g. hard disk RAM and ROM , etc.) or external (e.g. flash drive ,flash memory , etc. )
Computer Hardware Primary Storage • Main Memory or Internal Memory • Directly accessible to the CPU • RAM
Computer Hardware Secondary Storage  External Memory or Auxiliary Storage  Not directly accessible to the CPU  I/O Channel is used to access the Secondary Storage
Computer Hardware Secondary Storage  Floppy Disks  Hard Disks  Optical Disks  Magnetic Tape  Flash Memory  Flash Drive
Computer Hardware System Unit  The system unit houses o The motherboard o The power supply o Storage Devices o Other Devices
Computer Hardware Internal Components Of The System Unit
Computer Hardware The Motherboard  Main Circuit Board in the computer that contain ports for • Keyboard , mouse and printers  Installed Processor and memory chip  Expansion slots for additional circuit boards – video sound and communication modem
Computer Hardware The Motherboard
Computer Hardware The Power Supply Unit  A device that converts AC to DC
Computer Hardware Central Processing Unit (CPU)  CPU is the brain of the computer – Follows instruction of software to manipulate data into information o The Control Unit o Arithmetic /Logic Unit(ALU)
Computer Hardware Part Operation of the CPU  Control Unit :Decodes instruction stored in the CPU and carries the instruction  ALU :Performs Arithmetic and Logical Operations in the CPU  Registers: Temporarily stores data during processing by the CPU  Buses: Electrical data roadways in which data travels
Computer Hardware  Behind The System Unit Ports and Connectors – Dedicated Ports
