the system from the more changeble
software or data components.
COMPUTER DISPLAY
SYSTEM

2) A monitor.
 These parts work together to show
any output or display on the
monitor.
KEY BOARD

 The keyboard consists of key


switches.
 A serial keyboard as used in PCs,
send the data ,bit by bit, in a serial
fashion.
 The computer converts the data
into byte.
MOTHERBOARD

 Motherboard or system board is the


biggest circuit card in the complete
computer system.
 It contains microprocessers which
is the main chip on the board.
 If power supply is the heart of a
PCs, the motherboard represents
the arteries, control nervous
system.
 The advantage of that you can
update to a faster processor simply
by replacing the system board.
STORAGE DEVICES

 Storage devices has two types are:


1) Primary storage device.
2) Secondary storage device.
 FDD is used as a primary memory for
storing small data or programs.
 HDD is used as a secondary memory
for storing large data or programs.
PRINTERS

 The printers can be classified into two


categories:
1) Impact printers.
2) Non-impact printers.
 In impact printer the character is formed
by moving a vertical column of pins
across a line and made to srike on to
the ribbon which in turn strikes the
paper.
 In non-impact printers, the print device
does not come in to direct contact with
the paper.
SCANNERS
