Components inside CPU Cabinet:

1) Ports: Provide connections for external devices like keyboards, mice, printers,
etc. Types include Serial (older), USB (universal), and Game (specific to gaming
devices).

2)Storage Devices
 Hard Disk Drive (HDD): Traditional storage, slower but cheaper.
 Solid State Drive (SSD): Faster and more reliable, but more expensive.

3) Fan: A cooling device that helps dissipate heat generated by the components
inside the cabinet, ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating.
4) Processor (CPU): The "brain" of the computer, responsible for executing
instructions and performing calculations. It's the central processing unit that
handles all the computational tasks.

5)Power Supply: Converts the incoming AC power from the wall outlet to DC
power that the components can use. It provides the necessary voltage and current
to operate the system.

6)RAM (Random Access Memory): Temporary storage for data and instructions
that are currently being used by the processor. It's much faster than other storage
devices but loses its data when the power is turned off.

8) Motherboard: The main circuit board that holds and connects all the essential
components of the computer, serving as the backbone of the system.
7)Buses: Data pathways that connect different components on the motherboard,
allowing them to communicate and transfer information. There are several types of
buses, each serving specific functions:
 Data Bus
a. Transfers actual data between the CPU, memory, and other
components.
b. The width of the data bus (e.g., 32-bit or 64-bit) determines how much
data can be transferred at once.
 Address Bus
a) Carries the memory addresses where data is stored or fetched.
b) The width of the address bus determines the maximum amount of
memory the system can access.
 Control Bus
a) Carries control signals that manage the operations of the CPU and
other components.
b) It tells components when to read, write, or transfer data.
 System Bus
a) A collection of all three buses (data, address, and control) that connect
the CPU to the memory and other components.
 Expansion Bus
a) Used for communication between the CPU and expansion cards (e.g.,
graphics or network cards).
b) Examples include PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) and PCIe
(PCI Express).

9) CD/Floppy Disk: Older storage devices for data. CDs use laser technology to
read and write data, while floppy disks use magnetic storage.
10) Coolant: A liquid substance, often water-based, used to cool the processor and
other components, preventing overheating and ensuring stable operation.

11)Capacitor: An electronic component that stores electrical energy, used to


smooth out voltage fluctuations and provide power during brief power outages.

11) Battery: Provides backup power to the system clock and BIOS settings,
ensuring that the system can maintain its time and configuration even when the
main power is off.

12) NIC Card (Network Interface Card): Enables the computer to connect to a
network, such as the internet or a local network, allowing communication and data
transfer with other devices.
