    The document discusses the main hardware components of a computer system. It describes the central processing unit (CPU) and its variety of shapes and sizes. The motherboard contains circuitry that allows components to communicate. Hard drives store data magnetically on platters. Removable storage devices like floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, and USB drives allow transferring files. Other hardware includes the keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer, modems, scanners, computer case, and expansion cards added to increase capabilities.

    HARDWARES

    Engr. James Francis B. Aguilar


    Hardware
     are the parts of computer itself including the
    Central Processing Unit (CPU) and related
    microchips and micro-circuitry, keyboards,
    monitors, case and drives
    Central Processing Unit

     It refers to the specific chip or processor


     CPUs come in a wild variety of shapes, sizes,
    socket sets, and architectures
    Clock Speed
    • determines on how speed the processor
    perform specific function
    – The first computer operate below 30
    Megahertz
    – The Pentium chips began at 75 MHz in
    the late 1990's
    Motherboard
     contains the circuitry and connections that
    allow the various component to
    communicate with each other
     is actually even more central than the Central
    Processing Unit.
    Hard Drive
     A Hard drive is a series of magnetic platters
    on an axle or spindle that stores tiny bits of
    magnetic metal in patterns that it can read
    later
    HARD DRIVES
    MULTIMEDIA KEYBOARD
    Keyboard
     allows you to input data into your computer.
    It too can be wired or wireless, PS2 or USB.
     The standard keyboard has 101 keys.
    The keyboard shown on
    the left is a "natural"
    keyboard that is split in
    the middle and curved
    to account for the
    shoulder width of the
    person using it.
    STANDARD KEYBOARD
    Removable Storage and/or
    Disk Drives
     disk -is the storage device which contains
    computer files - or software
     drive -is the mechanism that runs the disk.
    Floppy Disk Drive Floppy Disk

    USB Disk
    CD (600-750MB)

    DVD (4.5GB - 9GB)

    Note:
    They have the same diameter and thickness

    Blu-ray Disc (5GB - 50GB)


    Optical Drive
    Optical Drive
     is a method for taking large amounts of
    information and storing it on shiny Disks, like
    CDs and DVDs.
     use lasers to read from this media, and in
    some cases, to write to it.
    Mouse
     The mouse can perform four actions:
     Point:
     Click:
     Double click
     Drag
    PS2 Port
    Violet (Keyboard)
    Green (Mouse)

    Mouse
    Monitor
    • Commonly known as a "screen," the monitor
    gives you a visual display of what your
    computer is up to.
    CRT Monitor

     CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Monitors are built


    very similarly to older (tube) television sets.
    LCD Monitors

     LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Monitors are thin


    and flat. They are light, compact, take up very
    little desk space.
    CRT Monitor

    LCD/ LED
    PRINTER

     The printer takes the information on your


    screen and transfers it to paper or a hard copy
    The three basic types of printer
    • Dot matrix printers work like a typewriter transferring
    ink from a ribbon to paper with a series or 'matrix' of
    tiny pins.

    • Ink jet printers work like dot matrix printers but fires a
    stream of ink from a cartridge directly onto the paper.

    • Laser printers use the same technology as a


    photocopier using heat to transfer toner onto paper.
    Dot matrix printers
    Ink-Jet Printers
    Laser Printers
    Modems
    • is used to translate information transferred
    through telephone lines, cable or line-of-site
    wireless.
    MODEMS
    Scanners
     Scanners allow you to transfer pictures and
    photographs to your computer.
    SCANNERS
    CASE

     The case houses the microchips and circuitry


    that run the computer.
    CASE
    Expansion Cards
     Are components added to computers to
    increase their capability.
