Computer Hardware
Computer Hardware
is the physical components of the
computer, Refers to the tangible
(things you can touch) components
of a computer system.
Hardware components are further
divided into three groups.
1. Input Devices
2. Output Devices
3. System Unit
An input device lets you communicate with a computer. You can
use input devices to enter information and issue commands.
An output device displays information on a screen, creates
printed copies or generates sound.
The system unit is the part of the computer which is responsible
for accepting and processing the data brought in by the input
devices
INPUT DEVICE
OUTPUT DEVICE
SYSTEM UNIT
INPUT
DEVICES
Is a standard input device of most computers.
Used to type data into the computer.
Keyboard
Mouse
is a hand-clicked
device used for
pointing and moving
objects
Joystick
is an input device which
is commonly used for
computer games
Track Ball
Light Pen
basically an upside
down mouse
a device used to draw,
write, or issue
commands when it
touches a specially
designed screen
A scanner allows you to
scan documents,
pictures, or graphics
and view them on the
computer.
Scanner
Microphone
Used to input sound
into a computer
OUTPUT
DEVICES
Printers
an output device that produces
text and graphics on paper
Inkjet Printer Laser Printer Impact Printer
Monitor
The monitor is used to provide soft
copy output.
Play sounds transmitted
as electrical signals from
the sound card.
Speaker
is a type of video projector
for displaying video,
images or computer data
on a screen or other flat
surface
Multimedia Projector
SYSTEM
UNIT
Motherboard
The motherboard is the
main circuit board of a
microcomputer. It is
also known as the
mainboard or system
board
is a storage device that store
billons of characters of data on a
nonremovable disk
hard disk
CPU
The central processing unit
carries out each instruction of
the program in sequence, to
perform the basic arithmetical,
logical, and input/output
operations of the system
it supplies power from the power
supply to the drive. The power cables are
red, yellow and black. The yellow wire
furnishes 12 volts of power, the red wire
furnishes 5 volts of power, the two black
wire are ground wire for each.
Power Supply
The memory in a computer system is of two
fundamental types: The main/primary memory and
the secondary memory.
Memory
Primary Memory Secondary Memory
RAM HDD
Floppy Disk Drive
Used to stores and
retrieves
information on a
floppy disk.
CD/DVD Drive
is a device that reads
information stored on a
compact disc, it is a
storage device that use
laser technology to read
data from optical disks.
Modem
is a board that
is plugged into
a computer to
give it display
capabilities.
enhances the
computers sound
generating
capabilities by
allowing sound to be
output through
speakers.
A modem is a
device that sends
and receives data
over telephone
lines to and from
computers.
