output
As you might expect, the components of a
computer reflect the function of the machine—specifically, the three stages
of computing, as outlined in Lesson 1. Let's examine the components.
Input Devices
The following table lists some examples of devices that are used to put
information into a computer:

14
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Keyboard The primary input device for a computer, allowing
users to type information just as they once did on a
typewriter.
Mouse Used with graphical interface environments to

point to and select objects on the system's
monitor. Can be purchased in a variety of sizes,
shapes, and configurations.
Scanner Converts printed or photographic information to

digital information that can be used by the
computer. Works similar to the scanning process
of a photocopy machine.
Microphone Works like the microphone on a tape recorder.

Allows input of voice or music to be converted to
digital information and saved to a file.
CD-ROM/DVD drive Compact disc–read only memory: stores large

amounts of data on a CD that can be read by a
computer.
Processing
The central processing unit (CPU) is the heart and brain of the computer.
This one component, or "chip," is responsible for all primary number
crunching and data management. It is truly the center piece of any
computer. It is so important that whole generations of computer technology
are based and measured on each "new and improved" version of the CPU.
When we refer to the CPU, we are usually speaking of the processor.
However, the CPU requires several other components that support it with
the management of data to operate. These components, when working in
harmony, make up the primary elements of the PC we know today. The
following table lists these fundamental support components.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
15
Motherboard The main circuit board of the computer. The large
circuit board found inside the computer. Without it, a
computer is just a metal box. The motherboard
contains all the remaining items in this table; for all
practical purposes, it is the computer.
Chip Set A group of computer chips or integrated circuits

(ICs) that, when working together, manage and
control the computer system. This set includes the
CPU and other chips that control the flow of data
throughout the system.
Data Bus A group of parallel conductors (circuit traces) found

on the motherboard and used by the CPU to send
and receive data from all the devices in the
computer.
Address Bus A group of parallel conductors (circuit traces) found

on the motherboard and used by the CPU to
"address" memory locations. Determines which
information is sent to, or received from, the data
bus. An address bus is a computer bus (a series of
lines connecting two or more devices) that is used
to specify a physical address. When a processor or
DMA-enabled device needs to read or write to a
memory location, it specifies that memory location
on the address bus (the value to be read or written
is sent on the data bus).
Expansion Slots
Specialized sockets that allow additional devices

called expansion cards or, less commonly, circuit
boards, to be attached to the motherboard. Used to
expand or customize a computer, they are
extensions of the computer's bus system.
Clock Establishes the maximum speed at which the

processor can execute commands. Not to be
confused with the clock that keeps the date and

16
time.
Battery Protects unique information about the setup of the

computer against loss when electrical power fails or
is turned off. Also maintains the external date and
time (not to be confused with the CPU's clock).
Memory Stores temporary information (in the form of data

bits) that the CPU and software need to keep
running.
Input and Output

Some devices handle both input and output functions. These devices are
called input/output (I/O) devices, a term you will encounter quite often.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Floppy Disk Drive Mechanism for reading and writing to low-capacity,
removable, magnetic disks. Used to store and easily
transport information.
Hard Disk Drive High-capacity internal (and sometimes external)

magnetic disks for storing data and program files.
Also called fixed disks.
Modem Converts computer data to information that can be

transmitted over telephone wires and cable lines.
Allows communication between computers over long
and short distances.
An expansion card that allows several computers to

connect to each other and share information and
Network Card programs. Also called network interface card (NIC).

17
CD Recorder Also called CD-R. You can copy data to a CD with
this device, but you can only write to a section of the
disc once. Variations on this type of device include
compact disc–rewritable (CD-RW) drives. These
drives allow you to read, write, and overwrite a
special CD-ROM-type disc.
Tape Drive Large-capacity, magnetic, data storage devices.
Ideal for backup and retrieval of large amounts of
data. Works like a tape recorder and saves
information in a linear format.
Other external storage devices include Iomega Zip drives, which allow users
to store 100 MB or 250 MB of data on a single Zip disk.
Other Computer Parts and Accessories

The following table lists some examples of cable that are used to
communicate to a system.
AVR (Automatic Voltage A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator
Regulator) designed to automatically maintain a constant
voltage level.
It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or
passive or active electronic components.
Depending on the design, it may be used to
regulate one or more AC or DC voltages.
UPS (Uninterruptible An uninterruptible power supply, also uninterruptible
Power Supply) power source, UPS or battery/flywheel backup, is an
electrical apparatus that provides emergency power
to a load when the input power source, typically the
utility mains, fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or
emergency power system or standby generator in that
it will provide instantaneous or near-instantaneous
protection from input power interruptions by means of
one or more attached batteries and associated
electronic circuitry for low power users, and or by
means of diesel generators and flywheels for high
power users. The on-battery runtime of most
uninterruptible power sources is relatively short—5–
15 minutes being typical for smaller units—but
sufficient to allow time to bring an auxiliary power
source on line, or to properly shut down the protected
equipment
Computer Fan A computer fan is any fan inside a computer case

18
used for cooling purposes, and may refer to fans that
draw cooler air into the case from the outside, expel
warm air from inside, or move air across a heatsink to
cool a particular component. The use of fans to cool a
computer is an example of active cooling.
Laptop/Notebook cooler A laptop/notebook cooler, cooler pad or chill mat is an

accessory for laptop computers that helps reduce
their operating temperature. Normally used when the
laptop's fan device is unable to sufficiently cool the
laptop, a cooling pad may house active or passive
cooling methods and rests beneath the laptop. Active
coolers move air or liquid to direct heat away from the
laptop quickly, while passive methods may rely on
thermally conductive materials or increasing passive
airflow.
TV Tuner or TV Video A TV tuner card is a computer component that allows
Capture television signals to be received by a computer. Most
TV tuners also function as video capture cards,
allowing them to record television programs onto a
hard disk.
1.2 Select appropriate hardware and software

according to task assigned and required
outcome
After this lesson, you will be able to

• Identify additional support hardware for a computer
• Understand the functions of some of the add-on hardware
Estimated lesson time: 3 Hours 30 Minutes
In addition to the devices that support a computer's data-processing

functions, there are others that enhance its operation and performance. The
following table lists some of these devices.
19
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Power supply Converts a local power source (typically 110 volts AC
in the United States) to 3.3, 5, or 12 volts DC. Most
power supplies also perform some basic line
conditioning and surge-protection functions.
Surge suppressor Used to prevent large power spikes (for instance,

lightning) from damaging a computer.
UPS Uninterruptible power supply. Acts as both a surge

suppresser (to prevent high-power spikes) and a
power leveler to provide the computer with a constant
source of power. Can even provide power during a
power failure or interruption (although the duration
depends on the UPS and the computer's power
consumption) so that the user can safely save data
before shutting down.
Case The box that houses most of the system must provide
an environment that minimizes electrical interference
to other electronic devices in the area. It should
provide a proper heat level for safe operation and
bays and connections for drives, circuit boards, and
I/O devices.
Don't let the term support hardware lead you to underestimate the
importance of these components. How important are roads to commerce, or
water to a city? Without a reliable power source, modern PCs would not
exist. The internal power supply keeps a clean current running to the
system.

COMPUTER HARDWARE CLASSIFICATION AND CHARACTERISTICS:
1. MONITOR
A monitor is a visual display of
information, using text and graphics.
It converts analog signal to digital
signal to transmit information so that
monitor can understand.
The portion of the monitor that

displays the information is called the
screen. Like a television screen, a
computer screen can show still or
moving pictures.
There are two basic types of monitors: CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors
and LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors. Both types produce sharp images,
but LCD monitors have the advantage of being much thinner and lighter.
CRT monitors, however, are generally more affordable.
Comparison CRT
Pros:
High dynamic range (up to around 15,000:1),[2] excellent color,
wide gamut and low black level.
Can display natively in almost any resolution and refresh rate
No input lag
Sub-millisecond response times
Near zero color, saturation, contrast or brightness distortion.
Excellent viewing angle.
Usually much cheaper than LCD or Plasma screens.
Allows the use of light guns/pens
Large size and weight, especially for bigger screens (a 20-inch
unit weighs about 50 lb (23 kg))
High power consumption
Comparison LCD
Pros:
 Very compact and light
 Low power consumption
 No geometric distortion
 Little or no flicker depending on backlight technology
29
 Not affected by screen burn-in
 No high voltage or other hazards present during repair/service
 More reliable than CRTs
 Can be made in almost any size or shape
 No theoretical resolution limit Limited viewing angle, causing color,
saturation, contrast and brightness to
 Vary, even within the intended viewing angle, by variations in posture.
 Bleeding and uneven backlighting in some monitors, causing
brightness distortion, especially toward the edges.
 Slow response times, which cause smearing and ghosting artifacts.
Modern LCDs have response times of 8 ms or less.
 Only one native resolution. Displaying resolutions either requires a
video scaler, lowering perceptual quality, or display at 1:1 pixel
mapping, in which images will be physically too large or won't fill the
whole screen.
 Dead pixels may occur either during manufacturing or through use.
 In a constant on situation, thermalization may occur, which is when
only part of the screen has overheated and therefore looks discolored
compared to the rest of the screen.
 Not all LCD displays are designed to allow easy replacement of the
backlight
 Cannot be used with light guns/pens

2. CASE + PSU
A computer case is what contains the entire computer's components,
there will be space for drives, add-in cards and the motherboard. In addition
30
to this, space for the Power Supply Unit (PSU). Depending on the size of
motherboard that you have and the need for space in your computer there
are a variety of computer case sizes to accommodate the computer's
components.
Things to consider are desk space, cooling, room for expansion and cost.
With these things in mind you should have no problem selecting the correct
case for your needs.
Listed below are the cases with the advantages and disadvantages of each,
most cases cost more the larger they get however very small cases are
normally more expensive than the bigger ones!
 Mini - Ideal for people who need a PC in a very small space, for the
Micro ATX motherboards. Advantages - Look cool, saves loads of
space, added features. Disadvantages - Cost, little/no room for
expansion, problems of overheating with fast processors.
 Slimline - Ideal for people who want a desktop computer, but dont
want a huge box on their desk. Advantages - Look cool, saves loads of
space, added features. Disadvantages - Cost, little/no room for
expansion.
 Desktop - Cheap case solution for a PC. Advantages - Cheap to buy,
loads of room for expansion. Disadvantages - They are big, take up
desk space. Can have overheating problems if the internal case design
is poor.
 Mini-Tower - Great for more desk space as it can be floor standing.

1. COMPUTER MOUSE
In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting
two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a
mouse consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or
more buttons. (Although traditionally a button is typically round or square,
modern mice have spring-loaded regions of their top surface that operate
switches when pressed down lightly.) It sometimes features other elements,
such as "wheels", which allow the user to perform various system-dependent
operations, or extra buttons or features that can add more control or
dimensional input. The mouse's motion typically translates into the motion
32
of a cursor on a display, which allows for fine control of a graphical user
interface.

PS2 Interface Type Battery Operated TrackBall Mouse
2. COMPUTER KEYBOARD
In computing, a keyboard is a typewriter-style keyboard, which uses an
arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic
switches. Following the decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction
via teletype-style keyboards became the main input device for computers.
Despite the development of alternative input devices, such as the mouse,
touchscreen, pen devices, character recognition and voice recognition, the
keyboard remains the most commonly used and most versatile device used
for direct (human) input into computers.

PROCESS DATA
data – refers to symbols
that represent facts,
objects, and ideas.
process – a way in which a
computer manipulates data
this process is controlled by a computer program.
processing takes place in a CPU (brain of computer)
- CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

The central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer system
that carries out the instructions of a computer program, and is the
primary element carrying out the functions of the computer or other
processing device. 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. This
term has been in use in the computer industry at least since the early
1960s.[1] The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed
dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation
remains much the same.
CPU Images:
CPU socket Types:

 PGA
 PGA stands for Pin Grid Array. As on the image, the CPU's circuits are
integrated inside a ceramic layer with an array of pins on the surface.
 At the installation the pins are inserted in the socket's holes making
contact with the motherboard's circuits.
34
 There are other form variants and they have
PGA CPU Form
their own technology. I will not discuss them
here, because I think it is not important until
you are a complete savvy. But still, here are
the variants names I know it exist.
1. PPGA stands for Plastic Grid Array

2. FCPGA stands for Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array
3. CPGA stands for Ceramic Pin Grid Array
4. OPGA stands for Organic Pin Grid Array
 Socket 478 - for older Pentium and Celeron processors

 Socket 754 - for AMD Sempron and some AMD Athlon processors
 Socket 939 - for newer and faster AMD Athlon processors
 Socket AM2 - for the newest AMD Athlon processors
 Socket A - for older AMD Athlon processors
5. LGA
LGA stands for Land Grid Array. If you look at the image, you can
see there are no pins. Instead it is an array of pads that is built on
the CPU's surface.
At the installation the CPU is sat on the socket's pins where they
are fixed to the motherboard and contact with the circuits.
The LGA form offer a clock frequency higher than the PGA caused
by its larger contact point. Maybe it is the reason why Intel decided
to go back to this form that was used long ago.
LO 3. ACCESS INFORMATION USING

COMPUTER
1. OPTICAL DISK DRIVE
CD-ROM Drive
Short for Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory, a type of optical disk capable of
storing large amounts of data -- up to 1GB, although the most common size
is 650MB (megabytes). A single CD-ROM has the storage capacity of 700
floppy disks, enough memory to store about 300,000text pages.
CD-ROMs are stamped by the vendor, and once stamped, they cannot be
erased and filled with new data. To read a CD, you need a CD-ROM player.
35
CD-ROMs are particularly well-suited to information that requires large
storage capacity. This includes large software applications that support
color,graphics, sound, and especially video.
2. DVD ROM DRIVE

A new type of read-only compact disc that can hold a minimum of 4.7GB
(gigabytes), enough for a full-length movie.
The DVD-ROM specification supports disks with capacities of from 4.7GB to
17GB and access rates of 600 KBps to 1.3 MBps. One of the best features of
DVD-ROM drives is that they are backward-compatible with CD-ROMs. This
means that DVD-ROM players can play old CD-ROMs, CD-I disks, and video
CDs, as well as new DVD-ROMs. Newer DVD players can also read CD-R
disks.
Sequential: DVD-R, +R, -RW, +RW or ROM

This group of DVD’s are intended for the hi-tech graphics, video for movies
and audio for music. They provide better quality for graphics and sound
along with higher capacity of4.7GB.
Writable: One Time
 DVD-R
 Can only be written with -R type drives.

3. HARD DISK DRIVE
A hard disk drive (HDD) is a non-

volatile, random
access digital data storage device.
Main storages devices on computer
that store data, files, software on
computer. It features rotating rigid platters on a motor-driven spindle within
a protective enclosure. Data is magnetically read from and written to the
platter by read/write heads that float on a film of air above the platters.
A hard disk drive normally has one head per platter with all heads mounted
on common rack. The hard disk spins the disk as 3600, 5400, and up to
7200 or even more RPM (rotation per minute).
Basic Hard drive components:
 Disk platters
 Read/ write head
 Spindle motor
 Head actuator mechanism
 Logic board
 Cable and connectors
 Configuration items
The platters, spindle motor, heads and head actuator mechanism are
contained in a sealed chamber called the Head Disk Assembly (HDA),
usually treated as a single components and is rarely opened. Other parts
external to HDA such as the logic board, cover, and other configuration
items can be disassembled from the drive.
Hard drive comes with TWO Basic sizes:
 Hard disk drive 3.5” in size
 Laptop Hard drive 2.5” in size

COMPUTER SYSTEM
1. PRINTERS
A printer is an output device that produces text and graphics on
paper.
Major types of printer

39
Printers can be divided into two main groups, impact printer and non-
impact printer. Impact printer produces text and images when tiny wire
pins on print head strike the ink ribbon by physically contacting the paper.
Non-impact printer produces text and graphics on paper without actually
striking the paper.
Printers can also be categorized based on the print method or print
technology. The most popular ones are inkjet printer, laser printer, dot-
matrix printer and thermal printer. Among these, only dot-matrix printer
is impact printer and the others are non-impact printers.
Some printers are named because they are designed for specific functions,
such as photo printers, portable printers and all-in-one / multifunction
printers. Photo printers and portable printers usually use inkjet print
method whereas multifunction printers may use inkjet or laser print
method.

4. VIDEO CARD
There are three main types of video card commonly in use.

 PCI Express
 AGP
 PCI
PCI Express is the most current, and fastest, of the video cards. If possible,
you will likely want to install a PCI express video card. Figure 5.1 shows a
PCI Express video card.

Figure 5.1: A PCI Express Video Card
Before PCI express the most common type of video card was the AGP card.
AGP cards still give great performance. If you have only one video card in
your system you will want to make sure it is either AGP or PCI Express.
Figure 5.2 shows an AGP video card.

41
The oldest style for video cards that I will discuss is PCI. You can see a PCI
video card in Figure 5.3.
Figure 5.3: A PCI Video Card
You should not use a PCI card as your primary video display card. PCI cards
are to slow to play any of the more advanced video games, or to show video.
Besides, the price difference between PCI and AGI/PCI-Express is minimal.
What is a good option for PCI cards is using them in conjunction with an
AGP or PCI-Express video card. This allows you to have a second display.
This will be covered in the next section. Now I am going to show you how to
install the video card.

A web browser, or simply "browser," is an
application used to access and view websites. Common web browsers
include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and
Apple Safari.
The primary function of a web browser is to render HTML, the code used to
design or "mark up" webpages. Each time a browser loads a web page, it

47
processes the HTML, which may include text, links, and references to
images and other items, such as cascading style sheets and JavaScript
functions. The browser processes these items, then renders them in the
browser window

What is
It Maintenance offers the best of both
worlds. It’s far cheaper than swapping
burnt-out devices for new or used
replacements, and it puts off the disruptive transition from one

52
machine to the next. Well-maintained
devices last years longer than maltreated
equivalents, supporting smooth personal
and professional use patterns and keeping
more of your hard-earned money in your
wallet along the way.
These electronic device maintenance
tips are all well within the capabilities of the
typical non-expert computer user. Some are
tailored to desktops and laptops. Others
apply to a broader range of devices. Most
are best done on a recurring basis. And
none require excessive investments of time,
effort, or money.
Computer Maintenance Tips – Physical and
Environmental
These tips cover your devices’ physical housing and accessories, and the
environments in which you store and operate them.
1. Keep the Keyboard, Mouse, and Openings Clean
To clean your keyboard’s more accessible surfaces, use a damp, lint-free
cloth. Don’t spray water directly onto the keyboard or allow water to pool
anywhere on it – this will only make things worse. Use the same approach to
clean your mouse’s accessible surfaces.
2. Gently Clean Your Monitor
Your monitor might seem solid enough, but it’s just as vulnerable to dust and
debris as your keyboard and ports. Dust it periodically with a microfiber cloth.
3. Keep Food and Beverages Away From Desktops and Laptops
Repeat after me: Don’t eat or drink over your desktop or laptop!
Easier said than done when you’re working through your lunch break or binge-
watching your favorite show with a bowl of ice cream, of course. But think of the
consequences: A single spill is enough to destroy a keyboard, and a high-volume
dump could penetrate the device’s casing and wreak havoc on its internal
components.
4. Organize Cords and Other e-Debris
This mess is unsightly and unwieldy at minimum. If you have small children
or pets, it may well present an electrocution risk. Depending on how loaded-
up your power strips and outlets are, you could have a fire hazard on your
53
hands. And jumbled cords are more vulnerable to damage, meaning higher
long-term ownership costs.
5. Don’t Overcharge Your Batteries
Always resist the temptation to keep your
portable devices plugged in . Not only is
this a needless drain on your local power
grid, which means preventable bloat for
your utility bill, but it’s also actively bad for your devices’ batteries.
6. Don’t Block the Vents
If you have a desktop, keep the tower clear of any obstructions, like cabinets
or walls. If it’s possible to do so securely, elevate it to ensure good airflow on
both sides. For laptops, maintain a clear workspace free from clutter that
could obstruct airflow – for instance, papers or books. Periodically check
that the fans are working as well.
7. Have Desiccant on Hand
That’s not the worst thing you could do for
your waterlogged phone, but it’s not the ideal
fix either. Rice is merely the best desiccant, or
drying agent, that most people have lying
around the home. It’s not made for clearing
water from sensitive devices – it’s made for
eating.
8. Keep Magnets Away

Keep your home office – and your devices themselves – away from magnets,
even the weak refrigerator kinds. Your hard drive is incredibly sensitive to
magnetic fields of any strength.
9. Be Careful With Unfamiliar WiFi Networks
10. Uninstall Programs Completely

Deleting program icons is not the proper way to remove unnecessary programs
from your computer. You need to execute a formal uninstall process for every
single application you want to get rid of. Tossing things in the Trash or Recycle
Bin doesn’t cut it.

54
11. Use an External Hard Drive for Backup & Extra File Storage
12. Reinstall Your Operating System Periodically
Updates only go so far, and too many layered updates can actually be
counterproductive. The most thorough way to clear unwanted files and reset your
machine’s “bones” is to reinstall your operating system every so often. Reinstalling
your operating system is a time-consuming affair, but it doesn’t require any
advanced technical skills.
