INPUT DEVICES : Input devices are

the thing use to input information into

the computer

List of Input Devices

Camera
Compact disc
Mouse
Keyboard
Microphone
Scanner

 Camera

- most cameras like this are

used during live conversations. The
camera transmits a picture from one
computer to another, or can be used to
record a short video.

Compact disc (CD) - CDs store

information. The CD can then

be put into another computer,
and the information can be
opened and added or used on
the second computer.
Note: A CD-R or CD-RW can
also be used as an OUTPUT
device.

 Mouse : The mouse is used to

open and close files, navigate

web sites, and click on a lot of
commands (to tell the computer
what to do) when using
different applications.
Keyboard : The keyboard is a

way to input letters or numbers

into different applications or
programs. A keyboard also has
special keys that help operate
the computer.

 Microphone : A

microphone is used to
record sound. The sound
is then saved as a sound
file on the computer.
Scanner - A scanner is

used to copy pictures or

other things and save
them as files on the
computer.

OUTPUT DEVICES
Output devices : Are things we use to get

information OUT of a computer

List Of Output Devices

Monitor
Printer
Speaker
Disk drives

Monitor : A monitor is the

screen on which words,

numbers, and graphics can
be seem. The monitor is
the most common output
device.
Printer - A printer prints

whatever is on the monitor

onto paper. Printers can
print words, numbers, or
pictures.

Speaker - A speaker

gives you sound output

from your computer.
Some speakers are built
into the computer and
some are separate.
Disk Drives - A disk drive

is used to record
information from the
computer onto a floppy
disk or CD.

CABINET : It is outer

periphery inside which

all other part of cpu are
present

SMPS :

Switch mode power supply

is an electronicpower supplythat

incorporates a switching regulator in order to

be highly efficient in the conversion of
electrical power. Like other types of power
supplies, an SMPS transfers power from a
source like the electricalpower gridto a load
(e.g., a personal computer) while converting
voltageandcurrentcharacteristics. An SMPS
is usually employed to efficiently provide a
regulated output voltage, typically at a level
different from the input voltage. Unlike a
linear power supply, the pass transistor of a
switching mode supply switches very quickly
(typically between 50kHz and 1MHz)
between full-on and full-off states, which
minimizes wasted energy.


MOTHERBOARD :The motherboard is the large

circuit board inside your computer's case. It's

sometimes called the system board, the logic
board, the baseboard, or less commonly, the
planar board. Everything connected to your
computer system, plugs either directly or
indirectly into the motherboard.

The motherboard, more or less, is your

computer. It defines your computer type,

upgradeability, and expansion capability.

Non-Integrated Motherboard

Integrated Motherboards

NON INTEGRATED
Non-Integrated Motherboards

Non-Integrated Motherboards have assemblies such

as the I/O Port connectors (serial and parallel ports),
hard drive connectors or paddle boards, floppy
controllers and connectors, joystick connections,
etc. installed as expansion boards. This takes up
one or more of the motherboard's expansion slots
and reduces the amount of free space inside your
computer's case. Hence, the individual motherboard
is relatively cheap to produce but, because of the
cost of manufacturing, testing, and installing the
expansion boards separately, there's an added cost
to the computer system. However, if something
should go wrong with the individual assemblies,
such as a bent or broken pin in a connector, or a
defective controller chip etc., you could repair the
problem by replacing the individual expansion card
at a

relatively minor cost.

INTEGRATED
MOTHERBOARD
Integrated Motherboards have
assemblies that are otherwise installed
as expansion boards, integrated or built
right onto the board. The serial and
parallel ports, the IDE and floppy drive,
and joystick all connect directly to the
motherboard. This is now standard on
any late model 486 and above. It tends to
free up some space inside the case and
allows for better accessibility and air flow.
The systems are cheaper to produce
because there's less material involved,
less installation, and testing can all be
done at the same time.

PROCESSOR

Processor is the brain of

cpu which perform all the

mathematical operation and
handle the work and speed
of the work .. It is also
called CENTRAL
PROCESSING UNIT

HARD DISK : The hard disk drive or hard

drive is the main location where all data is

stored. Most hard disk drives consist of
spinning platters of aluminum, glass or
ceramic that are coated with a magnetic
media.
A single hard disk usually consists of several
platters. Each platter requires two read/write
heads, one for each side. All the read/write
heads are attached to a single access arm so
that they cannot move independently.

Random-access memory(RAM)
is a form ofcomputer data storage. Today, it takes the

form ofintegrated circuitsthat allow storeddatato be

accessed in any order with a worst case performance
ofconstant time. Strictly speaking, modern types of
DRAMare therefore not random access, as data is
read in bursts, although the nameDRAM/ RAM has
stuck. However, many types ofSRAM,ROM,OTP, and
NOR flashare stillrandom accesseven in a strict
sense. RAM is often associated withvolatiletypes of
memory (such asDRAMmemory modules), where its
stored information is lost if the power is removed.

GRAPHIC CARD : Increases the graphic

quality and we get good picture view

SOUND CARD : It enhance the sound

quality of the computer

DVD DRIVE : DVD DRIVE is use to write the

data on the optical disc or to store data from

optical disc to the system
