Introduction
Personal Computers (PCs) and PC-based equipment are based on common hardware.
Here we’ll examine common hardware components.

Case (we’ll look inside later)
The case is the “box” that holds the internal components of the PC. It protects those delicate components from dust and debris.
![Page 5: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Monitor
The monitor is the main output component used on a PC. It’s where the computer is able to show you what it, and you, are doing.

Keyboard
The keyboard is the main input device you use with a computer or PC-based equipment.
![Page 7: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mouse
On any PC that uses graphics (pictures), a mouse is an essential input device that allows you to control the PC.

Internal Components
Remember the case? We said it contained internal components.
Internal components are the parts of the computer that do most of the work, though they are behind the scenes.
Understanding their basic functions is important to understanding the PC as a whole.

Motherboard
The motherboard (main board, system board) is a large circuit board which all other PC components connect to in some way.
![Page 11: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Motherboard
![Page 12: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CPU
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brain of the PC. All work done by the PC involves the CPU in some way. The CPU plugs into the motherboard.
![Page 13: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Drives
There are many kinds of drives in a computer: CDROM drives, hard drives, floppy drives, ZIP drives, tape drives, pen drives. The basic function of all drives is to store information (more on this later).
![Page 15: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) is memory that the CPU uses when performing its tasks.
RAM consists of chips that plug into the motherboard. In general, the more RAM you have, the better.
![Page 19: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Expansion Cards
Expansion cards are circuit boards that plug into the motherboard to expand its capabilities. Sound cards are an example. One required expansion card is the video card, which connects to the monitor.
![Page 20: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Video card
Normally an expansion card, but sometimes built into the motherboard (integrated), the video card has 15 holes, in three rows of five.
![Page 21: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Power Supply
The power supply is crucial to the PC. It converts power from the wall outlet into power the PC can use. It powers all internal components, including the motherboard and drives.
![Page 22: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Communication Ports
In industry, non-integrated PCs must connect to external machines, such as:– CNC machines– Automobiles– Robotic devices
These connections are made via communication ports.
![Page 23: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Communication Ports
Common communication ports are:– Keyboard– Mouse – Serial– Parallel– Modem– Network Interface Card (NIC)– USB
![Page 24: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Keyboard
Barcode readers often attach to keyboard ports.
Keyboard ports appear in DIN5 and PS/2 or Mini-DIN6 (below).
![Page 25: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mouse
Some input devices connect via a mouse port. Common mouse ports are PS/2 (Mini-DIN6) on the
left and serial (9 pin male) on the right. Don’t connect a mouse-port device to a keyboard
port.
![Page 26: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Serial
Serial ports are fairly slow ports that can transmit data over a long distance (hundreds of feet).
Serial ports are either 9 or 25 pin. Serial ports are male (plugs) on the PC.
![Page 27: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Parallel
Parallel ports are normally used for output to printing devices.
Parallel ports are 25 pin female (socket) on the PC.
![Page 28: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Modem
Modems are normally expansion cards that contain two phone jacks.
They communicate via phone lines to remote devices.
![Page 29: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Network Interface Card (NIC)
NICs are expansion cards that connect PC devices to networks via special network cable.
Many connections to external machines are now made via NICs, which normally have one port.
![Page 30: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
USB
A popular technology to connect to external devices is USB, which can support 127 devices.
USB will eventually replace keyboard, serial, and parallel ports.
![Page 31: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Compare Communications Ports
Parallel is normally used for output only. Keyboard and mouse ports are normally
input only. Serial, NIC, Modem and USB are bi-
directional (input and output).
![Page 32: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Storage Devices
Storage is easiest to think of in terms of primary and secondary.
Primary storage is used by the CPU. The primary example is RAM. Primary loses information without power.
Secondary devices can store data without power. Drives are the main secondary storage devices.
![Page 33: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Hard drive
![Page 35: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CDROM drive
![Page 36: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Storage Reminders
RAM stores information that is currently active.
Information in RAM must be saved to secondary storage or it will be lost when power is removed.
Secondary storage keeps data unless the user removes it (or the device fails).
![Page 37: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
RAM vs. ROM
RAM stands for Random Access Memory
RAM changes constantly as the CPU needs different items in memory based on the user’s requests.
RAM is lost when power is removed.
![Page 38: 100 lp 4 pc parts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886bd991a28ab6d0e8b8b67/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
ROM• ROM stands for Read Only Memory• ROM does not change.• ROM is not lost when the power is
removed from a PC.• ROM stores key instructions that the
computer needs to boot up and operate.

Overview
The PC consists of common external and internal components.
Each component has a specific task. Communication ports connect to
external devices. Storage devices are classified and
primary or secondary.
