Poor Safety Habits Can Harm BothThe User And The Computer!
To protect both yourself and the computer:Make sure power is off when disassembling, installing or
removing hardware, or doing preventive maintenance (cleaning).
Never disassemble the monitor or power supply unless you have been specifically trained on these components.
Monitors develop high voltage when turned on, and both monitors and power supplies have capacitors (electronic parts that hold an electrical charge) that can hurt you even if the power has been removed.
Effective use of computer terms means more than just knowing and using the correct terminology, it also means using it appropriately and explaining computer terms with simple, everyday language and examples.

The Motherboard• Largest, most important circuit board
– Main board or system board– Contains the CPU, expansion slots, other devices
• Motherboard component categories– Processing, temporary storage, communication,
power• All devices communicate with motherboard CPU• Peripheral device links to motherboard via cable• Motherboard ports may be outside of the case
– Keyboard, mouse, parallel, USB ports, sound ports

Using a parallel ATA interface, a motherboard has two IDE connectors, each of which can
accommodate two devices; a hard drive usually connects to the motherboard using the primary
IDE connector
