Hardware Basics
Key Functions of a PC
 Input — Entry of raw data
 Processing — Manipulation of
the raw data
 Output — Transformation of
the data into information
 Storage — Retention of the
data until it is needed
Computer Cases
 Computer case(chasis) is an enclosure that
holds all the primary electronics of the PC..
Computer cases:
  house all the internal components
  offers access to the external world
through ports and connectors
  prevent delicate circuits from damage
and EMI
  prevent EMI from pc from affecting
surrounding devices such as TV, telephone,
etc
The System Case
 System case types
– Desktop
 Slim desktop
 Desktop
– Tower
 Full-sized tower
 Mid-size tower
 Mini-tower
case
 Slim desktops integrate the display into housing
Consideration:
  The bigger the box, the more components
it can hold. This gives it more expansion
capability, better air flow which is good for
cooling. Large cases are easier to work with.
  The more compact the box, the less
expansion potential it has. Working with such
cases is difficult and usually air flow is reduced.
The System Case

 Parts of the case


1. CD-R and CD-RW drives
2. Removable hard disk (and
lock)
3. 3.5” floppy disk drive
4. 3.5” drive bays
5. LEDs
6. Reset switch
7. Power on/off switch
The System Case
DVI
 Short for Digital Visual Interface, DVI is a
digital connection used to connect a
computer to devices such as projectors, TVs,
etc. In the picture to the right, is an example
of what a DVI connection may look like on the
back of your computer or TV.
RJ-11:
 More commonly known as a phone jack or
phone connector,
 the RJ-11 is short for Registered Jack-11
and is a four or six wire connection
primarily used for telephones and
computer modem connectors in the United
States.
NIC:
 Short for Network Interface Card,
 a NIC is also commonly referred to as a
Ethernet card and network adapter and is
an expansion card that enables a computer
to connect to a network such as a home
network or the Internet using an
Ethernet cable with a RJ-45 connector.
RJ-45:
 Short for Registered Jack-45, a RJ-45 is a
8-pinconnection used for Ethernet network
adapters.
 This connector resembles to the RJ-11 or
6-pin connector used with telephones in
the United States but they're completely
different.
PS/2:
 1. Often referred to as the mouse port or
keyboard port,
 is used to connect a computer mouse or
keyboard.
 The PS/2 port is a mini DIN plug that contains six
pins and is still found on all IBM compatible
computers today, however, is starting to be
replaced by USB.
PS2 Ports

 PS2 or mini-DIN
 Connects keyboard and mouse
 6 pin female
 AT keyboard port
– Converters available
S-Video
 Alternatively referred to as Y/C video,
 S-Video is short for Super Video and
 is a round connector interface
 When received by the TV or other
display device this generates a better
picture when compared to composite
video.
SCSI
 Short for Small Computer System Interface, SCSI,
pronounced as "Scuzzy", is the second most
commonly used interface for disk drives that was first
completed in 1982.
 SCSI is capable of supporting eight devices, or sixteen
devices with Wide SCSI.
 SCSI is a standard for parallel interfaces that transfers
information at a rate of eight bits per second and faster,
which is faster than the average parallel interface.
 SCSI connectors
SCSI Ports

 Internal SCSI
Connectors
 External SCSI
Connectors
Sound card
 Alternatively referred to as a sound board or
an audio card,
 a sound card is an expansion card or
integrated circuit that provides a computer with
the ability to produce sounds that can be heard
by the user either over speakers or
headphones.
Parallel port
 Less commonly referred to as the Centronics interface or Centronics
connector
 The parallel port is a 25-pin (type DB-25) computer interface commonly used to
connect printers to the computer.
 Printer - The most common use for the Parallel port.
 Scanner - Another commonly used parallel device is the Parallel scanner.
Parallel scanners are a popular alternative to SCSI scanners because of how
easy they are to install.
 External Drives - Another popular use of the Parallel ports are external drives
such as the Iomega Zip Drive, which can be easily removed from one computer
and placed onto another.
 Apple computers
Parallel Ports

 IEEE1284 Standards
– Compatibility/Centronics/
Standard mode
– 8-bit (enhanced
bidirectional) mode

– DCE (Data Communications Equipment)
USB
 Short for Universal Serial Bus,
 USB is a standard that was introduced in 1995 by
Intel, Compaq, Microsoft and several other computer
companies.
 USB 1.x is an external bus standard that supports
data transfer rates of 12 Mbps and is capable of
supporting up to 127 peripheral devices.

USB ports

 USB Ports
– The host

VGA
 Short for Video Graphics Array,
 VGA is a popular display standard developed by IBM and introduced in
1987,
 VGA provides 640 x 480 resolution color display screens with a refresh
rate of 60Hz and 16 – 32 colors displayed at a time.
 If the resolution is lowered to 320 x 200, 256 colors can be displayed.
 VGA capability is built into plug-in video cards,

 VGA chips, and monitors that can work


with the VGA cards. Today, VGA has been
replaced by SVGA.
Cable
 Alternatively referred to as a cord or plug,
 a cable is one or more wires covered in a plastic covering that
connects a computer to a power source or other device.
 In the picture to the right, is an example of what the power cord
may look like for your computer or monitor.
 The power cord is just one example of millions of other cables
found in and around computers.
