Function of Computer Hardware Components
Main Internal Components Processors: Shorter name for the CPU which stands for Central Processing Unit. The processor is a part of the Computer that will follow information that has been given in order to set up a program.
Motherboard: A major piece of hardware and holds important components together such as the CPU and memory.
BIOS: Basic input/output system has certain instructions in which this will help to start up a pc. Whenever you turn on your computer, the first thing you see is the BIOS software doing its thing. On many machines, the BIOS displays text describing things like the amount of memory installed in your computer, the type of hard disk and so on. It turns out that, during this boot sequence, the BIOS is doing a remarkable amount of work to get your computer ready to run. This section briefly describes some of those activities for a typical PC.
Power Supply Unit: Brings power from the supplied power to allow parts to work inside the computer.
Fan and Heat Sink: Cools down overheated components which are extremely hot. Ports USB: Universal serial bus is a connector which is an input device that you plug into a USB slot. The USB has a faster speed connection which helps support devices that have low speed such as E.g., Keyboards.
Parallel: The parallel port for a PC. An example is a female port which has 25pins databus. Also the male port has 25pins on one of the ends the printer ribbon would be screwed or clipped into position.
Serial: The serial port has the RS-232c standard. It has to have the 25pin male port although PCs will only use 9 of the pins which will be regularly changed by the 9-pin male port. Internal Memory RAM: Abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a memory chip which will provide a type of memory which will allow you to have the same access time for the allocations.
ROM: Abbreviation for Read Only Memory. It will not lose its data even when
