  1. C.T 2104 Computer Hardware And Software Brandon Villarosa

  2. Hardware Vs. Software

  3. Hardware • Motherboard • CPU • RAM • BIOS Chip • CMOS Battery • CPU Fan • CPU Heat Sink • Adaptor Cards • Expansion Slots

  4. More Hardware

  5. The Computer Case • Types of cases: • Tower • Desktop • Needs Air flow • Openings • Fan to circulate air

  6. Power Supply • Control electricity to the computer • Reduces 120 volts of power to a form that will not harm the electronics. • Rated at 300 Watts

  7. Motherboard • The main circuit board in the computer • All other parts connect to the motherboard

  8. Cpu-central Processing Unit • Located in the motherboard • The computer chip that processes data

  9. C.P.U 2 • When the cpu receives and carries out an instruction it has completed one cycle • Cpu speed= number of cycles in one cycle • Cycles are measured in gigahertz GHz

  10. RAM- Random Access Memory • Located on the mother board • used to store information which the computer is currently using • It’s a temporary memory, once the power is off the info is lost. • RAM is measured in GB

  11. CPU Fan/Heat Sink • Computer electronics generate huge amounts of heat • Fans and heat sinks help cool electronics

  12. BIOS Chip • BIOS basic input output chip • A type of ROM used by the computer to instruct the system when starting up

  13. CMOS and CMOS Battery • Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor • Located on the mother board • CMOS allows a computer to store info even when the power is off

  14. Adapter Cards • Allow other devices to connect to the mother board • Video card • Sound card • Network card

  15. Video Card- GPU • High end video cards are available that have their own processors, called GPU • GPU= Graphics processing unit

  16. Intergraded Video Sound And Network On The Motherboard • Video sound and network often built in to the motherboard • This is known as a intergraded motherboard

  17. Hard Disk Drive • The primary storage device for the computer • The hard drive holds the operating system, programs and data files. • Its where data goes when saved

  18. Hard Disk Drive 2 • It’s a spinning disk . Data is saved in sectors on the disk • A moving arm reads data from the disk • Storage • Capacity is measured in GB and TB

  19. CD/DVD Drive • Device that reads and writes data to a compact disc • Uses optics/laser to communicate

  20. Power Cables and ribbon Cables Ribbon Cable • Many wires are joined in gray or rainbow colors Power Cables • Single wires that are usually colored

  21. Ribbon Cable • Power Cables • Heat sink • Adapter Card • BIOS Chip • RAM

  22. Power Supply • CD/DVD Drive • CPU • Hard Drive
