Hardware component of the computer system

Hardware components of the computer:

Here are we discuss the hardware components of the computer system and these hardware works on the computer and their performance. How to working in the for the system of architecture and peripheral devices.

Hardware component of the computer system

Inside the component of hardware of Computer System Unit:-

Inside the system unit are the electronic components that run the programs, handle typed instructions and determine the result. Some of the common components are as follows:

Motherboard 

The motherboard is known as PCB which is stands for "Printed Circuit Board". It is made up of Silicon and Germanium. These elements are Semi-Conductor. All the electronic components in a system are mounted on a piece of fiberglass called the motherboard. Fiberglass is used because it is a non-conductor of electricity and hence various components remain insulated from each other. Thin metal lines on the fiber-glass connect pins from one component to another, forming the computer's electrical circuits.

RAM (Random Access Memory) Chips

RAM is a volatile memory which is called temporary memory uses only during power on of the Computer System. RAM chips consist of black plastic integrated circuit chips with a row of pins on each side. They may be inserted into or soldered directly onto a printed circuit board. Memory Chips are usually inserted into the mother board in groups. A group of chips is known as a S.I.M.M. (Single Inline Memory Module). S.I.M.M.S. of various capacities, such as 512 MB or more are available such as 1-GB, 2-GB,4-GB etc according to system. These S.I.M.M.S. are inserted into S.I.M.M. slots to enable PC to store data in its memory.

ROM Chips 

ROM (Read Only Memory) chips, such as BIOS, contain data written on them during manufacture. It stores important instructions such as instruction that tell the CPU what to do immediately when you switch on your PC.

Display Adapter Card (Video Graphics Card)

A Display Adapter Card (D.A.C) links the CPU with the Monitor. It converts binary form of information into human readable form.

Disk Interface card 

A Disk Interface Card is necessary for communicating with a hard disk and other peripherals, such as floppy disk drives.

Input/Output interface card

Input/Output interface card is meant for input/output devices, such as printers or modems. It usually has one or two parallel ports, one or two serial ports and joystick port.

Expansion Slots

Expansion Slots are long, narrow connectors that allow you to plug in adapter cards, which offer extra options not available on a normal PC motherboard. For instance, one can plug a sound card, network card, etc. into these slots to enhance the capability of a PC.

Microprocessor 

A microprocessor executes all the program instructions and is truly the heart of the personal computer. It consist of a silicon chip on which tiny circuits are engraved through a photo - chemical process. These chips are available in different types and sizes. Some common types are Intel p4, Athlon etc. They contain the Control Unit and Arithmetic Logic Unit.

CPU Support Chips 

These chips help the CPU in managing different parts of the computer. Organisation name chip set is the one used on motherboard for supporting other devices.

What are the three main purpose of an operating system?

What are the three main purpose of an operating system? There are three main purpose of an operating system. 1. The first main purpose is User interface between hardware and users. 2. The second main purpose is to operate the internal parts of the computer properly and systematically using binary code system in the form of 0 and 1. 3. The third main purpose is to provide an environment for development of an application software and program to uses the hardware resources of the computer and connected to the computer parts which provides output to the user, the output from application software is very useful for users. Interface between user and hardware device  The operating system uses all types of interface such as command line interface, batch command interface and Graphical User Interface to interact with users to hardware peripheral devices through the monitor screen. Monitor has a big role making interface between hardware and users. Monitor visualization of all types of o

Discuss the role played by the various components of the CPU

Q Discuss the roles played by the various components of CPU? The CPU is the brain of the computer system. All major calculations, manipulations and comparisons are made by the CPU. The CPU is also responsible for activating and controlling the operations performed by all other units of the computer system. The major components of the CPU are: a) Arithmetic Logic Unit (A.L.U.) b) Control Unit (CU) c) Primary Memory Arithmetic Logic Unit (A.L.U.): What is ALU Arithmetic logic Unit? ALU is a part of the CPU. It is a part to calculate the logical term in the CPU where the term refers to an operation of logical type. It also calculates the arithmetic terms in the CPU where the term refers to an operation of arithmetic type. It is used to direct access through the processor controller. The ALU connected to the input and output peripheral system through the bus with the different types of bus. Such as control bus, data bus etc. ALU is a part of the CPU that can calculate the input
