WHAT IS SYSTEM UNIT?
 It is the part of the computer which is responsible for

accepting and processing data brought in by the input
devices. It is also responsible for passing the
resulting information to the users via the output.
WHAT IS MOTHERBOARD?
 It is the main printed circuit board in the computer. It

has many sockets into which the CPU, memory
(Random Access Memory & Read Only Memory),
cards (sound, graphic, network interface, etc.) and
peripheral devices are connected. The motherboard is
essentials a means of connecting all of the
computer’s parts together. Extra boards called
‘daughter boards’ can be pugged in the motherboard.
WHAT IS PORTS?
 A port is an interface between are computer to

another computer or peripheral devices. A
commonly used port is the USB port it is used to
connect many devices to computer.
WHAT IS EXPANSION SLOT?
 It is a receptacle inside a computer or other electronic

system that accepts printed circuit.
AGP - Video card

AMR - Modem, Sound card
CNR - Modem, Network card, Sound card
PCI - Network card, SCSI, Sound card, Video card
WHAT IS PROCESSOR ?
 The processor is the part of the computer which

processes or deals with the data and processes in the
system. The processor is the heart of a computer.
The processor carries out instructions from the
computer program.
WHAT IS POWER SUPPLY?
 The power supply to a computer is its main source of

power and it crucial for the computer to run unless it
can run off its own battery life e.g. a laptop. If a
computers power supply is cut then the system will
turn off and work will be lost if not saved.
WHAT IS RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY?
 It is a form of computer data storage, it is temporary

storage. The RAM disc loses its data when the
computer shuts down because it’s volatile. The Ram
connects to the motherboard into the RAM slots, as a
CPU loads a program from the hard disk code and
data are loaded into the RAM.
WHAT IS BIOS?
 The BIOS runs as part of the start-up sequence when

you switch on your computer. The BIOS contains all
the code required to control the hardware e.g.
keyboard, monitor, and mouse. The BIOS is
stored separately from the hard disk on a ROM chip.
This means that if the computer crashes, the BIOS
data is protected. BIOS stand for Basic Input / Output
System.
WHAT IS HEAT SINK?
 The heat sink is a cooling device that installed in the

computer to stop it from getting overheated; heat
sinks are also used in air conditioning units and are
important device in a computer.
WHAT IS GRAPHICS CARDS?
 The Graphics Card generates output images to a

display, different cards offer different added
functions for example some allow video capture or
TV output. Most computers don’t have graphics but
have their own on-board graphics. It connects to
the motherboard by ISA, MCA, VLB, PCI, AGP,
PCI-X, PCI Express and more. It connects to the
display output via VGA (Video Graphics Array),
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), S-
video and more.
WHAT IS VIDEO CARD?
 Converts the processor’s output information into a

video signal that can be sent through a cable to the
monitor.
WHAT IS SOUND CARD?
 Converts the processor’s output information into a

sound signal that can be sent through a cable to the
monitor.
WHAT IS NETWORK CARD?
 A network card allows data to be transferred between

the computer and network. A network card has its
own unique 48 bit code called a MAC (Media Access
Control) address. There are also wireless network
cards which work the same way as a normal network
card, but it uses wireless technology.
WHAT IS HARD DRIVE?
 A Hard drive is device for digital data; it can store

work and others things off your computer on it, the
bigger the hard drive is the more memory the
computer can store.
WHAT IS CABLES?
 Cables are essential in computer systems there are

many different types made from different materials.
The mains power lead is designed to send power to
the system. A USB (Universal Serial Bus) lead
allows users to connect devices to the computer. A
VGA can allow a user to connect a graphics card to
the output monitor or screen.
STEPS IN CONNECTING
EXTERNAL HARDWARE OF A PC
HERE ARE THE STEPS IN CONNECTING
EXTERNAL HARDWARE OF A PC:
Step 1. Attach the monitor cable to the video port.
Step 2. Secure the cable by tightening the screws on the connector.
Step 3. Plug the keyboard cable into the PS/2 (Personal System) keyboard port.
Step 4. Plug the mouse cable into the PS/2 mouse port.
Step 5. Plug the USB cable into a USB port.
Step 6. Plug the network cable into the network port.
Step 7. Plug the power cable into the power supply.
