2. It draw the picture on the screen
We see the soft wares with the help of
monitor
2
3. It is the pointing device
It helps us to open or close the program
3
4. With the help of it we give data to the computer. It contains button
which helps us to write or study program

5. Chassis
Motherboard
Power Supply
Hard Disk Drive
Floppy Drive
CD/DVD Drive
RAM and ROM
Microprocessor
Expansion Cards
Ports and Connectors
Sockets and Slots
Chipset

6. It is formed by metallic element.
it is also called computer case
It houses mother board, power supplier,
HDD, CD/DVD drive and other internal parts.
Chases are of many types e.g: desktop type
or tower type etc
They also gives some outside ports for
connecting devices.

8. It is the back bone of Computer
It is present on the ground of the chase
It consists of RAM, ROM, MP, Slots,
Connectors, etc
Without it computer will not run.

10. It abbreviate as PSU.
It provides the power to the motherboard.
On it’s backside we connect power to it.
Many types of connecters are connected
through it.
Red connector are used to on and off the
computer.
Many cables are going through it to supply
power to motherboard.
Like ATX, MOLEX ….
10
11. Abbreviate as HD or HDD
It was first introduced in 1956
It stores data permanently
Main storage device
ATA, SCGI and SATA cables are used for it.
11
12. First manufactured in 1971
It is remove able diskettes
It is just for storing something of users
12
13. Compact disc read only memory.
It only reads memory not write.
It is also known as optical drive.
It contains software or audio type data.
It’s version are changed up to 72
13
15. Random access memory
Some times these are called eyes of the
computer
It is primary and main memory
It stores data temporary it is volatile memory.
There are two types of RAM
1-SRAM 2-DRAM
15
16. Stands for Dynamic random access memory
It is made of capacitors
If it is charged it holds 1 other wise 0
One transistor is also used to read the data
It has habit of losing data so it will be
refreshed
Cheaper than SRAM also smaller and slower
than SRAM
Due to refreshing option it is so called
dynamic
Primary memory is made up of D-RAM
16
18. 1-SRAM: static random access memory
Single flip flop used to stores one bit of data
Single flip flop is made up of 4 to 6
transistors It doesn't losses data after every 1
mille second
It is the reason so it no need refreshed
It takes more space than D-RAM also it is
faster than D-RAM
It is larger than D-RAM
It is more expensive than D-RAM
Cache memory is also made up of S-RAM
18
20. Stands for read only memory
It stores data permanently
It stores BIOS it is non volatile memory also it
is primary memory
It works even the computer is off
The function of BIOS is to BOOT means the
start of the function

22. ◦ PROM
◦ EPROM
◦ EEPROM
◦ PROM
◦ Programmable read only memory
◦ Also called one time programmable(OTP)
◦ It can store or read memory only one time
◦ Once program is written it cannot be changed
◦ It is programmed by special programmer called
PROM burner
22
24. EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory.
it can be programmed again and again.
When we reprogram EPROM, it must be first
erased(clean)
It is erased by passing UV through it
In order to reprogram, the EPROM must be
remove from the computer b/c we have to
clean it
24
25. EEPROM stands for Electronically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory.
It can be erased and reprogrammed again
and again
It will be erased in the computer.
We will not remove it from computer
25
26. It is also called brain of the computer
It was first manufactured by Intel company in
1970
It process data into information with the help
of some hardware and soft wares
26
28. PGA : pin grind array
Pins are on the top of the ground
LGA: land grind array
It is the surface type packing
28
29. A port serves as an interface between the
computer and other computers or peripheral
devices.
There are some ports and connector which
used to give power to the mother board and
also to connect some devices with themselves
29
30. Slots are used to connect some devices with motherboard. eg
graphic card etc
