 BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, learner needs a basic understanding and skills in computer

to accomplish certain task successfully. As a learner you are expected to
familiarize the different hardware and software according to task designed and
evaluate the main issues in managing the hardware and software technology.

Computer education plays a vital role in the academic success of the

students. Therefore, it is important for the students to understand the different
components of a computer system. These components are hardware, software and
peopleware/ liveware. Each component plays an essential part and will not function properly
without each other.

A Computer System is more than just a Computer. It is a combination

of “components working together to perform a specific task”.

A. Hardware is the physical, touchable, electronic, and mechanical components of a

computer system.

 Main hardware components of a computer system

1. System Unit- is the part of the computer that houses
the primary devices that perform operations and
produce result for complex computations. It consists of
the following internal components; Motherboard,
Microprocessor, Memory Chips, Buses, Ports,
Expansion Slots, and Cards.

While the system case is known as computer chassis.

it houses all the parts of the system unit and the main
purpose of it is to protect your computer’s internal
components.

 4. Primary storage (internal storage, main memory, or
memory) is the working storage space of the computer
that contains data, processing instructions and
processed data (information) waiting for
secondary storage. There are two types of memory:
ROM (Read Only Memory) ROM and RAM
(Random Access Memory).

• RAM is a type of volatile memory. Data in RAM

is not permanently written. When you power off
https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.S xXn-
CE5Px9Q7uygBmp3uwHaHa&pid=Api&P=0&w=30
your computer the data stored in RAM is deleted.
0 &h = 3 0 0

• ROM is a type of non- volatile memory. Data

in ROM is permanently written and is not erased
when you power off your computer.

5. Expansion Bus- A bus is a data pathway between

multiple components of the hardware within or outside
of a device. It not only connects the CPU parts to each
other but also connects the CPU to other essential
hardware.

There are several different types of expansion buses

with diverse features, such as:
https://ts e4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.FB tjRDQx8Qkn
5m-3xnUfpwAAAA&pid=Api&P=0&w=220&h=161 • Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)
• Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
• Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)

6. Adapters/Expansion Cards – It referred to as an

add-on card, expansion board, internal card,
interface adapter, or card, an expansion card is a
printed circuit board that fits into an expansion
bus/slot on a desktop computer.

An expansion card is used to give a computer

additional capabilities and often used to permit
upgrading to a new different hardware. These are
