Components Of A Device

Components Of A Device

1. Power supply

   • Electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load.
   • Different levels of voltage
   • Different types of powers supplies
     • Need to choose according to future needs

2. Motherboards

   • Contains the principal components of a computer or other device
   • There are different types of motherboards
     • You have to choose one, based on your needs

3. CPU

   • Is the brain of the computer
   • Does most of the processes
   • Calculations
   • Controls the interpretation and execution of instructions
   • Can be a single microprocessor or multiple processing devices

4. Power Supply Wattage

   • P= V*A
   • Indicates how much power it's capable of supplying

5. Cooling Systems

   • Regulates the temperature generated by computer components
   • Avoid damage in the system
   • Heat is removed from air, surrounding surfaces, or bothheat is removed from air, surrounding surfaces, or both

6. RAM

   • Stores data temporally
   • Aiding processing
   • The main memory in a computer
   • Allow us to multitask

7. ROM

   • Store data permanently, often storing firmware
   • Low level of program
   • Contains the programming that allows a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on.

8. Adapter Cards And Expansion Slots

   • Extend computer functionality
   • The expansions slots, add capability to a computer in the form of connection pinholes
   • An adapter card is a circuit board you install into a computer to increase the capabilities of that computer

9. Video Ports

   • Can be used to connect a monitor or other display, such as a TV, to a computer

10. Storage Devices

    • Hardware device
    • Can be used to store digital data and applications
    • Can be internal or external

11. Adapters And Conveters

    • Redirect to another pin
    • Transform Signal
    • Converter's job is to change the voltage according computer needs
    • Adapters helps the plugs on your electronics fit into it, more aptly

12. General Port

    • Provide connectivity
    • Input and output devices
