FIVE MAJOR COMPUTER COMPONENTS
1. MOTHERBOARD
2. CPU(CENTRAL PROCESSING UNITS)
3. POWER SUPPLY UNIT
4. RAM(RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)
5. HARD DRIVE
1. MOTHERBOARD
CLASSIFICATION OR TYPE
· Hardware
· Integrated and non-integrated
FUNCTION
· The basic function for which a motherboard is used in a computer is that it holds the important electronic components of the system including the memory and central processing unit and helps in establishing some sort of bridged connection between other internal components.
SPECIFICATION
· Motherboard is one of the most essential part of a computer systems. It holds together many of the crucial components of a computer including CPU.
PREVENTATION MEASURE
· When you remove the motherboard from the anti-static bag, do not place it on top of the bag. The exterior of the bag attracts static charges. Ground yourself before handling the motherboard if possible wear an anti-static band.
2. CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
CLASSIFICATION OR TYPE
· Hardware
· Intel Pentium gold G5600
FUNCTION OF CPU
· All major calculations and comparisons are made inside the CPU and the CPU is also responsible for activating and controlling the operations of other units of a computer system.
SPECIFICATION
· The CPU is the brain of the computer system. Its carries out the instructions of a computer program, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical and input/output operations of the system.
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
· Save the processor protection plastic plate that you remove when installing the processor
3. POWER SUPPLY UNIT
CLASSIFICATION OR TYPE
· Hardware
· Unique high quality 500w ATX
FUNCTION OF A POWER SUPPLY UNIT
· It converts the alternating current(AC) into a continuous form of power that the computer components needs in order to run normally called direct current
· It also regulates overheating by controlling voltage which may change automatically or manually depending on the power supply.
SPECIFICATION
· Power supply is the piece of hardware that is used to convert the power provided from the outlet into usable power to many parts inside an electrical device, every energy must drive its load which is connected to it.
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
· Use the wire size that suits the rated output current of the power supply to be used in order to prevent smoking or ignition caused by abnormal loads
· Caution is particularly required if the output current from one power supply is distributed to multiple loads.
4. RAM(RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)
CLASSIFICATION AND TYPE
· Hardware
· 8GB DDR3
FUNCTION OF RAM
· A compu...
