20 Memory Computer stores program and data that help the program in carrying out its operations. Types of Memory: RAM Memory and ROM Memory RAM Memory Read/Write type of memory It used by the processor to keep program, data and intermediate results during program executions. It is VOLATILE type of memory Physically installed into motherboard: DIP (dual In-line Pin) memory chips were used on initial motherboards. Later SIMM (single inline memory modules) became common. Currently DIMM (dual inline memory modules) are most common memory module. 20
21 Memory ROM Memory ROM or Read Only Memory It cannot be written Advantage of ROM!!? (Homework) A motherboard contains one or more of these ROM chips. The memory capacity of a ROM varies from one type of system to another. 64 KiloByte (KB) was normally sufficient for a XT system, whereas as AT system requires 256KB of ROM. 21
22 Memory 22
23 I/O Expansion Slot Expansion slot The expansion slots are long thin connectors on the motherboard, near the backside of the computer. They are connected to the motherboards through data, address and control lines/buses on these slots. Expansion cards can connect to these expansion slots such as display card, hard drive controller, sound card, network card, modem card etc. on these slots via Data address and Control Bus on the motherboard 23
24 I/O Expansion Slot Depending on the width and the technology, the expansion slot bus can be divided into the following categories: 8 bit ISA, 16 bit ISA, MCA, EISA, VESA local bus or VL bus, PCI local Bus 24
25 Bus Its an electronic path on which signals are sent from one part of the computer to another. Categorizes according to the number of BINARY DIGITS (bits) that they can transfer at a time. 8 bit wide is called an 8 bit bus. Bus referred as bandwidth. The bandwidth of a bus is the measure of data that can fit in the bus at a given time. Data Bus: Is a set of wires or tracks on the motherboard Data bus is used to transfer data from one part of the computer to another part. Address Bus: is a set of wires or tracks on the motherboard Printed Circuit Board(PCB) which is used to specify address of a memory location 25
26 I/O Ports and Cables A Port is the physical connector used to connect an external device to the system; they are usually found in the back of the system. PC system I/O ports: Serial ports, Parallel ports, PS/2 ports, USB, SCSI, Network, Audio, Video and FireWire ports 26
27 I/O Ports and Cables Serial ports and Cables Serial port serializes data Send data one bit at a time Slower than Parallel ports. Advantage: it needs only one wire to transmit the 8 bits Disadvantage: is that it takes longer to transmit the data Cables are small and low in cost Serial ports, also called communication (COM) ports, are bidirectional. Some systems provide (2) serial ports, a 25-pin and a 9-pin. A 25-pin port only needs 9 pins so in the interest of size most manufacturers only provide 9-pin connectors. Serial ports are male and D-Shell male connectors 27

47 Network Interface Card Connects PC to LAN (Local Area Network). Ethernet, Token Ring. Speeds: 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Onboard or Add-on Card 47
48 Storage Devices Referred as Removable device Reads/Writes information to magnetic or optical storage media. Store data permanently or to retrieve information from a media disk. For portability, some storage drives can connect to the computer using a USB port, a FireWire port, or a SCSI port. The common types of storage drives: Floppy drive, Hard drive, Optical drive, Flash drive and Network drive 48
49 Storage devices Floppy disk Uses removable 3.5-inch floppy disks. Storage Capacity: 720 KB or 1.44 MB of data. The floppy drive can be used to boot the computer if it contains a bootable floppy disk. The floppy drive is slowly being replaced by cheaper, faster, and larger-capacity storage such as writable CDs, DVDs, and flash drive media
50 Storage devices Hard drives It is a magnetic storage device Stores data permanently Configurations: C: drive and contains OS and Applications Boot Sequence: First drive Storage capacity measured in billions of bytes, or gigabytes (GB). Speed measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). Multiple hard drives can be added to increase 50 storage capacity. 50
51 Storage devices Optical devices It use lasers to read data on the optical media. Optical drives types: Compact disc (CD) and Digital versatile disc (DVD) Prerecorded (read-only), Recordable (write once), or Re-recordable (read and write multiple times). CDs Storage Capacity: max. 700 MB. DVDs Storage Capacity: 8.5 GB Optical Media types: CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD- ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD+/-R and DVD+/
52 Storage devices Flash Drives A flash drive, also known as a thumb drive Connects to USB Port A flash drive uses a special type of memory that requires no power to maintain the data. These drives can be accessed by the operating system in the same way other types of drives are accessed. The storage capacity of a flash drive varies from a couple of megabytes to 16 gigabytes. Network Drives A network drive is a connection to a remote 52 computer s storage for access to files, directories, and applications. 52
53 Types of Drive Interfaces Hard drives and optical drives are manufactured with different interfaces that are used to connect the drive to the computer. When you install a storage drive in a computer, the connection interface on the drive must be the same as the controller on the motherboard
54 Types of Drive Interfaces Some common drive interfaces are as follows: Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), also called Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA), is an early drive controller interface that connects computers and hard-disk drives. An IDE interface uses a 40-pin connector. Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE), also called ATA-2, is an updated version of the IDE drive controller interface. EIDE supports hard drives larger than 512 MB, enables Direct Memory Access (DMA) for speed, and uses the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) to accommodate optical drives and 54 tape drives on the EIDE bus. An EIDE interface uses a 40-pin connector. 54
55 Types of Drive Interfaces Parallel ATA (PATA) refers to the parallel version of the ATA drive controller interface. Serial ATA (SATA) refers to the serial version of the ATA drive controller interface. A SATA interface uses a seven-pin connector. Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a drive controller interface that can connect up to 15 drives. SCSI can connect both internal and external drives. A SCSI interface uses a 50-pin, 68-pin, or 80-pin connector
56 Internal cables Drives require both a power cable and a data cable. A power supply has a SATA power Connector for SATA drives, a Molex power connector for PATA drives, and a Berg four-pin connector for floppy drives. The buttons and the LED lights on the front of the case connect to the motherboard with the front panel cables. Some examples of internal PC cables: 56 56
57 Internal cables Data cables connect drives to the drive controller, which is located on an adapter card or the motherboard. Some common types of data cables are as follows: Floppy disk drive (FDD) data cable has up to two 34- pin drive connectors and one 34-pin connector for the drive controller. PATA (IDE) data cable has 40 conductors, up to two 40-pin connectors for drives, and one 40-pin connector for the drive controller. PATA (EIDE) data cable has 80 conductors, up to two 40-pin connectors 57 for drives, and one 40-pin connector for the drive controller. 57
58 Internal cables SATA data cable has seven conductors, one keyed connector for the drive, and one keyed connector the drive controller. 26 IT Essentials: PC Hardware and Software Companion Guide SCSI data cable: Three types of SCSI data cables exist: A narrow SCSI data cable has 50 conductors, up to seven 50-pin connectors for drives, and one 50-pin connector for the drive controller, also called the host adapter. A wide SCSI data cable has 68 conductors, up to pin connectors for drives, and one 68-pin connector for the host adapter. An Alt-4 SCSI data cable has 80 conductors, up to pin connectors for drives, and one 80-pin connector for the host adapter. 58
59 Power Supply Unit (PSU) Supplies power to every single part in the PC. Convert the Alternating Current power (230 V AC) into Direct Current power (3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V DC) The power supply also ensures that the system does not run unless the power supplied is sufficient to operate the system properly. The power supply completes internal checks and tests before allowing the system to start. If the tests are successful, the power supply sends a special signal to the motherboard called Power_Good. If this signal is not present continuously, the computer does not run. Therefore, when the AC voltage dips and 59 the power supply becomes stressed or overheated, the Power_Good signal goes down and forces a system reset or complete shutdown. 59
60 Connectors keyed connectors. Designed to be inserted in only one direction. Each part of the connector has a colored wire with a different voltage running through it Different power supply form factors provide different power output connections, depending on system requirements. AT form factors have been slowly phased out by ATX form factor power supplies because of the different case sizes and advanced features. ATXv12 was created to add power support for the motherboard by adding another four-pin power connector. 60
61 Connectors Connectors are used to connect specific components and various locations on the motherboard: A Molex connector is a keyed connector used to connect to an optical drive or hard drive. A Berg connector is a keyed connector used to connect to a floppy drive. A Berg connector is smaller than a Molex connector. A 20-pin or 24-pin slotted connector is used to connect to the motherboard. The 24 pin slotted connector has two rows of 12 pins each, and the 20- pin slotted connector has two rows of 10 pins each. A four-pin-to-eight-pin auxiliary power connector has two rows of two to four pins and supplies power 61 to all areas of the motherboard. The four-pin-toeight-pin auxiliary power connector is the same shape as the main power connector, but smaller. 61
62 The Display Subsystem AKA Output devices Eg. Monitors and Projects Types of Monitor: Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), LCD and DLP 62
63 The Display Subsystem Difference between monitor types: technology used to create an image CRT: Cathode ray tube monitors are the most common monitor type. Red, green, and blue electron beams move back and forth across the phosphorous-coated screen. The phosphor glows when struck by the electron beam. Areas not struck by the electron beam do not glow. The combination of glowing and non glowing areas is what creates the image on the screen. 63 Most televisions also use this technology. 63
64 The Display Subsystem LCD: Liquid crystal display is commonly used in laptops and some projectors. It consists of two polarizing filters with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electronic current aligns the crystals so that light can either pass through or not pass through. The effect of light passing through in certain areas and not in others is what creates the image. LCD comes in two forms active matrix and passive matrix. Active matrix is sometimes called thin film transistor (TFT). TFT allows each pixel to be controlled, which creates very sharp color images. Passive matrix is less expensive than active matrix but does not provide the same level of 64 image control. LCD Monitors are becoming the most common type of computer monitor. 64
65 The Display Subsystem DLP: Digital light processing is another technology that is used in projectors. DLP projectors use a spinning color wheel with a microprocessor-controlled array of mirrors called a digital micromirror device (DMD). Each mirror corresponds to a specific pixel. Each mirror reflects light toward or away from the projector optics. This creates a monochromatic image of up to 1024 shades of gray between white and black. The color wheel then adds the color data to complete the projected color image. 65
66 The Display Subsystem Display Resolutions Display Standard Linear Pixels (HXV) Aspect Ratio CGA :10 EGA :6 VGA :3 WVGA :9 SVGA :3 XGA :
67 The Display Subsystem Higher-resolution settings produce better image quality. Several factors are involved in monitor resolution: Pixels: The term pixel is an abbreviation of picture element. Pixels are the tiny dots that comprise a screen. Each pixel consists of red, green, and blue. Dot pitch: Dot pitch is the distance between pixels on the screen. A lower dot pitch number produces a better image. Refresh rate: The refresh rate is how often per second the image is rebuilt. A higher refresh rate produces a better image and reduces the level of flicker. Interlaced/non interlaced: Interlaced monitors create the image by scanning the screen two times. The first scan covers the odd lines, top to bottom, and the second scan 67 covers the even lines. Non interlaced monitors create the image by scanning the screen one line at a time from top to bottom. Most CRT monitors today are non interlaced. 67
68 The Display Subsystem Horizontal Vertical Colors (HVC): The number of pixels in a line is the horizontal resolution. The number of lines in a screen is the vertical resolution. The number of Colors that can be reproduced is the color resolution. Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio is the horizontal-to-vertical measurement of the monitor s viewing area. For example, a 4:3 aspect ratio applies to a viewing area that is 16 inches wide by 12 inches high. A 4:3 aspect ratio also applies to a viewing area that is 24 inches wide by 18 inches high. A viewing area that is 22 inches wide by 12 inches high has an aspect ratio of 11:6. Monitors have controls for adjusting the image quality. Some common monitor settings: Brightness is the image s intensity. Contrast is the ratio of light to dark. Position is the 68vertical and horizontal location of the image on the screen. Reset returns the monitor settings to the factory defaults. 68
69 Modem Modem (Modulator and Demodulator) Send data over a phone The sending modem converts digital data into analog data Modems are available in Different capacities modems. 300 bps s through 1983 or so 1200 bps - Gained popularity in 1984 and bps 9600 bps - First appeared in late 1990 and early kilobits per second (Kbps) 28.8 Kbps and 33.6 Kbps 56 Kbps - Became the standard in ADSL, with theoretical maximum of up to 8 megabits per second (Mbps) - Gained popularity in
