Assignment 1 Computer Hardware Printer Video Video 1.07 Summary: Computer PC uses verity of Ports and connectors to communicate between devices and computer. These ports and connectors come in verity of shapes and sizes. Some of ports and connectors are serial port, parallel port, PS2, VGA, network interface cards RJ-45, modem RJ-11, USB, SCSI, firewall, and multimedia ports. Some of the devices and application which uses these ports are printer, keyboard, mouse, gaming joysticks, network, internet, monitor, and multimedia speakers or microphones. This video explains the purpose of the ports and devices.
3. A serial port can hook up devices such as external modems and label printers. What is this port usually called? COM ports - Serial ports can also be used to connect docking stations and digital cameras. 4.
CIS 105 Week 3 DQS CIS 105 DQ 1 There are a variety of computers available, from the smallest computer in a domestic device to the supercomputers used in industry. Despite the different uses for computers, they all have basics elements in common—each computer system involves hardware, software, data, and users. Think about the role of each component of your home or work computer: How do the components of your computer system interact within the system? What improvements or additions to your system do you think would benefit you or make the system more user-friendly?
A. Apple launched the Apple Macintosh in 1984. Microsoft later came out with Windows. 19. One of the ideas used in the development of ARPANET - splitting information into blocks and reassembling them at their destination - came from the Rand Corporation. The initial concept began in relation to what
Stafone Jefferson Unit4Assignment1 Motherboard specifically refers to a PCB with expansion capability - the board is the "mother" of all components attached to it, which often include sound cards, video cards, network cards, hard drives or other forms of persistent storage, TV tuner cards, cards providing extra USB or Firewire slots, and a variety of other custom components. A motherboard provides the electrical connections by which the other components of the system communicate. Unlike a backplane, it also contains the central processing unit and hosts other subsystems and devices. Motherboard Most important consideration * Motherboard CPU Size and Shape * Determined by form factor ATX Form Factor * Replaced older AT form factor * Smaller * Better Organization * Easier to work on * Support for variety of I/O Devices Soft Power Switch * Front of Computer * Does not immediately cut power * Allows Normal OS shutdown process Power Switch * Back of computer * Immediately kills all power Wake on LAN * Configured in CMOS * Keyboard * Network Activity
Systems Management 2. Network Management 3. Storage Management Vendors that provide services and equipment to aid in this regard are HP, IBM, and Microsoft.
