DERIVED FROM THE WORD COMPUTE MEANING TO CALCULATE
AND PERFORM ARITHMETIC OPERATION.
 WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
• A computer is an electronic
device, operating under the
control of instructions stored
in its own memory that can
accept data (input), process
the data according to
specified rules, produce
information (output), and
store the information for
future use.

 What is a computer system?
A computer system is
compose of Input, Output System Unit
and processing device. It
process the data and Output device

 FUNCTION OF A
COMPUTER SYSTEM
Any digital computer carries out five functions in gross terms:
○ Takes data as input.
○ Stores data/instructions
○ Process the data and converts it into useful information
○ Generate output

 COMPUTER HARDWARE
• Divided into 3 parts which is.
– Input device
– Output device
– Processing device
 COMPUTER HARDWARE
INPUT DEVICES (peripheral)
- Any piece of computer hardware
equipment that provide data information to
the computer system.

 COMPUTER HARDWARE
• PROCESS DEVICE
- the system device that process all the
information. It is powered by CPU (Central
Processing Unit) which serves as the brain
of the device / computer system.
Central Processing Unit is comprised into three parts:
• Control Unit
• Main Memory (Register)
• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
(CPU)
Computer processor is the one that holds
and process data and instruction in the
computer.
Also known as the brain of the computer.
 FACTORS THAT AFFECTS
THE PERFORMANCE OF A
CPU INCLUDES:
• Number of existing transistors.
• Data bus width
• Clock Speed (measured by hertz)
• Operation per microprocessor cycle
• Type of chip
 DISK DRIVE
a technology that enables reading,
writing, deleting and modifying of data
on a storage disk.
 EXAMPLES OF DISK DRIVE
HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD)
The main data storage inside your computer.
Operating system, application software and
most common files are stored inside the hard
disk drive. There are two types of Hard Disk
Drive.
• IDE (Old HDD that uses pins)
• SATA (New Technology HDD that uses slot)

SATA
IDE
 EXAMPLES OF DISK DRIVE
CD/DVD DRIVE
Disk drive use to store, read, write and modify
data in a compact disc. There are two types of
CD/DVD Drive
• ROM (Read Only) – Use to store and read
data only.
• RW (Rewritable) - Use to store, read, write
and modify data.
 EXAMPLES OF DISK DRIVE
FLOPPY DISK DRIVE (FDD)
Disk drive use to store, read, write and modify
data into a Floppy diskette.
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
(RAM)
Temporarily stores data and instruction
given by the user.
 TYPES OF RAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
SDRAM

Double Data Rate Random Access Memory

DDR2, DDR3, DDR4
POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU)
It supplies electricity to the entire
computer system. It converts
alternating current (AC) into direct
current (DC)
 TYPES OF PSU
• AT Power Supply – used by very old PC
• ATX Power Supply – still used by some PC
• ATX-2 Power Supply – Commonly use today

 EXPANSION CARDS
• A piece of additional card/board use to add
extra function to your computer system.
