J înput/Output port A port is the point at which a peripheral attaches to a system
(î/O port) unit so that the peripheral can send data to or receive
information from the computer

ower button To start on computer

3 eset button Kick of soft boot, instructing the computer to go through

the process of shutting down, which would clear memory
and reset devices to their initialized state ît simply removes
power immediately

 otherboard ain circuit board of the system unit, which has some
electronic components attached to it and others built into it

G ower Supply Convert standard electrical power into the form that
computer can use îf a power supply is not providing the
necessary power, the computer will not function properly

 - /C- ît is a combination drive that reads  and C media, it also
drive writes to - and C- media

V A is installed inside computers A is also
known as a working memory
V The data in A can be read (retrieved) or
written (stored)
V A is volatile which means the programs and
data in A are lost when the computer is
powered off
V A computer uses A to hold temporary
instructions and data needed to complete
tasks This enables the computer's C (Central
rocessing nit) to access instructions and data
stored in the memory very quickly
V A stores data during and after processing
V O is another type of memory
permanently stored inside the computer
V O is non-volatile ît holds the programs
and data when the computer is powered
off
V rograms in O have been pre-recorded
ît can only be stored by the manufacturer;
once it is done, it cannot be changed
V any complex functions, such as start up
operating instructions, translators for high-
level languages and operating systems are
placed in O memory
V All the contents in O can be accessed
and read but cannot be changed
V ixpansion slots are the sockets where the circuit boards or
the adapter cards can be inserted into the motherboard ît is
