A) The CPU is a central processor responsible for interpreting and executing most of the

commands from the computers hardware and software.Like the programs you have on your computer and also the action of turning on the computer. Is small and square with many short, rounded metallic connectors.

B) The RAM is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, for example any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices, such as printers.

C) The expansion cards are printed circuit boards that can be inserted into an electrical connector or an expansion slot on a computer motherboard. Like sound cards. The expansion cards are usually used to add functionality to a computer system via the expansion bus.

D) The power supply is a device that supplies electrical power to an electrical load. Like batteries and fuel cells. The term of power supply is commonly applied to electric power converters.

E) The ATX Power connector is a connector located on the motherboard that gives power to the motherboard form factor. Like the SFX, TFX AND WTX. ATX was created for personal computers.

F) The hard disk is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating discs. Like 1 TB hard disk. The data is read in random access manner.

G) The sata connector is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk and optical drivers. Sata replaces the older AT Attachment.

H) The IDE connector is a standard interface for IBM compatible hard drives. Like the connector use to develop programs more efficiently. IDE is different from the ESDI because its controllers are on each drive.

I) The CPU fan connector is a port on the motherboards that allows a fan to connect to it to cool a CPU. Like the ASUS fan. The CPU fan is important to the computer to not overrate the temperature.

J) The CPU socket is a mechanical component that provides mechanical and electrical connection between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board. Like Intels sockets. The CPU socket allows the CPU to be replaced without soldering.

K) The CMOS backup batteries are batteries that provide power to a system when the primary source of power is unavailable. The CMOS is a perfect example of it. Backup Batteries range from small single cells to retain clock time and date in computers.

L 1) The PS/2 is a 6-pin Mini-Din connector used for connecting some keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer system. Like the IBM PS/2. The PS/2s name comes from the IBM Personal System/2 series of personal computers.

L 2) A serial port is a serial communication physical interface through which information transfers in or out one bit a time. Like the port to connect a wire to output images. Throughout most of the history of personal computers, data was transferred through serial ports.

L 3) The parallel port is a type of interface found on computers for connecting peripherals like printer, etc. The parallel port interface was originally known as the Parallel Printer Adapter.

L 4) The VGA is a three-row 15-pin DE- 15 connector is used to connect an image output device. Like de IBMs one. The VGA interface is not engineered to be hot pluggable.

L 5) The firewire is a serial bus interface standard for high-speed communication and isochronous real-time data transfer. It is like the USB. Firewire is the name that Apple gave to the IEEE 1394.

L 6) The USB is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communication protocols used in a bus for connection. Like the HPs USBs. USB was designed to standardize the connection of computer peripherals.

L 7) The Ethernet is a family computer networking technologies for local area networks. Like LAN. Ethernet was commercially introduced in 1980.

L 8) The audio port is a port in the computer used to plug microphone, headphones, etc. The audio ports are located in the motherboard.
