Lesson
PERIPHERAL DEVICE
1
A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or
printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e.,
the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be
connected to the computer and used.

What is It
Any machine that feeds data into a computer. For example, keyboard a is an
input device, whereas a display monitor is an output device. Input devices other
than the keyboard are sometimes called alternate input devices. Mice, trackballs,
and light pens are all alternate input devices.
Keyboard
4
Mouse
A mouse is a device that controls the movement of the cursor or pointer on
a display screen. A mouse is a small object you can roll along a hard, flat surface. Its
name is derived from its shape, which looks a bit like a mouse, its connecting wire
that one can imagine to be the mouse's tail, and the fact that one must make it scurry
along a surface. As you move the mouse, the pointer on the display screen moves in
the same direction.
Trackball
Light pen
5
Output device
Monitor
Another term for display screen. The term monitor, however, usually refers to
the entire box, whereas display screen can mean just the screen. In addition, the
term monitor often implies graphics capabilities.
Printers
A printer is an output device that prints paper documents. This includes text
documents, images, or a combination of both.
Plotter
6
In general, plotters are considerably more expensive than printers. They are
used in engineering applications where precision is mandatory.
Computer Cases
The most common system case type is the tower. Depending on the specific
number of internal drive bays and the height of the tower, these cases can be further
classified into mini-size, mid-size and full-size tower cases. One of the biggest
considerations when choosing between case sizes is the number of slots and the
number of devices we would like to add to those cases.
Full Tower
7
Mid Tower
Mini Tower
Small form factor or SFF cases are custom cases that are
designed to minimize the spatial volume of a desktop computer.
SFFs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including
shoe boxes, cubes, and book-sized PCs.
This set of instructions will help you assemble a basic computer capable of
running most modern software packages encountered by a casual user. Modern
computers become more affordable when users supplement their monetary
investment with a few hours of effort. This computer build will be very basic and will
be the minimum hardware necessary to have a functional system. After you have all
of the parts and materials needed, it will take between 2 and 4 hours to assemble
your computer and you will need to be able to use simple hand tools, such as a
screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

Step 1: Procuring Parts
1. Processor (CPU)
2. Computer Case
3. Optical Drive (DVD RW and
SATA capable)
4. Memory (RAM)
5. Power Supply
6. SATA Cables
7. Motherboard (SATA Capable)
8. Processor Fan
9. Case Fan
10. Hard Drive (SATA Capable)
11. Assortment of case and drive screws (Not Pictured)
12. Flowers (necessary if you are invading the space of your significant
other)
Most, if not all of these parts can be bought together in what is known as a
“barebones kit”. In this instance, the case, motherboard, cpu, hard drive, and
memory were bought together from tigerdirect.com as a barebones kit for around
$200(P10,000). The DVD drive and cables were purchased from newegg.com for less
than $30 before shipping. There is an obvious financial advantage to buying parts
bundled together, but less obvious is the benefit you will realize from the amount of
time you save trying to research parts compatibility.
Caution: Double check the manufacturer’s specifications on all items before you
purchase them. Kits are supposed to contain compatible parts, but mistakes can
happen.
9
You may not use every single one of these tools in every installation, but it is best
to have all of them on hand in case you have a use for them.
Warning: Using incorrect tools for a task (such as turning a screw with a knife blade)
can cause equipment damage and bodily injury.
10
jacks and usb ports. If they are not labeled, consult the manufacturer’s
documentation and label them yourself now before other parts are
installed in the case (figure 8).
Put the grounding strap on your wrist (Figure 10) and connect the other end
to the computer case. If your strap is not equipped with a clip to hook to the case,
find a place to wedge against the metal as shown in figure 11. This will prevent any
buildup of static electricity on your body from damaging the computer components.
Caution: Static electricity can ruin computer components. Always wear a grounding
strap when handling any internal components.
To install the motherboard, we need parts that should have been included
with your purchased components:
I/O Bezel is a trim panel installed in the back of the case that surrounds the
interface ports on the motherboard. It should be included with the motherboard.
Figure 12 shows the contents of the motherboard box.
11
Standoffs are installed in the case screw holes to create a riser that separates the
case and motherboard. The screws install into the standoffs as shown in figure 13.
Screws and standoffs should be included with the case, but it is a good idea to order
these items just in case they aren't included.
Install the I/O bezel plate into the opening in the back of the case (figure 14).
It pushes in from the inside.
Install standoffs in the case. The standoffs screw into the motherboard
mounting holes shown in figure 14. Check the screw hole locations on the
motherboard for exact placement.
Lower the motherboard into the case and align with the I/O bezel.
Figure 15 shows the motherboard installed in the case. It works best to leave
the screws loose until all of them have been started and the board is aligned with the
bezel.
Caution: To prevent damage to the motherboard it must only contact the standoffs
and screws. All of the standoffs and screws must be installed.
The hard drive is the device that stores all of your data. It is 3.5" wide and
needs to be mounted so that you can gain access to the cable connections on the
back (figure 16). If that is not possible you may need to connect cables before you
install the drive. To mount the drive:
Find a 3.5" drive bay to install the drive in. If you have trouble finding a place
to mount the drive consult your case documentation for suggestions.
12
Slide the drive into place until the screw holes on the sides are lined up with the
holes in the case.
Install the screws.
13
Step 10: Install RAM
The RAM is the temporary memory location that the processor works from.
Permanently stored data is pulled from disks and stored in RAM while the processor
works with it. The memory is easy to install:
Set the RAM board in the socket as shown in figure 22. Check to see that the
notch in the board is in the correct location. If it is not, turn it around 180º.
Press firmly on both ends of the board to set it into the socket. Make sure the
tabs lock into place as shown in figure 23.
Caution: Pressing the boards in when the tab is not aligned could cause damage to
the RAM boards as well as the motherboard.
Connect the fan assembly's power connector to the motherboard. Consult the
manual to determine proper placement.
Caution: Failure to apply thermal compound will result in insufficient cooling and
will cause damage to the CPU and/or motherboard.
14
Step 12: Install Case Fan
Warning: Incorrect connections can damage components and cause bodily injury.
