Software | is a part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions. |
Hardware | refers to the physical parts of a computer and related devices. |
Programming Language | is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output. |
Motherboards | a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted. |
Central Processing Unit (CPU) | is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. |
Hard Disk Drive | is a high-capacity, self-contained storage device containing a read-write mechanism plus one or more hard disks, inside a sealed unit. |
Solid State Drive (SSD) | a storage device containing nonvolatile flash memory, used in place of a hard disk because of its much greater speed. |
Random Access Memory (RAM) | a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly |
Power Supply | is a hardware component that supplies power to an electrical device. It receives power from an electrical outlet and converts the current from AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current), which is what the computer requires. |

Parts Of The Motherboard
MOTHERBOARD
a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted.
PARTS OF THE MOTHERBOARD
1. Back Panel Connectors & Ports-
Connectors and ports for connecting the computer to external devices such as display ports, audio ports, USB ports, Ethernet ports, PS/2 ports etc. See image below for a close-up view.
2. PCI Slots
-PCI: Peripheral Component Interconnect
Slot for older expansion cards such as sound cards, network cards, connector cards. See image below for a close-up view.
3. PCI Express x1 Slots
-Slot for modern expansion cards such as sound cards, network cards (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth),connector cards (USB, FireWire, eSATA) and certain low-end graphics cards. See image below for a close-up view. -
4. PCI Express x16 Slot
Slot
for discrete graphic cards and high bandwidth devices such as top-end solid state drives. See image below for a close-up view. -
5. Northbridge
Also known as Memory Controller Hub (MCH).
Chipset that allows the CPU to communicate with the RAM and graphics card.
6. CPU Socket- is the place where you can insert the CPU.
7. ATX 12V Power Connector-
Connects to the 4-pin power cable of a power supply unit which supplies power to the CPU.
8. Front Panel USB 2.0 Connectors- Connects to USB 2.0 ports at the front or top of a computer case. See image above for a close-up view.
9. Front Panel Connectors- Connects to the power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive LED and front audio ports of a computer case. See image above for a close-up view.
10. IDE Connector- Connects to older hard drive disks and optical drives for data transfer. See image above for a close-up view. Have been replaced over by SATA connectors -
11. CMOS Battery- Supplies power to store BIOS settings and keep the real-time clock running. See image above for a close-up view.
12. Southbridge- Also known as the Input/Output Controller Hub (ICH).
Chipset that allows the CPU to communicate with PCI slots, PCI-Express x 1 slots (expansion
cards), SATA connectors (hard drives, optical drives), USB ports (USB devices), Ethernet ports and on-board audio.
13. SATA Connectors- Connects to modern hard disk drives, solid state drives and optical drives for data transfer. See image above for a close-up view. -
14. Fan Headers-Supplies power to the CPU heat sink fan and computer case fans. See image above for a close-up view.
15. RAM Slots- Is where you can insert the RAM
16. ATX Power Connector- Connects to the 24-pin ATX power cable of a power supply unit which supplies power to the motherboard.
17. mSATA Connector- Connects to a mSATA solid state drive. In most cases, this SSD is used as cache to speed up hard disk drives, but it's possible to re- purpose it as a regular hard drive.
18. Front Panel USB 3.0 Connector-Connects to USB 3.0 ports at the front or top of the computer case.
19. Power & Reset Button - Onboard button to turn on, turn off and reboot the computer.
