PORTS

PORTS In computer hardware, a 'port'

serves as an interface between the computer and other computers or peripheral devices. Physically, a port is a specialized outlet on a piece of equipment to which a plug or cable connects. Electronically, the several conductors making up the outlet provide a signal transfer between devices.

HARD DRIVE

HARD DISK DRIVE hard disk drive[2] (often shortened as

"hard disk"[3], "hard drive"[4], or "HDD"), is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to a device distinct from its medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive and its floppy disk. Early HDDs had removable media; however, an HDD today is typically a sealed unit (except for a filtered vent hole to equalize air pressure) with fixed media.[5][6]

DESKTOP SLOTS

DESKTOP SLOTS An antenna unit is used in a

desktop computer (100) having a metal shell (1). The antenna unit includes a slot (110) defining on the metal shell, a coaxial cable (3) having an inner conductor (32) connected to a first side (111) of the slot and an outer braiding (33) connected to a second side (112) of the slot, and a fastening member (34) extending across the coaxial cable and securing the coaxial cable on the metal shell.

PROCESSOR CARD

PROCERSSOR CARD Blade server processor card

Clearcube Technology

Intel-based computers that deliver full PC functionality to the user from a centralized location. The blades are compact and house the latest PC components including Intel® Core™ 2 Duo, Xeon® and Pentium® 4 processors with Hyper-Threading, DDR2 memory, SATA hard drives and NVIDIA® graphics cards.

RAM

RAM Pronounced ramm, acronym for

random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, 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.

CPU SOCKETS

CPU SOCKETS Motherboards are subcategorized

by the type of processor socket they have. The processor socket (also called a CPU socket) is the connector on the motherboard that houses a CPU and forms the electrical interface and contact with the CPU. Processor sockets use a pin grid array (PGA) where pins on the underside of the processor connect to holes in the processor socket. Computers based on the Intel x86 architecture include socket processors.

POWER CONNECTION

POWER CONNECTION IEC connector is the common name

for the set of thirteen line sockets (called the connector in the specification) and thirteen panel plugs (called the inlet) defined by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specification IEC 60320 (formerly IEC 320). When used with no other qualifiers, "IEC connector" usually refers specifically to the C13 and C14 connectors.
