Content  Device Drivers  Plug-n-Play Devices  Input Devices  Output Devices  Storage Devices  Network Devices  Communication Device  References
Device Drivers  A program to tell the system software how to work with that piece of hardware  Some common device drivers are built in the system software (Operating System) e.g. keyboard and mouse drives
Plug-n-Play Devices  Devices designed such that Windows can detect them, install and configure the device driver automatically  For non plug-n-play devices, we have to install and configure the device driver manually.
Input Devices (1)  Keyboard  P/S2 keyboard  USB keyboard  Wireless keyboard
Input Devices (2)  Pointing Devices  Mouse, trackball, touch pad, light pen, digitizer  Touch screen
Input Devices (3)  Scanning devices  Image scanner  Fax machine – scan image to bitmap  Bar code scanner – scan Universal Product Code (UPC)  Magnetic ink character scanner (MICR)  Optical character scanner (OCR)  Optical mark scanner (OMR)
Input Devices (4)  Voice Input Device  Microphone – to receive the sound signal  Sound card – to convert the sound signal to digital form  Use speech recognition software to recognize human speech
Input Devices (5)  Handwriting Recognition Device  Need handwriting recognition software  Called natural input  Slow inputting speed
Output Devices (1)  Visual Display Unit (VDU)  Commonly called monitor  2 common types of monitor  CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor  High radiation and bulky  LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor  No radiation and slim
Output Devices (2)  Printer – to produce hard copy  Laser printer  to produce high quality output  resolution up to 2400 dpi (dot per inch)  use carbon toner, usually for black and white printout, colour is very expensive
Output Devices (3)  Inkjet printer  produce good quality colour output  resolution up to 1440 dpi  use ink droplets to compose the image  The printer is much cheaper than laser printer but the ink is very expensive
Output Devices (4)  Dot matrix printer  Use impact principle  Can print multiple (carbon) copies at a time, usually use in printing invoices  The ink ribbon is cheap  Poor quality of printout
Output Devices (5)  Plotter  Drawing high quality image, use colour pens, can draw smooth curves  Can print on large paper size, use roll of paper  To draw posters and maps  Use in CAD (Computer Aided Design)
Output Device (6)  Voice output devices  Sound card, to convert computer signals to sound  Speakers, to amplify the sound output
Storage Devices (1)  Floppy Disk (Diskette)  A flexible plastic circular disc  Packed in a plastic square jacket  Formatted to 1.44MB  Divided to many circular tracks  Each track is divided to many sectors  Use magnetic technology to store data ‘0’ or ‘1’  Random access  Slow accessing speed
Storage Devices (2)  Hard Disk  High storage capacity, over 100 GB  Hard metallic surface  Consists of several metallic disks  Data are stored in cylinder (a deck of tracks) (see p.86)  Use magnetic technology  Very high access speed  Random access
Storage Device (3)  Optical disk  CDROM, DVDROM, CDRW, DVDRW  Use optical technology, laser reflection on pits  ‘1’ will reflect the laser beam while ‘0’ does not  High storage capacity, 700 MB for a CDROM, 17GB for a DVDROM  Random access  High access speed
Storage Device (4)  Tape  Cheap  Sequential access  Use magnetic technology  Ideal for backup data, we need to backup and restore all data  High storage capacity  Slow access speed  Group of records are stored in a block  Inter-block gaps are needed for stopping and starting the read/write head.
Storage Device (5)  Other Storage devices – can be read/write  Removable disks -Zip disk(100/250MB), superdisk(120MB), Jazz disk(1GB)  MO disk  Flash memory cards – compact flash, smart media and memory stick, commonly used in digital camera
Network Devices (1)  Network Interface Card (NIC) (LAN card)  Connection between the network and the computer bus  Have built-in transceiver, for data transmitting and receiving  Usually 100 MB/s  Wireless LAN card  Usually 11 MB/s  Work within the distance range, and no blocking in between.
Network Devices (2)  Connectors  RJ-45 telephone jack connector  For connecting twisted pairs LAN cable  BNC connector  For connecting coaxial cables
Network Device (3)  Terminators  Use in bus network, to prevent signal rebounce and echo at the ends of bus.
Network Device (4)  Hub  To connect the workstations within a room on same floor  Switch  To connect the workstations for different floors in a building, it is faster and more efficient than a Hub.  Router  To connect different LANs together to form a Wide Area Network (WAN)
Network Device (5)  Repeater  When a network spans a long distance, the signal weaken, repeater is used to reproduce the signal.  Exchange  To boost the signals along the network path for a Wide Area Network.
Network Device (6)  Computer  Different computers play different roles on a network  Server  Provide services to other computers connected to the network, usually have higher processing power and larger storage capacity.  Workstation  The computers connected to the network but not act as a server.
Network Device (7) - Servers  File server  control the sharing and access of files over the network, must have a huge storage capacity.  Print server  Manage the print jobs from different computers to different network printers, and manage the print queues.  Web server  To host a web site and publish web pages on the web, support HTML, Java script, CGI, PHP and ASP web languages  Email server  To store, send and receive emails over the Internet  Internet server  To provide Internet access
Communication Device  Modem - Modulator-demodulator  It transforms digital signals of computer to analog signals to be transmitted through telephone lines. (Modulation)  It also transforms analog signals back to digital signals for the computer that receives the signals. (Demodulation)
Data/Signal Rate  Data Rate  Refer to the no. of bits per second sent  Signaling Rate (Baud Rate)  Refer to the no. of signals per second sent  Each signal may consists of several bits e.g. 101  Bandwidth  The frequency range of a particular media  is directly proportional to the data rate
