Computer hardware is a part of a computer system that is a physically touchable and physically viewed device and a device that runs instructions from software. Computer hardware is also called hardware. Hardware plays a comprehensive role on the performance of a computer system. Here's how work, all kinds of computer hardware, and its function.

** How It Works Computer Hardware (Hardware) **

Hardware has fundamentally a non-physical piece called firmware. Firmware serves as a basic instruction provider that a hardware can do. Firmware is stored in a dedicated memory chip on a hardware that can be either ROM or EEPROM. Firmware is a small software (software) that is usually written in a low-level programming language to generate basic instructions that can be used by the hardware in question quickly. This basic instruction can be divided into 3 namely,

Basic Input Instructions

The basic instruction of input is instruction that can provide information to other software that is operating system with intermediary driver. This happens when the user interacts with the hardware in question. For example typing with the keyboard, shifting the mouse, and others.

Basic Process Instructions

The basic instruction of the process is the instruction that acts as an intermediate process of input or output by a hardware (not both). The basic instructions of the process in question are instructions that only occur in a hardware or not in a computer system intact.

Basic Instruction of Output

The basic instruction of output is the instruction invoked by other software ie the operating system with the intermediary of the driver. This happens when there is a command to use the hardware from the user. For example, play a video on the screen monitor, print documents with printers, and others

** Types of Computer Hardware and Functions **

The computer system consists of 5 types of hardware that is hardware input, process hardware, output hardware, storage hardware, and electrical hardware. These five hardware devices are arranged in such a way as to form an integrated system to be able to input, process, and output data. Here's an explanation of each of the three hardware.

Input Hardware

Hardware input is a type of hardware that serves to enter data (input) into the computer system memory. The main input hardware of a computer system is the keyboard. Mouse is a supporting hardware input (peripherals) of a computer system. Here are some examples of input hardware on the computer.

** Hardware Input **

Understanding the Keyboard

The keyboard is the main input device of a computer system consisting of buttons to operate the computer. The keyboard can be used to perform complete data input on a computer system.

Mouse

Mouse is a computer peripheral device used to perform data input in the form of cursor movements, clicks, and scrolls. The mouse initially uses the ball to perform the cursor movement, as the technology develops light sensors used to detect movement.

Scanner

Scanner is the input hardware on the computer with input data in the form of a scan of a document, like a photocopy machine.

** Process Hardware **

Process hardware is a type of hardware that serves to perform the data processing or execution of commands to the data entered. The main process hardware of a computer system is the processor (CPU), VGA, sound card (sound card), and motherboard

** Process Hardware **

Processor (CPU)

The processor is a major process hardware that is an electronic circuit component that can execute specific logic, arithmetic, control, and input / output (I / O) computations based on user-ordered instructions. Almost all processes in a computer system is done by the processor. The processor is also called the CPU (Central Processing Unit)

So many articles this time about Understanding Computer Hardware and Functions. Look forward to other interesting postings and please willingness to Restem and also its upvote Thank you
