ABOUT THE “COMPUTER HARDWARE” SYLLABUS
This is a revised and updated version of TECHINAUT INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY syllabus of COMPUTER HARDWARE. This COMPUTER HARDWARE syllabus is designed to facilitate students to develop a practical approach to solve COMPUTER HARDWARE problem or break down.
Every day we are challenged with new technology and new adaptations of existing technology with the result that we are continually all beginners. While this course is designed primarily for to know more about personal computer (PC) hardware, it may also prove to be helpful to expand knowledge of the PC’s hardware.
This course is intended to provide an in-depth introduction to the hardware and technology of the personal computer and to answer your questions about how it all works. I sincerely hope you enjoy the courses.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
The goal of this course is to present an overview of COMPUTER HARDWARE IT tools used in day to day of computers maintenance. The Course has been designed to provide knowledge on various hardware and software components and tools of the computer like Operating System, BIOS, and other applications, concepts & operations and various issues related to COMPUTER HARDWARE.
The contents of these courses are structured so that you can focus on a particular group of the parts of the PC.
Part I This part of the Courses (The Basics) contains an introduction to some of the underlying concepts and principles of the PC, including digital logic, electronics, and electricity.
Part II (Internal Components) looks at the electronics and other components found inside the system case. This is where all the mysterious stuff goes on and is a very good place to start your reading.
Part III (External Components) covers the devices found outside the system case (including the system case itself) that connect to the computer through its interface ports.
Finally, Part IV (System Care and Troubleshooting) is a guide to how to care for your computer and figure out what is wrong when the PC is not working as it should.
We hope you enjoy this book. When you have completed it, you will be an ex-beginner.
