Types of Computer Ports
Examples of computer hardware System Unit Types of Ports Types of Connectors
The System Unit
The System Unit houses the central processing unit, memory modules, expansion slots, and electronic circuitry as well as expansion cards that are all attached to the motherboard; along with disk drives, a fan or fans to keep it cool, and the power supply.
All other devices (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc., are linked either directly or indirectly into the system unit.
Front of the System Unit
Drives are housed in drive bays which are accessed at the front of the case.
Internal drives, such as the hard disk drive, are installed in internal bays that are not typically as accessible as the external drives pictured here.
System Unit cases come in a huge array of types and styles, depending upon hardware needs.
Types of Ports
Serial ports
transmit data one bit at a time, like the picture on the left illustrates.
Parallel ports
transmit more than one byte at a time.
These types of port designs are based on whether or not fast data transmission rates are required by the device or not.
Most computers come with basic types of ports (serial, parallel, keyboard, mouse, and USB); and expansion cards allow you to expand the available types needed by specific devices.
Different Types of Connectors
Understanding the differences among connector types is useful and important, as the cable required to attach a device to your computer is specific to its connector, not to mention the port on the computer.
