Computer Hard Ware: Study of Cards

This document summarizes different types of computer hardware cards. It describes IDE cards which are used to connect hard disks and support two IDE devices per cable. It discusses VGA cards which generate video signals and have ports like VGA, DVI, and HDMI to connect displays. Integrated graphics on motherboards are mentioned as using system RAM for graphics. Dedicated graphics cards have their own memory. Network interface or LAN cards allow network connection and use RJ45 and BNC connectors. Internal modem cards connect computers to the internet using phone lines.

COMPUTER HARD WARE

STUDY OF CARDS

IDE CARD
The card is identified with a 40 pin connector There are two interfaces or connectors available IDE1 AND IDE2 A flat cable called IDE cable is used to connect IDE hard disk to this card Data is transmitted through this cable in parallel. That is all data bits are transmitted simultaneously We can connect two IDE devices in one IDE cable. The card is plugged on the expansion slot of computer

VGA CARD
A video card (also called a display card, display adapter or graphics adapter) is an expansion card which generates video signals to display an image on Screen
VGA CARD

Integrated Graphics
Modern low-end to mid-range motherboards often include a graphics chipset. This graphics chip usually has a small quantity of embedded memory and takes some of the system's main RAM, reducing the total RAM available. This is usually called integrated graphics or onboard graphics,

Graphics Card Contd.. A dedicated graphics card on the other hand has its own Random Access Memory or RAM and Processor specifically for processing video images, Almost all of these motherboards allow the disabling of the integrated graphics chip in BIOS, and have an AGP, PCI, or PCI Express slot for adding a higher-performance graphics card in place of the integrated graphics.

PORTS AVAILABLE IN VGA CARD Video Graphics Array (VGA) (DE-15) Analog-based standard adopted in the late 1980s designed for CRT displays, also called VGA connector. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) It is a digital-based standard designed for displays such as flat-panel displays (LCDs, plasma screens) and video projectors. In some rare cases high end CRT monitors also use DVI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) An advanced digital audio/video interconnect released in 2003 and is commonly used to connect game consoles and DVD players to a display

LAN CARD
NIC or Network Interface Card is also known as LAN card It is used to connect computer to a network It provides two types of connectors , a RJ45 Connector and a BNC connector

BNC CONNECTOR
BNC connector is used to connect network card to a Coaxial cable.

RJ 45 CONNECTOR
RJ45 connector is used to connet to a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair )cable
UTP CABLE UTP CONNECTOR

INTERNAL MODEM CARD


It is used to connect a computer to a network like internet It provides two ports one for incoming phone line and other for connecting a phone
