Definition Hardware Computers

Understanding of the hardware or in its Indonesian called by the name of "hardware" is one component of a computer that is the nature of its tools can be seen and felt in person or in the form of concrete, which serves to support the computerization process.

Hardware can work on orders that have been specified therein, or which is also referredto as the instruction set. With the commands that can be understood by the hardware, then the hardware can perform many activities that have been specified by the command.

Physically, the computer consists of several components, which is a system. System arethe components work together to form a union. If one component does not work, willresult in malfunction of the existing processes with a good computer. Computercomponents are included in the category of hardware elements (hardware). Based on the function, the computer hardware is divided into:

1. divice input

2. Process device 

3. Output device

4. Backing Storage 

5. Peripherals 

The basic components of the computer consists of input, process, output and storage.The input device consists of a keyboard and mouse, Process device is microprocessor(ALU, Internal Communication, and Control Registers section), Output device consistsof a monitor and printer, external memory storage consists of hard drives, floppy drives,CD ROM, magnetic tape. Internal storage memory comprises RAM and ROM. While thecomponents of Peripheral Device is an additional component or as a component that does not exist or did not exist before. Peripheral components of this example: TV TunerCard, Modem, Capture Card.
