UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply):

It stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply. It is a small battery which is used to giving a power supply. When electricity is absence. This battery or PC and data and properly shutting down the computer.


Motherboard
A motherboard is the main circuit board inside a computer that connects the different parts of a computer together. It has sockets for the CPU, RAM and expansion cards (Example- discrete graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, storage cards etc) and it also hooks up to hard drives, disc drives and front panel ports with cables and wires.

Card, Port, Slot:  Cards are the printed circuit board which are use to hold the chips. There are many type used in a PC like memory cards, graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, storage cards.
Many type of Port is serial port, parallel port.

SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply)
It stands for switch mode power supply use to like a transformer of computer to give the power supply for all compensates. 
SMPS converts the input AC voltage to the DC voltages needed by the personal computer. In older computers, AT SMPS were used. Currently ATX 12V SMPS are dominant.


Peripheral Devises:- Input and output devises combined called peripheral devises.

Computer Software
The branch of computer science in which we study about the use of computer and, developing the program to perform desired task/job is called computer software.
Software is the set of programmer which is flows in sight the wire just like a current.

Type of Software: Computer software is memory classified into to broad categories:
1. System Software
2. Application Software

System Software: System software also known as system package control and operate computer system. This software is directly works for computer hardware components.
System Software can be further classified into three parts.
(i) Language Translator
(ii)Operating system
(iii) Utility Software

(I) Language Translator: This type of programmer which are used to convert high level language to low level language and low level language to high level language. 

Assembler: - this programe is convert assembly language (Gnomic Code and Address code language) to machine language and machine language to assembly language.

Compiler: - it is also a compiler compile the whole programe and shows the total errors at the last. It checks the programe at the time and takes very less time to excide any programe.

Interpreter: This Translator converts the programe line by line and checks errors line by line. So it takes very long time to execute any programe.
(II) Operating System:
v     An operating system is an integrated set of program that controls the resources (CPU, Memory, Input/Output devices etc.) of a Computer system and provides its users with an interface.
v     The OS is the computers master control program. The OS provides us with a command that enables us to interact with the PC. When we issue a command, the OS translate it into code that the machine can use.
Some popular operating system are- Unix, Ms –Dos, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows NT, Linux.
Function of the Operating System:
  1. It displays the on screen elements which we interact.
  2. It loads programs into the computers memory so that we can use them.
  3. It coordinates how programs work with the computers hardware and other software.
  4. OS manage the way how information is stored on and retrieved from disk.
Types of Operating system
1.      Real time operating system
2.      Single user /single tasking OS
3.      Single user /Multitasking OS
4.      Multi user / Multitasking OS.
1. Real time operating system:
A real time operating system is a very fast, relatively small OS.
It is needed to run real – time applications.
It may support multiple simultaneous tasks or it may support only single tasking.
Real time applications are needed to run medical diagnostics equipment, life – support system, scientific, instruments & industrial system.

2. Single user /single tasking OS
An operating system that allows a single user to perform just one task at a time is a single user single tasking operating system.
To a user a task is a function such as printing a document, writing a file to disk, editing a file or downloading a file from a network server.
Ms-Dos is an example of a single OS.

3. Single user /Multitasking OS
A single user – multitasking operating system is one that allows a single user to perform two or more functions at once.
The most commonly used personal computer usually run such Oss, Including Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating system.

4. Multi user / Multitasking OS.
A multi user – multi tasking operating system is an operating system that allows multiple users to use programs that are simultaneously running on a single network server called terminal server.
In a multi user – multi tasking operating system environment all or most of the computing occurs at the server.
Examples of Multi user – Multi tasking Oss include UNIX, VMS.

User Interface
When we work on a computer we see and use a set of items on the screen Taken together, theses items are called the user interface.
The User interface provided by the OS can be character based or graphical.
The two most common types of user interface are:
CUI     -          Character user Interface/Command Line User Interfaces
GUI    -          Graphical user Interface.
(III) Utility Software
Utility software is the software that helps to manage and tune the computer hardware, operation systems, and application software by running small tasks. Examples of utility software is an Anti-virus, disk cleaner, registry cleaner and data compression to name a few.

(2) Application Software
This type of software which is develops according to the requirement of user and full fill the needs of user.
