Questions

1. A computer is a device that takes an input, processes it based on instructions given during the input, and returns the results to the user.
2. Input, Processing, Output
3. Hardware are physical components. Software describes programms and operating systems, or the intangible calculations done by the PC.
4. A CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a central component of a computer. It coordinates all other activity in the system and performs calculations. Each CPU has certain instructions, or calculations, it can perform based on the architecture.
5. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) does the math. Control Unit, which controls the system, and the Instruction Register (IR) which contains the current instruction.
6. Main memory, usually called Random Access Memory is fast and volatile. It is comparable low in capacity to other forms of storage, and whenever the system loses power, all the data in the RAM is lost.
7. A peripheral is anything that can be plugged or connected to a computer that is not an internal part of it. Like a keyboard or a mouse. Peripherals are not required for the computer itself to function.
8. 8. The Config of a computer system refers to the setup of all the components internal and external.

Big Translation

1. The case. Remove the screws from the back of the case. Open the side-panels and take them off. Place the case down, left side facing up (when viewed from the front).
2. The power-supply unit. Install the power supply unit in the upper regions of the case. Make sure the fans are free for proper air circulation and not covered up by the walls of the casing.
3. The mainboard. Install the motherboard. Make sure to use the right screws. Do not tighten them too much. Then connect the mainboard to the PSU. Refer to the installation manual for this step.
4. The CPU. The CPU is already socketed into the motherboard underneath the cooler. You do not need to do anything but connect the cooler to the motherboard with the appropriate connection as detailed in the installation guide.
5. The memory. On the motherboard you can find DIMM-slots for your RAM. Gently pry open the locking mechanism on either end of the slots. Before you insert your RAM, make sure that it is in the correct orientation (there is a notch at the bottom between the contacts). If seated correctly, the locking mechanism will lock them in with a clicking noise.
6. The GPU. Install the GPU in the PCIe-Slot. Make sure it is seated properly. Then secure it by mounting the I/O panel to the case with a screw.
7. The HDD. Place your HDD in the appropriate slot so both screw holes align. Once screwed in, connect it to both the Mainboard and the PSU.
8. The DVD-Drive. Slide in the Disk-Drive from the front of the case. Use the accompanying screws to fix it in place. Then connect both to the Mainboard and the PSU.
9. Turning on the computer. Make sure all cables are connected. Close the case the same way you opened it in step 1. Connect mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Turn on the computer and pray it POSTs.
