Features: This book uses the Pentium microcomputer as a platform to introduce the system structure, microprocessor, memory, interrupt system, input/output technology, bus interface, and working principles and application technologies of common peripherals from an applied perspective. It forms a complete and systematic teaching content, making the learning of hardware technology courses more natural and smooth. The introduction to computer hardware does not involve circuit details but attempts to provide a comprehensive understanding of computer system operation from a system-level perspective. It clarifies the working principles of computers from the perspective of hardware better supporting software, with the goal of improving the performance-to-price ratio of computer systems. The book is divided into 8 chapters. In terms of content selection, concept introduction, and textual narration, it strives to adhere to the principles of practical application, emphasis on practice, and ease of self-study. It emphasizes the connection between theory and practice, focusing on training and cultivating problem-analysis and problem-solving skills. It aims to reflect the latest level and trends of technological development in the microcomputer field, fully demonstrating the integration of the fundamental, systematic, knowledge-based, and advanced nature of computer hardware technology. The book introduces numerous examples to help readers understand and master the latest knowledge in computer hardware. The selection of examples focuses on deepening students' understanding of typical logical functional components in computer systems, laying a solid foundation for learning and understanding computer operation. This book can serve as a textbook for non-computer majors in higher education institutions, a textbook for computer majors in vocational and technical colleges, and is also suitable as a self-study book for beginners.
