Raspberry Pi Connectors and Components

Before you can really get started with Raspberry Pi, you have to know at least roughly what the Raspberry Pi Connectors and Raspberry Pi components are and what they are good for.

That’s why it’s important to properly identify all the important ports and components of Raspberry Pi.

Obtain a photo or a graphic representation of Raspberry Pi and record the following connectors and components in a graphing application.

Where is the keyboard and mouse port (USB)?
Where is the network connection (Ethernet / RJ45)?
Where is the connection for a screen (HDMI and RCA video)?
Where is the connection for the loudspeaker (jack)?
Where is the connection for the power supply (Micro-USB)?
Where is the slot for the SD memory card?
Where is the extension slot (GPIO)?
Where is the system-on-chip (SoC) of Raspberry Pi?
