PARTS OF THE SYSTEM UNIT

(INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL)

INTERNAL HARDWARE

1. Motherboard-Contains all of the connections that allow the carious other subsystems to
interact.
2. Central Processing unit (CPU)-The components that performs all calculations and
mathematical manipulations in a computer.
3. Read Only Memory (ROM)-The memory that computers used to store data and
instructions needed by the CPU for computer operation.
4. Disk Drive-Allows a computer to play CD’s or DVD’s.
5. Battery-The battery allows your computer to function.  Without a battery you would not
be able to turn on.
6. Processor-The brain of the computer system.
7. Cables-The cables connect every electronic device together to connect the circuit and
allow everything to work.
8. Fan-The fan is a device that helps your computer cool down a lot easier by blowing
around the air in your laptop.
9. Heat sink- Necessary to have a CPU cooler. Without it, your CPU will quickly burn
itself out.
10. Modem-Connects hardware and signal.
11. Video card-Deals with PC gaming and high definition video and multiple displays.
12. Hard Drive-The primary method of storage in all desktop computer systems.
13.  USB port-The USB port allows you to plug in another device that has a USB out and
connect it to your computer.
14.  Ethernet port-a system connecting a number of computer systems to form a local area
network.
15. Serial Port-A connector by which a device that sends data one bit at a time may be
connected to a computer.
16. Random Access Memory-The most common computer memory.
17. Power Supply-The charger for the laptop that allows the user to charge their computer.
This puts more battery power into the computer so that it can last longer.

EXTERNAL HARDWARE

1. Microphone-Listens and captures or amplifies sound.

 3. Monitor-Displays information for user on a desktop computer.
4. Screen- Displays information for the user on a laptop screen.
5. Keyboard-Lets the user type information.
6. Computer-An electronic device for storing and processing data.
7. Speakers-Project sounds on the computer.
8. Mouse-Allows the user to move the cursor on the computer.
9. Ports-Allows the user to plug in things to the computer to connect certain devices.
