COMPONENTS OF SYSTEM UNIT
1. MOTHERBOARD
• The “backbone” of the
computer or more appropriately
as the “Mother” that holds all
the pieces together.
 2. CPU

 Central Processing Unit is the

“heart” or “brain” of a computer
 responsible for interpreting and
executing most of the commands
from the computer.
 3. RAM

 Random Access Memory

 the physical hardware inside a computer that
temporarily stores data, serving as the computer’s
“working” memory.
 Used to convert the power provided from the outlet into
usable power for the many parts inside the computer case.

4. POWER
SUPPLY
 5. VIDEO CARD
 An expansion card that allows the computer to send graphical
information to a video display device such as a monitor, TV, or projector.

 Rectangular in shape with numerous

contacts on the bottom of the card and one
or more ports on the side for connection to
video display and other devices.
 6. HARD DISK DRIVE
 The main, and usually largest, data
storage hardware device in a computer.

 A data storage device that uses

magnetic storage to store and retrieve
digital information using one or more
rigid rapidly rotating disks coated with
magnetic material.
 7. OPTICAL DRIVE
 A piece of computer hardware
about the size of a thick soft
cover book.
 the front of the drive has a small
open/close button that ejects and
retracts the drive bay door. This
is how media like CD’s , DVD’s,
and BD’s inserted into and
removed from the device.
