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.
