System Unit and Storage Devices

The document discusses the main components that make up a computer system. It describes the motherboard as the main circuit board that contains all the components needed to operate the computer. It also explains the central processing unit (CPU) as the main "brain" of the computer that performs instructions and manages data flow. Additional components covered include the power supply, optical drive, memory, hard drive, and various ports and expansion cards.

microcomputer,
responsible for processing
data .
MOTHER BOARD

CABLES
The main circuit
board of a computer.
It contains all the
circuits and
components that run
the computer.

THEARMBOORD
The main circuit
board of a computer.
It contains all the
circuits and
components that run
the computer.

MOTHERBOARD
The processor is the main
“brain” of a computer system.
It performs all of the
instructions and calculations
that are needed and manages the
flow of information through a
computer.

TANRLEC CROSSINGPE
ITUN
The processor is the main
“brain” of a computer system.
It performs all of the
instructions and calculations
that are needed and manages the
flow of information through a
computer.

CPU
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
It is a data pathway between
several hardware components
inside or outside a computer.
It does not only connect the
parts of the CPU to each
other, but also links the CPU
with other important
hardware.

ENOPISAXN SUB
A bus is a data pathway
between several hardware
components inside or outside
a computer. It does not only
connect the parts of the CPU
to each other, but also links
the CPU with other important
hardware.

EXPANSION BUS
Printed-circuit boards (also
called interface cards) that
enable the computer to use a
peripheral device for which it
does not have the necessary
connections or circuit boards.
They are often used to permit
upgrading to a new different
hardware.

ATAPREDS
Printed-circuit boards (also
called interface cards) that
enable the computer to use a
peripheral device for which it
does not have the necessary
connections or circuit boards.
They are often used to permit
upgrading to a new different
hardware.

ADAPTERS
Installed in the back corner
of the PC case, next to the
motherboard. It converts
120vac (standard house
power) into DC voltages
that are used by other
components in the PC.

ROWEP SYPULP / PSU


Installed in the back corner
of the PC case, next to the
motherboard. It converts
120vac (standard house
power) into DC voltages
that are used by other
components in the PC.

POWER SUPPLY / PSU


uses lasers to read data on
the optical media. There are
three types of optical drives:
Compact Disc (CD), Digital
Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-
ray Disc (BD).

CALOPTI DVERI
Designed to optically access
data stored on a DVD. A laser
moves back and forth near the
disk surface and accesses data at
a very fast rate.

OPTICAL DRIVE
STORAGE DEVICES
USED TO KEEP THE
TEMPORARILY STORED
INFORMATION IN THE
COMPUTER’S MEMORY
•a collection of RAM chips.
•the computer's working storage space

PRIMARY

•permanent storage for data


•either internal or external
SECONDARY
is the computer's
working storage space
that holds data,
instructions for
processing and
processed data
(information) waiting to
be sent to secondary
storage.

MEMORY CARD/
PRIMARY STORAGE
Two (2) Types of Memory
RAM – (Random ROM – (Read
Access Memory) Only Memory)
RAM is volatile, ROM is non-
meaning it holds data volatile, meaning
only when the power
is on. When the
it holds data even
power is off, RAM's when the power is
contents are lost. ON or OFF.
Also known as hard drive, is a
magnetic storage device that is
installed inside the computer. The
hard drive is used as permanent
storage for data. In a Windows
computer, the hard drive is
usually configured as the C: drive
and contains the operating system
and applications.
