LET’S COLLABORATE
A. Major hardware components
of a computer system

1. System Unit
► The main part of a microcomputer,
sometimes called the chassis.

2. Motherboard / Mainboard /
System Board
► The main circuit board of a
computer. It contains all the circuits
and components that run the
computer.

3. CPU (Central Processing Unit)

► The processor is the main “brain” or


“heart” of a computer system. It
performs all of the instructions and
calculations that are needed and
manages the flow of information
through a computer.
4. Primary storage
► (internal storage, main memory or memory) is the
computer's working storage space that holds data,
instructions for processing and processed data
(information) waiting to be sent to secondary storage.
Physically, primary storage is a collection of RAM chips.
Primary Storage

ROM RAM
Two (2) Types of Memory

a. ROM – (Read Only Memory)


► ROM is non-volatile, meaning it holds data even when
the power is ON or OFF.

b. RAM – (Random Access Memory)


► RAM is volatile, meaning it holds data only when
the power is on. When the power is off, RAM's
contents are lost.

5. Expansion Bus

► A bus is a data pathway between


several hardware components
inside or outside a computer

6. Adapters

► 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.

7. Power Supply Unit (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.

8. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

► 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

9. Optical Drive (OD)


► 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).

10. SATA Cable


► Stands for "Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment," or "Serial
ATA." It is an interface used to
connect ATA hard drives to a
computer's motherboard.
GROUP ACTIVITY
► Each member from every group should have a role
pertaining to the devices of a computer and their
functions. Each group will be tasked to present their
output through show casing their talents in front of the
class.

► GROUP 1 – Mother Board
