- Its job is to protect its
components and to hold
them at a fixed point.
- Single component.
- Its job is to take the

Basic Parts of the System Unit
1. CPU (Central Processing Unit)

2. Motherboard

3. Memory Module

4. Hard Drive

5. CD/DVD Rom Drive

6. PSU (Power Supply Unit)

7. System Case
CPU (Central
Processing
Unit)
The “Brain” of the computer.

- This device is central to all processing

done by the computer. Data received by
input devices is read by the CPU, and
output from the CPU is written to output
devices.
Motherboard

(Random Access Memory). This is the
primary memory, which holds all the
programs and data the processor is using
at a given time.
Hard Drive

- It is a non-volatile memory hardware

device that permanently stores and
retrieves data on a computer.
CD/DVD Rom
Drive
- CD (Compact Disk) and DVD (Digital
Versatile Disk) drives are relatively high
capacity, removable media and optical
drives.
PSU (Power
Supply Unit)
- The power supply feeds electrical power
to every single part in the PC.
System Case

- It is the frame that houses the

motherboard, power supply, disk drives,
and other physical components in the
system.
