System Unit
• The computer system unit is the housing that contains the main components
of the computer. It is also called a computer case or tower case.
• A typical desktop computer is composed of a computer system unit, a
keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor.
• The computer system unit is the outer shell of all other main internal
components of the computer.
• It is also called a computer case, computer case, or computer tower.
• The main function of the computer system unit is to fix all other components
together and protect sensitive electronic components from external
components.
Components of System Unit
Some of the components in the system unit are; random
access memory (RAM), compact disk read-only memory
(CD-ROM), hard disk, motherboard, fan, processor or
central processing unit (CPU), power supply, and floppy disk
drive.
• The system unit also has other components, such as a
universal serial bus (USB) port, power button, cables,
video, and sound card.
Main components of system unit.
• Motherboard - The motherboard is the main internal hardware component of the system unit. This
board is called the “motherboard” because it has all the connectors that connect to the other hardware
components of the computer system. This means that all input and output (I/O) devices have their
connectors on the motherboard.
• CPU or Processor - The CPU is the hardware component responsible for all operations performed in the
computer system, which is why most computer users call it the brain of the computer, which is fixed on
the motherboard through a slot.
• RAM - is the main memory of a computer system, and its main function is to temporarily store data.
Based on the fact that the data is accessed randomly (in no particular order), it allows the CPU to
easily access the data. It can also speed up the operation of the computer because it allows random
access to data.
• Hard Drive - The main storage device of a computer system is a hard disk or hard disk drive. Unlike
RAM, which temporarily stores data, the main function of a hard drive is to permanently store
information, files, and other documents, and also allows data to be retrieved, but it is non-volatile (data
will not be lost when the computer is shut down).
