Hardware
Hardware are the physical components of a
computer – eg the input devices, output devices,
primary storage (memory) and secondary storage
(backing store), Central Processing Unit etc.
External Hardware

•Monitor
•Printer
•Mouse
•Keyboard
•Microphone
Internal Hardware

• Hard drive
• CPU
• Fan
• Motherboard
• Sound card
Computer Systems
A computer system is one that is able to take
a set of inputs, process them, and create a set
of outputs. This is done using a combination
of hardware and software.

System Unit
System Unit- The main part of a
microcomputer, sometimes called
the chassis. It includes the following
parts: Motherboard, Microprocessor,
Memory Chips, Buses, Ports,
Expansion Slots and Cards.
The speed of processor is
measured in GHz –
The higher the number,
the faster the processor
works.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) PROCE
SSOR
CPU (Central Processing Unit) PROCESSOR - 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.
Motherboard
Motherboard / Mainboard / System
Board- The main circuit board of a
computer. It contains all the circuits and
components that run the computer. It is the
most important component within a PC
system.
Motherboard
RAM- Random Access Memor
y
RAM or Random Accessing Memory is the
main memory that stores data on the
computer.
RAM is a type of volatile memory which
means it requires electricity to store data, so
when the computer is powered down all the
memory is wiped.
RAM- Random Access Memor
y
There are many types of RAM including
SRAM (Static Random Accessing
Memory), DRAM (Dynamic Random
Accessing Memory) and SO-DIMM RAM.
All these do similar jobs to the RAM.
RAM- Random Access Memor
y
ROM- Read Only Memory
ROM – (Read Only Memory) ROM is
non-volatile, meaning it holds data even
when the power is ON or OFF.
PSU - Power Supply

The Power Supply Unit supplies all the


computer components which power
(electricity). The Power Supply Unit changes
AC (Alternating Current) from the mains
supply into DC ( Direct Current) which is
used by the components.
