What is it? System unit is a box-like case that contains electronic components with different functions All components work together to accomplish main function of a computer
3
Common components Motherboard Processor System clock Memory
Expansion cards Ports Power supply Hard disk
4
Motherboard Main circuit board of the system unit
Ties everything together in a computer Contains expansion slots, processor chips and memory slots Also called system board
5
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Interprets and carries out basic instructions that operate a computer Also called the processor
6
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Control unit (CU) Directs and coordinates operations in computer Arithmetic/ Logic unit (ALU) Perform arithmetic operation and logical operation Control the speed of the operation
7
System clock Controls timing of all computer operations
Generates regular electronic pulses, or ticks, that set operating pace of components of system unit

Ports Inlets and outlets that connect external devices to system unit
mouse Inlets and outlets that connect external devices to system unit keyboard USB USB serial port printer (parallel port) speaker monitor microphone game port network telephone line out telephone line in FM reception svideo out cable TV
12
Serial ports Parallel ports
Transmits one bit of data at a time. Connects slow-speed devices, such as mouse. Transmits more than one bit data at a time. Uses devices like printer.
