Week 4-System Unit

    The system unit is a case that contains electronic components of the computer used to process data. A system unit includes drive bay(s), power supply, sound card, video card, processor, and memory. In a system unit the processor interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer. 

    In our yogurt shops there would be both desktop personal computers and also notebook computers. In the desktop computer the electronic components and most storage devices are part of the system unit, the kyboard, mouse, microphone, monitor, printer, USB flash drive, scanner, Web cam, and speakers would be considered outside the system unit. Although in a personal notebook the keyboard, speakers, and pointing devices are connected to the system unit.     All computers and mobile devices have system units. It will be important that our employees will know and be familair with the electricle components of a system unit. This is because it is very likely that at some point or other the employees will have to open the system unit on a desktop in order to replace or install a new electronic component.
