Input Unit
Microprocessor
This is the most important chip. This chip gathers data,
processes the data and creates some output. This chip is
identified by three factors.
Motherboard
This is where different kinds of chips are located and
where the other internal parts are attached.
Power Supply
This component supplies the needed electricity of the
other internal parts.
Hard Disk
This is a non- removable disk that stores more information
Chips
These are small, rectangular pieces attached to the
motherboard that perform different tasks.
Fan
This keeps the inside of the CPU cool so that it won’t
overheat. A humming sound is heard when the computer is
turned on.

Fan
The storage unit of the CPU is the file cabinet and memory
system of the computer. Sometimes called main or internal storage, it
receives and holds all computer programs that the computer follows
during the processing. Also, it holds the result of processing until these
results are released or printed as output.
Internal Memory
Output Unit
The output unit provides the end results of a computer job. The
output unit releases the answer, solution or information from the
storage unit in computer print, punched card, magnetic tape or disks.
Software
- this includes all the devices and/or physical parts that make up a
computer installation. It includes the input, control processing,
and output units of the computer.
- this includes the programs or instruction that direct the
hardware to perform data processing functions.
PROGRAMS
TWO KINDS OF SOFTWARE
Personnel - includes personnel required for the successful operation of the EDP or information
technology. EDP personnel include:
1. System analyst - who take care of designing information systems and EDP
requirements of an organization.
2. Programmers - who take care of preparing computer programs based on the
specifications prepared by the systems analysts.
3. Computer operator - who runs or operate the computer.
Other people involved with computers are known as computer professionals. The technical
teams are computer engineers, technicians and skilled workers - who design, build, install and
maintain the computer hardware.
COMPUTER HARDWARE/PARTS:
Hardware - refers to any tangible parts of the computer, any physical components and
phases installed.
