    What is a Motherboard?

    The motherboard is an underlying circuit board that holds


    all the computer components together. Computer
    components, including the CPU, RAM, power supply and
    hard drive, plug into the motherboard

    Motherboard I/O Ports

    PS/2 ports- these are use to connect the mouse(green color)and the keyboard(purple color)

    DB 25 female connector(parallel printer port)-this is use to connect the impact printer,one of that the DOT
    MATRIX printer,ex. the Epson LX 300 +.

    DB 9 male connector(Serial or com1 port)-this use to connect a serial device of the computer, such as the
    serial mouse and external modem.

    VGA port(built-in)- this is use to interface the DB cord of the monitor screen or to connect the monitor
    screen of the computer.The fastest video card versions are base on the standard of the vga slots,ex: the
    AGP and PCIe card.

    USB 2.0 2 ports- these are the ports of the usb devices of the computer.Attached externally of the system
    unit,one of that is the USB flash drive.As of now the versions or speed of the USB are the 1.0 and 2.0
    compatible.

    LAN port- this called as Local Area Network of the computer.This is use to connect the numbers of node or
    workstations(PC)to form a local area network of the computer with in their area.Using the a type of
    communication media such as the network switch and router.

    Audio Port- this is use to connect the speaker,mic, and MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) device of
    the computer

    ATX Power connector- this is use to connect the 4 pin of the power supply unit(PSU) .This is separate of
    the 20 or 24 pin of ATX power supply to provide DC voltage of computer processor.

    Processors ZIF Socket- part of MOBO use to hold the processor or CPU chip(Zero Insertion Force).The
    compatibility of the socket depend of the computer processor type.Such as the AM2 socket of the AMD and
    the socket 775 of the Intel company.

    Memory slot(DIMM)- this is called as Dual Inline Memory Module, this is the slot of computer memory or
    what we called RAM. The memory slot depend of the type of the memory. Such as the PC 133 SDRAM and
    PC 400 SDRAM-DDR 1.

    ATX Power connector(24 or 28 pin)- a group of connector of the MOBO,This is separate of the 4 pin
    power assignments.Its provide a DC power output to the system board(SB)from the output of the Power
    Supply Unit.

    CMOS/BIOS BATTERY- In this part, the CMOS/BIOS battery is hold, so that it can provide 3 volts direct
    current/voltage to the CMOS IC. To preserve the BIOS settings of the computer. Such as the time module,
    hardware information and settings/parameter, etc.
    CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
    BIOS Basic Input Output System

    IDE connector(Integrated Drive Electronics)- this connector is use to connect the IDE cable of the
    HDD(Hard Disk Drive) or CD/DVD ROM to the MotherBoard IDE

    Front panel connectors(F-Panel)- this is use to connect the Power LED,HDD LED,Power Switch,and
    Reset switch of the computer system unit(CPU).

    Front Panel Connectors

    Front panel connectors(F-Panel)- this is use to connect the


    Power LED, HDD LED, Power Switch, and Reset switch of the
    computer system unit(CPU).

    SATA connector-this is Serial Advance Technology Attachment. The new standard of the IDE connection
    array of the computer HDD(SATA HDD)to the motherboard system.

    CMOS/BIOS jumper- this is use to disable the BIOS default setup. Such as to disabled the supervisor
    password of the BIOS.

    USB connector(header)- this is use to connect the USB port of the front panel USB 2.0 x 2 port.

    FDD connector- the connector of the FDD cable through the system board. Normally there are 34 pins out
    of it to connect the 3.5 1.44mb Floppy Disk Drive.

    PCI slots- a part of the computer motherboard use to connect the I/O cards of the computer.Such as
    LAN card, WIFI card, USB expansion card, and sound card.

    Motherboard Version number- here you can get the version of the motherboard driver software.So that
    you can download it exactly to the manufacturer website.

    CMOS/BIOS IC- this is the type of BIOS IC being use by the computer MOBO.A set of a program being
    installed in this IC to preserved the BIOS configuration settings of the computer.Such as the speed of the
    CPU chip and RAM, etc.

    AMR slot- this is the AUDIO Modem Riser. Being use to demodulate and modulate the analog audio of the
    computer.

    PCI express slot- a part of the computer that hold the computer video card(VGA), the PCIe card. The latest
    and the most fastest card being installed and most compatible with 3d and 4g gaming of the computer.The
    old video card type is the AGP or Accelerated Graphic Ports and the standard of the PCIe.

    North Bridge IC- is a passion name as being north of the PCI buses or the PCI slots of the MOBO. The true
    name of the north bridge is MCI or Memory Controller Hub. Assigned to manage and control the computer
    memory before the processing of the CPU chip.

    South Bridge IC-is a passion name as being south of the PCI buses or PCI slots. The true name of the
    south bridge is I/O Controller HUB(ICH).Its is a type of microchip task to control all the Input and output
    devices of the computer. Such as the keyboard and mouse. And the monitor screen of the computer, that
    commonly found at the rear back of the CPU or system unit.
