Lesson
In this lesson, you will look at what a motherboard looks like and the major
components that reside there. You will explore the internet and find out what the
motherboard and its components do and how the motherboard interacts with its
various components. It is here to help you to better understand and identify
components of a computer.
What’s In
The motherboard defines the computer's limits of speed, memory, and expandability.
A computer needs more than just a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory. To
accept input from the user, it needs devices, such as a keyboard and a mouse. It also
needs output devices, like monitors and sound cards, to cope with the powerful
graphics and sound capabilities of the programs available today. A computer also
needs "permanent" storage devices, such as floppy disk drives and hard disk drives,
to store data when it is turned off. It is the function of the motherboard to provide the
connectivity for all these devices.
What’s New
Understanding Motherboard
The motherboard is the PC's center of activity. All devices in a computer are in some
way connected to the motherboard. It hosts the largest single collection of chips of
any PC component and serves as the "street system" for the grid of wires that link all
the components, making it possible for them to communicate.
What is It
Motherboard
The motherboard is the large printed circuit board found inside the system unit
case. It is often referred to as the system board or main board because it contains
the microprocessor, chipsets, the main memory (RAM), and the ROM BIOS. The
motherboard also contains several connectors that attach the different devices to
complete the computer system.

The function of the motherboard is to
hold computer essential parts and
connecting parts together in place to
receive power and to communicate with
one another.
Baby AT Motherboard
ATX Motherboards
The motherboard consists of various components which have their own role to
play in the functioning of a computer. Let us discuss various motherboard
components and know their definition and role.
ATX Motherboard

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE• EXCELLENCE
Expansion Slots
ISA slots. These were the oldest expansion slots in
the history of motherboards. They were found in AT
boards and are identified by black color.
Conventional display cards or sound cards were
installed in these slots. The full form of ISA is
Industry Standard Architecture and is a 16- bit
bus.
PCI Slots. The full form of PCI is Peripheral
Component Interconnect. The PCI slot is one of the
important motherboard components today and is
vastly used to install add-on cards on the
motherboard. The PCI supports 64-bit high-speed
bus.
RAM(memory) slots
SIMM slots. The full form is a single in-line memory
module. These slots were found in older
motherboards, up to 486-boards. The SIMM
supports 32-bit bus.
DIMM slots. The full form of DIMM is a Double inline memory module. These are
the latest RAM slots which run on a faster 64-bit bus. The DIMM used on Laptop
boards are called SO-DIMM.
SDRAM-DIMM SODIMM
CPU Socket
Another vital motherboard component is the CPU socket which is used to install the
processor on the motherboard. Some important sockets are explained below.
Socket7. It is a 321 pin socket that supported older processors like Intel Pentium
1/2/MMX, AMD k5/K6, and Cyrix M2.

City of Good Character
DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE• EXCELLENCE
Socket370. It is a 370 pin socket that supports Celeron processors and Pentium-3
processors.
Socket 775. It is a 775-pin socket that supports Inter dual core, C2D, P-4 and Xeon
processors.
Socket 1156. Found on latest types of motherboards, it is an 1156-pin socket that
supports latest Intel i-3, i-5 and i-7 processors.
Socket 1366. The socket is of 1366 pins and supports latest i-7 900 processors.
BIOS
The full form of BIOS is Basic Input Output System. It is a motherboard
component in the form of an Integrated chip. This chip contains all the information
and settings of the motherboard which you can modify by entering the BIOS mode
from your computer.
Northbridge
It is an Intel chipset that communicates with the computer
processor and controls interaction with memory, the
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, Level 2 cache,
and all Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) activities.
Southbridge
It is the chip that controls all of the computers I/O functions,
such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), audio, serial, the system
BIOS, the ISA bus, the interrupt controller and the IDE
channels.
CMOS Battery
The battery or a cell is a 3.0 Volts lithium type cell. The cell is
responsible for storing the information in BIOS and the full
form is Complementary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor.

Power Connectors
In order to receive power from SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply), there are
connectors mounted on the motherboards.
IDE connector
The Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) connectors are used
to interface disk drives. The 40-pin male connector is used
to connect IDE hard disk drives and the 34-pin male
connector connects to Floppy Disk Drive.
SATA connector
Latest in the series, the connectors, Serial Advance
Technology Attachment(SATA) are 7-pin connectors to
interface latest SATA hard disks or optical drives. They are
much faster than IDE interface.

2 Disassembly Procedures
One of the basic skills that you must acquire in computer systems servicing is to
independently assemble and disassemble a personal computer or simply setting up a
PC. After familiarizing with all the components and safety precautions, you are now
ready to gain another experience in CSS by going through this lesson. It is here to
help you to better understand and recognize the proper procedures in assembling
and disassembling a personal computer.
What I Know
Read the statements carefully. Put a check mark on the appropriate box of your answer.
Statement TRUE FALSE
1.Before starting computer disassembly, make sure you have
the tools you need and they're all close by and handy.
2. A video adapter card is the interface between a computer and
a display monitor.
3.CPU is used to distribute electricity from the power supply to
the motherboard and other components.
4.The CPU fan is located right on top of the Power supply, which
is a large piece of metal with fins on the top.
5.External cable connections include monitor, keyboard, power,
mouse, Ethernet & USB.
What’s In
Computer assembly and disassembly is a large part of a technician's job. They need
to work in a logical and methodical manner when working with computer
components. The assembly and disassembly system proposed here also has a
modelling system, the information necessary for the planning of tasks, generating the
assembly and disassembly sequence, and planning of the proper installing the
components. Improve computer assembly and disassembly skills dramatically with
practice.

Understanding PC Assembly and Disassembly
Assembling and disassembling a computer is not a difficult task but requires keen
observation and knowledge of the different components of the system. You need to be
extra careful when fitting in these components and make sure that they are not to be
fitted forcefully but firmly. In case of hardware failure or to install new add-on cards,
you need to have a good knowledge of assembling and disassembling a computer
system.
