Get familiar with PC
 PC consists of:
 Input/Output Devices
 PC System
– Motherboard
– CPU
– CPU cooler
– DIMM (memory)
– Cables (IDE, SATA, floppy, COM, etc.)
– PSU (switching power supply)
– Add-on cards (VGA, audio, LAN, modem, SCSI, TV-
Tuner, video capture, etc.)
– System fans
 Storage Devices
– Externally-accessible (External SATA, USB)
– Internal

Motherboard Components
 Motherboard is composed of:
 PCB : printed circuit board
 chipsets : North bridge + South bridge
 internal connectors (CPU, memory, floppy, IDE, power, add-on cards, etc.)
 external connectors (USB, PS/2 keyboard & mouse, RJ-45 LAN, parallel
(line printer), serial (COM), game/MIDI, audio I/O, etc)
 headers (fans, audio input, LED, switch, USB, WOL, WOR, thermal sensor, etc)
 BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
 ICs, Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, MOSFET, Battery
 jumpers / DIP switches (host-bus frequency, CPU multiplier, etc.)
 Others
 All these on-board components could be split into two
categories:
 SMT (surface mount technology, or SMD – surface mount device)
 DIP (dual in-line pin) packages
