    The motherboard is the main circuit board of a computer and contains many essential components and connections. It has RAM slots to connect memory, a CPU slot to hold the processor, input/output ports for connecting devices, storage connectors for hard drives and optical drives, power connectors to supply electricity from the power supply, and expansion slots to add additional components like graphics cards. The BIOS chip stored on the motherboard controls startup and low-level configuration settings.

    PARTS OF

    MOTHERBOARD

    Reporters: Ebajo, Bonete, and Satorinas


    (RAM Slots)

    (Input/Output Ports) (CPU Slot)

    (Power Connectors)

    (BIOS and CMOS)

    (Expansion card slots)

    (IDE and SATA connector)

    (Cabinet Connections)
    BIOS or Basic Input Output
    System
    • This is where all the information and settings of the motherboard are
    stored. It can be accessed, updated, and modified via the BIOS mode.

    • It is a firmware stored in a chip on your computer's motherboard. It is


    the first program that runs when you turn on your computer.
    CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-
    semiconductor) battery
    • is what’s responsible for keeping all the information intact when the
    entire system is shut down.
    • CMOS chip is volatile and to maintain the settings, you need the
    CMOS Battery. Because CMOS chip needs constant power to maintain
    its content or settings
    Input/Output Ports
    • is a socket on a computer that a
    cable is plugged into.

    • I/O port is a memory address


    used by software to
    communicate with hardware on
    your computer
    IDE(Integrated Drive Electronics) and
    SATA(Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
    connector (Storage Device Connectors)

    • IDE- is used to hook up disk drives, floppy disks, and HDD. This is a 40-
    pin male connector that connects the HDD.
    • SATA- is the latest connector with a 7-pin interface. Despite having 33
    fewer pins, this is faster than the IDE connectors.
    Power Connectors
    • The ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) connector (found in more
    recent motherboards) has 20 or 24-pin female connectors. This is the
    largest connector on the motherboard as this draws out the needed
    power directly from the power supply.
    • The SMPS, or switched-mode power supply, then utilizes this
    electricity to power the motherboard and keep it running.
    Cabinet Connections

    • This is where you connect the Power Switch, the LED power indicator,
    the Reset Switch, the HDD LED. The front audio port and front USB are
    also connected here. These connections are also usually located at
    the bottom part of the motherboard.
    CPU Socket

    • The CPU socket is where your CPU, or processor, sits. This is where
    the processing and transfer of data happens. Your CPU is one of the
    most important parts of your computer, so you often choose your
    motherboard based on compatibility with the CPU you intend to use
    should be compatible with the motherboard’s socket in order for it to
    work.
    Expansion Card Slots

    • If you’re going to add a new component to the motherboard, or in


    case you wish to upgrade to a dedicated graphics card from an
    integrated graphics card, the expansion card slots let you do just that.
    Here are the types of expansion card slots you will usually find on a
    motherboard:
    • Video card slot
    • Network card slot
    • Modem card slot
    • Audio card slot
     RAM (Memory) Slots

    • RAM, or Random Access Memory, slots are one of the most important
    parts on a motherboard.
    • The RAM slots are, unsurprisingly, where you place the RAM modules.
    There is the SIMM slot (Single in-line memory module) that only
    supports 32-bit bus and there is the DIMM slot (Dual inline memory
    module) that can simultaneously run with a 64-bit bus.
