PRESENTATION TITLE

Motherboard is the main circuit board inside the PC. It is also known as mainboard, system board, planar board. It holds the processor, memory and expansion slots and connects directly or indirectly to every part of the PC.

Multi-layered printed circuit board Copper circuit paths called traces carry signals and voltages across the motherboard Some layers carry data for input/output while other layers carry voltage and ground returns BackBone Of Computer.

Sockets (or slots) in which one or more microprocessors may be installed. Slots into which the system's main memory is to be installed . A clock generator which produces the system clock signal to synchronize the various components Power connectors, which receive electrical power from the computer power supply and distribute it to the CPU, chipset, main memory, and expansion cards.

Bus line is a physical wiring that connect the components of the computer system on the motherboard. Bus width is the size of bus line . Bus width determine the number of bit that a computer can transmit at one time. Larger the bus width , faster the transmission.

Classification of Motherboard

Integrated Motherboard

Non-Integrated Motherboard

Integrated Motherboard

Components are in built in the motherboard. Designed for simplicity.

Draw backs

When one component in the board is stops working you have to replace the whole board Cheaper to produce but more expensive to repair.

uses installable components and expansion cards

Non-Integrated Motherboard

Motherboard and Its Classification

Expansion card

allow you to upgrade the video card by removing the old one and installing a new one

CPU Socket or Processor Socket. Which is used to install or insert the processor.

RAM slots are used to insert RAMs. . There are so many types of ram slots. they are SD ram slots, DDR ram slots, DDR2 and DDR3 ram slots.

AGP slots are used to insert or install AGP Cards. AGP full form is Accelerated Graphics Port. This slot is for graphics and 3d gaming purpose. it is always beside the PCI slots.

PCI slots are used to Insert or install Add-on cards, such as LAN cards, Sound cards, Capture cards and TV tuner cards. PCI full form is Peripheral Component Interconnect.

Primary and Secondary IDE interfaces are also called as IDE connectors or PATA connectors. IDE full form is Integrated Device Electronics. it supports IDE devices, such as Hard disks and CD and DVD drives.

SATA connectors are also called as Serial ATA connectors. SATA full form is Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. These are connect with serial ATA devices, such as Hard disk drives and CD or DVD drives.

This power connector is ATX power connector. it has 20 or 24 pin connector. mother takes the power from this connector to work.

BIOS stands for Basic input and Output system. This is also one of the important chips.

Ports are used to connect input and output devices. they are attached and come with motherboard and they are in backside of CPU.
