Motherboard Parts and

Functions
A motherboard (also called main
board or system board) is a
basic foundation of a computer
that connects all the crucial
components or parts of a system.
CONTENTS
CPU socket is
used to connect
a
microprocessor
with a printed
circuit board
(PCB) without
soldering,
DIMM (dual in-
line memory
module) slots are
the place on your
motherboard
where the RAM
goes.
POWER CONNECTION
It supplies power to the CPU, memory,
chipset, and other onboard devices. It has 24
pins, arranged in two rows of 12.
CPU FAN
SOCKET
It serves the
purpose of
connecting and
controlling the
CPU cooling fan.
IDE allows for the connection and communication
between a computer's motherboard and its storage
devices.
SATA (Serial ATA) is a
computer interface standard
that allows for the transfer
of data between storage
devices, such as hard disk
drives (HDDs), solid-state
drives (SSDs), and optical
drives, and a computer's
motherboard
PCI slot is a built-in slot on a device that allows for
the attachment of various hardware components such
as network cards, modems, sound cards, disk
controllers and other peripherals
PCIe, or peripheral
component
interconnect express, is
an interface standard
for connecting high-
speed input output
(HSIO) components.
The northbridge manages the speed
at which the CPU communicates
with the components. It also controls
the processor, the AGP video slot,
and the RAM.
The southbridge chipset controls the
rest of the components connected to the
computer, including communication
between the processor and expansion
ports such as USB ports and sound
cards.
The CMOS (complementary
metal oxide semiconductor)
battery, also called coin-cell
battery on the motherboard helps
the BIOS or UEFI to store the
hardware configuration settings.
BIOS instructs the computer on
how to perform basic functions
like booting and keyboard
control; it is also used to identify
and configure the hardware in a
computer such as the hard drive,
CPU, memory, and related
equipment.
 Connection for integrated peripherals
Ports can provide a range of functions, such as sending
and receiving information, connecting to a screen or
attaching useful tools like a mouse or tablet.
