INTRODUCTION
●
●
Motherboard is the heart of the computer
It is the main printed circuit board present in the computers which holds the main electronic
components of the system.
TYPES OF MOTHERBOARDS
BASED ON WHERE THEY ARE USED
●
Desktop motherboards
●
Server motherboards
●
Workstation motherboards
BASED ON SIZE
●
AT
●
ATX(advanced technology extended)
●
LPX(low profile extension)
●
BTX(balanced technology extended)
●
Pico BTX
●
Mini ITX(information technology extended)
COMPONENTS
WHY MOTHERBOARD
●
Can a child be born without the mother?
●
It is the printed circuit board in the computer
●
It can be extended by plugging other circuit boards into it
●
These extensions are called daughter boards
BIOS
●
BIOS is known as a Basic Input/Output Service
●
Programs stored in the ROM chip is commonly known as Firmware.
●
The BIOS stored on the ROM chip attached to the motherboard is called system BIOS.
●
Nowadays BIOS are Reprogrammable.
CHIPSET
●
The Chipset is a set of electronic component in an IC that manages the data flow between the
processor,memory and peripheral.
●
If processor is the brain, the chipset is the spine and central nervous system of the computer.
●
A chipset is a set of Northbridge and Southbridge chips that works together.
CMOS
●
It stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor.
●
It is referred as Real-time clock, NVRAM or CMOS ROM.
●
●
It stores information and settings in it,when when the power is turned off,with help of CMOS
battery.
Today most computers have moved the setting from CMOS and integrated them into the
Southbridge.
Types of Port
●
Serial Port – Transmit data one bit at a time.
●
Parallel Port – Transmit more than one byte at a time.
●
Parallel port is only able to transfer information from the HDD.
●
Serial port can transfer information both to and from the HDD.
Some Other Components
THINGS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF
●
While installing motherboard
●
While purchasing motherboard
●
Maintaining life of a motherboard
WHILE INSTALLING
MOTHERBOARD
●
●
Ensure you are familiar with ESD and its potential dangers while
working with PCB
Turn the computer off and disconnect the power plug from the power
supply.
●
Make sure the case supports the form factor of your motherboard
●
Make sure all the jumpers or dip switches are correct
●
Make sure the alignment of the back of the motherboard is done
properly with the back of the case
WHILE PURCHASING
MOTHERBOARD
●
●
The motherboard's CPU socket should match the CPU'S socket
The PCB max TDP support should be more or less than the CPU'S
TDP
●
The motherboard's BIOS should be compatible with the selected CPU
●
The motherboard should have the amount of PCI sockets needed
●
●
It should have the required SATA ports and the recommended speeds
for your HDDs
RAM frequencies and voltages should be equal to the motherboard's
specified frequencies and voltages.
MAINTAINING THE LIFE OF A
MOTHERBOARD
●
Sweep off dust that builds on the motherboard
●
Look for swelling busted or leaking capacitors.
●
●
●
Check if the fans specially the fan on the video card is working to
prevent heat from building up
Always run computer on a UPS as this will help protect it from electric
surges
Keep liquids away from laptop as it can damage the internal micro
electronic components
DEPENDENCIES
●
●
It holds and allows communication between many of the crucial electronics
components
In case of Non integrated motherboards,if one part fails then we need
replace the faulty part only rather than replacing the entire motherboard as
in the case of integrated motherboard
