The document discusses motherboards and their classification. It defines a motherboard as the main component of a CPU that integrates all hardware components into a single system. Motherboards have components like printed circuit boards, sockets, slots, and ports. They can be classified as integrated or non-integrated. Integrated motherboards have components built into the board itself while non-integrated motherboards have major components installed as expansion cards that plug into slots.

9. Motherboard and It’s Classification
Integrated Motherboard  Components are in built in the
motherboard.
 Designed for simplicity.
Draw backs
 When one component in the
board is broken or stops
working you have to replace
the whole board
 Cheaper to produce but more
expensive to repair.

10. Motherboard and It’s Classification
Non-Integrated Motherboard
 The major assemblies like Video
circuitry, disk controllers, and
accessories are installed on
the
Computer as expansion cards.
 Can easily Identify the
Non-integrated motherboards
by their expansion slots usually
occupied by one of the components.
