2. What Is Motherboard ?
 The large circuit board found inside the computer.
 1) It is the main circuit board of a computer.
 2) It controls all the physical devices and components that are connected
directly or indirectly.
 3) CPU, RAM, Hard-disk, DVD RW, CPU FAN, Expansion cards are
connected to it.
 4) Motherboard comes in different form-factors. Type’s, Size,

keyboard / mouse.
2. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Used to connect various USB enabled devices.
(Keyboard, mouse, pen drive, external Hard disk, etc…)
3. VGA (Visual Graphic Adapter ) It is 15 pins female connector Used to attach
monitor, projector & TV
4. Serial port (Com Port) It is 9 pins male connector Used to connect cisco router
or switches etc…
5. LAN Port: (Ethernet Port) Used to connect PC to Local Area network.

7. Back panel connector
6. LPT Port (Line Print Terminal) It is 25 pins female connector. Used to
attach Dot. Matrix printer.
7. Sound Port It is used to attach speaker & mic.

8. Chipset
1.North Bridge : -it controls the Processor and RAM (High speed devices) -
it is placed nearer to the processor -it also contains graphic processor -it is
also called as GMCH (Graphic Memory Controller Hub)
2. South Bridge: -it controls low speed devices like I/O ports, slots etc… -it
is placed nearer to the slots. -it is also called as IOCH (Input Output
Controller Hub)

9. IDE / PATA and SATA Connector
IDE (integrated drive electronics)/PATA(Parallel advance technology
attachment)
 IDE/EIDE cables are used to connect the devices the connector
 It is 40 pin’s connector used to attached or connect hard disk, dvd r/w.
SATA (Serial advanced Technology Attachment)
 SATA cables are used to connect the devices to the SATA
 It is pin less connector used to attached or connect hard disk, dvd r/w.
FDD Port(Floppy disk Drive)
 It is 34 pin connector or port used to attached floppy disk drive.
