2. INTRODUCTION TO MOTHERBOARD

3. WHAT IS MOTHERBOARD ?
 Motherboard
is
called
as
a
Headquarter of the system.
 Motherboard is referred to as the
Longest Printed Circuit Board of the
System (PCB)
 Motherboard is used to attach all the
components and pass the instruction
between the components to create
the process inside the system.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF
MOTHERBOARD
 Motherboard is identified by its CPU
socket number and available
components
 Some of the Identification are
P-IV: PGA 478
P-III: PGA 370
P-II: SLOT 1
P-I: SOCKET 7

5. WHAT DOES MOTHERBOARD HAS
MOTHERBOARD
PORTS
SLOTS
CONNECTORS

6. MOTHERBOARD…
MOTHERBOARD HAS 3 Major Division
consisting of
 PORTS
 SLOTS
 CONNECTORS

7. PORTS
 PORTS is called as IN and OUT point
of the system.
 Basically the Ports on Motherboard
are responsible for IN and OUT
operations of the system.
 There are various types of PORTS
available at the Back Panel of the
system

8. Types of Ports…..

9. SLOTS & CONNECTORS
 SLOTS
and
CONNECTORS
are
available on board which is used to
connect the Internal devices in the
system.
 SLOTS are used to connect various
Cards while CONNECTORS are used
to connect various Internal Devices
 There are various type of SLOTS and
CONNECTORS available On-Board

10. Types of SLOTS & CONNECTORS

11. OTHER OBJECT ON BOARD
 NORTH BRIDGE
 SOUTH BRIDGE
 BIOS CHIP

12. OTHER OBJECT ON BOARD
 NORTH BRIDGE: It is a chip which is closer
to the CPU. It is responsible for handling the
communication between the RAM and
Processor
 SOUTH BRIDGE: It is a chip which is closer to
the I/O Slots. It is responsible for handling
the communication between I/O port & RAM
 BIOS CHIP: It maintains the System Setting

14. TYPES OF MOTHERBOARD
MOTHERBOARD
INTEGRATED
MOTHERBOARD
NON
INTERGRATED
MOTHERBOARD

15. INTEGRATED MOTHERBOARD

16. INTEGRATED MOTHERBOARD
 Integrated Motherboard is a board
which has everything In-built.
 In these type of Motherboard all are
on-board and does not require any
kind of Cards
 Some of the On-board things are
DISPLAY,LAN,SOUND,MODEM,USB

17. NON-INTEGRATED MOTHERBOARD

18. NON-INTEGRATED MOTHERBOARD
 Non-Integrated Motherboard is a
board which has no Ports available.
 These type of Motherboards require
various kind of Cards to do input
output operations
 Some of the Cards available are are
DISPLAY Card, LAN Card, SOUND
Card, Internal MODEM,USB Card

20. BUSES
 BUSES are referred as the carrier of
signals which are responsible for
carrying the signals from one location
to the other on the motherboard.
 There are various type of BUSES
available like ADDRESS BUS,DATA
BUS,SYSTEM BUS

21. Troubleshooting Motherboards
