1. MOTHERBOARD

2. What Is A Motherboard...???
A motherboard is one of the most essential parts of a computer system.
It is a sheet of plastic that holds all the circuitry to connect the various components of a computer system.
Thin layers of copper or aluminium foil, referred to as traces, are printed onto this sheet.
Its a motherboard which contains a number of sockets and slots to connect the other components.

3. Why Motherboard Is Used For...???
A Motherboard is the Heart of your PC, it is the link between all the different components inside your computer.
One of the major functions of a motherboard is to act as the “hub” to which other computer devices connect.
Most modern motherboard designs use a BIOS, stored in an EEPROM chip soldered to or socketed on the motherboard, for booting an operating system.

4. Why Motherboard Is Used For...???
A motherboard from one manufacturer will support a single type of CPU and a few different types of memory.
Other peripherals like video cards, hard drives and other components may not be compatible.

5. Types Of Motherboard 1) XT Motherboards
XT Stands for eXtended Technology. These are all old model motherboard. In this motherboards, we find old model processor socket LIF (Low Insertion Force) sockets, ram slots Dimms and ISA (Industry Standards Architecture) slots, 12pin Power Connector and no ports.
They have slot type processors, Dimms memory modules, ISA slots for add-on card, and no ports. There are connectors and add-on cards for ports.

Eg: Pentium-IV, Dual Core, Core 2 Duo, Quad Core, i3, i5 and i7 Processors.

9. Functions of Motherboard
Motherboards are the primary hardware component on a computer, and perform a number of critical tasks.
The motherboard acts as the central backbone of a computer on which other modular parts are installed such as the CPU, RAM and hard disks.
It also acts as the platform on which various expansion slots are available to install other devices / interfaces.
The motherboard is, in essence, a hub that houses a number of essential components such as the Central Processing Unit (CPU), system memory (RAM) and graphics card.
A primary function of the motherboard is to serve as the base upon which a computer’s components are built.

10. Functions of Motherboard
It is also responsible to distribute power to the various components of the computer.
The role of the motherboard is to allow all the components to communicate with each other.
It is responsible for managing the traffic of information within the computer system, which it does by means of the motherboard chipset.
The function of the motherboard chipset is to direct the flow of data that the computer components require.

11. Components of Motherboard
1) Back Panel
Connectors & Ports:
Connectors and ports for connecting the computer to external devices such as display ports, audio ports, USB ports, Ethernet ports, PS/2 ports etc.

12. Components of Motherboard
2) PCI Slots:
Stands for "Peripheral Component Interconnect.
It is a hardware bus designed by Intel and used in both PCs and Macs.
PCI slots are found in the back of your computer and are about 3.5" long and about 0.5" high.
Slot for older expansion cards such as sound cards, network cards, connector cards.

13. Components of Motherboard
3) PCI Express x1 connector:
PCI Express is a serial interface, though multiple lanes may be ganged together.
The "x1" refers to a slot supporting a single PCI Express lane.
It is used for I/O devices that don't require bidirectional bandwidth greater than 500 megabytes per second (gen 1 PCIe).
Sound cards, for example, are typically PCIe x1 devices.

14. Components of Motherboard
4) PCI Express x16 (Graphics):
PCI Express x16 slots are used mostly for graphics cards, though they can be used with any PCI Express card.
Occasionaly, you'll see PCIe x16 connectors that are physical slots for accommodating graphics cards.

15. Components of Motherboard
5) North Bridge:
Also known as Memory Controller Hub (MCH).
Chipset that allows the CPU to communicate with the RAM and graphics card.
Beginning from Intel Sandy Bridge in 2011, this motherboard component is no longer present as it has been integrated within the CPU itself.

16. Components of Motherboard
6) South Bridge:
Also known as the Input/Output Controller Hub (ICH).
Chipset that allows the CPU to communicate with PCI slots, PCI-Express x 1 slots (expansion cards), SATA connectors (hard drives, optical drives), USB ports (USB devices), Ethernet ports and on-board audio.

17. Components of Motherboard
7) CPU Socket :
The processor socket (also called a CPU socket) is the connector on the motherboard that houses a CPU and forms the electrical interface and contact with the CPU.
Processor sockets use a pin grid array (PGA) where pins on the underside of the processor connect to holes in the processor socket.

18. Components of Motherboard
8) ATX Power Connector:
ATX stands for Advanced Technology xTended.
They are designed to connect a computer’s power supply to an ATX motherboard.
This connector is constructed of metal pins laid throughout a nylon matrix.
A female type ATX power connector extends from the ATX power supply to plug into the motherboard.
The modern ATX power connectors can have 20 or 24 pins, depending on the power necessary for the processor.

19. Components of Motherboard
9) ATX 12v Power Connector :
The ATX 4 pin power supply connector is a standard motherboard power connector used to provide +12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator.

20. Components of Motherboard
10) SATA Connector:
SATA, short for Serial ATA, is an IDE standard for connecting devices like optical drives and hard drives to the motherboard.
SATA cables are long, thin, 7-pin cables.
One end plugs into a port on the motherboard, usually labeled SATA, and the other into the back of a storage device like an SATA hard drive.
SATA storage devices can transmit data to and from the rest of the computer over twice as fast as an otherwise similar PATA device.

21. Components of Motherboard
11) RAM Slots:
A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot is what allows computer memory (RAM) to be inserted into the computer.
Depending on the motherboard, there may be 2 to 4 memory slots (sometimes more on high-end motherboards) and are what determine the type of RAM used with the computer.
The most common types of RAM are SDRAM and DDR for desktop computers.

22. Components of Motherboard
12) FAN Header:
Supplies power to the CPU heat sink fan and computer case fans.
It consists of 4 pins.

23. Components of Motherboard
13) CMOS Battery:
Alternatively referred to as a Real-Time Clock (RTC), Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) or CMOS RAM.
CMOS stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor.
CMOS is an on-board, battery powered semiconductor chip inside computers that stores information.
This information ranges from the system time and date to system hardware settings for your computer.
It also stores the BIOS data which helps in booting process.

24. Components of Motherboard
14) IDE Connector:
It Stands for Integrated Drive Electronics.
Rarely found today, IDE connectors were used to link to older hard drives.
In addition, until a couple of years ago, many optical drives supported IDE.
Today, all new storage devices ship with SATA.

25. Components of Motherboard
15) Jumpers:
Jumpers are used to configure the settings for computer peripherals such as the motherboard, hard drives, modems, sound cards, and other components.
For example, if your motherboard supported intrusion detection, a jumper can be set to enable or disable this feature.

27. Dependencies On Motherboard
All the components depend on motherboard.
SMPS supplies power to motherboard and all other components receive power from motherboard, this is also a reason that all the components are dependent on motherboard.
The working of all the peripheral devices are depend upon motherboard.

28. THINGS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF...
Prevent accumulation of dust inside cabinet.
Ensure there is proper air flow inside system cabinet.
Always Check if your CMOS battery is still working.
Check if the fans, especially the fan of your Processor’s one, is still working to prevent the creation of heat.

29. Latest Technologies
Biostar booth have already manufactured H170 motherboard and a B150 motherboard that had clearly defined DDR3 and DDR4 memory slots.
The H170Z3 looks similar to a standard mATX motherboard using a single PCIe 3.0 x16, a couple of PCI slots, support for USB 3.0, SATA Express and M.2. It’s the DRAM slots with different spacing that act as the giveaway.
Normally we have one USB 3.0 port and rest of the other USB ports are 2.0.
Currently we are using motherboard which supports Intel’s 5th generation processor.

30. UPCOMING TECHNOLOGIES
With Intel’s latest extreme platform, Haswell-E and X99, will support DDR4 and Intel’s 6th generation of processors, Skylake.
DDR3L and DDR4 RAM is about to be launched in the market shortly.
