MOTHER BOARD Modern motherboards include, at a minimum: Mother Board
Sockets in which one or more processors are installed Slots into which the system's main memory is installed (typically in the form of DIMM modules containing DRAM chips) A chipset which forms an interface between the CPU's front-side bus, main memory, and peripheral buses Non-volatile memory chips (usually Flash ROM in modern motherboards) containing the system's firmware or BIOS A clock generator which produces the system clock signal to synchronize the various components Slots for expansion cards (these interface to the system via the buses supported by the chipset) Power connectors, which receive electrical power from the computer power supply and distribute it to the CPU, chipset, main memory, and expansion cards

MOTHER BOARD Mother Board
Connectors to support commonly-used input devices, such as PS/2 connectors for a mouse and keyboard. Minimal peripheral support on the motherboard. Typically video and network interface hardware is also integrated into the motherboard I/O ports like Serial, Parallel and USB and their associated driver chips Disk controller, typically SATA disk controller, for Hard Disk and CD/DVD Drives Given the high thermal design power of high-speed computer CPUs and components, modern motherboards nearly always include heat sinks and mounting points for fans to dissipate excess heat.

CD/DVD Drive CD (Compact Disk) DVD (Digital Video Disk) Blu Ray CD/DVD
Capacity is 700 to 800 MB Optical storage device. Data is read from CD by a laser. Stores data as light and dark spots on the disk surface. They have an unlimited life-span. RO, R & RW CDs I/O Rate is Nx where 1x is 150KB/s, Read & Write speeds are not same, upto 52x speeds available DVD (Digital Video Disk) 4.7 GB RO, R & RW DVDs I/O Rate is Nx where 1x is 1.35MB/s, Read & Write speeds are not same, upto 20x speeds available Blu Ray Upto 50 GB User Blue Laser

BIOS BIOS is an acronym that stands for Basic Input/Output System.
BIOS refers, in part, to the firmware code (a type of boot loader) run by a PC when first powered on. The primary function of the BIOS is to identify and initialize system component hardware such as the video display card, hard disk, and floppy disk and some other hardware devices. This is to prepare the machine into a known low capability state, so other software programs stored on various media can be loaded, executed, and given control of the PC. BIOS Setup allows to set the boot sequence and system date and time among other things.
16
Computer Assembly Computer Assembly In India Computers are assembled in factory although all the major components like the motherboard, CPU, Hard Disk, RAM DIMMs, CD/DVD Drives, Keyboard, Mouse, TFT Displays etc. are all imported. The computer system is run through a process of Quality assurance which includes a burn test and functional testing. The Operating system may be preloaded or reloaded by the customer.
17
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Some of the typical problems faced in Computers which could be related to hardware issues are: No power in the system System not booting System boots with beep sounds System Reboots repeatedly System has a humming sound System boots with a blue screen System displays non system boot disk message when booted System does not boot with a CD/DVD disk Monitor does not receive signal from the computer To troubleshoot a problem, experience is commonly used to generate possible causes of the symptoms. Determining which cause is most likely is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem.
