Lesson 2: Motherboards
The motherboard is the PC's center of activity. All devices in a computer are in some way connected to the motherboard. It hosts the largest single collection of chips of any PC component and serves as the "street system" for the grid of wires that link all the components, making it possible for them to communicate.
After this lesson, you will be able to:
- Identify a motherboard and its functions.
- Locate and define the components of a motherboard.
- Safely remove and replace a motherboard.
