2. A motherboard (also called
main board or system board)
is a basic foundation of a
computer that connects all
the crucial components or
parts of a system.
8. IDE allows for the connection and
communication between a computer's
motherboard and its storage devices.
9. SATA (Serial ATA) is a
computer interface
standard that allows for
the transfer of data
between storage devices,
such as hard disk drives
(HDDs), solid-state drives
(SSDs), and optical drives,
and a computer's
motherboard
10. PCI slot is a built-in slot on a device that allows
for the attachment of various hardware
components such as network cards, modems,
sound cards, disk controllers and other
peripherals
13. The northbridge manages the
speed at which the CPU
communicates with the
components. It also controls the
processor, the AGP video slot,
and the RAM.
14. The southbridge chipset controls
the rest of the components
connected to the computer,
including communication between
the processor and expansion ports
such as USB ports and sound
cards.
15. The CMOS (complementary
metal oxide semiconductor)
battery, also called coin-cell
battery on the motherboard
helps the BIOS or UEFI(Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface)
to store the hardware
configuration settings.
16. BIOS instructs the computer
on how to perform basic
functions like booting and
keyboard control; it is also
used to identify and configure
the hardware in a computer
such as the hard drive, CPU,
memory, and related
equipment.
17. Ports can provide a range of functions, such as
sending and receiving information, connecting to
a screen or attaching useful tools like a mouse or
tablet.
