Audio Connectors
Audio Cables and connectors Digital audio connectors (coaxial on the top, optical on the bottom) Digital connection, also known as SPDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interconnect Format). Two flavors, coaxial (using a mono RCA connector ) or optical (using a connector called Toslink ). Analog audio connectors (Usually 3.5 mm mini jack)
Power supply connectors
PSU Connectors 24(20+4)-pin Main Connector – connects to motherboards – 20-pin for ATX12V 1.x – 24-pin for ATX12V 2.x (provide extra power to PCI-E slots) 4-pin (Big) Peripheral Connector – connects to ATA devices (IDE HDD/ODD), fans, case lightings, etc. – a.k.a. “4 pin Molex” 4-pin (Small) Floppy Connector – connects to floppy drive – sometimes used to provide auxiliary power to AGP video cards 15-pin SATA Connector – connects to Serial ATA devices (SATA HDD/ODD) 4-pin ATX12V Connector – connects to the motherboard – a.k.a. “P4” cable – added two +12V lines to power the CPU and motherboard 8(4+4)-pin EPS12V Connector – connects to the motherboard (newer models) – a.k.a. “P8” cable – added four +12V lines to power the CPU and motherboard 6-pin PCI-E Connector – connects to PCI-E expansion cards – a.k.a. “PEG” (PCI-E Graphics) – provide auxiliary power to PCI-E video cards that require >75W 8(6+2)-pin PCI-E Connector – connects to PCI-E expansion cards – provide ...

Basic & Major Parts of Motherboard and its Functions Parts of Motherboard Parts of Motherboard. What is Motherboard? Motherboard is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with different hardware components on it. It’s the electric conductor of the computer, responsible of distributing current and communication on each hardware components and chipset (CPU, RAM & etc.). Motherboard is also often called as Planar board, MOBO, MB, Mainboard, System Board, Logic Board, Base Board and Backplane Board. Basic Motherboard Components Processor Socket North Bridge South Bridge RAM/Memory Slot x2 24 pin ATX Power Connector I/O ( Input Output) PCI express x16 PCI SATA Connector CMOS Backup Battery These are the basic parts of the Motherboard. Later we will discuss each functions. Knowing the basic parts of the Motherboard is important for all computer users. It may not be necessary but it will give you a big advantage. For now, at least you know what a processor ...
