What Component Of A Motherboard Is Not Considered To Be A Field Replaceable Unit?

Motherboard and its components

The motherboard of the computer establishes the connection between the various parts of the computer.it is the backbone of the computer without it the connection is not possible and the computer does not work as well. The parts are hard disk, RAM, processor the external cards all are plugged into the motherboard.

The motherboard is the hub of the computer it has various names such as the system board, logic board, etc., It has different components which are characterized in three different ways.

Motherboard location

The motherboard is present in the mobile, laptop, and pc. Simply it is present in every form of the computer but in all the location is different.

In PC: The motherboard is in the rectangular case; inside it, the red/blue/green color plate is the motherboard.

In laptop: if the laptop is open from the bottom the motherboard is located in front of it.

In mobile devices: The back of the mobile devices when you open it then the motherboard will become visible to you.

Motherboard components characterization

The motherboard is divided into components based on the character and they are listed below:

Form factor:

The form factor related to the dimension, electrical needs the arrangements of the motherboard. The ATX is the latest technology of the motherboard in the computers.

Chipset:

The chipset is used to connect and manage the resources i.e., the cache memory, RAM, the expansion cards, etc., the data transfer between the computers is managed by the chipset.

PCI slots:

The PCI slots are used to connects the cards for expansions into the system. The cards such as Sound cards, video cards, network cards. But the latest system doe not need the PCI slots.

Though you have learned about the motherboard and its components then a question is arising related to its which is listed below:
