5. Adapter card connectors.
Adapter card connectors are sockets on the system board into which
adapter cards are installed. Your system board has four adapter card
connectors (for the 2163 machine, there is an additional AGP video
connector). One of these connectors is for an ISA card and three are for PCI
cards. Since two of these connectors are shared (one ISA and one PCI next
to it), only three cards (excluding the AGP video card) can be installed at
any time.
6. Adapter cards.
Adapter cards add to your computer's capabilities.
7. Adapter card slots.
Adapter card slots are the holes in the back of the tower that permit external
access to adapter cards.
8. System board.
The system board is the main circuit board in your computer. It contains the
processor, also known as the central processing unit (CPU), and the system
battery. It also contains sockets for memory modules, connectors for
adapter cards, and connectors for the cables that carry data to and from
drives.
9. Power supply.
The power supply provides the electricity that is used by the other hardware
components in your computer. This model may come with a 95W power
supply.
