Identifying parts on the motherboard

The motherboard (sometimes called the planar or system board) is the main circuit board in your computer.
It provides basic computing functions and supports a variety of devices that are factory-installed or that
you can install later. The following illustration shows the location of connectors and components on the
front of the motherboard.
