*These are the connectors at the back of the system unit that allows a computer to connect external peripherals such as monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse as well as the power source.

Back Panel and I/O Connectors

*It is a bit like a battery that stores energy in a form of electrostatic field. *It consist of two plates of conductor and a dielectric insulator

Capacitor

*It is a component that stores all the BIOS information such as the system time and date, as well as the hardware setting. *The battery found on most motherboard is the CR2032 litium Coin cell

CMOS Battery or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Battery

*It is designed to connect the processor to motherboard and ensures correct circuit chip insertion. *It composes of pins that secure and hold the processor in place.

CPU Socket or Processor Socket

*It is a metallic hardware component that absorbs heat from microprocessor chip by dissipating it into the air to prevent device overheating.

Heatsink

*It is used to connect hard drives and optical devices to a motherboard with a long flat ribbon cable.

IDE Connector or Integrated Drive Electronics Connector

*It consist of a conductor such as wire and is usually twisted into a coil. *It generates a magnetic field when the current is passed through it and stores the energy in the form of a magnetic field. *It is also known as electromagnetic coil, coil or reactor

Inductor

*It is a small metal connector that allows a comouter to close an electrical circuit. *It consist a plastic plug that fits over a potruding pin and covered with a small plastic box. *It is also used to configure a motherboard, hard drive and other peripherals.

*This motherboard was introduced by IBM on August 1984. *It was designed to have a wider board than ATX form factor bh 4 inches. * It uses 12 pin plugs to power the motherboard and has limited connectors outside *This motherbiard has been replaced by Baby AT and ATX form factor.

AT or Advanced Technology

*It is a form factor introduced by IBM in 1985. * It is a replacement for AT Motherboard and is commonly referred to as "BAT". *It was the first motherboard to build socket for I/O ports (serial, parallel). *Its board is smaller than the AT with 8.5" width and 13"depth. *This board is considered obsolete and superseded by ATX form Factor.

Baby AT

*It is a variant of Baby AT used in low profile desktop and was originally developed by Western Digital in the 1980s. *It was inteded for smaller cases and usually has two or more expansion boards. *It has video adapters integrated into thr motherboard. *It was replaced by NLX form factor in 1987

LPX (Low Profile Extended)

*It is a motherboard introduced by Intel in 1987. *The expansion card of these motherboard are perpendicular to the board unlike LPX form factor. *It was developed by Intel on july 1995 to superseded the Baby AT designed. *This is the common motherboard design in the market. *It allows board makers to customize the ports in the back with back plates which are impossible in AT. *It offers a wide range of computing capacities.

ATX or Advanced Technology Extended

*It is a form factor intended to improve the thermal dissipation and to decrease the needs for power. *It was introduced on september 2003 by Intel. *It allows a wide range of system sizes and profiles.
