...Lab 4: Identify Motherboard Components and Form Factors Task 1: Procedure 2. Using Internet Explorer, locate information on the LGA 1156 connector. What processors is it used with? What is its purpose on the motherboard? Socket 1156, or LGA1156, also known as socket H1, is a Land Grid Array socket used by the first generation of workstation-class Intel Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, as well as Xeon 300 series microprocessors. The socket supports dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM memory controller, Direct Media Interface running at 2.5 GT/s, and PCI Express interface. The socket H1 works with processors with frequencies from 1.86 GHz to 3.46 GHz. It is supported by Intel® DMI Interconnect and integrated with the Dual-channel memory controller with 4 DIMM slots DDR3 memory. It supports the Intel Turbo boost technology and smart cache. http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%201156%20(LGA1156).html http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en-us/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=473#ov 3. Using Internet Explorer, locate information on the Intel H55 Chipset. What processors is it used with? What is its purpose on the motherboard? The Intel H55 Chipset includes the FDI (Flexible Display Interface) which enables direct connection between the CPU and the graphics core. This allows the display information to be sent back to the H55 chipset for output. The graphics core inside the Clarkdale processor is known as GMA HD.

...Lab 4: Identify Motherboard Components and Form Factors (hands-on) * Motherboard: Is an essential piece of any computer system. It’s what you plug your components into, and what your components use to “talk” to each other. When explaining how computer systems and components work, I like to compare them to that of the human body. How? Because if the CPU (Central Processing Unit) were the brain of the machine, then the motherboard would have to be the nervous system. It works very similarly to the nervous system, in that it essentially coordinates the actions and signals from the CPU (brain) to and from the rest of the machine. A. Motherboard Components: 1. Back panel connectors and Ports: Connectors and ports for connecting the computer to external devices such as display ports, audio ports, USB ports, Ethernet ports, PS/2 ports. 2. PCI SLOTS: PCI: Peripheral Component Interconnect Slot for older expansion cards such as sound cards, network cards, connector cards. See image below for a close-up view. Have been largely replaced by PCI-Express x1 slots (see motherboard parts #3 below). 3. PCI Express x1 slots: Slot for modern expansion cards such as sound cards, network cards (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth), connector cards (USB, FireWire, eSATA) and certain low-end graphics cards. See image below for a close-up view. 4. PCI Express x16 slots: Slot for discrete graphic cards and high bandwidth devices such as top-end solid state drives. See image below for a...

...Exploring the Motherboard and Busses Exploring the Motherboard and Busses The motherboard represents the logical foundation of the computer. Everything that makes a computer must be attached to the motherboard. Answer the following questions: 1. What are the major components of the motherboard? Provide a brief description of each component. 1. Processor (CPU): The processor is the brain of the computer and is the chip where all the computing is done. 2. Memory: This is where the computer stores information while it is working on it. 3. Chipset: The chipset is a link between the processor and the outside world, and handles things like controlling the hard drives, the USB ports, the keyboard and mouse, generates the sounds the computer makes, and sometimes even creates the pictures you see on the screen. 4. Expansion Slots: Expansion slots are connectors that allow you to attach additional cards on the computer, such as video cards, sound cards, modems, and add abilities to the computer that the motherboard doesn’t provide. 5. I/O (Inputs/ Outputs): These are a set of connectors that allows you to connect various devices to the computer, such as the keyboard, monitor, mouse, hard drives, flash drives, printers, and connect the computer to a network. 2.
