Identifying parts on the system board
The system board, also called the
planar
or
motherboard
, is the main circuit
board in your computer.
It provides basic computer functions and supports
a variety of devices that are IBM-installed or that you can install later.
See
the following illustration for the location of parts on the system board.
Note:
An illustration of the system board with additional information is
provided on a label located on the inside of the computer chassis.
