Task 1: Examine the Motherboard
Procedure
1. Examine the following motherboard. One interesting thing you will see is the use of two BIOS chips. The M-BIOS chip is the Main BIOS chip and the B-BIOS chip is the Backup BIOS chip, which is used to rewrite the M-BIOS chip if it becomes corrupted. (Refer to the high-resolution images for closer inspection.)
2. Using the Internet, locate information on the LGA 1156 connector. What processors is it used with? What is its purpose on the motherboard?
Answer: LGA 1156 works with Intel Celeron, core i3, i5, i7, Pentium, and the Intel Xeon. The purpose for the LGA 1156 connector which stands for land grid array it is designed to take the 1156 pin processor, such as the Intel "Clarksdale" processors without the "socket" you can’t put in a processor.
3. Using the Internet, locate information on the Intel H55 Chipset. What processors is it used with? What is its purpose on the motherboard?
Answer: The H55 Supports the Intel Core i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium Processors in the LGA1156 Package. It is designed to provide the interface for the PCI express lanes on a motherboard.
4. Using the Internet, locate information on the Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H motherboard. What interesting information can you find?
Answer: It will enable the ON CPU graphics chip to control graphics. And it was one of the 1st series of motherboards that had that option.
Task 2: Examine the Chipset and Connectors
1. Examine the following motherboard. (Refer to the high-resolution images for closer inspection.)
2. Using the Internet, locate information on the AMD 770 Northbridge Chipset. What processors is it used with? What is its purpose on the motherboard?
Answer: It is mainly used for the latest generation Phenom II processors, Athlon II and Sempron 100 series processors. The main purpose is to make the link between the processor and the rest of the computer.
3. Using the Internet, locate information on the AMD SB710 Southbridge Chipset. What
