All About Motherboards

PROJECT 3-3: Inserting and Removing Motherboards

Using old or defective expansion cards and motherboards, practice inserting and removing

expansion cards and motherboards. In a lab or classroom setting, the instructor can provide

extra cards and motherboards for exchange.

PROJECT 3-4: Understanding Hardware Documentation

Obtain the manual for the motherboard for your PC. (If you cannot ﬁnd the manual, try

downloading it from the motherboard manufacturer’s Web site.) Answer these questions:

1. What processors does the board support?

2. What type of RAM does the board support?

3. What is the maximum RAM the board can hold?

4. If the board has a PCIe slot, what version of PCIe does the board use?

5. What chipset does the board use?

PROJECT 3-5: Using the Internet for Research

In this project, you will learn how useful the Internet can be for a PC support technician.

1. Using your own or a lab computer, pretend that the motherboard manual is not available

and you need to replace a faulty processor. Identify the manufacturer and model of the

motherboard by looking for the manufacturer name and model number stamped on the

board. Research the Web site for that manufacturer. Print the list of processors the board

can support.

2. Research the Web site for your motherboard and print the instructions for ﬂashing BIOS.

3. Research the Abit Web site (www.abit.com.tw) and print a photograph of a motherboard

that has a riser slot. Also print the photograph of the riser card that ﬁts this slot. What is

the function of the riser card?

PROJECT 3-6: Exchanging the CMOS Battery

To practice the steps for exchanging a CMOS battery, do the following:

1. Locate the CMOS battery on your computer’s motherboard. What is written on top of

the battery?

2. Using the Internet, ﬁnd a replacement for this battery. Print the Web page showing the

battery. How much does the new battery cost?

3. Enter BIOS setup on your computer. Write down any BIOS settings that are not default

settings. You’ll need these settings later when you reinstall the battery.

4. Turn off and unplug the PC, press the power button to drain the system of power, remove the

battery, and boot the PC. What error messages appear? What is the system date and time?

5. Power down the PC, unplug it, press the power button to drain the power, replace the

battery, and boot the PC. Return BIOS settings to the way you found them.
