Figure 2-7.—Physica1 layout of a card cage or rack used in a minicomputer. Figure 2-7 is an example of a card cage or rack used in a  minicomputer. BACKPLANE   OR   MOTHERBOARD.— Backplanes or motherboards are stationary and are generally located inside the computer’s chassis. In this arrangement, all the subassemblies or pcb’s needed to run the computer are contained on a single backplane or  motherboard.  The  number  of  functional  areas contained on a single subassembly or pcb may vary according   to   the   technology   of   the   computer. Computers  that  use  a  backplane  or  motherboard  are compact. Figure 2-8 is an example of a backplane used in a microcomputer. Individual Physical Layouts of Computer Parts Using  individual  physical  layouts,  the  technical manuals depict each part of the computer separately. By separating each major part of the computer, you can break down the computer from a whole unit to the Figure  2-8.—Example  of  a  backplane  used  in  a microcomputer. 2-6
