The motherboard has a certain number of input/output sockets found on the rear panel.
Most motherboards have the following connectors:
- A serial port, for connecting old peripherals;
- A parallel port, mainly for connecting old printers;
- USB ports (1.1, low-speed, or 2.0, high-speed), for connecting more recent peripherals;
- RJ45 connector (called LAN or ethernet port) used for connecting the computer to a network. It corresponds to a network card integrated into the motherboard;
- VGA connector (called SUB-D15), for connecting a monitor. This connector interfaces with the built-in graphics card;
- Audio plugs (Line-In, Line-Out and microphone), for connecting sound speakers or a hi-fi system, as well as a microphone. This connector interfaces with the built-in sound card;
