1. Trigger, shorting the power-on pin (power button) will have a 3.3-0-3.3 transition signal on the IO.
2. Request power-on, after the IO receives the signal, it will send the PWRBNT# signal to the South Bridge to request power-on.
3. Allow power-on, after the South Bridge receives PWRBNT#, it sends the SLP_3# signal to the IO, indicating that power-on is allowed.
4. Power-on, the IO sends a continuously low-level signal to the ATX power supply green wire, and the power supply outputs various main powers.
5. At this point, the hard boot of the motherboard is completed (power-on part).

Step by Step
Motherboard Basics
Methods/Steps
1
The motherboard is the performance framework of a desktop computer, which organically connects performance components such as the CPU and memory. The quality of the motherboard in the entire machine is crucial.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware

First, let's take a look at the CPU socket.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware

The one with the "Attention!" yellow label in the above picture is the CPU socket.
The data flow of the CPU needs to pass through the North Bridge chip. The North Bridge chip is hidden under the heat sink on the left side of the CPU socket.
The CPU itself also needs cooling. So the CPU has its own independent heat sink.

The effect after installation is as shown in the figure.
The power supply of the CPU is a topic of concern for players. Because the quality of the CPU power supply on the current motherboard reflects the quality of the motherboard to a certain extent.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware
CPU power supply module
The "N-phase power supply" often heard from players refers to the number of phases of the power supply module. Generally speaking, one phase = one inductor + 1-3 capacitors + 3 Hall elements.
Now, most motherboards are 4+1 phase power supply, and some high-end motherboards will far exceed this number.
In order to obtain a purer current, current motherboards use a combination of all-solid capacitors + ferrite inductors (the black cubes in the figure) as shown in the above figure.
The above figure shows a complete 8-phase CPU power supply system.
The group of interfaces below the CPU are memory slots.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware
The data flow of memory processing is also controlled by the North Bridge chip, but now Intel's Core i-series processors have integrated the North Bridge chip, which greatly reduces the latency of data exchange between the CPU and memory.
Memory slots have strong restrictions on memory, and memories of different generations are not compatible. For example, the difference between the DDR2 slot and the DDR3 slot in the following figure is very large.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware
The South Bridge chip is responsible for the data transmission in the internal function expansion area of the motherboard. The hard drive, optical drive, graphics card, sound card, network card, and media and peripheral interfaces are all controlled by the South Bridge chip.
The North Bridge and South Bridge are collectively called a chipset. Generally, the name of the chipset is named after the North Bridge chip.
Above the South Bridge chip is the internal main function expansion area of the motherboard - the PCI slot area.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware
The PCI technology makes the motherboard have stronger expandability. From the above figure, we can see a PCI slot responsible for media data, two PCI-E 1X slots responsible for expanding ports, and four PCI-E 2.0 16X slots specially for graphics cards. It should be noted that having several PCI-E 2.0 16X slots does not mean that several graphics cards can be interconnected.
Since the network card, sound card, and data ports are now integrated on the motherboard, the PCI slot and PCI-E 1X slot are just placeholder roles.
Next, let's introduce some relatively important data interfaces and components on the motherboard.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware
The blue interface on the far right in the above figure is the IDE data interface, which is an earlier data port, mainly responsible for the data exchange between the hard drive and the optical drive. If the IDE port is connected to the hard drive, it is also called the PATA interface at this time. Currently, the IDE interface is gradually being replaced by the SATA interface.
The four adjacent white interfaces are SATA2.0 interfaces. This is the most widely used data interface for optical drives and hard drives at present. The SATA2.0 technology has a faster speed and lower energy consumption than the IDE technology.
The two black interfaces to the left of the SATA2.0 interface are the latest SATA3.0 interfaces. SATA3.0 has almost comparable read and write speeds to SSDs and proud low power consumption, and its cost-effectiveness is also far higher than SSDs, receiving enthusiastic praise from players.
The two black chips next to the capacitor in Figure 11 are the most critical components on the motherboard - Dual BIOS. They are the nerve center of the entire motherboard and also the nerve center of the entire desktop computer. They are powered by an independent 3V button battery.
Finally, let's take a look at the external data ports of the motherboard.
Understanding Computers from Scratch: Desktop Hardware
The above figure is an external data port of an integrated motherboard, and the so-called integrated motherboard is a motherboard with an integrated graphics card.

A non-integrated motherboard with a USB3.0 interface
Now some motherboards are equipped with the most advanced USB3.0 interface. Its actual transmission speed can reach 30MB/s, the same as that of a desktop hard drive, which is 15 times that of USB2.0.
