MOTHERBOARD WITH CONNECTOR COMPATIBLE WITH DIFFERENT INTERFACE STANDARDS

摘要

A motherboard includes a first connector, a first signal module, a second signal module, a control module, a power module, and a switch module. The first connector is used to connect external devices to the motherboard. The first signal module and the second signal module are compatible for external devices under different interface standards. The control module outputs different control signals to control the switch module corresponding to the external device connected to the motherboard. The switch module connects the first signal module or the second signal module to the first connector corresponding to the control signals received from the control module.
