Internal Design
The motherboard PCA is the central component of the OmniBook design. It plays a role in virtually
all system functions. The CPU module and most other subsystems connect to the motherboard.
The following figure shows the connections among the replaceable electrical modules. As a substitute
for a functional block diagram, see the table on page 1-14—it lists the roles that the replaceable
modules play in each of the functional subsystems.
