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 (MMO) 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
