Abstract

A motherboard includes a printed circuit board, a first chip and a second chip arranged on the printed circuit board in parallel. A plurality of securing holes are defined in the printed circuit board around the first chip. At least one isolating hole is defined in the printed circuit board between the second chip and a first line determined by two of the securing holes close to the second chip. Should the printed circuit board suffer an impact, damage to the chips may be effectively minimized or prevented.
