1. Computer Form
Factors

2. A form factor is a specification of physical
dimensions, layouts, and other explicit
information that helps ensure the hardware
works with products that support that form
factor
Computer form factors are related to other
computer hardware.
But here we generally talking about
Motherboard Form factors, which are directly
related to the power supply and computer
casing as well.

3. Incomputing, theform factoris the
specification of a motherboard -the
dimensions, power supply type, location of
mounting holes, number of ports on the
back panel, etc…
Standard form factors ensure that parts are
interchangeable across different vendors
and generations of technology.
(in enterprise computing, form factors ensure that server modules fit
into existingrackmountsystems).
Most significant specification is for that of
the motherboard, which generally dictates
the overall size of the computer case.
Therefore Small form Factorshave been
developed and implemented
