Abstract
Abstract A circuit module includes one or a plurality of semiconductor parts (32-45, 122), a substrate (31, 121) having the semiconductor parts mounted thereon, and terminals (58, 128) arranged on an outer periphery of the substrate along a plurality of sides of said substrate. The circuit module is connected to a board of a computer by plugging the terminals into corresponding terminal holes, so that the terminals are used in common for providing electrical connection and mechanical connection with the board of the computer.
