The motherboard in the computer binds together all its components: processor, RAM, hard drives and other components. So that all these devices can work in normal mode, it is necessary to provide them with support in the BIOS of the motherboard. However, the system unit can be formed from components released much later than the motherboard, and in the already existing Bios there are no information about them. To add it, you should update the BIOS.
