Daughter board

Also known as a piggyback board, daughter boards are expansion boards that commonly connect directly to the motherboard and give the computer an added feature such as modem capability. Today, these types of boards are not found or used in desktop computers and have been replaced with ISA or PCI boards. However, many laptops use these types of boards.

To disable these types of boards the user must physically remove it from the motherboard.
