Boardview of the ASUS Z97-AR motherboard, revision 1.00A, supplied in ASUS .fz format inside a 198 KB RAR archive. BDV in the name means boardview. Technicians use this kind of file to find parts and test points, follow nets between chips and connectors, and compare a working rail map with readings taken on a faulty Intel Z97 board. Suitable viewers are FlexBV, Boardviewer and OpenBoardView. Check that the revision printed on the PCB matches 1.00A, because layouts can shift between revisions.
