what-is

Hi everyone, i'm just looking an old mother board waiting for my favorite TVShow and and i wonder what's this component? Every motherboard i've seen have this kind of solenoid (I am sure that you already settled this question). But what is this? What is his function? If an hardware specialist can try to answer my question.. I will be an happy man..

I join a Picture.. Strange and mystic kind of solenoid.
