    Study Notes

    ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)

    • ESD can occur when handling sensitive components, such as motherboards and hard drives
    • It can cause harm to these components, leading to failure or malfunction
    • Situations where ESD can be an issue:
      • When assembling a PC
      • During preventive maintenance on a PC
      • When upgrading an ATX motherboard

    Motherboard Components

    • Boot operations are controlled by the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and the chipset
    • The chipset provides communication between components, while the BIOS initializes hardware components during boot-up

    Memory and Storage

    • DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) is a type of RAM that allows data transfer on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal
    • SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is a type of storage interface that connects devices, such as hard drives and solid-state drives, to the motherboard

    Safety and Environmental Factors

    • Laser printers can be hazardous due to the risk of electrical shock and fire
    • Dusty environments can affect laptop performance and longevity
    • Cleaning computer components requires care to avoid damage or electrical shock
    • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide information on handling hazardous materials

    Network Concepts

    • UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a transport-layer protocol that provides connectionless communication
    • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a transport-layer protocol that provides connection-oriented communication
    • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol that assigns IP addresses and other network settings to devices
    • DNS (Domain Name System) is a network protocol that translates human-readable domain names to IP addresses

    Printing and Peripherals

    • Inkjet printers and laser printers have different printing technologies and uses
    • Collating and printing documents can be configured in print settings
    • Laser printers require regular maintenance, including replacing toner cartridges and cleaning the printer

    Virtualization and Cloud Computing

    • Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server
    • Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computing resources and storage over the internet
    • Hypervisors, such as VMware and VirtualBox, allow multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server

    Troubleshooting and Security

    • Troubleshooting involves identifying and resolving issues with computer systems and networks
    • Security risks include unauthorized access, data breaches, and malware infections
    • Change management processes involve assessing and implementing changes to computer systems and networks
