Study Notes
Jeopardy CST8208 Final Review - Part 3
- The review covers troubleshooting procedures, CPU and socket components, expansion buses, server components, and memory types.
- A tiered point system is present, incrementing in 10 point intervals
- The format is question-and-answer based
Troubleshooting Procedure
- The first step in troubleshooting involves identifying the problem.
- Beep codes and error messages might be helpful when identifying issues.
CPU and Sockets
- Pin 1 location on a CPU socket is marked by a gold triangle.
- LGA (Land Grid Array) sockets have pins in the socket, not the processor.
Expansion Buses
- PCI Express (PCIe) is a serial expansion bus common in today's PCs.
- PCI is a parallel 32-bit bus, gradually being discontinued.
- PCI-X is the only expansion slot providing backward compatibility with older PCI cards.
- x1 is the shortest PCIe slot type.
Server Components
- 19 inches is the standard width of a server rack.
- A 5U server chassis is 8.75 inches tall.
- A server motherboard's main power connector has 24 pins, matching the ATX standard.
- Xeon is a popular server-class Intel processor line.
- A headless server lacks a connected monitor.
Memory Types
- ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory corrects errors.
- Buffered/Registered memory is another type.
- Blade server enclosures are modular rack-mounted units for space-efficient server storage.
- KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switches enable connecting multiple servers to one keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
- Redundant power supplies are fault-tolerant power units often present in servers.
- Audio adapter capabilities are frequently integrated into desktop PCs but less common in server motherboards.
