Study Notes
Jeopardy Review - CST8208 Part 2
- Jeopardy game format used for final review of CST8208 course materials.
- Questions and answers related to computer hardware and software concepts are presented.
Jeopardy Categories and Point Values
- The categories are:
- Talk Nerdy to Me
- I'm Only Here Because You Broke Something
- PC Hardware
- Geek-Speak
- These Headings Don't Actually Mean Anything
- Point values range from 10 to 50.
RAID 6
- RAID 6 can withstand the failure of two hard drives while still recovering data.
PCI-X Expansion Bus
- The bus width of the PCI-X expansion bus is 64 bits.
Overprovisioning
- Overprovisioning is a technique for setting aside a portion of a solid-state drive for maintenance purposes.
SAS and SATA Interfaces
- SAS cards can support SATA drives.
Dot Matrix Printer Heads
- Dot matrix printers still use 9-pin and 24-pin heads, though 18-pin heads are less common.
USB Port Colors
- USB 3.0 ports are blue.
- USB ports with sleep-and-charge capabilities are often red or yellow.
EEPROM and ROM
- EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) can be flashed using software utilities.
DDR2 Memory Speed
- The effective bus speed of DDR2 memory, PC2-6400, is 800 MHz.
Boot Types
- A cold boot is required when a system was completely shut down and then powered back up.
Ink Cartridge Colors
- Ink cartridges in ink jet printers typically use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
- FireWire was an older competitor to USB for external expansion options.
Laser Printer Transferring
- Transferring is a step in the laser printing process where the paper is charged to attract toner from the photosensitive drum.
USB 2.0 Transfer Mode
- The transfer mode used with USB 2.0 is "Hi speed."
Processor Clock Speed and Multiplier
- A processor with a 200 MHz base clock speed and a 17x multiplier results in a 3.4 GHz speed.
Warm Boot Memory Count
- During a warm boot, PC memory is not counted during POST because the system isn't fully powered down, and that process requires a complete system off state before adding or removing memory.
USB Data Transfer Coordination
- USB is "host-based" because it needs a host to manage data transfers, whereas FireWire is considered "peer-to-peer."
LCD Monitor Refresh Rate
- The most common refresh rate for LCD monitors is 60 Hz.
AMD Server Processor
- AMD's most common server processor is the "Epyc."
SATA Third Generation Transfer Rate
- The maximum transfer rate for the most recent SATA (third generation) is 6 Gb/s.
ExpressCard
- ExpressCard replaced PC Cards for external expansion slots in laptops.
