Jeopardy Review - CST8208 Part 3

The review covers troubleshooting procedures, CPU and socket components, expansion buses, and server rack specifications
The first troubleshooting step is to identify the problem
If changes to a client's system are suspected, back up the system first
The third step is testing the suspected theory by swapping hardware or trying generic drivers
After implementing a solution, verify the functionality
Consistently document findings throughout the troubleshooting process
A gold triangle on the CPU socket indicates pin 1
LGA (Land Grid Array) sockets have pins in the socket versus on the processor
Thermal compound is applied between the CPU and its heatsink
AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is Intel's main competitor in the CPU market
Hyper-threading is a feature that tricks the operating system into believing that a processor has double the cores it actually has
PCI Express is a serial expansion bus that's commonly used in today's PCs
PCI is a parallel 32-bit bus that's being phased out
PCI-X is the only expansion slot that allows backward compatibility with traditional PCI cards
x1 is the shortest PCIe slot often found on modern motherboards
Plug and Play is a feature of many modern expansion buses and allows self-configuration
Server racks are 19 inches wide
A 5U server chassis is 8.75 inches tall
The main power connector on a server motherboard has 24 pins (same as ATX)
Xeon is a common server-class Intel processor line
A headless server lacks a connected monitor
