Remember

Clamping voltage: The level at which a surge protector starts protecting the computer. The lower the value, the better the protection. Clamping speed: How much time elapses before protection begins. The lower the value, the better the protection. Surge protectors cannot normally protect against power spikes (over voltages of short duration) because of their rated clamping speed. Energy absorption/ dissipation: The greater the number of joules (a unit of energy) that can be dissipated, the more effective and durable a surge protector is. This feature is sometimes called energy absorption. A surge protector rating of 630 joules is more effective than a rating of 210 joules. TVS (transient voltage suppressing) rating: This is also known as the response time. The lower the rating, the better is the surge protector. For example, a 330 TVS-rated surge protector is better than a 400 TVS-rated one. UL rating: UL (Underwriters Laboratories) developed the UL 1449 VPR (voltage protection rating) standard to measure the maximum amount of voltage a surge protector will let through to the attached devices. The UL 497A standard is for phone line protection, and the UL 1283 standard is for EMI/RFI.

fire extinguisher classes

Class A: Solids (wood, paper, rubber, fabrics, and plastics) Class B: Flammable liquids and gases (gasoline, oils, paint, lacquer, and tar) Class C: Flammable glasses (propane, butane, and methane) Class D: Metals (aluminium, magnesium, and titanium)

When disassembling a computer, which tool will help you remove the memory module? A Magnetic screwdriver B Needlenose pliers C #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver D Antistatic wrist strap

D Antistatic wrist strap

Delay Prior to Thermal: Defines the number of minutes the system waits to shut down the system once an overheating situation occurs CPU Warning Temperatures: Specifies the CPU temperature at which a warning message is displayed on the screen ACPI Function: Enables or disables ACPI This is the preferred method for disabling ACPI in the event of a problem Soft-off: Specifies the length of time a user must press the power button to turn off the computer Power on by Ring, Resume by Ring, or Wakeup: Uses less power and only wakes from S4/S5 states with the power button or a RTC (real time clock) alarm, such as waking the computer to complete a task Deep S4/S5: Allows the computer to wake when an adapter or an external device supports Wake on Ring Resume by Alarm: Allows a date and time to be set when the system is awakened from Suspend mode and commonly used to update the system during nonpeak periods Wake Up on LAN: Allows the computer to wake when a Wake on LAN signal is received across the network CPU THRM Throttling: Allows a reduction in CPU speed when the system reaches a specific temperature Power on Function: Specifies which key (or key combination) will activate the system's power Hot Key Power On: Defines what keystrokes will reactivate system power. Doze Mode: When the system is in a reduced activity state, the CPU clock is throttled (slowed down). All other devices operate at full speed. After Power Failure: Sets power mode after a power loss

the fire extinguisher substances

Dry Chemicals: Uses an extinguishing chemical to put out a fire. Halon: Interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire to put it out. Water: Used by Class A fire extinguishers as a propellant. CO2: Used by Class B and Class C fire extinguishers to cool the burning items and surrounding air.

An optical drive randomly becomes unavailable, and after replacing the drive, the technician now suspects a power issue. What could help in this situation? A A UPS B A surge protector C Antistatic wipes D A preventive maintenance plan E A multimeter

Surge suppressor: Provides the best and least-expensive power protection for a computer and monitor. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): Provides the best protection for a server and serves as battery backup in the event of a power failure. This is because most servers contain crucial and sometimes real-time data. Note: Connecting a laser printer to a UPS could result in damage to the printer. Line conditioner: Provides the best protection for a laser printer, which should be the only device plugged into it, because of the printer's high current draw. The line conditioner protects specifically against "dirty" power.
