Computer Hardware

Computer hardware is a general term used to refer to all the physical parts of a computer. Internal hardware devices include hard drives and motherboards, while external hardware devices include monitors, mice, keyboards, and printers.

Difference between hardware and software failure?

Should be obvious. Hardware faults are problems with the hardware. Software faults are problems with the software. Hardware = physical components of the computer (i.g. motherboard, hard drive, power supply). Software = computer programs

How many megabytes are in 1.26 GB?

1 gb would hold 100 to 200 songs, mb is determined on the length of your song

How can a simple electromagnet be made?

first, you have to have a ferromagnetic core, like an iron bolt.

then, you wind a magnetic wire around it. the thicker the winding, the stronger the magnet.

the tips of the wire should be protruding so you can connect it to a source. skin the tips of the wire, too.

connect the wire to a dc source and you got an electromagnet.

What type of link on the manufacturer's website usually leads you to manuals and other documentation?

They are typically "A" elements in HTML.

They can also be "onclick" events, running something like javascript that performs a window.open action.

How voltage regulator on motherboard work?

There are several.

Some use an A/C inverter. The DC is put through an oscillator using a coil. A switching transistor then charges a capacitor, while a dedicated power supply chip controls the mark/space ratio of the pulses, to regulate the voltage and current.

Simpler devices, like the 7805, are power transistors which have a zener base reference, to control the voltage passed by the transistor. These just add resistance to a higher voltage and reduce it to a lower one. They run quite hot and have heat sinks.

If the computer screen is blank when you turn the computer on How do you fix it?

Try this, find another computer and hook the monitor onto it, see if it's blank then.

What to do:

1) If the monitor is not blank then your other computer probably needs a video driver (need help on this? ask another question and I will try to answer you) OR

Your graphics card might be burnt out and you might need to purchase a new one.

2) If the monitor is still blank, try to obtain another vga cable(the blue plug thing), if still blank go buy a new monitor

**Hope this helps would be able to help you better if i know any previous symptoms or was there next to your computer. Good luck!

What is a pheripheral input device?

A peripheralis a device connected to a host computer, but not part of it, and is more or less dependent on the host. It expands the host's capabilities, but does not form part of the core

What equipment is needed to hook up DSL to a computer with Windows XP?

A modem, which you normally get from the DSL provider, is really the only thing you need (apart from a computer).

But it is recommended to get a home router/firewall as well, it gives basic protection against computer attacks from the internet and lets you hook up a second computer to the same DSL connection.

How do you config a router?

Router Configurations

A network engineer can enter commands via the CLI environment in several ways. The most common are:

* Console

* Telnet or SSH

* AUX port

While the engineer is in Privileged EXEC mode, it will allow him/her to make changes to the router such as configuring the FastEthernet interface. After the router is configured, the engineer should show the running configuration and copy the running configuration to the startup configuration periodically to save changes.

The importance of having a specific hostname would divert confusion during network configuration and maintenance. When accessing a device using Telnet or SSH, its important to make sure that a name is attached. If all devices remained with the same default name, you couldn't identify that the proper device is connected. By choosing and documenting names wisely, it is easier to remember, discuss and identify network devices. It is good practice to create the naming scheme at the same time as the addressing scheme.

Passwords are the number one defense against unauthorized access to network devices. Every device should have locally configured passwords to limit access. The IOS uses hierarchical modes to help with device security to allow different access privileges.

What is electronics and advantages and disadvantages of electronics?

The use of electronics makes our lives easier. Without electronics like having a cell phone would bE HARD to not have as an adult. Other things like ipods and portable DVD players are nice but they aren't really needed. There are lots of electronics that we use in daily life and there are some we don't. it depends on the electronics when it comes to deciding if u need it or not.

Which one is built into a computer output or input?

most of the time, neither.... output hardware is something that takes data out of the computer and makes it able to be used by the computer user, such as monitors, printers, speakers.. etc.... Input devices allow computer users to put data into the computer, such as: keyboard, mouse etc.

What parts would you need to build your own computer?

you'd need the chasis, RAM (random access memory),ROM (read only memory),hard drive ,disk drive mother board,correct plugs for speakers,head phones, keyboard,mouse,etc, data cables for the drives, power cables for the drives,usb ports,ethernet ports,screen plug(don't know what that is called), power supply, and different plugs and cables for power and to connect different parts together.

What unit is a processer speed measured in?

The performance or speed of a processor depends on e.g. the clock rate and the Instructions Per Clock (IPC), which together are the factors for the Instructions per second (IPS) that the CPU can perform.

So speed of processor can be measured by IPS alone.

What does the RS-232 standard apply to?

RS232 is a communications protocol for electronic devices to exchange information

What is the maximum length of a PS2 cable?

There are cables up to 50 feet for sale, but if you want to modify one yourself, you can make it as long as you want, if you have enough wire (try using telephone wire). You can also get wireless controllers, and wireless AV connections.

What is the speed and operation of the PCIe Bus?

The PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) bus operates at high speeds, with each lane capable of transferring data at rates of up to 1 GB/s in each direction for PCIe 3.0, and significantly higher speeds for newer versions, such as PCIe 4.0 (up to 2 GB/s) and PCIe 5.0 (up to 4 GB/s). The operation of PCIe is based on a point-to-point architecture, allowing multiple devices to communicate simultaneously without interference, which enhances overall performance and efficiency. Additionally, PCIe uses a packet-based protocol, enabling flexible and efficient data transfer between the CPU, memory, and various peripherals like GPUs and SSDs.

Where are registers located and what are the different types?

1-5 88

1.Force-----push or pull

Carpet----surface with large friction

Friction-----force that exists when one surface rubs on another.

Newton-----units of force

Gravity----a pull from a large body

Spring balance---measures force

Lubricants----reduce friction

Heat---produced when their is friction.

2.it lost ¾ of its weight.

3.tyre on a road.

4.place rubber mats under the wheels.

Why?

Because it will increase friction and be able to get you out.

5.b 600n

Where can one purchase a serial to USB converter?

Someone that is looking to purchase a USB to parallel converter can do so at stores like Walmart, Best Buys as well as Office Max. If one would like to purchase from online they can do so at Amazon as well as eBay.

Why is it important to insert a processor straight down into a socket rather than sliding the processor in from the side or allowing it to tilt into the socket?

Because the pins on the bottom of the processor can be easily bent (assuming that this is a processor for a PGA (Pin Grid Array) or SPGA (Staggerd PGA) socket. It is worth noting though that a processor for a LGA (Land Grid Array) socket is not as susceptible to this as the there are lands or pads on the bottom of the processor instead of pins; the pins are in the socket. The book that asks this question assumes PGA.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Very true BUT you can bend the lands in an LGA socket, rendering the socket hence the motherboard useless!
