How do you wire seven pin connector to trailer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 4 pin connector should have 4 colored wires. They are: Yellow - Left Rear Stop and Turn Signal Green - Right Rear Stop and Turn Signal White - Chassis Ground Brown - Tail / License and Running Lights If you are matching a vehicle to a trailer, be sure to verify this with a test lamp or meter. Some folks make up their own rules, and the connector could be wired differently from the standard!

What is the difference between Ports and Slots?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A port is an I/O connector/device that allows you to interface with something outside of the computer. The most common ports are COM (Communication), Printer, USB (Universal Serial Bus), Video, Mouse, Keyboard, and Ethernet ports. A slot is where you plug in a controller. Often, the controller provides one or more ports that you can use.

How do you turn on an old AT power supply without motherboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

AT power supplies typically use a mechanical button or switch to turn on. Depending on the age of the device, however, it may not be safe to activate it without a load, however. If no motherboard is attached, other devices that draw lots of power, like hard drives, should be attached.

What is different about the XT AT 286 and 386 motherboards from the 486?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are the same size, but the processors are slower. ( The XT was a 16-bit 8088 computer, the AT was a 286 processor, a 386 was advanced enough to have virtual memory. The 486, even more powerfull had a built in math co-processor for the most part ).

How much maximum hard disk capacity supported in Intel 945 types of motherboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All motherboards with the 915 chipset will have BIOSes that support LBA48 addressing. LBA48 supports a theoretical maximum of 144 petabytes (about 147,500 terabytes or 160,000,000 gigabytes). In other words, any drive you could conceivably purchase within the next 30 years (assuming harddrive space increases at its current rate) will work.

and series go on

80286

80386

80486

Pentium 1

Pentium 2

Pentium 3

Pentium 4

Dual core

Core 2 duo

Core 2 Quad

Upto CoreI7

So basically in a long time period Pentium 4 is an improvement on 8085

and basically today micro code of all these processor is of 8085

Which socket type is soldered to the motherboard with the CPU?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the type of processor being installed.Most older processors and processors from AMD employ a socket installation mechanism called Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) in which an arm operates an internal clamping mechanism on the pins. When the arm is lifted, the pin clamps are loosened, allowing the processor to be inserted and removed easily. Once a processor is installed, the arm is lowered and secured, causing the pin clamps to secure the pins (and thus the processor) in place.

Newer processors from Intel (Prescott P4s, the Core 2 line, and later) don't have pins--the pins are actually in the socket; thus why they're called Land Grid Array setups. In these cases, the contact force is provided by a special cover (called a load plate) built into the socket. Once the processor is properly placed, the load plate flips on top of the processor and then secured by an arm.

In both scenarios, further securing force is provided by the cooling system (usually a heatsink and fan) that is placed on top of the processor. Socket designs specify how the cooling systems are to be secured to the motherboard. Their installation further secures the processor into the socket.

What is the function of a data cable inside a computer case?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Data cables (called ata cables or serial or SCSI) simply transfer data from one device to the motherboard inside or even to another device hooked up to the same cable. An example would be a cdrom drive could transfer data for listening to music via the data cable and the motherboard would process it and produce sound via speakers.

How many sata ports can a mother board support?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on chipset. For instance Intel X58 can support up 4 ports natively + 2 for marvell controller. Server motherboards have more SATA ports available. Newer generation motherboards can support 6 and more SATA port natively.

What is the purpose of a battery on the motherboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Every motherboard includes a battery, as well as several other components. The battery is there because it powers the computer. Most batteries have between 2 and 4 hours of life before they have to be plugged in.

How many E IDE connectors are located on new motherboards?

User Avatar

Asked by FishDoom

Most still have 1. Some will still have 2, but they are being phased out. I have not yet seen a PATA-less motherboard, but they are definatley on the way, if not already here. That said, 4, 6 and 8 SATA ports are common, and support is good.

If you have legacy devices you need to connect, SATA->PATA devices are made, and fairly cheaply, too.

How does a video card work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the specific model. Dell contracts several different manufacturers for their laptops and each has different habits of removable or not.

- AFAIK most of the XPS series have graphics cards soldered to the motherboard, but there are a few different motherboard revisions, so you can upgrade the motherboard E. G. m1530 has geforce 8400m or 8600m versions. m1730 has removable card and can be upgraded to 9800m GT or GTX SLI but only a Dell m1730 card. M1710 is actually the same as a Dell m90 or something and uses a few removable cards.

the studio XPS 1640 has motherboards with ATI 3670, 4670 and 5730.

-Dell Alienware m15x, m17x and m18x use MXM 3.0 B graphics just like most Clevo/Sager and MSI gaming systems. You can find and change out high end cards like AMD 6990m and Nvidia 580m in all of these.

- Dell Precision m6500 and m6600 also use MXM 3.0 B cards, come with professional Quadro and Firepro cards but can be changed for others. The m4600 uses smaller type MXM 3.0 A.

Anything released earlier than these laptops cannot use different graphics cards or can only use cards made for the specific model.

Can you use Intel Pentium II and Intel Pentium III processors on the same motherboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This would all depend on your actual motherboard. Some boards do take a Pentium 3 chip. If you know the model of your board, then check the manufacturers website, for details of the maximum mhz allowed for it.

If you don't know the model number, then go to Google, and download a program called belarc advisor. Once installed, this will give you the in's and out#s of your PC. All hardware, and software installed.

If you find the board does take a Pentium 3 CPU, then you will need to purchase a 'slotty'. Basically this is a piece of hardware, that turns the black CPU, into a normal CPU. It slots inside the same place as the original CPU. With the added advantage of a heatsink and fan, which can be plugged onto the board.

Hope this helps

be safe

What is DDR RAM?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, and it is the RAM that allows you to operate more than one program at a time on your computer. The more RAM you have, the faster your computer will be able to run programs. SD RAM was used on computers built some years ago, but manufacturers have moved on to using DDR RAM (double data rate ram), which operates faster. RD RAM is used on a limited number of computers.
