Fast Notes for A+ Fast Notes for A+ 1. SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) have 72 pins on each side of the stick. SIMMs are 32 bits wide, and you need two 72-pin SIMM sticks (Minimum) on a Pentium class computer. This is because, the bus width is 64 bits in a Pentium class computer. Note that each side of each pin on a SIMM stick is same, where as each side of each pin on a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) has separate signal flowing. A SIMM has a single row of 72 contact fingers, each making contact on both sides. An older version of SIMM card contain 30pins, and were used in 386 and 486 machines. A DIMM (Dual-Inline Memory Module) has two rows of connecting fingers, one row on each side, and the total number of contacts are 168. 2. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the component at as little as 110 volts. CMOS chips are the most susceptible to ESD. Static electricity builds up more in cold and dry places. Use humidifiers to keep room humidity at about 50% to help prevent static build up. 3. Acronyms :- a. ISA is an acronym for Industry Standard Architecture. b. EISA is a acronym for Extended Industry Standard Architecture. c. PCI is an acronym for Peripheral Component Interconnect. d. MCA stands for Micro Channel Architecture. 4. Some of the frequently encountered problems using laser printers and probable causes are as given below: a. Speckled pages: The causes for this may be a. The failure to clean the drum after printing properly, or b. The drum might have developed scratches. b. Blank pages: The causes for white pages may be, A. The toner would have dried out, replace the toner. B. The transfer corona, that is responsible for transferring the toner to the drum might have failed. C. The High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) failure will also result in white pages. c. Ghosted Images: Ghosting occurs when previously printed pages are printed again, though much lighter than the present image. The most likely cause is that the erasure lamp might not be working properly, thus leaving some charges representing the earlier image left on the photosensitive drum before new image is written. Also check the cleaning blade, which is responsible for scaping the residual toner. d. Smudged images: If the fusing fails, the toner will not bond with the paper. Check the halogen lamp responsible for heating. 5. To determine the COM port assignments, or which COM ports are being used for what, you can use any of the following commands: a. MODE command b. DEBUG command c. MSD d. Corresponding device applet in the control panel 6. Given below are important bus types and their characteristics:- Bus Data bus Speed Bandwidth Comments Type width 8bit ISA 8 bit 8.3 MHz 7.9 mbps Not used in modern computers ISA 16 bit 8.3 MHz 15.9 mbps In use, use jumpers to configure EISA 32 bit 8.3 MHz 31.8 mbps Compatible with ISA s/w or jumpers configurable VISA 32 bit 33 MHz 127.2 mbps Backward compatible with ISA cards PCI 32 bit 33 MHz 127.2 mbps Supports plug and play 64bitPCI 64 bit 66 MHz 508.6 mbps Supports plug and play PCMCIA 32 bit 33 - - - - - - Used in laptops, also know as PC card AGP 32 bit Speed of - - - - - - Used in video cards. processor 7. All Pentium / 586 class processors use socket 7 type of socket for the processor. Pentium Pro, Pentium II and Pentium III processors use a slot rather than a socket. 8. A good fuse will show close to zero ohms ( typically less than 1 ohm). A bad fuse, will have open contact, and will show open. 9. Key boards come with two types of connectors. They are DIN-5 & Mini DIN-6. DIN-5 are used with AT style keyboards. DIN-5 has 5 pins. Mini DIN-6, also known as PS/2 connector has a round port with 6 pins, one of which being a square pin used for alignment. 10.Given below are some commonly used color depths and the number of bits required to store the color information per pixel: a. 1 bit (mono) : 2 colors. b. 2 bits: 4 colors c. 4 bits: 16 colors d. 8 bits: 256 colors e. 16 bits: 64K colors f. 24 bits: 16.7M colors 11. The centronics cable, used for parallel printing will have a male DB-25 connector at one end and a female 36 pin connector at the other end. 12. The interface cables used widely have the following pin count: a. floppy-34 pin b. IDE-40 pin c. SCSI-50 pin d. SCSI Ultra wide-68 pin 13.144-pin small outline DIMM (so DIMM) is commonly used in notebook computers. 144-pin micro-DIMM is still smaller than the so-DIMM and used in sub-notebook computers. 72-pin SODIMM was used in older laptops. 14.Pentium class of processors make use of parallel processing, and they have 64 bit data bus. 15.IsoPropyl Alcohol (IPA) is recommended for cleaning PCAs such as motherboards. Mild detergent can be used for cleaning the outside cabinet or the keyboard. 16.PDL stands for Page Description Language. PDL treats everything on the page as graphics. PostScript is an example of PDL. 17.Some of the frequently encountered error codes and their corresponding error messages are given below: a. Error Code----Error Message b. 161 - CMOS battery failure: Replace the CMOS battery c. 164 - Memory size error : If the error occurs after memory upgrade, run SETUP program. d. 201 - Memory test failed : RAM chips failed, one or more may need to be replace. e. 301 - Keyboard error: You may have to check the key board f. error code 423: Parallel port test has failed. 18.The following are some of the important DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) standards: a. DVD –R/W: DVD-R/W was the first DVD recording format released that was compatible with standalone DVD Players.DVD-R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs (called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB*DVDs(called DVD-10). b. DVD +R/W: DVD+R/W has some "better" features than DVD-R/W such as loss-less linking and both CAV and CLV writing. DVD+R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10). c. DVD-RAM : DVD-RAM is the DVD equivalent of CD-RW. It is not compatible with most DVD- ROM drives and DVD-Video players. Type-I DVD-RAM permanently installs the disks inside the caddies. Type-2 disks are removable. 19.There are 3 types of PCMCIA cards: a. Type I cards have thickness of 3.3mm b. Type II cards have thickness of 5.0mm c. Type III cards have thickness of 10.5mm d. All PC cards have dimensions of 85.6mm by 54 mm. 20.DVD (stands for Digital Versatile Disk) comes in single layer (SL) or dual layer (DL).

Entre otros aspectos, se diferencia de los anteriores 370 (para Pentium III) y del Socket 423 y 478 (para los primeros Pentium 4) en que carece de pines. Las velocidades de bus disponibles para esta arquitectura van desde 533Mhz hasta 1600MHz. Este tipo de zócalo es el "estándar" para casi todos los procesadores de consumo de Intel para equipos sobremesa y algunos portátiles. Desde los "Celeron D" hasta los "Core 2 Duo", pasando por los "Pentium D", su principal atractivo es que los procesadores para LGA 775 carecen de pines; es decir que la placa base es la que contiene los contactos para comunicarse con el procesador.

  • Evolution of the Pentium
    Chapter 7B – The Evolution of the Intel Pentium This chapter attempts to trace the evolution of the modern Intel Pentium from the earliest CPU chip, the Intel 4004. The real evolution begins with the Intel 8080, which is an 8–bit design having features that permeate the entire line. Our discussion focuses on three organizations. IA–16 The 16–bit architecture found in the Intel 8086 and Intel 80286. IA–32 The 32–bit architecture found in the Intel 80386, Intel 80486, and most variants of the Pentium design. IA–64 The 64–bit architecture found in some high–end later model Pentiums. The IA–32 has evolved from an early 4–bit design (the Intel 4004) that was first announced in November 1971. At that time, memory came in chips no larger than 64 kilobits (8 KB) and cost about $1,600 per megabyte. Before moving on with the timeline, it is worth recalling the early history of Intel. Here, we quote extensively from Tanenbaum [R002]. “In 1968, Robert Noyce, inventor of the silicon integrated circuit, Gordon Moore, of Moore’s law fame, and Arthur Rock, a San Francisco venture capitalist, formed the Intel Corporation to make memory chips. In the first year of operation, Intel sold only $3,000 worth of chips, but business has picked up since then.” “In September 1969, a Japanese company, Busicom, approached Intel with a request for it to manufacture twelve custom chips for a proposed electronic calculator. The Intel engineer assigned to this project, Ted Hoff, looked at the plan and realized that he could put a 4–bit general–purpose CPU on a single chip that would do the same thing and be simpler and cheaper as well.
