| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many steps are there to laser printers? | 7 |
| Step 1 for laser printing? | Processing - receive date from computer (font, images and formatting) and puts that page image into printer memory. |
| Step 2 for laser printing? | Charging/Conditioning - Charge on drum from wire (primary corona) or a charge roller. Regulated by a screen. -600V |
| Step 3 for laser printing? | Writing/Exposing - Charged drum (-600V) exposed to laser where image is to be printed. Changes charge to -100V. |
| Step 4 for laser printing? | Developing - Toner (powder of plastic and iron) released by developer roller. Attaches to places where laser hit (-100V). |
| Step 5 for laser printing? | Transferring - Paper fed to printer, given positive charge (by corona or charge roller). Toner attracted to paper. |
| Step 6 for laser printing? | Fusing - powder sitting on paper. Lamp heat up fusing roller and toner bonded to paper. |
| Step 7 for laser printing? | Cleaning - remaining toner + charge wiped away by cleaning blade. |
| What is toner? | Plastic + Iron |
| What is impact printer used for? | Carbon copies |
| Advantages of dot matrix? | Can make carbon copies. |
| Disadvantage of dot matrix? | Expensive, loud, slow, mechanical, limited colour. |
| Advantages of ink jet? | Cheap, quiet, fast, colour |
| Disadvantages of ink jet? | Ink expensive, no carbon copy, can dry |
| How many Pins used in a dot matrix? | 9, 18, 24 |
| What are the 2 modes that dot matrix can print in? | Font + Dot Address |
| What are the 2 paper handling methods of dot matrix? | Friction + Tractor |
| What are the 2 methods of projecting ink? | Drop on demand + Continuous stream |
| What are the 3 colours of of ink for ink jet? | Cyan, Magenta, Yellow...and Black |
| Constant stream uses what kind of crystal? | Piezo Crystals |
| What is DSP? | Digital Signal/Sound Processor |
| What is DAC and ADC? | Digital to Analog Converter Analog to Digital Converter |
| What is a breakout box? | Controller that can have remote, dials, jacks, etc. |
| What are the various sound jack colours? | Green = Front/Headphone Black = Rear Pink = Mic Blue = Line Out Orange = Sub-woofer / Center |
| Difference between Lossy and Lossless sound types? | Compression. Lossy doesn't record information that (most) humans are unable to hear. Lossless is a records everything. |
| PINS: Floppy? | 34 |
| PINS: P1 / Main ATX Power? | 24 (older has 20) |
| PINS: PCI-e? | 8 (older has 6) +12V, some video cards can require 4x |
| PINS: Narrow Internal SCSI | 50 |
| PINS: Wide Internal SCSI | 68 |
| PINS: DDR3 / DDR2 | 240 |
| PINS: DDR | 184 |
| PINS: Front Panel (Server) | 24 |
| PINS: EPS? | 8 |
| PINS: P4? | 4 - Processor Power +12V |
| PINS: Molex? | 4 - +12V, +5V |
| PINS: Berg? | 4 - Floppy Power +12V, +5V |
| PINS: SATA? | 15 - +12V, +5V, +3.3V |
| PINS: AUX? | 6 - Not found recently, reduces load on P1 +5V, +3.3V |
| PINS: SCSI? | 25 |
| Differences between server and desktop? | Size, Processor type and amount (Xeon, Opteron), Video/Sound cards. |
| How wide typical server rack? | 19 inch |
| What does it mean to say server is running headless? | No monitor, have to remote into it. |
| How do you measure server in units? | U's, 1 U = 1.75 inch |
| Whats found in a server that's not found in a desktop? | PCIx 64bit |
| What is a blade server? | Vertical server units, can be hot swapped. |
| Which wireless standard does not use the 2.4GHz frequency? | A |
| What is WPAN? | Wireless Personal Area Network, normally using Bluetooth. |
| WPA vs WPA2? | WPA - software encryption, not as secure WPA2 - hardware encryption, more secure, more resources from the router. |
| Why isn't wireless standard G backwards compatible with A? | Different frequencies. A= 5, G= 2.4 |
| Shortest range Bluetooth? | Class 3 - 1m Class 2 - 10m Class 1 - 100m |
| What frequency does Bluetooth use? | 2.4 GHz |
| What methods are there to secure wireless network? | MAC filtering, don't broadcast SSID, WPA atleast, WPA2 even better. |
| What does SCSI symbol look like? | Cross beween upper case C and G |
| What is SCSI ID? | Should be unique, all devices require one, highest priority = 7 |
| Which SCSI ID should be given to host adapter card? | Highest (7) |
| Difference between wide and narrow SCSI? | Narrow = 50 pins, 8 devices Wide= 68 pins, 16 devices Wide is physically less wide. |
| What is SAS? | Serial Attached SCSI |
| Alternative to SAS? | Parallel SCSI |
| SAS vs Parellel? | Serial = faster, no termination, SCSI auto ID |
| How do you terminate SCSI? | Terminate on both ends of bus. All internal/external? Host Adapter to final device. Some internal/external? Final device internal to final device external. |
| What company makes vast majority of SCSI stuff? | Adaptec |
| What is SCAM? | SCSI Configure Auto Matically(Magically) |
| How many SCSI adapters on a chain? | Narrow - 8 Wide - 16 |
| How do SCSI device physical location affect the ID? | It doesn't, LOL! |
| Official standard for Firewire? | 1394 |
| Number of devices Firewire and USB can handle? | Firewire = 63 USB = 127 |
| General speed of floppy drives? | 300 rpm |
| General disk size of floppy disk? | 1.44MB, Double sided High-density |
| How does the twist in the floppy cable work? | Before the twist = Secondary (B:\) After the twist = Primary (A:\) |
| What does it mean if the Floppy drive light is staying on? | It has been plugged in backwards. |
| What method is used to record on floppy? | It is called Tunnel Erasure Single band of information between 2 erased bands. |
| What is odd of floppy recording compared to hard disk? | Floppy has constant head crash, always touching. Means has to be cleaned and teflon coating to help it. |
