For the CompTIA test

QuestionAnswer
relative humidity 35-70%, and temperature between 72-77
Alkaline batteries Recycle alkaline batteries if possible,
Button batteries contain mercuric oxide, lithium, silver oxide, or zinc-air. Return them to the manufacturer, recycle them, or contact local authorities for disposal procedures.
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries Recycle NiMH batteries. Lithium batteries are considered a non-hazardous waste.
CRT monitor Contact local authorities for recycling CRTs. They contain many toxic and caustic substances that are illegal to incinerate. Discharge CRTs before disposal, as they can contain high voltages.
Surge Over-voltage that lasts seconds
Spike Over-voltage that lasts milliseconds
Sag Under-voltage that lasts milliseconds
Brownout Under-voltage that lasts seconds (lights may dim)
Blackout Complete power failure
Surge suppressor A surge suppressor conditions power so that over-voltages don't reach devices.
Surge protector A surge protector protects against over-voltages by switching a device off before an over-voltage can damage it.
Line conditioner A line conditioner modifies the power signal to remove noise and create a smooth alternating current (AC) signal.
Standby power supply (SPS) A standby power supply is an offline device that switches over to provide power when an under-voltage occurs. If the switchover is not fast enough, the computer loses power.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) An uninterruptible power supply is an online device that is constantly providing battery power to the computer and being recharged by the wall outlet.
Purpose of change This section includes: Why do you want to make this change? Why is the change needed? Will it improve a current process, save money, or add additional functionality? Does the change align with the organization’s current mission and strategy?
Scope of change What exactly do you want to change? What are the desired outcomes or deliverables? Will you need to request funding to cover new hardware or software? What about man-hours?
Risk analysis What is likely to go wrong if we implement these changes? Are the risks worth it?
Backout plan specifies how you will return affected systems to their original states if your implementation fails.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is interference on the radio channel used by wireless networking devices.
susceptible to RFI. Wireless networks that use the 2.4 GHz frequency range (801.11b and 802.11g) are
Crimper is used to secure connectors to the ends of network cables.
WiFi analyzer Signal strength Network names Network security settings Network coverage This information is valuable for wireless network documentation, expansion, or troubleshooting.
Toner probe Audio-frequency tone generator (sends a signal into the wire that is being tested). Inductive amplifier probe (provides an audible tone if any signal is detected on the wire being tested).
Network tap A device used to collect data on traffic traveling across a network. The tap is usually installed right into your network cabling.
Punch down tool is used to secure cable wiring to a punch-down block or a patch panel.
3-pronged parts retriever is used to grasp and retrieve small parts that have fallen into difficult-to-reach areas.
Multimeter A device that tests various electrical properties. For example, AC and DC voltage Current (amps) Resistance (ohms) Capacitance Frequency
Power supply tester used to test output from a PC power supply. The power supply tester has multiple connectors to test the output for each connector type.
Cable tester verifies that a network can carry a signal from one end to the other and that all wires within the connector are in the correct positions.
Loopback plug is used to test network communications by redirecting a signal from the transmit port on a device to the receive port on the same device.
Combination ratchet/screwdriver Bit ends can be replaced with Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers, hex sockets, and torx (star-shaped) bits. The ratcheting handle allows you to drive the screw without repositioning the driver.
SOP standard operating procedure
RG-59 CCTV video systems; short cable lengths (less than 3 meters) are sometimes used for cable TV
RG-6 Cable TV, satellite TV, and broadband cable internet
