CTI 130 Module 29 series chipsets - ANS-- designed to support AMD processors that can have up to eight cores
A bus that does not run in sync with the system clock is known as which of the following? -
ANS-expansion bus
A bus that does not run in sync with the system clock is known as which of the following? -
ANS-expansion bus
A series chipsets - ANS-- designed to support the AMD APU which is a combination of a CPU
and a graphics processing unit (GPU)
- support AMD CrossFire technology, which uses dual video cards in the same system
A socket that has one or two levers used to lift the processor up and out of the socket is known
as which of the following? - ANS-ZIF socket
All processor sockets are engineered to protect the processor pins from damage. Sockets that
use one or two levers to secure the processor and also to release it are known by this acronym.
- ANS-ZIF
APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) - ANS-An AMD technology that is a combination of a CPU
and a graphics processor unit (GPU) in the same processor housing.
BGA (Ball Grid Array) - ANS-A connection via a processor that is soldered to the motherboard,
and the two are always purchased as a unit.
BIOS - ANS-used on older motherboards
Broadwell - ANS-- faster than the Haswell chipsets
- use the LGA1150 socket
bus - ANS-The paths, or lines, on the motherboard on which data, instructions, and electrical
power move from component to component.
chipset - ANS-A group of chips on the motherboard that controls the timing and flow of data and
instructions to and from the CPU.
CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) - ANS-- RAM is a small amount of memory
stored on the motherboard that retains data
- if disconnected or fails, setup information is lost
, - The technology used to manufacture microchips. CMOS chips require less electricity, hold data
longer after the electricity is turned off, and produce less heat than earlier technologies. The
configuration or setup chip is a CMOS chip.
CMOS battery - ANS-The lithium coin-cell battery on the motherboard used to power the CMOS
chip that holds BIOS setup data so that the data is retained when the computer is unplugged.
CMOS RAM - ANS-Memory contained on the CMOS configuration chip.
CSM (Compatibility Support Module) - ANS-A feature of UEFI that allows UEFI to be backwards
compatible with legacy BIOS devices and drivers.
data bus - ANS-Lines of the bus, a system of pathway used for communication on the
motherboard, used for data.
data path size - ANS-The width of a data bus
device drivers - ANS-are small programs that allow software to interact with certain hardware
device drivers - ANS-Small program stored on the hard drive and installed in Windows that tell
Windows how to communicate with a specific hardware device such as a printer, network, port
on the motherboard, or scanner.
EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) - ANS-The original version of UEFI that was first developed
by Intel.
- faster and better booting
- mouse-enabled interface
- secure boot
- support for hard drives larger than 2 TB
- provides a BIOS boot through its CSM
FCLGA (Flip-Chip Land Grid Array) - ANS-A type of socket used by processors that has blunt
protruding pins on the socket that connect with lands or pads on the bottom of the processor.
The chips in the processor package are flipped over so that the top of the chip makes contact
with the socket.
FCPGA (flip-chip pin grid array) - ANS-A type of socket used by processors that has holes
aligned in rows to receive pins on the bottom of the processor. The chips in the processor are
flipped over so that the top of the chip makes contact with the socket.
flashing bios - ANS-The process of upgrading or refreshing the programming stored on a
firmware chip.
