CMOS
what does CMOS stand for
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
DVI
digital visual interface
what makes a CRT monitor potentially hazardous to the environment?
harmful radiation is generated when an image is created on a CRT screen
parity means?
a single hard drive that stores data across multiple drives
blackout means?
a outage on the internet caused by an attack on a website, ISP or the internet's domain naming system (DNS)
what is the primary symptom of a bad CMOS battery?
Incorrect or slow system date and time in the BIOS
VGA
video graphics array
what makes a CRT monitor potentially hazardous to a technician working on it?
the high voltage
mirroring means?
consists of at least 2 disks drives that duplicate the storage of data
what does UPS stand for?
uninterruptible power suply
what information is stored on the CMOS chip?
date and time, boot order, hardware settings, and password information
HDMI
high-definition multimedia interface
CRT stands for?
cathode-ray tube
spreads the data across all the disk drives in a raid group without parity data
power surge means?
a oversupply of voltage
why is CMOS needed
because they use less power than other types of chips
USB
universal serial bus
is it better for gaming?
yes
double parity means?
one of several raid schemes that work by replacing data on multiple disks and enabling I/O operations to overlap in a balanced way, improving performance
brownout means?
a intentioonal or unintentional drop in voltage in an electric power supply system
what will replace CMOS?
superconducting computing and RSFQ
CPU
central processing unit
can you use a CRT as a computer monitor?
no, only computers with a VGA port can use older CRT monitors
what does raid stand for
redundant array of independent disks
how does a UPS protect a PC from power issues?
regulate incoming voltage by stabilizing it within safe operating limits
