ASSIGNMENT 3:

REVIEWING THE BASICS

ANSWERS:

1.) Actually, the Hi-speed and Super-Speed USB is the same because the 2.0 version of USB
port is was the latest and we called it Hi-speed or Super-Speed.

2.) The output of this port is sound, its either voices or music and other types of sounds.

3.) Some types of video ports are:

 HDMI port
 Display port
 VGA port
 DVI port
 Component video port

4.) The purpose of expansion slot on the motherboard is to add some expansion cards
specially the RAM. If you want your computer become faster to install Application and
be good for gaming, just simply add a RAM.

5.) I switch the voltage of my computer power supply to 120V or lower because the
components the power supply are sensitive even a fluctuation in voltage is dangerous
because of the cold. The temperature in that country is cold so that it produces a moist.

6.) The unit use for this is SI Unit. This is for work done or energy expanded.

7.) Hot wires in home normally colored black and the hot wires in computer normally
colored black.

8.) The power supply produce a voltage or standard electrical output and the rectifier is
converts currents like AC to DC.

9.) I use the surge protector device to protect my computer for any unexpected voltage that
spikes and other complicated situation.

10.) AC power and DC power.

11.) Yes, because power supply has capacitor that help to regulate a voltage. Since our
body has electricity too we are not safe to touch some parts of the power supply even if
its disconnected.

12.) The two tools use are the Ant-Static Wrist Strap and the Anti-Static Mat. The
wrist strap as a resistor 1mega ohm that can reduce the ground that flows to our body and
the mat is made of coil and rubber that also against ESD.

13.) To know the errors of your computer and easy to discover the errors.

14.) The purposes are:

 Manages simply devices

 Changes motherboard settings
 Starts the computer

15.) Just simply follow it back to its source so that you’re not lost.

16.) I use PATA or IDE because this is the modern connections of storage devices.

17.) P1 has 24pins or 20+4pins.

18.) A high-end video card standard uses the 12V 6pin power connection. The two
locations of these connectors on the PC card itself and the one on the motherboard.

19.) To provide on additional 12V of power for evolving CPU’s.

20.) To connects a PATA or IDE device to the motherboard.
