    In order to boot from a SCSI hard drive, what must be the SCSI ID of the drive?

    • 0

    • 1

    • 7

    • 15

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    To boot from a SCSI hard drive, the SCSI ID of the drive must be set to 0. The SCSI ID determines the priority of the device in the SCSI chain, with 0 being the highest priority. By setting the SCSI ID to 0, the computer recognizes the SCSI hard drive as the primary boot device and initiates the boot process from it.

    A technician has been called to troubleshoot a computer. The user reports that the computer has become louder during use and programs are slow to load. which component is most likely beginning to fail?

    • CPU

    • Hard Drive

    • Memory

    • Floppy Drive

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard Drive
    Explanation
    Based on the symptoms described by the user, the most likely failing component is the Hard Drive. The increased noise and slow program loading are indicators of a failing hard drive. Hard drives can start making loud noises when the internal components are wearing out or the drive is experiencing mechanical issues. Additionally, a failing hard drive can also cause slow program loading as it struggles to read and write data effectively. Therefore, the Hard Drive is the most probable component that is beginning to fail in this scenario.

    Which file does NTLDR (NT loader) checks for the OS to run?

    • OS.ini

    • Boot.ini

    • Configurations.ini

    • MultiOS.ini

    Correct Answer
    A. Boot.ini
    Explanation
    NTLDR (NT loader) checks for the boot.ini file in order to determine which operating system to run. The boot.ini file contains the configuration information for the operating systems installed on the computer. By checking the boot.ini file, NTLDR can identify the available operating systems and allow the user to select the desired one at startup. Therefore, the correct answer is boot.ini.

It is robust and redundant, meaning it can handle heavy workloads and provide backup systems in case of failures. Additionally, an NOS provides increased security compared to DOS (Disk Operating System), as it includes features such as user authentication, access control, and encryption. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the Above" as all the given options accurately describe the characteristics of an NOS.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which is faster? eSATA rev3 or USB 3.0?

    • ESATA rev3

    • USB 3.0

    Correct Answer
    A. ESATA rev3
    Explanation
    eSATA rev3 is faster than USB 3.0. eSATA rev3 is a technology specifically designed for high-speed data transfer between a computer and external storage devices. It offers faster data transfer rates compared to USB 3.0, which is a more general-purpose interface. USB 3.0, although also capable of high-speed data transfer, has a lower maximum transfer rate compared to eSATA rev3. Therefore, eSATA rev3 is the faster option for transferring data between a computer and external storage devices.

      The ideal air temperature for a laptop is 45- 90 degrees, true or false?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The ideal air temperature for a laptop is between 45-90 degrees. This temperature range ensures that the laptop operates within its optimal temperature range, preventing overheating or freezing. Temperatures below 45 degrees can cause the laptop to slow down or freeze, while temperatures above 90 degrees can lead to overheating and potential damage to the internal components. Therefore, it is important to keep the laptop in a temperature range of 45-90 degrees for optimal performance and longevity.

    ______ memory takes up the first 640kb of memory.

    • Extended

    • Expanded

    • Convincing

    • Conventional

    Correct Answer
    A. Conventional
    Explanation
    Conventional memory refers to the first 640kb of memory in a computer system. This memory is also known as base memory or low memory. It is the memory that is directly accessible by the CPU and is used to store the operating system, device drivers, and other essential system files. The term "conventional" is used to distinguish this memory from extended or expanded memory, which are additional memory spaces that were introduced later to overcome the limitations of the 640kb barrier.

    Which process in laser printing involve scanning photosensitive drum with laser beam?

    • Cleaning

    • Writing

    • Developing

    • Conditioning

    • Fusing

    • Transferring

    Correct Answer
    A. Writing
    Explanation
    The process in laser printing that involves scanning the photosensitive drum with a laser beam is called "writing". During this process, the laser beam is used to create an electrostatic image on the photosensitive drum, which will later be transferred onto the paper. The laser beam selectively charges areas of the drum, creating a pattern that corresponds to the content being printed. This charged pattern will attract the toner particles during the developing process, resulting in the formation of the desired image on the paper.

    Which of the following actions should you not perform if you want to prevent your computer from any type of ESD while servicing the computer? (choose 2)

    • Wear an antistatic wrist strap

    • Make sure the room in which the computer is serviced is carpeted

    • Make sure that the room in which the computer is serviced is cool and dry

    • Do not wear cotton clothes

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Make sure the room in which the computer is serviced is carpeted
    A. Make sure that the room in which the computer is serviced is cool and dry
    Explanation
    Wearing an antistatic wrist strap helps to prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) by grounding the person working on the computer. Ensuring that the room is carpeted can actually increase the risk of ESD as carpets can generate static electricity. Similarly, a cool and dry room can also increase the risk of ESD. Cotton clothes are not a factor in preventing ESD, so it is not necessary to avoid wearing them. Therefore, the two actions that should not be performed to prevent ESD are making sure the room is carpeted and making sure the room is cool and dry.

USB is a common type of cable used for various purposes, including connecting external devices, while eSATA is the specific cable designed for eSATA ports. SATA and PATA cables are used for internal connections within a computer and are not compatible with eSATA ports.
