NAME: ____________________________________ SCORE:__________________________
I. Multiple Choice. Write the correct letter on your answer sheets.

1. Which type of expansion slot is used solely for a video card?

a. PCI c. ISA
b. AGP d. EISA
2. A group of chips on the motherboard that controls the timing and flow of data and
instructions to and from the CPU is called a _________.
a. Motherboard c. CPU
b. Chipset d. ROM
3. ______________ is a self-diagnostic program used to perform a simple test of the CPU, RAM,
and various I/O devices.
a. POST c. RAM
b. Hub d. Ground Bracelet
4. We'll start by laying out the largest piece of our computer to be assembled. It is also the
one that has the fewest electronic components. Which one is it?
a. The Motherboard c. The hard drive
b. The Case d. The LAN Card
5. If the processor is the brain of the PC, the component installed next is its spine - both for
its function of mechanically connecting various pieces and for its capability to do some
low-level, reflex-like processing.
a. The Motherboard c. The hard drive
b. The Case d. The LAN Card
6. We now have a workable computer able to play games, access the internet and do work
with. However, before we close the case and fire it up, let's install an expansion card to
customize it. Which of the following would NOT be installed as an expansion card inside
the computer?
a. An ISDN connection card c. A printer
b. A firewire (IEEE1394) interface d. A wireless LAN adapter
7. On motherboards that follow PC97 specification, on what plugs do the PS/2 mouse and
keyboard should be installed?
a. Serial port and keyboard connector, respectively.
b. Purple and green connectors, respectively.
c. Green and purple connectors, respectively.
d. Blue and green connectors, respectively
8. The cardboard washers that come with the case:
a. Must be always used on all screws that fasten the motherboard to the metallic
chassis of the case.
b. Should never be used.
c. Should be used to isolate non-metalized holes, using one washer on each side of the
motherboard.
d. Should be used to isolate metalized holes, using one washer on each side of the
motherboard.
9. What happens if we install the optical drive flat-cable inverted while assembling the PC?
a. The drive LED will be always turned and the drive won’t work.
b. The drive burns, and you can even see smoke some times.
c. The PC doesn't turn on.
d. The motherboard plays a series of beeps (two long and four short beeps).
10.How is the optical drive be installed?
a. As slave on the primary IDE port.
b. As master on the primary IDE port.
c. As master on the secondary IDE port.
d. As slave on the secondary IDE port.
11.Some technicians put between the solder side of the motherboard and the metallic chassis
of the case the antistatic foam (normally pink) that comes together with the motherboard.
About this procedure we can say:
a. This is an excellent procedure, as it prevents the motherboard from touching the
metallic part of the case, avoiding a short-circuit and thus protects the motherboard
from burning.
b. It would be better to use white foam, which has a higher static coefficient than the
pink one.
c. This procedure is only recommended for motherboards with on-board video, as they
usually stay a little bit loose inside the case and this foam helps to stabilize them
inside the case.
d. This is a bad procedure, as it prevents the correct airflow inside the case and also
prevents the motherboard heat dissipation, leading to computer crashes due to
overheating.
12.You finished assembling your PC and are now installing the operating system. Suddenly
you hear a sound similar to a siren coming from the PC speaker and five seconds later
the PC shuts down and doesn’t turn on anymore. What is happening?
a. The CPU has just burned.
b. The memory has just burned.
c. The motherboard has just burned.
d. The CPU overheated. It is probably an error on setup configuration
13.You have just finished assembling a computer based on Sempron 3000+ CPU. When you
turned on your new PC, it is telling you that your CPU is running at 1.8 GHz and not at
3 GHz. What should be done in order to correct this problem?
a. Nothing, because Sempron 3000+ really runs at 1.8 GHz.
b. Replace your CPU with your supplier, as it is probably a counterfeit part.
c. Enter the motherboard set-up and change the CPU base clock from 133 MHz to 200 MHz.
d. Enter the motherboard setup and change the clock multiplier (clock ratio) from x9 to x15.
14.You want to install an auxiliary 80-mm fan in your case in order to better dissipate the
generated heat. How this fan should be installed on a 3-bay case?
a. On the front side of the case, on the area below the hard disk drive bays, using
ventilation mode (blowing air from outside to inside the case).
b. On the front side of the case, on the area below the hard disk drive bays, using
exhaust mode (blowing air from inside to outside the case).
c. On the rear side of the case, on the area below the power supply, using ventilation
mode (blowing air from outside to inside the case)
d. On the rear side of the case, on the area below the power supply, using exhaust mode
(blowing air from inside to outside the case).
15.What happens if you install a DDR memory module on a DDR2 socket?
a. The PC will work, however memory speed will be lower than if DDR2 memory were
used.
b. It is not possible to install a DDR module on a DDR2 socket.
c. You will burn your memory module.
d. The PC will be very unstable, i.e. crashing, freezing, giving the infamous blue screen
of death, resetting randomly, etc.
