37. After you have installed a processor what should you do if you turn on the system
and power comes on but you don't see any output on the screen and the system
does not seem to be going through its normal boot procedure?

, If the power comes on (you hear the fan spinning and see lights), but the
system fails to work, most likely the processor is not seated solidly in the
socket or some power cord has not yet been connected or is not solidly
connected. Turn everything off, unplug the power cord, press the power
button to drain power, open the case, and recheck your installation.
23. What is the purpose of the chipset on a motherboard?
Give this one a try later!
A chipset is a set of chips on the motherboard that works closely with the
processor to collectively control the memory, buses on the motherboard,
and some peripherals. The chipset must be compatible with the processor
it serves.
18. Describe the processor cooler and its components.
Give this one a try later!
The cooler sits on top of the processor and consists of a fan and a heat
sink. A heat sink uses fins that draw heat away from the processor. The fan
can then blow the heat away.
3. List three components found on a motherboard.

48. What are three of the factors you should consider when purchasing a hard drive
that affect performance use, and price?
Give this one a try later!
The capacity of the drive.
The spindle speed.
The interface standard.
The cache or buffer size.
24. What is the design of the Accelerated Hub Architecture?
Give this one a try later!
This hub has a fast and slow end, and each end is a separate chip on the
motherboard. The fast end of the hub, called the North Bridge, contains
the graphics and memory controller, and connects directly to the
processor by way of a 64-bit bus, called the Front Side Bus (FSB), system
bus, or host bus. The slower end of the hub, called the South Bridge,
contains the I/O controller hub (ICH). All I/O (input/output) devices, except
video, connect to the hub by using the slower South Bridge.
