Q

This can occur when there is a build up of a static electricity charge that exists on a surface which comes into contact with another, differently charged surface. This can cause damage to computer equipment if not discharged properly.

Q

It is the intrusion of outside electromagnetic signals in a transmission media, such as copper cabling. In a network environment, this distorts the signals so that the receiving devices have difficulty interpreting them.

16
Q

Complete loss of AC power. A blown fuse, damaged transformer, or downed power line can cause this.

A

Blackout

17
Q

Reduced voltage level of AC power that lasts for a period of time. This occur when the power line voltage drops below 80 percent of the normal voltage level and when electrical circuits are overloaded.

A

Brownout

18
Q

Interference from generators and lightning that results in poor quality power, which can cause errors in a computer system.

A

Noise

19
Q

Sudden increase in voltage that lasts for a short period and exceeds 100 percent of the normal voltage on a line. This can be caused by lightning strikes, but can also occur when the electrical system comes back on after a blackout.

A

Spike

20
Q

Dramatic increase in voltage above the normal flow of electrical current that can last for a few nanoseconds.

A

Power Surge

21
Q

Helps protect against damage from surges and spikes by diverting extra electrical voltage that is on the line to the ground.

A

Surge Suppressor

22
Q

Helps protect against potential electrical power problems by supplying a consistent level of electrical power to a computer or other device. The battery is constantly recharging while this is in use. It provides a consistent quality of power when brownouts and blackouts occur.

A

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

23
Q

Helps protect against potential electrical power problems by providing a backup battery to supply power when the incoming voltage drops below the normal level. The battery is on standby during normal operation. When the voltage decreases, the battery provides DC power to a power inverter, which converts it to AC power for the computer. This device is not as reliable as a UPS because of the time it takes to switch over to the battery. If the switching device fails, the battery cannot supply power to the computer.

A

Standby Power Supply (SPS)

24
Q

A fact sheet that summarizes information about material identification, chemical reactivity and incompatibility information.

A

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

25
Q

Contains rare earth metals that can be harmful to the environment. These can contain lead, cadmium, lithium, and other heavy metals.

A

Batteries

26
Q

Four categories of Hardware Tools:

A

ESD Tools
Hand Tools
Cleaning Tools
Diagnostic tools

27
Q

Two ESD tools:

A

Antistatic Wrist Strap
Antistatic Mat

28
Q

This ESD tool protects computer equipment when grounded to a computer chassis.

A

Antistatic Wrist Strap

29
Q

This ESD tool protects computer equipment by preventing static electricity from accumulating on the hardware or on the technician.

A

Antistatic Mat

30
Q

A device that can take many types of measurements.

A

Digital Multimeter

31
Q

This tests the basic functionality of computer ports.

A

Loopback Adapter

32
Q

Initializes disks, creates partitions, and formats partitions.

A

Disk Management

33
Q

Prepares a hard drive to store information.

A

Format

34
Q

Checks the integrity of files and folders on a hard drive by scanning the file system. These tools might also check the disk surface for physical errors

A

Scandisk or CHKDSK

35
Q

Previously known as Defrag, optimizes space on a hard drive to allow faster access to programs and data.

A

Optimize Drives

36
Q

Clears space on a hard drive by searching for files that can be safely deleted.

A

Disk Cleanup

37
Q

Scans the operating system’s critical files and replaces files that are corrupt.

A

System File Checker (SFC)

38
Q

Checks the status of essential security settings.

A

Windows Action Center

39
Q

Protects against viruses and spyware.

A

Windows Defender
