       6.1: On an ATX system, see if you can trace the wire running from the power switch on the
               front panel to a jumper on the motherboard. (Read part b, but don't use a screw driver to
               connect the two jumpers, as Meyers suggests.)

      6.2: Be sure your multimeter is set to measure AC voltage, as shown on Meyers, p. 73.
             Carefully measure the three AC voltage settings that Meyers describes on p. 72-74
             and record your readings

             Hot to neutral ______________

             Neutral to ground ___________

             Hot to ground _____________

      We don't need to repeat the measurements of the DC motherboard voltage in the Meyers lab.

            Time permitting, Alonzo may show us how to measure resistance with the Ohm setting on the multimeter

      2.1  We're beginning our study of the Motherboard chapter by identifying CPUs.

            1. Look at the chips in the picture on p.15 of the Meyers lab manual. Compare them to the chips in your computer.

                Note any differences you see: ________________________________________________________


               ________________________________________________________________________________

            3.   Identify the type of fan used by your CPU (with hinge/without hinge/screw down)


                 ______________________________________________________________________________

             

            5.  Use Internet resources to fill in the following tables

Maker	CPU Type	Package	Bus Speed (Mhz)	Cache L1         |          L2	Clock Speed Multiplier
Intel	Pentium III750
AMD	Athlon 600
AMD	Duron 800
Intel	Celeron 566
AMD	K6-2 475

3.   Draw a line to match each CPU with its corresponding socket type

CPU                                                                   Socket Type

Pentium P54C                                                      Socket 370

Pentium Pro                                                          Slot 1

Celeron (II) 600                                                   Socket A

Athlon 1200                                                          Socket 8

Pentium II                                                              Socket 7

Homework:

Review/study for A+ in Depth chapter 4 quiz ,tomorrow

Begin reading A+ in Depth Chapter 5 on Motherboards, review the material on CPUs and
chipsets from page 175-202.  Complete Meyers Labs 2.l - 2.2, if possible, using Internet
resources to look up information on CPU types, eternal data bus, address bus, and socket form factors.
