system buses , and it is equipped with sockets that connect to the computer ’ s memory module , processors , plug-in cards , and peripheral devices . Below you will find the computer motherboard from the Computer Hardware Simulator ( CHS ) with its various components marked A through J . In the chart that follows , identify the component marked by each letter , and then describe each component ’ s function Write a technical paper describing the process , in sequence , of replacing a motherboard . The paper should be 1 to 2 pages in length . The paper does not need to be in APA style . You can design the paper to look like a technical document or technical note that would appear in a computer maintenance manual , like the one you ’ ll be developing for your Learning Team project Appendix E - Power Supply Worksheet When determining the type of power supply unit ( PSU ) needed to run your computer and all of its components , there are certain factors to keep in mind : Maximum Output – This is the number of watts the power supply is capable of delivering . The higher the wattage , the more power available . By determining the amount of wattage you need to run a computer , you could avoid spending more money than necessary on the power supply . Efficiency Rating – This determines how much energy your power supply uses to deliver the necessary wattage to run your computer . Most power supplies have an efficiency rating of 70 % or higher at full load . Cooling – The more wattage there is , the more heat produced . The power supply should have at least one 80 mm fan to cool the system . Power supplies with over 400 watts should have two 80 mm fans or one 120 mm fan to effectively cool the machine . Power Connectors – Make sure the power supply comes with enough power connectors to run your computer . Refer to Ch . 4 of your text Using the chart you created in Week Two ’ s Comparing Computers Worksheet , determine how much power you would need to run your dream computer . In the chart below , list the make and model of your computer ’ s components and research online to determine how much wattage is required to run them Now that you know the amount of wattage you need to run your dream computer , you can look for a power supply . Search the Internet for two different power supplies that would work with your computer and fill in the chart below . Then make a decision on which power supply you would purchase and explain why Refer to the computer used in the Computer Hardware Simulator ( CHS ) and find out approximately how much wattage is required to run it . Then , search online for a power supply that is compatible with the computer and fill in the chart below . Give your reasoning on why you chose the power supply . You only have $ 50.00 to purchase a power supply not including shipping , so look carefully Write a technical paper describing the process , in sequence , of replacing a power supply . The paper should be 1 to 2 pages in length . The paper does not need to be in APA style . You can design the paper to look like a technical document or technical note that would appear in a computer maintenance manual , like the one you ’ ll be developing for your Learning Team project
