later so it should be recording now um so module one introduction to personal computer hardware these first couple modules are going to be mostly about computer hardware um that's why I went on ahead and brought in a um an actual PC because it's I work better with showing y'all stuff than making y'all watch this video inside the system itself because uh that sounds dull to me making yall watch this video so I brought the actual Hardware with me I will take us off of screen share while I go over this so this this first one's going to be really simple for a lot of people um because most of us know what a computer is roughly how it works um where it can deviate a little bit is what's on the inside um and that's roughly what we're going to go over here back to my screen so I can see what I'm doing I can get this tab to UNC so most cases like this are going to have this side panel here that some of them either have actual screws on them or they'll have these little screw in push tabs like this one here does this is a older model so it doesn't look as new as some of the stuff you'll get um I mean heck this one still has a disc drive which uh they don't put into computers anymore which makes me sad I don't know why it's just something that I'm so used to seeing in every computer and then they just don't really put them in anymore but then once you pop it off you know that's the inside some people call on the box I usually just call it a case um and it's kind of going over input devices output devices internal components that's what this module one is about so if you want to go in and watch that video Once we get you into the class you can go watch it it's going to basically be the same thing that we're going over here um the neat itself will have um little like many check your understandings like I'll show you this one here like check your understandings of case and power supplies where you're just mixing matching these it's just kind of helping you it's not graded or anything it's just during the reading itself to make it not where you're just scrolling and reading every individual piece painstakingly dull and that's roughly what these meetings are going to be as me going over these so y'all don't have to read them but if you want to go back in and reread it because it might explain it a little differently than I do because I'm not going to sit here and just read this to y'all because I don't want you all to fall asleep I don't want to put myself to sleep um so I'm not going to just sit here and read all this stuff but I'll be basically touching on it in my own way because I'm a little kooky but we all are right so we're on the components we've kind of touched on the case um some cases we'll have glass side panels on them usually you'll see the glass side panels on if they have a thing called RGB which is the pretty colors that a lot of people will see on PCS um that's where you'll normally get the glass case is they're a tempered glass so they're not going to just completely shatter but if you drop it from a decent height it's going to not go well for it um the metal cases they fare a little bit better if they could drop but they will just bend and then it's not if you had it you know precisely fit in a spot it's not going to fit there anymore because now it's all bent up um they do have hard plastic cases which are a weird in between of the two because it's not it's not as sturdy as the glasses it's it's about the same sturdiness as the glass but it will still shatter so a lot of times for your case it's just how expensive do you want your case to be because that's usually not where a lot of people spend the money on a PC because they're wanting to spend it on more of the components which is where it gets really pricey um let me kind of adjust this better here I'm not having to hold it in front of me the whole time um so all these wires going around or at least a lot of these are coming from the power supply which is up here that's obviously what you need to make it run um typically if computer's not cutting on at all that's usually your first spot to check because uh it's not cutting on it's not getting power somewhere that's typically the spot to check um they make several different specs of power suppli so it really depends on what all you're putting into it this is where like building your own custom personal PC can get a little out of hand because the more higher end stuff you put in there the more power they need so then you have to up your power supply so it varies on how you're W to do that um because you know there's the advanced technology for that which is at at Bri to at um it's an original power supply for legacy computers so it's usually most of the obsolete stuff use that um ATX is the yes what is the green plate so this green plate here yeah and if anyone has any questions at any point feel free to interrupt me I don't mind um 3K that's what you want to build yep so um this green plate here is actually was holding in um the disc drive up here and it actually lets you hold in two other drives so if I wanted to put in you know if I if I really wanted to go retro I could put in an old floppy drive right there um as if I turn it this way a little bit you can kind of see right in here that's where the optical drive is and that's the two other slots for other stuff I could put down there it's just a tab that holds it in place and I pop that Tab out I can access that screw that's holding it in there and then I pop it back into place to prevent it from getting out yep so it's basically just stabilizer literally all that's there for and it's the ATC and ATX that you mentioned yes so the at so it's this is that's power SP St um okay is advanced technology it's more of the obsolete stuff um it's you'll see it on a lot more like Legacy computers um ATX is at extended so it's basically just advanced technology extended it's an updated version of at but it's still considered to kind of be obsolete because it's it's just like a little bit above that um most of the stuff you're going to find are is going to be ATX 12 volt or um e EPS 12vt those are going to be the more High highend power supplies um most of the computers you'll interact with are going to be the ATX 12 volts um the esps or EP sorry EP I I don't know why I want to say ESP it's the EPS 12 volts are more for high-end stuff so like really great gaming stuff like that okay um and that's really where this where you have to do the specs and have to decide what you want because that EPS is going to run anything you need but you might not need it and if you don't need that highend of a power supply why spend the extra money on it that would be part of the difference between the gaming computers and the regular computers yes that'd be more of that that'd be more of that differential there um would be that yeah because it's you know it's common used for most highend stuff yeah and yeah that's that's going to dictate the fan on this St yeah so same with the fans and stuff the more fans you've got more power you need so that's where the power really comes into play um and that's why it's most that's why the other one's used for more gaming stuff because they have to run more fans or a or a coolant Supply like they use a water cooler because gaming PCs run hotter so they're having to cool it off because they're pulling more information which is why you need that higher end um uh power supply um and the power supplies will have all sorts of different kinds of connectors like let me just take this one here out and this PC does work um they're going to have different styles of connectors that's not a good picture there so they're going to be different pen sizes like um this actually be easier for me to share my screen for this part because you'll be able to see that a little bit better there's a different conect styles for from the power so all these cables are coming from the power supply and it just depends on what it's going to is going to usually differ um how many pins or whatnot it is you know the 20 pins or 24 pin connectors um if it just needs 20 you just plug this part in if it needs the 24 um it's got these two little um divots on it that slide right into here so it connects seamless as seamless as it can to it so that makes it go from a 22 a 24 um these are the SATA ones these go to um your hard drives to your Optical drives any other drive like that that's what those will go to these would differ in Notebook machine yes so like if you add in laptop they're very different on those smaller machines on that yeah most of the the big power supplies are going to be on like desktop models um servers things like that you won't see a a power supply like that on a laptop or on a laptop because they usually have the other connectors to them um then there's the um see I had that reverse yes so the these connect the the disc drives so and then this one's the hard drives they're slightly different um not overly different and it depends on the drive that you've got most of the time we're not going to see the ones we're going to see more of these on a PC for most modern builds um you're not going to see much of the of these ones here because those are more of a older one for like Optical drives and such but FY KYR connector that one's going to hook into the motherboard itself it is it's it's deceivingly small um on the picture it looks really big but it's only about like like that big it's not very big um so it's it's pretty it's like that size it's not big um and it usually hooks over on the uh the right hand side for most motherboards because the left hand side's where the CPU is or it's more in the middle depending on the motherboard but it's going to usually be off to the back of your case about like back in here usually is where those are connected but those are also for like smaller connectors for floppy drives things like that this is another one of those where it can be an eight pin or a four pin the one I pulled out earlier was an eight pin um but it was a pure eight pin it couldn't separate into two fours um because I've got two four pinners here that are going to the four pin is connecting to the other end here so a lot of times you're going to have two pieces so like this is the side that connects to the hard drive to the optical drive versus this is the side that's connected to the motherboard most time if you see them like this they're going to connect to the motherboard they're not going to connect anywhere else um if they've got a weird usually a more complex style design they're going to go into the motherboard but if they're more usually like these smaller ones those connect to other devices so like this one straight up that's just connecting to the motherboard itself um pretty much all of those would connect to the motherboard somewhere in some way shape or form yep and they're putting in old stuff too because the joys of when you're working on someone's PC you have no idea how old it is I could be you know you could get this PC that looks newer on the outside they might have just put a old PC in a new case um and then when you're looking at it you're when you open it up and get inside it's it's all crazy and you're like this is very outdated I don't know how you've been using this anymore but the old Hardware still works it's just once it breaks you have to replace it with the newer stuff which then usually requires you have to replace other things so once you start having issues with the older stuff it then becomes a well now I'm having to replace more than just this base stuff I'm having to replace a lot more stuff because this is connect to that and to this to that which causes all sorts of issues the easiest spot to upgrade most computers is the motherboard which is um just it's basically where everything hooks up so it's it's not the brain I would say it's more like I don't really have a good analogy for the human body for what that would be I guess more like the nervous system would be I guess I guess that would be what it would be because your CPU is the brain of the computer really and it sockets into the motherboard itself and that that's underneath this big fan here there's Ram involved which your RAM slots are here um Ram is where most people upgrade their computer periodically because that lets you have lets it run a little more optimally where you can have a bunch of browsers or a bunch of other devices is running at the same time because that's where your memory is typically for you running things not like saving to them that's you're running memory that's why it's called rant um or Rand yeah random access memory is technically it's definition but it it's letting you access stuff while you're using it um there's other slots for like a video card this one doesn't have a video card on it but I did bring one with it it is not a super good high-end one the really high-end ones get really big and uh have a lot of fans on them um but you're still able to just slot them down in here um and it just slides right in it's slotted in and it works um because motherboards have built in video cards but if you're wanting to do any especially anything gaming the default one that's in this the motherboard is not worthwhile do I have a pmic board I believe this one has a p not mistaken uh yes this is a pmsc board yep because now these are all older devices but we use them for our um curriculum students which a lot of them end up being high schoolers so we don't want them to be taking apart something really highend because they're highly likely to break um so we tend to have them working on these um because we do get a lot of high schoolers that take these classes too and uh as my pred or as one of my former St would say they like to gorilla Rize things where when you're putting in the you're trying to slide in some of these cables you uh force it in the wrong way and then it uh doesn't work anymore or if you let the uh the magic smoke out of them they don't work anymore either that's kind of how that works every um there's different types of motherboards because there's different types of CPU sockets um because there's a lot of them yeah I yeah my mistake just yeah cool um because there's different manufacturers of um CPUs there's um the two two of the bigger ones you're going to see a lot are um um Intel and AMD AMD runs hotter by default we were trying to figure that out today but we really didn't come to a conclusion um we argue about random things my group and that was today's topic um and sadly there's not many motherboards that can slot either or so usually you're picking your motherboard based on what your CPU is going to be um because it's not like I could sock it in the newest um Intel on this one and it work um there's different pin layouts for them they don't mix and match that's where you're having to constantly upgrade yeah Intel's mostly Windows stuff I'm I'm not sure what Apple typically uses for their CPUs Apple does a lot of their own stuff yeah they have their own ones like uh it's a M1 a13 by yeah so Apple makes their own CPUs um which makes sense Apple doesn't like to use a lot of other people stuff they like to do their own thing um which is why they have their own operating system but we're not on operating systems right now so we will return to that at a different point um there are different um chipsets that they want you to learn about in this um so it's the motherboard chipsets and if I'm going a little too fast or if someone wants a break let me know I can get a little long-winded um yes Asus makes motherboards there's there's a lot of motherboard U manufacturers more so than the ones that make the um CPUs yeah a asus's motherboards are usually pretty good they actually make a lot of um a lot of gaming ones nowadays too which work relatively well they're not overly pricey either um and if anyone's wanting to build their own PC I do have a good website for picking out parts and being able to price them um if anybody wants that that's just a little side tangent there um can you put it in the chat please Garrett absolutely not that I want to build one but you know yeah wores it may be use it it is useful and it's good to see so that way you know like even if you're having so say you're working on someone's PC you can even use this just to really kind of figure out like if they're wanting to build a new one you could use that to kind of help price it for them be like well if you're want to build a new one if you're wanting the highest end of this that the other you can use this this website to pick it out for them and kind of show it for them a little bit um nice but um the board chipsets um there's like the North Bridge which um let me kind of share my screen again because it's easier to show on this as well um so it's kind of showing the motherboard component Connections in a different way um because everything has to come from the CPU originally because that's like I said that's like the brain of the computer itself um so it's going to send it here which will then send it where it needs to go because Bridge which is this piece here it controls highspeed access to the RAM and the video card which are the things that usually are drawing the most or being used the most at any given moment um because we're not accessing our hard drive all the time we're only really accessing our hard drive on Startup when we have to load our operating system um and then um if you're saving anything or if you got yeah runs runs the ones and zeros um because computers talk in ones and zeros um but you're not constantly saving something on your hard drive or loading something off your hard drive um even with the mouse and keyboard which are technically connected into the Southbridge it allows it to communicate slower speed devices right now I'm not using either one of those devices so it's not needing to do it all the time it's using it whenever I'm moving it around but I'm not just sitting here constantly just spinning my mouse around all time so it doesn't need to be on the faster end where like the video card is displaying this video itself so it's letting me see this so the video card needs to be able to show the mouse moving around just as much as the system needs to know the mouse is moving but a little faster and RAM is a dumb question go for it you there's no dumb questions are we is this some of the things we're going to be required to know for that CompTIA test it it's not going to ask you it's not going to drill down this indepth into it um it'll touch on it so it'll touch on like components and stuff so you'll probably need to know and that's thing is there's a big Bank of stuff that it tests from um right so some person some people might get these questions some people might not get these questions but they do have stuff that's asking like basic you know because they do they at least want you to know what a computer is and what's in it so you will at least need to know the different parts in it and U roughly what they do but you won't necessarily need to know oh the this is the North Bridge this is the South Bridge um but if you can remember the north is the fast stuff South is the slow stuff um that kind of helps the BIOS is important but the BIOS isn't always running so that's why it doesn't happen immediately so it's usually for the slower speed devices um so it's not con your bios isn't constantly running yeah North is fast South is slow so anything that needs to be up and running really really fast um because like I said if I if my Ram wasn't working whenever I would go to click I mean I'd be able to move around on this still but as soon as I went to goes to something else it would uh not remember that I was here before so if I wanted to go back it would then treat it as though I had never been on this page before and it was loading it originally like the first time I had clicked on the page so like you know if it saves like like over here on this it's saving these check marks that I've been through these those won't get saved if your Ram's not working um but um that's on that so like you said north north is fast talk a little more about the expansion slots yes so the expansion slots here those are four things such as um video cards you can add weirdly enough you can add in an audio card those are not really common anymore um but usually the bigger devices are going to have these tabs on them here which are kind of holding it more in place which are for things like the um video card for older end stuff that you might come across um before Wi-Fi was inbuilt into the um motherboards themselves there used to be a Wi-Fi expansion that you could put on there used to be a little Wi-Fi adapter it was a much smaller card than that this I think it was maybe like this size here it was not very big um but it's for things like that um and as Chris said um the most common types of ram are ddr2 and DDR3 I think this one has ddr2 in it me pop one out real fast get my big old fingers in here this one's got ddr2 in it um and ddr2 and DDR3 what's the chipset um this one is running we did MTB these are two gigs two gig sticks yeah we don't that's mostly what we have our two gig uh two gigabyte sticks which Ram is interesting um because you've got these um four slots here and they kind of work in tandem so if you kind of look on this image here let me see if I can zoom in a little bit that's not how I wanted to zoom in zoom in like this that didn't zoom in for me either um you can kind of see how one is a lighter color on each set so they have to be what does it mean when you say CPU runs ones and zeros so what it means when a when computers run on ones and zeros is technically that's how they talk any kind of computer speak in and of itself is ones and zero so it's either true or false it's binary yeah um because you know we always used to associate it with on or off one on zero off um it's technically more in depth than that but that's not really what this one's about um the these were upgrades for this uh PC because it did not have any when we got them um we did put ddr2 but um um if you look at these here for these Ram slots there's two that are a light color and two that are a dark color so they have to be hooked up in tandem so if I only put one ram stick in that lighter color top half it's not going to work as well as if I put one there and then another one there so if I put one stick in the the light colored one then one in the darker colored one it'll work but it's not very efficient they like to be set up together if that makes sense with the machine operate without the chipset yes this machine would work without these in it now do they work well not really but they do work um so if you excuse me I'm sorry if you don't if you were to put them separately uh how would it affect the machine like it's not like it'll hurt it it's just it's not going to run very well because um it the the binary stuff can get really really into the the weeds um but it's mostly just for performance like I'm getting the full it's basically like saying um whenever you put one in each this is the best analogy I can come up with for it it'd be like saying okay I'm going to take I'm going to carry two gallon jugs of water but I'm only fill them halfway up I've still got a gallon but I'm carrying two jugs it'd be more efficient for me to just have one full gallon jug versus carrying two half gallon jugs does that make sense kind of yeah kind of um and this is what a ram stick looks kind of up close not a whole lot to them um but you do have to pay attention to this Notch when you're taking them apart because that Notch has a designated Notch line up to it as you can kind of see here and if uh you put it in backwards you will uh break it which is not what we want to do a certain yes and and it depends on the motherboard too there's some that that support better chips and yeah and RAM is uh as you can tell it's very thin so it is not very durable how much do they cost it depends on what you're going for so like you know if you're going for a more higher end they can vary um ddr2 is not as expensive as DDR3 um but it depends on the manufacturer too because a lot of these companies like to jack up something a little bit but most the time it's based off performance there is I think there is ddr4 now I haven't seen a ddr4 but I do believe there is DDR for I think I remember our instructor that this is this is the only thing he teaches um saying that there were there was ddr4 um then the other super delicate thing is the CPU this is what a CPU looks like on this picture here because I don't want to take this one out right now and have to put it back in because uh I don't have any thermal paste on me which is a different thing too um and most time when you're messing with a computer a lot of times they want you to wear an anti-static wrist strap so that way it's you're not building up static electricity um if you're standing in an environment that doesn't have a whole like if you're working on like a wood dead or something stuff that not going to build up static electricity that much standing on a rubber mat you don't have to have the strap on because a lot of times the strap if you got it hooked to the case here so you're grounding yourself to the case you're going to forget you've got the strap on you're going to walk off and you're going to yank the computer back off the table with you um so if you're using the anti-static wrist strap remember that you've got it on because you can do more damage to it than if you were to touch it and statically electrocute something you will fry a piece but you're not going to tear the whole system up um but back to the CPU portion of it the pin sets here are very delicate on this that's why you're having to really pay attention when you're laying them down in there because there is a crimper device that forces it firm so it won't just pop out but if it's not lined up right and you force that down you're going to bend some of these and if you bend some of those it doesn't work anymore um that's why those are very delicate with it um because it depends on the underside of the processor um it and it should require zero Force to put it in if if you're feeling like resistance to put a CPU in you're it's not going in right it needs to be rotated something it's not doing right it's not hard I kind of make it seem a little scary because you're like oh God I'm going to tear it up but there's no you're not having to like force it into place you should have be able to set it in place and it goes right in um each of them look a little different as you can tell with this one here like this one's got more of the the whole slot in the middle and it's got all the pins on the outside versus this one is a little weird um because its pins are not as protruding they're still there this one's a little harder to mess up but it can still be done and cooling with this yeah you can replace the CPU but it's one that you and this is that this is that crimping device here so it locks it in place so you would pop that little handle out and it' pull back and it' pop open and you just put it in Fold It Down yes there are ddr4 I thought I thought I'd heard him say they were ddr4 I haven't messed with ddr4 but I haven't upgraded my computer in is due for an upgrade um but it works for everything that I need so I haven't bothered upgrading it yet and that's where that's where you encounter a lot of different Tech with computers that's why for people that are building stuff for like whenever they're trying to make new games or something for um PCS it's kind of hard to optimize stuff for them because you have no idea what each person's GNA have in their PC some person might have the best of the best anytime something new comes out they replace it they get the newest of the new the best of the best theirs is going to work way better than the guy that upgrades his he upgrades one piece maybe every three four years um and that's what the average Joe is going to do because as long as your computer's working we don't really care to change a whole lot on it most of the time why I go spend couple hundred dollars on something if I don't need to what does DDR stand for okay um I'm having to remember what DDR stands for it is um I care what that definition it's uh data no it's double data rate memory that sounds right right yeah um and that's where the double data they want them to be kind of in tandem with each other um yeah double data rate memory DD or or or DDR double data rate DDR double data rate um but it's just the double data rate memory for um CPU oh no sorry for Ram not for Ram um and then um yeah so after after you get your CPU and everything in there um as you can see on this one here we've got this big fan piece kind of here so that's sitting on top of the um CPU and that's drawing heat away from that because your CPU generates a lot of heat because like I said it's the brain it's running everything everything you do um everything you do goes through that um so that's where it can get a lot of heat so that's why you want it to be able to dissipate the heat a lot and that's where I mentioned about thermal Pace before so you're not just going to sit that down right on top of it because it's not going to transfer heat as well um thermal pace is this weird gray paste you don't want to put too much on there because you don't want it to come off because it does conduct electricity so if it gets down into the CPU your CPU is not going to work like it's supposed to or if it gets on other parts so usually just a very minimal amount because you want when you squish it down you for it to form a layer in between the two um to where it will um Bond it enough to where the Heat's just transferred right through it so there's no air gap because um air doesn't transfer heat very well as anyone who knows in the winry months whenever uh you walk away from the fire it gets cold really fast because uh the air doesn't transfer heat very well so that's why usually we have different things attached to them to try and dissipate heat which then um that heat sink that's attached to the CPU is either attached to a big fan fans are more common they're easier to make they don't require as much space to install they're usually not as much of a hassle there is another thing called water cooling which is a apparatus that has a reservoir of water in it that's using water to cool it off does CompTIA recommend using thermal glue um most of the time thermal past is usually well recommended um I don't think they ask you about thermal paste on the plus certification exam um because I last took mine couple years I didn't get a question on it I don't believe they ask you about thermal paste or whether or not you should or shouldn't use it um it's just a that's a personal thing that I like and kind of explain what it does [Music] um because there are and I mean if you've got they all come with a little that little plastic film that everything has I do definitely recommend taking that off because plastic doesn't really do that water cooling is really neat um most people think oh water and electronics is uh bad if you don't use thermal paste can it damage the CPU um not necessarily like I said it depends on how much you're running so like if you're running something really high like if you're trying to like say you're trying a game or something and you're playing something that's really drawing power out of your CPU that's making it heat up really bad the thermal paste would definitely help keep it cooler because you can technically go into the system settings and check your um your temperature on stuff um at any given moment while you're on your PC um and if it's running really really hot most it's going to do is it's going to cut your computer off so you know like if your phone or something gets really hot they they they turn off um so that's really what's going to happen you're going to start you know oh my system crashed well it got too hot that's really what's going to happen it's not that it's going to necessarily damage it because like I said as long as you're doing the other methods of at least keeping it cool by having fans and stuff blow on it it'll keep it cool enough but it's not the not using thermal paste is going to damage it in of itself um it's just how efficiently are you wanting to remove um Heat and you know water cooling is very efficient has come a long way um because technology doubles every I guess every two years I think it it more than doubles itself um so that's how why technology gets kind of outdated very fast so water cooling you've got usually a res Reservoir kind of this case wouldn't be very good for it because it has the power supply up top um I would prefer to have this one like the motherboard maybe face this way and have power supply down here because then you put your reservoirs usually on top of the on top of the case is usually where you want the uh it's kind of like a radiator really is what the what it is kind of like for your car so it's got different fans of stuff on it so basically it's taking the hot water from here taking it up to here cooling it off and sitting the cool water back down down the same way your car Works um it's just trying to keep your CPU cool and it works really well now the water is not never really touching the components it's getting close enough so the heat transfers and pulls it away same way with just a fan that's just blowing the hot air off of it um water just tends to be a little more efficient because you're taking it up somewhere and then cooling it back off versus just blowing it around in here and hopefully pulling it back out water cooling doesn't get as Dusty as regular fans do they still do um yeah clean air race cars um more efficient really is what yeah um because there's going to be lots of different stuff with computers that this works just as well but this is way more efficient so you know like like Chris's race car analogy it's the same components but the race car stuff is going to be way more high-end better engineered um it's going to work on a higher end Spectrum than mine is for my car this is our first course information from canvas where are we going over I don't really understand your question all that well so um can you somewhat clarify that cilia maybe I'm just being dumb and not understanding what your question is yeah no worries I was just wondering if this if like if we weren't um to Canvas would we be following along from a module from canvas or so you'd be following so canvas will let you link to NAD and NAD is where you could follow along with this okay gotcha gotcha so next next Monday we'll be on module two which is the PC assembly so I'm gonna have this PC again completely disassembled and we're gonna be basically putting it back together gotcha gotta and that's where y'all will be able to follow along with me there this one I'm just kind of touching on the pieces um but once we get you in canvas then we can get you inad anad is where all of the um let me share share the screen again here what is the can you tell me how do you how do you spell that or drop that in the chat for me please how do you use what now uh you said it's contic conad nead a a d nead um it it's through it's made it's run by managed by Cisco um can I move this yes I can um so like this would be the main page of the this the neat it Essentials 8 course when you logged into it here um it's going to show the syllabus some Packer Tracer resources if you want to download Packet Tracer to do some Labs um which one and two don't have any labs in them we don't start getting into that stuff until uh module three where there's going to be labs is there going to be a follow email about yes um once I get in in the morning tomorrow I'm going to talk with our it guys see why y'all don't why y'all's passwords aren't working get those fixed get them sent to y'all um and then I will send an email with a step-by-step process of how to do that and then how we're going to get you in ticat we'll send you that stuff too so I'm gonna send you a big email uh tomorrow on how to get into canvas then we can get an ticad and you'll be able to access these two um like because if you want to go you know module by module you can just click them here or you can click on the little book here which is just the book information um which will take it in that format that I'm in right here um where I'm scrolling through going through this with y'all now um but you click module one um and it keeps track of what your progress is like you know I'm we're technically a little over the 36% because I haven't been doing everything like the I haven't been answering these so it's not counting me as doing those um and then you progress forward real quick yes can you show me how you got to from canvas to NAD yes so um once we get you into canvas you'll have this here and the NAD link is built into here um and nad's weird where they don't like their link to be put for a direct class anywhere except for the class itself it's weird the way that they do it that way um but you basically once you get in you can click this link here and that'll take you to it that'll technically take you to NAD and then once you create the account that'll take you directly to the class does that make sense gotcha yeah definitely okay thank you Chris you said you were concerned about not being able to log into the college's website but understand things happen we had an issue um it started like middle to end of last month with the default passwords not getting set um I thought our it team had fixed that I guess I was wrong um I'm not sure what the issue is but I am going to talk to him tomorrow and figure out out why that issue is happening um so that we can get that kind of situated fixed um issues of the first day of class um it shouldn't happen but it kind of does um sometimes like I said I wish it didn't happen that way but if it was up to me I would have had y'all in here today and we would have been able to run through this together and ask more specific questions on different things um there are um exams after every module you don't have to have those done immediately after we do this it's available from the start of the class and it's due at the end of the class um those are going to help you with understanding more of that information from each module so the like the module one exam is going to drill down a little more into some of this stuff um than the actual certification is going to but that's just for this module itself so it's not like it carries that much weight on it itself because then there's some that are like you know checkpoint exam modules one through four it's not going to drill down as exact into each module because it's covering more modules um luckily we're not going to get behind on anything we're still on Pace um they are an aren't so for a lot of these classes it would kind of be open and you would just kind of for a lot of the Cisco stuff it's kind of work at your own pace deal um I'm GNA meet here you know every Monday and I'm going to go over a different module um yes the help desk will get you they're the ones I'm going be talking to in the morning to get in um they should still have I think it's Ronnie who's there right now um if you want to go ahead and call there I don't know if he'll answer or not because he might be getting a lot of other stuff it's iffy but we'll for sure have everybody in tomorrow um but like I said we're not getting behind um because we're going through the first module which was my only goal to get through today because I knew we would have some growing pains with getting into canvas getting that form filled out and everything um so I didn't want us to just keep wasting everybody's time by each of us individually having to call call him to get him to reset everything I'd rather start at least getting through the through the module um because once we're through this module module we're kind of still kept up with where we're supposed to be um now this is kind of drilling more down onto the individual little pieces on the motherboard um is where we're kind of at now um or these These are actually on the uh the ram itself so that's kind of going over um these little pieces here is where we're at with these right here so ROM read only memory chips they aren't able to so for memory there's read and there's write so if it's just reading then all it's doing is um whatever info is on it it can't be erased and Rewritten to it's just this is the information that's on it and it can read this so typically um ROM is usually for readon memory chips for specific things like this is how this is supposed to work so that way you can't go in and change the way that this specific piece is supposed to work um there's the prom um it's programmable readon memory chip um which they are manufactured blank and then are programmed so basically ites doesn't have a default setting on it already you put it on there and then now it's read only after you do that so it's just there once you um once you put it on there then you can't change it over again so it's going to work the same way as the ROM does but you get to put what's on it first um then there's the E ROM which is the erasable program will read only memory um which works kind of weird because you program it it's still read only so you can't um reread it rewrite on it again but it can be erased if it's exposed to strong ultraviolet light um so that's why they usually have that transparent portion on there so that way you can expose it to ultraviolet light to erase it and then you can write on it again then you're basically reprogramming it you don't see those too often um because if you reprogram it after it's already been programmed that first time you're probably going to render it useless unless you only had it doing one specific thing and then you're wanting to change what that one specific thing is but it doesn't need that other thing um then there's the electronical electrically erasable ones and these are all just these pieces on here it's I'm I'm going be basically talking a foreign language with some of this stuff this is more on the electronic side of things you're not really going to know that it's not normally tested they put it in here just so that you know about it but they don't normally go this this in depth on it this will probably be on this is on some of that it can be on some of the module one tests but it's usually not going to go into that A+ stuff that's that's drilling way too deep into it when there's a lot of information on A+ so they don't want to just drill down onto these individual tiny pieces that most the time as an IT professional or you know and this is the thing where it people AR really going to be messing with these pieces of it because let's face it if one of these burns out on your RAM or on your motherboard you're just going to replace the motherboard you're not going to go in like a computer engineer and desolder it off the board and put one on there again they're the people that do that're the ones that they send the broken motherboards and other stuff off to them for them to refurbish so they fix it but it's not something that you're going to be dealing with on a day-to-day basis so that CompTIA test is really not going to have much of that stuff on there that's kind of why I'm somewhat brushing over it a little bit so they are kind of it would be exceedingly difficult for me to remove this one off of here because for most things they would have pins sticking out the back but for Ram they do not have that on the motherboard they still do but they're usually soldered in by a machine which is very very precise and not like me with my big old solder iron it's usually at least this size trying to get at a piece that's this little doesn't work very well so usually most of those places have big machines that are going to redo that or they just don't care and they just take they desol everything take it off and then um scrap the parts and use them for their pieces the most modern stuff is getting to the point now where it's so small so tight that it's really hard to take apart anything now other than replacing individual bigger pieces like the ram you're usually not going to be taking apart the little tiny pieces in there um unless you have a lot of time and patience um which a lot of people don't have yeah you're mostly gonna be replacing hard drives Ram CPU motherboards fans power supplies the bigger pieces like you know these big pieces here you know you might be adding an additional you know 8 gig hard drive or you know one terabyte hard drive you're not going to be oh darn this uh capacitor blue let me replace my capacitor that's typically not what you're going to be doing with um with that um now we're getting to more of the adapters this is where the expansion slots were like I said so there's the sound adapters um and anytime you see empty spaces on like the back of a tower so like if you if you're using a tower right now most of us are probably using laptops um because laptops are very easily accessible nowadays more easy to use anytime you see one of these little openings here that's a slot for an expansion so that's where you're going to put in either a sound adapter where it's going to have those extra pins off the back so say you wanted to have a like a big sound system or something hooked up to it you could technically hook into that sound adapter part not too many people use those they are still available you can use them this was the a Nick interface most um which is just network cable interface most PCS already have the ethernet access on it anyway that would just be more if you're wanting to set up a network and hook multiple devices together you're not going to see that very often except potentially in like yeah the ethernet cable you're not going to see that on most things other than maybe like servers but most most time server dies you're not taking a part a server you're just getting a new server um because servers get crazy they're just really big computers with a bunch of a bunch of the same pieces in there um there's the EA card I don't really ever see these um I'm trying to remember the last time I saw an EA card he just adds an additional um additional internal external SATA ports um if because most modern um motherboards now have enough SATA connections for all of your hard drives and everything this would be if you were adding some external ones or an additional internal ones that you had space for but your piece your motherboard didn't support naturally um I don't see too I like I said I haven't seen those so when a server goes down that doesn't necessarily mean that it um it's broke so servers work kind of the same yeah because servers work kind of the same like a computer but they don't ever really turn off so the server you're hooking into it from several different devices and it's having to send the stuff out to other different devices now when the server goes down that could be either it lost power somehow it um locked up they're having to reset it sometimes they need to be updated it is a two-way street data's coming in data is coming out um sometimes the servers can get bogged down it's just kind of like our same thing with like internet at home or something like your Wi-Fi so say you know once you get everybody on the Wi-Fi it starts slowing down and you can tell so that's why a lot of times servers that's why a lot of times you want to have redundancy that's why they call it redundancy because you want to have more cap capacity than you can normally get so that way even if you get more than your normal it's not going to go down it's not going to have issues now if they were to say the server is dead yeah that means something broke on it that means something died and they're having to replace it um someone let the magic smoke out of the server and it uh it no longer works and then the most common one adapter you're going to see is the video cards um if you're wanting to watch highdefinition movies video games they need the video card or back when crypto was really really big people used them for mining rigs um don't really see mining rigs anymore um they uh aren't efficient but that was when it was really really big um all the expansion p ports um are going to do different stuff there's the PCI ports mini PCI pcix pcie um I haven't seen a riser card I don't think ever other than in these books um it's an addition it's kind of the same way that other one worked where aiser card is another Edition it lets you have an additional additional slot it's it's weird it's an addition to the addition it lets you have more of these but not internally into it um so it's typically plugged in Via a like USBC um I don't think it uses usba it's usually USBC that they're hooked into they're really small um like I said I don't ever really see them and it still has to have the hook in for your power um but they can be set up internally or externally externally I really don't know how that would work but you'd have this weird mangled up looking PC if you had all these other things dangling out of it um hard drives is where you can get into a lot of different stuff so I mean 500 gigabytes used to be a ton nowadays 500 gigabytes is nothing I mean we can fill up a terabyte of data very quickly um there's the different types of hard drives um still the most common ones you'll find are the hard dis drives are the ones that have the metal platters in them that when they start dying you start hearing them clicking that's the click of death that means your hard drive is dying it is no longer able to read and write as efficiently as it used to um those can read and write more often than a solid state but they're much slower so typically for a lot of like higher end builds or most builds now they'll use a solid state drive for their operating system so that helps your computer boot up quicker because these read and write way faster but they can still also only be read and writ read they can only read and write so many times also um so once it reaches that limit it's going to burn out and you have to replace it they don't really make noises like the caliper ones do so it's harder to tell when they're dying it's just a it's a really big flash drive um you don't usually need too big of one for just your operating system that usually helps them run faster is by being on the solid state drive because it will boot up faster than it having to find all the bits on here but for your everyday storage these work just fine because you're not accessing these that often and same with the solid state drive for your operating system you access it once when you boot it up and you're not having to read and write on it that much because it's running it doesn't need it optical drive you don't really see these anymore same with tape drives but they're work there were tape drives same with the floppy drives you're not going to really encounter those anymore or if you do odds of them working on as High um they still can be on up um and this is this is the hard drives on the inside um that's the not the solid state ones these are the the other ones the hdds the hard disk drives that's what I said on the calipers so this thing is having to move around and it's reading and this is spinning and that's how it's reading and writing all of your data on it that's where you'll start hearing the click of death because this arm is beating into this because it's starting to wear out um solid state drives are just big flash drives they don't look they look really complicated on the inside but they don't have anything that's really moving they're not a bunch of moving Parts like the HDD drives all Drive hard drives um but the solid state drives can appear just like a typical hard drive that you'd see in that shape or they can appear really little like these um those are usually going to be like expansion slots that you're not going to see too often because usually they're in inside it where you're not going to be seeing it it's not like in your face like these two are was like this is where our hard drive is here on this PC you're able to physically see it touch it plug cables into it that one you plug it in and it's getting the power through the board versus this solid state would be plugged in the same way as the regular HDD Drive is yes this Zoom record I'm recording this I'm going to upload it into the class I'm G upload it into canvas and I'm going to upload it into nead where you'll be able to go back and watch this whenever you want to if you want to listen to me ramble more and more we can absolutely do that and then um I'm gonna record every week's and if you have any like I said if you have any questions throughout the week you know where you're starting to do some of these um if you're starting to do some of these modules some of these tests if you go through something that I didn't really touch on too deep but you want to know more on it feel free to email me anytime day or night I I check my email more frequently than I probably should um so I'll be more than happy to answer anybody's questions on any that I went over today anything I didn't go over today in it um and Garrett what's the expectation are we expected that module one have been completed for the day including the exam or is that what not so basically it's just getting through the information of module one today which we're kind of mostly through most of it because a lot of the other stuff most of you already really know about it because we're done with most of the internal stuff it's just getting on more of the adapters and stuff like the old like most the time we've got H uh we don't have the DVI V the digital Vis digital visual interface cables anymore we mostly have HDMI cables because most people just see HDMI cables um there are different display ports and such now Garrett yes when we get to the part the point where we're really going to be doubling down on the compa things are you going to flag them for us and let us know like okay this is definitely going to be on the test so you guys need to focus that kind of thing yeah okay um and um for the for Chris on the uh the practice quizzes the um in this uh module here uh it's not in this module one but once we get down here to it's the certification practice exams we will definitely go through one of those certification practice exams together as a class towards the end of the class we'll go through one of them together um just so y'all can kind of see the certification practice exams are going to be a lot of good information they're going to be different just about every time you take it um um that's the thing with certifications this one the when I took it last it was not adaptive um adaptive tests can be where I'll make sure I'll make sure if it is adaptive or not before we start going through these so that way I can kind of touch on it um adaptive tests basically just mean if you answer a question wrong it's going to give you more questions about that to see if you just misstepped or if you actually don't know it adaptive tests can be kind of brutal but that's why I'm going to find out 100% if it is or if it's not before we start going through those because yeah um and then it's kind of go GNA go more into the different like ribbon cables USBS um you're not going to see any PS2 cable PS2 ports anymore you'll still see them sometimes on like old motherboards like this one here that's what we used to hook our Mouse and keyboards in before USB USB is faster your most modern stuff you're going to see those network cables we've seen those the serial the SATA cables that's the ones that hook into the hard drives um can you show me where the uploaded video will be added so that I can find it later absolutely so um in the in canvas it's going to go there's going to be a new tab that shows up here that's going to be be Zoom recordings and then in the NAD class itself it's going to be here Zoom recordings and links so this is just the weekly link and it's just GNA be another link to that recording underneath that gotcha gotcha um until we get access to the um Dad yeah could you email the link for tonight for the recording yeah yeah I can send it out so that we can review and do some study absolutely take some better notes absolutely and hopefully we'll be able to we we should we not hopefully we will have you in dad tomorrow so that way you can go through this and click each individual drill down kind of look at what they look like um and like this this is a this is a test this is not even this is like a check your understanding this is asking me what it is and I'm supposed to be putting it on here obviously that's not a HDMI cable that's kind of what it's going over just a these aren't graded in it it's just like a like those weird little quizzes you would come across in a book like your old textbooks um where it would be like hey like draw these you know match these two things up you know then it's going over other input devices um keyboards controllers Mouse things like that more newer stuff like tablet buets the touch screens barcode scanners all those things are connectors that can be hooked into it um most stuff you're going to be interacting with unless you're doing stuff for yeah they're just like check your knowledge because and they're they're usually going to be like right after they just went over something like that like this one here you know check your understanding input devices what was the first type of input device well obviously it wasn't a stylist or a touchcreen um and you know you would in your opinion yes do most people pass CA the tests the first time um it depends it and I say it depends because I'm a terrible test taker if you give me a lab where I have to do it I can do it all day long you sit me down and take a test my my mind blanks completely I might not even write my name down correctly anymore um terrible test taker I didn't pass it on my first try but I know where I went wrong and I was like and I second guessed myself a lot because I'm terrible test taker I took it immediately the next day didn't study anymore and I passed it immediately because then I was already that because I mean I missed it by like one question I think so which one we put for this one um it'll be in this original input devices because they're mostly most common used is keyboards so yeah it would probably be keyboard because some like um um I think it's keyboard let me make sure that's right yes so because a lot of laptops don't have they don't have a mouse inbuilt into them so it's technically not they always have a mouse but pretty much everything has to have a keyboard um but you know out of these ones it would have to have been one of those two and that's where a lot of these you're just having to drill down figure out what it is that one's a trickier one um but I mean before the mouse was made I don't know if anybody remembers them or not they had the weird little like green dot in the middle of the keyboard that you use to move around with um I forget what that was technically called um but that was still part of the keyboard itself um that's what you used to and even before that you moved around just with you move the mouse around with just the keyboard so keyboard was technically the very first one um and then they go over stuff monitors projectors they're the same types of things it's just differently how it's displayed um different display ports um different types of speakers we don't have to have the big speakers a lot of us use our headphones for everything um because we don't want everybody in their brother to hear what we're doing or hear what we're watching if I'm in class I don't want to bother everybody else with what I'm listening to or if I'm listening to music to study I don't want everybody else to have to hear it printers get really crazy um and that's kind of the end of module one is just kind of these input devices is there any specific spot someone would want me to drill down in a little bit more before we call it for today I know I've talked y'all's heads off so if you think of something even later like you're just trying to process it all if you think of it later feel free to yeah the MOs didn't have Mouse demice technically um do all of you have my email my direct email yes yes okay um if you think of something tonight tomorrow that I touched on but didn't really drill down on and you want me to drill down on a little bit more feel free to ask I'll be H and I mean some people don't like asking questions in front of the group I understand feel free to if you want to direct message me in zoom and we stay a little bit after the class to kind of double check go over it I can do that or if you want us to meet a different time to go over it we can do that too well can you stay um just for a second with me absolutely when class is over uh and real quick Garrett so I just want to clarify sorry if I keep seeming like I'm answering the asking the same question but uh for module one we want to have that completed um on what is it called uh medicad Medicade so um that when we get together back on Monday we're g to be going over module two together is what I assume correct so we're gonna be going over module two on Monday a week from today now there is a exam located with module one you don't have to have that done now if you're trying to keep up with it it would be easier to do it as we do it but you could wait till till I mean I don't I really don't recommend it waiting till the end of the class and try and do all the exams and stuff but you can technically do that um now it's not everything's not going to be opened up at the very beginning um because I do have stuff opening up I have each module opening up as the day that we're supposed to get to it um so technically today module one and two opened up so if you were like tomorrow once we get in if you want to go ahead and pre-ad module two you're more than welcome to do that um but I'm going to go over it uh Monday anyway um so if you want to follow along directly with me you can if you want to work a little bit ahead of me you can and if you're um you know if you're want to work a little bit behind you can still do do that cuz I know we're all adults life happens sometimes we might miss one or two um you can still catch up so what happens on Wednesday because they said that a representative is going to be in person on Wednesdays is that so A representative person on Wednesdays they said a representative from Cisco would be in the class on Wednesday h h no I don't Wes they said the same thing uh to me Al to us also so starting starting this Wednesday no you I'm not sure they haven't told me anything on that but then again I also didn't know about this until Thursday this class in general so um they've been a little laid on the ball and telling me a lot of stuff so if I will see y'all Wednesday for that I'll see y'all for Wednesday for that I so okay well Garett I just want to say thank you I you taking the time to do this even though it was last minute for you but you did very well so it's no problem at all I try I try to make things fun I like to ramble a little bit as y'all notic um but I like to think that makes things a little more interesting thing instead of me reading a PowerPoint and boring you to death um you didn't put us to sleep which is good that's a plus exactly thank you very much so no problem um I will if if um I'll find out on the Wednesday I'll find out about the Wednesday representative thing and I'll send you all an email tomorrow also on that if I will be there what we're doing with it um great so I'll s I'll find that out and I'll send you all an email on that because I haven't heard of that but I will find out about it for you thank you all right well there any other questions for tonight can I just uh for five minutes have you for five minutes after class please absolutely thank you thank you have a good night everybody yep you as well have a good night good night everyone so much good night fix my camera a little bit jar I wanted to share my screen yeah good night good night all right you should be able to share it now if you want to okay top of my head let me put this uh let's see just putting one thing here
