A 2U rack mounted device is 3.5 inches tall. Standard 1U rack components fit within the 17.75 inch distance between rack rails, though their width is not determined by U height. Mounting holes in rack rails are arranged in groups of three, spanning a height of 1.75 inches per group. A chassis intrusion switch cuts power when the computer case is open to prevent operation or boot with the case removed. Diagnostic LEDs are typically located on the back of a tower PC case. Rack mounted computers often include front expansion bays to swap or add storage devices. Passive cooling relies on convection or conduction, while options for area cooling are room, rack, and row levels. A self-

Review questions

1 How tall is a 2U rack mounted device?


Each U-height unit equals 1.75 inches, so a 2U device is 3.5" tall.
2 How wide is a 1U rack-mounted device?
The U-height of a device doesn’t correlate to its width. Standard rack components
designed for a 19" wide rack fit within the 17.75" distance between rails.
3 Mounting holes in the rails in a standard computer rack are arranged in
groups of _______, with each group spanning a height of ______
inches.
three, 1.75 (one U height)
4 What is the purpose of a chassis intrusion switch?
A chassis intrusion switch cuts power to the computer so that you cannot operate it
with the case open. Sometimes, once thrown, these switches prevent you from
booting the PC as a means to warn you that the case was opened.
5 True or false? Diagnostic LEDs are typically located on the front of a
tower PC case.
False; they’re typically located on the back of the case.
6 On the front or top of the case, rack-mounted computers often include
a(n) _________ ________ that enables you to quickly swap or add a
storage device.
Expansion bay
7 True or false? Phase is a characteristic of DC power.
False. It is a characteristic of AC power.
8 PC power supplies are often categorized by the number of _______ of
electrical power they can provide.
watts
9 Which of the following are voltage levels used by typical internal PC
components? [Choose all that apply.]
A 12 V
B +5 V
C +3.3 V
D +2 V
10 What is the purpose of the VRM?
The voltage regulator module provides the appropriate voltage level to the
processor, based on a signal sent by the processor.
11 The peripheral power connector, also called the _______ connector, is
often used to connect hard drives and CD/DVD drives.
Molex
12 The yellow wire in a power connector carries ______ volt DC
electricity.
+12
13 Which cooling system relies on small tubes filled with a small amount
of fluid?
A Cooling fins
B Heat pipes
C Heat sinks
D Peltier coolers
14 Which cooling system uses an electronic component that gets colder
when voltage is applied?
A Cooling fins
B Heat pipes
C Heat sinks
D Peltier coolers
15 True or false? Passive cooling devices rely on convection or conduction
to dissipate excess heat.
True
16 The three area cooling options are _____, ______, and ______.
Room, rack, row
17 What is the purpose of a self-contained rack cooling unit?
Such a cooled rack can be placed in any location where a cool environment is
required, rather than having to be located in a environmentally controlled computer
room.
