CPU Front Panel

CPU Front Panel


ELF Membership board:

3.5" x 2.15" (fits in an Altoids candy tin)
1802 CPU (with adjustable RC clock oscillator)
one 28-pin memory socket (for standard 2k-32k byte RAMs or EPROMs)
8-bit output port (OUT5 or OUT7)
8-bit input port (IN5 or IN7)
expansion header with all I/O and 1802 signals
operates on 3v-6v at under 1ma (plus whatever the particular memory chip you use requires)
ELF Front Panel board:

3.5" x 2.15" (plugs onto the Membership board)
9 individual LEDs (D0-D7, plus Q)
11 subminiature toggle switches (D0-D7, Clear/Wait/Load/Run, and Memory Protect -- exactly like original ELF)
25-pin DB25 connector to go to PC parallel port
The PC connection allows the PC to completely control the front panel; and thus load, examine, and run programs, and read/write to the I/O ports.

Jumper

Jumper


Jumper settings is near the cmos battery.To clear the BIOS or CMOS settings password,date,time and to reset the BIOS settings,this jumper is placed alternatively and again replace to original position


Those who want to install a 2.5" notebook hard disk in a typical desktop PC - if only for data synchronization - can use an adapter like this one.
Warning: In most cases, notches in the connector provide protection against reverse insertion or pin alignment/mismatch problems, but older cut-rate cables may lack these features. To prevent mishap, please obey the following rule: the side of the cable that's marked with a colored line (usually red) always attaches to the connector on the motherboard on the side that's labeled with the number 1, both for hard disks and CD/DVD drives (in fact, the stripe denotes the lead associated with pin 1 in the pin block). At the same time, the marked side of the ribbon cable should always be oriented toward the side of the drive where the power cables attach. Also, careful examination of the cable connectors and device or motherboard pin blocks show that both are missing a pin or a hole in the middle of one row. By matching up the missing pin on the drive or motherboard with the missing hole on the ribbon cable connector, correct alignment is always guaranteed.




One ribbon cable can handle two devices, such as a combination of two hard disks or a hard disk and a DVD player or burner. When two devices share a ribbon cable, one must always be configured as the master, and the other as a slave. This configuration usually requires setting a jumper as shown in this picture

Heat Sink





Lets put this in simple words, Processors are attached with motherboard via their connecting socket, different processors have different socket architecture. AMD uses AM2 / 939 / 940 where as Intel is using same LGA775 socket architecture for a long period of time.

And what’s a heat sink ??
When processors run, they generate a lot of heat, heat sink is an environment or object that absorbs and dissipates heat from another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant).


So, is there any difference between LGA775 heat sicks ??
Infact though they look the same for all processors, but underneath they are different. Intel Celeron and Intel Core 2 Duo doesn’t come with exact same one !!
Let us take a look at some of the Intel default LGA775 heat sinks.


They may look same from the out side, but when you take a look at them from in-side, you may spot the difference !!
Let us take a look at their diagrams,
This bellow one would be a LGA775 of Intel Core 2 Duo E6xxx and E8xxx and Core 2 Quad Q6600 / Q6700,

Where as this (bellow) one is a LGA775 heat sink of Intel Pentium Dual Core / Core 2 Duo E4xxx / Pentium 4 5xx / 6xx / Celeron D

and as the Pentium D / Pentium eXtreme Editions runs at 3 GHz and higher thus generating a lot of heat so this type of heat sink are supplied with them.

The best would be these bellow type LGA775 which comes with top line Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Quads (45nm),


Many of us upgrades our system from Pentium 4 to Pentium D or Core 2 range processors. Some time one may find that processor fan is faulty with their new system, and just to save time and money involving in warranty issue, they simply install the older Heat sink and fan with their new system.
Now as you may see,most of the time though the socket is LGA775 and all heat sink looks the same, but underneath they are quite different.
So it is always recommended to use the proper heat sink which is meant for your system, or a better one (if you know what you are doing).

CMOS or BIOS Battery

CMOS  or BIOS Battery


* 1your clock starts running slowly
    * when you boot (start) your computer it has a problem finding your hardware (no hard drive, no cd rom)

To change the battery you need the following tools:-

    * a X-point screwdriver
    * an anti-static strap
    * a new battery (without it what are you changing)

** unplug all the cables from the back of the computer as you remove them make a note where they came from. (always rember where the plugs goes back)


* Make sure the power is off
    * There are sharp edges and all so be carefull
    * Do not remove unnecessary plugs and all-they will have big effect on the computer
    * Do not damage anything inside the case

Trust 4 Port USB Hub


Trust 4 Port USB Hub



Ters have several types of information cables that support a wide variety of hardware devices, and allow data to be transferred to your PC from cell phones, cameras, external hard drives, mice, keyboards, printers, and even wireless network adapters.
The most common type of data cable is a USB cable (Universal Serial Bus - which is a protocol for transferring data to and from digital devices). USB 2.0 is the latest version of this protocol, and it supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps, which is several times faster than a high-speed DSL broadband internet connection.
