Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Necessary CPU Functions Fourth Edition • Two functions are necessary for devices to work: – The CPU must have a way to talk to devices. – Devices must have a way to send data to and receive data from the CPU. • Fix: We’ll elevate the MCC into the chipset and use that to connect the CPU to all the devices. © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Fourth Edition The Northbridge and Southbridge • The Northbridge is the first chip in the chipset. – Connects the CPU to video and/or memory • The Southbridge, the second in the chipset – handles all inputs and outputs to the many devices in the PC and extends data bus and address bus to all other parts of PC. • The chipset extends the data bus to touch all the devices. – It also extends the address bus. © 2012 The Mc.

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Talking to the Keyboard Fourth Edition • Example: how the CPU recognizes when a key is pressed – A keyboard controller chip (now part of the Southbridge) recognizes when a key is pressed. Let’s say the “J” key was pressed. – The keyboard controller scans the matrix of wires on the keyboard and puts the scan code for the “J” key into its register. – The keyboard controller then gets the attention of the CPU, essentially saying, “I have some data. ” – When the CPU addresses the keyboard controller, the keyboard controller places the data onto the external data bus so that the CPU can read it. © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Fourth Edition Talking to the Keyboard (continued) • Example: how the CPU recognizes when a key is pressed (continued) – For all of this to work, programming has to be readily available to the CPU, and the CPU needs this programming as soon as it is powered up—this programming is stored in ROM.

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Fourth Edition BIOS (Basic Input/Output Services) • The read-only memory (ROM) chip also called system ROM or the ROM BIOS – Nonvolatile (does not lose its programming, even if no power) – Read-only means it cannot be easily erased – Stores hundreds of programs called services; collectively, this is the basic input/output services or system (BIOS) – System ROM typically holds 64 KB (65, 536) lines of data code, though current Flash ROM is often 2 MB or more in size – Historically, a DIPP chip with a shiny label on it, but it has gone through many changes © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs BIOS (continued) Fourth Edition • Each time the CPU needs to talk to a component, it refers to the BIOS for the program to talk to that specific device. • The CPU talks to the ROM BIOS the same way it talks to RAM—through the address bus—with some of the address bus being reserved for the ROM BIOS. • Many devices and expansion cards have their communication programs on ROM chips. © 2012 The Mc.

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Fourth Edition Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) • What it is: – A separate chip from the ROM BIOS, though most often now part of the Southbridge – Volatile: kept alive by a battery – Also acts as a clock and keeps the date and time – Stores only the changeable data, not programs, read by the BIOS – Customizable via setup program. The setup program is stored on the ROM BIOS, but the customizable settings are on the CMOS chip. – Stores semipermanent, user-changeable data related to hardware components such as disk drives, RAM, and I/O ports © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Fourth Edition Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) (continued) • What it is (continued): – Is typically 64 KB, but only a fraction of that is actually used to store the critical data Figure 11: Old-style CMOS © 2012 The Mc.

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Fourth Edition ROM Initiates the POST Process • Upon boot, the ROM initiates the POST process • The POST routine sends out a message to all assumed components to initiate selftests – This determines whether the components are working properly. The quality of POST diagnostics is determined by the component. • If a component fails self-diagnostics, the POST process halts and sends an error message. © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Beep Codes Fourth Edition • Before and during the video test: beep codes • If video is missing or faulty, you’ll hear one long beep followed by three short beeps. • If RAM is missing or faulty, you’ll hear a rather alarming beeping/buzzing that will repeat as long as the computer is on. • If the POST completes successfully, you’ll hear one or two short beeps. © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs Text Errors Fourth Edition • Once the video is determined to be good, errors can be displayed. • Errors are usually displayed in clear text, though they can sometimes be rather cryptic.

TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs POST Cards Fourth Edition • The small expansion card installs into an available slot – used to monitor the POST and identify whether a piece of hardware is causing startup issues • Note the light emitting diode (LED) display to see what device POST is currently checking – Refer to the two-digit hex code on the LED display to determine the faulty POST code • Look up the code in the companion manual—it can help identify the faulty component © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs POST Cards (continued) Fourth Edition • If the PC passes POST, the problem is more likely a software problem • POST cards used to be an essential tool for techs – Today they are rarely used, and then only on a “dead” PC to determine at which level it’s dead – If the POST card shows no reading, the problem is before the POST and must be related to the CPU © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs The Boot Process Fourth Edition • The power supply checks for proper voltage. – If the proper voltage is found, the power supply sends a signal through the power good wire. – This awakens the CPU, which in turn sends a builtin memory address, which is the first line of the POST program on the system ROM. • The ROM begins the POST routines. • Once the POST is passed, the ROM begins the boot process (the bootstrap loader) by looking for an operating system according to the CMOS settings. © 2012 The Mc.

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs The Boot Process (continued) Fourth Edition • The CMOS settings tell it which device to try to boot from. – It looks at the boot sector of that device (floppy, CD-ROM, hard drive, etc. ) and tries to load an operating system. • Once the boot process begins, control is handed over to the operating system. • Some BIOS allow the PC to use a preboot execution environment (PXE). – A PXE enables you to boot a PC without any local storage by retrieving an OS from a server over a network. © 2012 The Mc.

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs UEFI Fourth Edition • BIOS hasn’t changed much since it was conceived back in the 1980 s. – BIOS works only in 16 -bit mode and depends on x 86 -compliant hardware. – In addition, if there is more than one operating system loaded on a single drive, you need one of those installed OSes to act as a boot loader. • In 2005, Intel released its Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) for public standards, creating the Unified EFI forum to manage the specification. – Became the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved

Mike Meyers’ Comp. TIA A+® Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs UEFI (continued) Fourth Edition • UEFI acts as a super-BIOS, doing the same job in a 64 -bit environment. • UEFI: – Supports 32 -bit or 64 -bit booting – Handles all boot-loading duties – Is not dependent on x 86 firmware • UEFI motherboards only became available in 2011 due to limitations of older BIOS to handle larger MBR partition support (>2. 2 TB) – 3 TB drives had issues with older BIOS © 2012 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
