Case, Power Supply, and Motherboard Types • AT Style: • Original style of cases and motherboards, based on the 1st IBM PC-XT design. • The power supply has 2 six-pin header connectors labeled P8 and P9, which provide +/-5VDC, +/-12VDC, signal, and ground. • When plugging the PS to the MB, the ground/black wire on P8 is always next to the ground/black wire on P9. • Typical PS provides up to 200 watts • ATX Style: • A more recent style of case and motherboard, designed for easier component layout and serviceability. • The power supply is a 20-pin header which provides +/-5VDC, +/-12VDC, ground, signal, power on/off, and 3.3VDC • Typical PS provides up to 350 watts. • Other and Proprietary • Laptop

Case Designs • Desktop • Sit horizontally on a desk • Towers • Vertically on the floor besides the desk • More bays for I/O devices, depending on heighth of tower • Can have cooling problems due to card placement • Rackmount • Typically heavy duty construction • Designed to be installed in a colo or telco rack • Laptop/portables

Modern I/O Port Types • Keyboard • 5-pin DIN or PS/2 6-pin mini-DIN • Mouse • DB9M or PS/2 6-pin mini-DIN • Serial • DB9M or DB25M • Parallel • DB25F • Video • DB15F-3 • Game • DB15F-2 • Modem • RJ11F • Network • RJ45F or BNC • Sound • RCA-F or 1/8” tip/ring-F • SCSI • 50-pin Centronics, DB25F, mini-DB25F, others • USB • USB/A-F • Firewire • Firewire/A-F
Standard I/O Ports • RS-232 Serial • 1 data line, up to 115Kbps • Can handle synchronous or asynchronous transmission • Is controlled by either a 8-bit or 16-bit UART • Connection between like serial devices is done via a null-modem cable • Centronics Parallel • 8 data lines, up to 115Kbps • 10 foot practical length • USB • Can handle up to 127 devices on the bus using just 1 IR, buffer address range, and DMA • Up to 10Mbps • IEEE 1394/Firewire • Can handle up to 64 devices on the bus just 1 IR, buffer address range, and DMA • Up to 400Mbps
Hard Drive Interface Types • MFM/RRL/Winchester • Easily recognizable by the fact that there are 2 data cables that connect the controller to the drive • Oldest of the drive types • 1 drive per interface card • IDE • Generally, a lower cost drive solution • 40-pin cable • 2 drives per interface card, 2 cards total • A drive can be set as a slave or a master on its card, or the drive can depend on “cable select” for its assignment • SCSI • 50-pin cable for SCSI-1 and -2, 68-pin for SCSI-3 • 8 addresses per interface card daisy chain (of which the card uses address #7 and the boot drive uses #0). Each address can have 4 Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) • Termination is required at the ends of each SCSI bus • Maximum length of a daisy chain is 20 feet, with each segment being a max of 3 feet.
