Measuring ElectricityVoltage—pressure of electrons in a wire
Unit of measurement: Volts (V)Current— flow (or amount) of electrons in a wire
Unit of measurement: Ampere (A)When voltage is applied to a wire, electrons flow,
producing current
Wattage—measure of power consumed or needed Unit of measurement: Watt (W) W = V * A
Resistance—impedance or opposition to the flowUnit of measurement: Ohm (Ω)

Measuring ElectricityWire has amperage rating
Defines how much amperage it can handle i.e., 20 amp, 30 amp
If you exceed amperage Wires heat up—may break
Circuit breakers are heat sensitiveSense when amperage exceeds thresholdBreaks the circuit to stop the flow of
electricity

Two Types of CurrentAlternating Current (AC)—electrical
current flows in both directionsElectricity provided at wall socketFrequency of alternations measured in
cycles per second, or hertz (Hz)
Direct Current (DC)—electrical current flows in one directionElectricity provided by batteries

Types of PowerPCs use DC voltage
Power companies supply AC voltage
The power supply in a computer converts high-voltage AC to low-voltage DC
![Page 9: MELJUN CORTES computer organization_lecture_chapter8](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a4bbf51a28ab2d688b6387/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Supplying ACIn the U.S., 115 VAC is standardOther countries use 230 VAC
Many PCs may have a small switch on the back to choose 115 or 230 V (used in other countries)
Pay attention to this switch, especially when traveling overseas
![Page 10: MELJUN CORTES computer organization_lecture_chapter8](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a4bbf51a28ab2d688b6387/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Outlet VoltagesHot and neutral provide
path for ACHot has 115 V
Neutral carries no voltage
Ground used for safetyReturns excess electricity

Multimeter BasicsA multimeter (or Volt-
Ohm meter: VOM) measures:VoltageResistanceContinuity
WarningSet it properly before
measuringIf not, damage can occur

Testing AC VoltageVerifies wiring of outlet
Hot should be 115 VAC
Neutral completes the circuit
Ground should go to ground

Surge Suppressors Surge suppressors provide protection against power
surges Insert between the power supply and the outlet Joule is a unit of electrical energy
Surge suppressor rated by joulesHigher joules = better protection
Some protect more than AC surgesPhone lines for traditional modemsCable connections for cable modems

Uninterruptible Power Supply
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provides protection against a power dip or power outage
Contains a battery that provides continuous AC power
Provides surge protection and power conditioning Constantly charges battery
All UPSs measured in watts and volts-amps
![Page 15: MELJUN CORTES computer organization_lecture_chapter8](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a4bbf51a28ab2d688b6387/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Supplying DCThe power supply acts as a step-down
transformer Converting AC into 5, 12, and 3.3 V DC
PCs use a 12 V current to power motors on devices such as hard drives and CD-ROM drives
PCs use a 5-volt/3.3-volt current to support onboard electronics

Wattage RequirementsEvery device requires some wattage
Often starting requirements are higher than running requirements
Power supplies don’t run at 100% efficiencyATX 12 V requires power supplies to be at
least 70% efficient
General recommendationUse at least a 400 W power supplyEnough extra for starting and future growth

ATX Soft Power and CMOS
An ATX power supply never turns offContinues to supply 5V to the
motherboard as long as it is connected to the power outlet
Always unplug an ATX power supply before working on it
Some ATX power supplies provide a real on/off switch on the back
Can use a screwdriver or car keys to short the two power jumpers to turn the system on or off in special circumstances

Cooling The power supply fan provides basic cooling
for the PC
Fan keeps the voltage regulators cool and provides a constant flow of cool air through the computer
If power supply fan stops, replace power supply
Many fans have sensors to detect when they should run quicker
![Page 28: MELJUN CORTES computer organization_lecture_chapter8](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a4bbf51a28ab2d688b6387/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Cooling Case fan provides extra cooling for PC
Most modern computers have case fans
Often plug into Molex connector
Connector adapters can be used
![Page 29: MELJUN CORTES computer organization_lecture_chapter8](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a4bbf51a28ab2d688b6387/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Maintaining Airflow Keep case closed
Keep covers on case
If an expansion card is removed from the PC, be sure to cover the hole with a slot cover
Without proper airflow, the CPU can overheat and destroy itself

Reducing Fan NoiseSome fans can be adjusted
Manually adjustable with knobSoftware adjustable by sensing heat
Larger fans that spin slower are quieter
Higher-end fans are quieterUse better bearings

When Power Supplies DiePower supplies fail in two ways:
Sudden deathWhen the fan doesn’t turn and no voltage is presentComputer simply stops working
Slowly over time Intermittent errorsOutput voltages may exceed specs (± 10%)

Power Supply TestPut the black lead onto
any black wire connection
Put the red lead onto colored wire
• 12 V ± 10%– 10.8 to 13.2 V– If readings are outside
tolerance and symptoms exist, replace power supply
• 5V ± 10%– 4.5 to 5.5 V
• 3.3 V ± 10%– 2.97 to 3.63 V

When Power Supplies Die Slowly
Intermittent problemsSometimes occur, sometimes don’tYou could measure voltage now and it’s good;
10 minutes later, system crashes
A dying power supply can causeRandom lockups and rebootsSporadic boot-up difficulties
When you encounter intermittent symptoms, consider replacing the power supply
