3. Your assistant technician calls you and says he suspects a bad power supply in one of your client's systems. He said the multimeter readings are 12.65 volts and 4.15 volts. What should he do?
4. One of your clients has an older Pentium 4 system with a single IDE hard drive and 512 MB of RAM. He had been using this PC as his main workstation, but he's recently purchased a newer system and now wants to redeploy the older system as a file server on his network. He has ordered a PCI SCSI controller board and three SCSI hard drives, so that he can configure a RAIN array, and an additional 2 GB of RAM. He also ordered two Y adapters for the power supply connectors. He asks for your advice about any additional hardware he should order. What do you tell him?
on the second one(#4) you might consider the fact that your probably getting close if not over the limit on the PSU (known any P4 systems that came/w premium PSU's ?) so don't forget to reevaluate the minimum system requirements for PSU.
#3 oftentimes the voltage listings are right on the PSU...so are those readings the same as what's listed..?
