00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:09,510
- Welcome to Module 3: Hardware.

2
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,300
This module is all about
the internal components

3
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:13,950
that make up a PC

4
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:17,310
and the external devices
that a PC utilizes

5
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:21,510
including monitors, printers,
keyboards, and mice.

6
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:25,680
We start with cable types
and connectors for the PC

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,080
and for networking connections.

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,330
We'll also cover the core of the computer,

9
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:33,090
the motherboard, CPU, and RAM,

10
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:36,030
which make up the brains of the outfit.

11
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:38,760
Storage drives play a
big part in computers,

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,980
so we'll cover those in depth.

13
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:43,590
We follow that up with power supplies.

14
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:47,730
And after that, we'll discuss
SOHO multifunction devices,

15
00:00:47,730 --> 00:00:49,263
focusing in on printers.

16
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:54,150
Note, within the appendices
of this video course,

17
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:57,780
you'll find two step-by-step
computer builds.

18
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:00,180
I call the first system AV Editor

19
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:03,060
because I use it to
build, edit, and render

20
00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:05,190
audio and video files.

21
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,990
As of the recording of these videos,

22
00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:09,840
it's still my main workstation.

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,820
The second build is a virtualization
server called VM House.

24
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:17,700
By showing you the
hands-on side of things,

25
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:21,123
I hope to strengthen your
knowledge of computer theory.

26
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:25,650
This A+ domain makes up 25% of the exam,

27
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:28,230
making it the second largest domain

28
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:32,550
of the Core 1 220-1101 exam.

29
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:35,910
So there's a ton of
content in this module.

30
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:40,233
Take it slow and let the
information sink in. Let's go.
