| Which interface supports Plug-and-Play and hot swapping, adding and removing devices without rebooting, also known as hot plugging? | USB |
| To install a USB device, you should typically install what before attaching the device? | Software driver |
| What is the name of the interface when you plug in the device, it will be automatically detected and configured? | USB |
| What should you edit to disable onboard USB ports or configure the USB mode for either version 1.1 or 2.0? | BIOS settings |
| What is the name of the interface, that when all devices connected together share computer resources?(IRQs, I/O addresses) | USB |
| What type of interface is firewire? | Serial |
| What type of interface has common devices that include digital video cameras and recorders, hard drives, and network adapters? | Firewire |
| Which type of interface has ports on video cameras that are typically used for transferring digital video? | Firewire |
| Like USB, which interface also supports Plug-and-Play and hot-swapping? | Firewire |
| Which type of interface transmit data one bit at a time on a single cable? | Serial |

| True or false, COM ports 1 and 3, and ports 2 and 4 are shared? | True |
| True or false, if you install a serial device on both COM 1 and COM 3, the devices might cause a resource sharing problem? | True |
| What is the most common serial device? | Modem |
| True or false, some specialized printers might also use a serial interface? | True |
| Many newer computers no longer include a serial port. To add serial ports to a computer, what should you install? | Adapter card |
| What type of devices transmit multiple bits at a time over multiple wires? | Parallel |
| What type of devices use LPT ports for resources? | Parallel |
| What type of interface has common devices that include printers and scanners? | Parallel |
| What does the acronym SPP mean? | Standard Parallel Port |
| What does the acronym EPP mean? | Enhanced Parallel Port |
| What does the acronym ECP mean? | Extended Capabilities Port |
| Which communication interface uses one of the following standards? (or modes): SPP, EPP, or ECP? | Parallel |
| Both EPP and ECP support which type of communication? | Bi-directional |
| Which communication standard supports DMA? | ECP |
| Which settings should you edit to configure the parallel modes supported? | CMOS |

| What is a term for expansion slots in laptop and portable devices? | PC Card(PCMCIA) |
| Which type of expansion slots in laptop and portable devices, can be used by devices like modems, network cards for wired or wireless networks, CD-ROMs, sound cards, SCSI host adapters, IEEE 1394 controllers, USB controllers, and others? | PC Card(PCMCIA) |
| What is another name for PCI express in laptop and portable devices? | Express card |
| Which interface is replacing PC Card for laptop expansion devices? | ExpressCard |
| Which type of interface has slots that connect directly to the PCIe or USB bus? | ExpressCard |
| How is it possible that cards use either PCI Express or USB 2.0 standards? | The slot supports both |
| Which type of interface can even be used for a graphics card to attach an external monitor? | ExpressCard |
| Which interface can be used for all types of devices, similar to PCMCIA? | ExpressCard |
| Many newer laptops have which type of slots but not PCMCIA slots? | ExpressCard |
| Some laptops have both, ExpressCard and PCMCIA, while some have neither, assuming that all external devices will connect through which type of interface? | USB |
| True or false, when troubleshooting input devices Make sure the device is plugged in securely? | True |
| True or false, for PS/2 keyboards and mice, make sure they are using the correct port? | True |
| Having the mouse and keyboard switched can result in which error during boot? | Keyboard not found |
| True or false, to prevent input device problems, clean the mouse roller ball and the keyboard periodically? | True |
| True or false, for stuck or malfunctioning keyboard keys, you might be able to pop the key off and clean the contact underneath. However, replacing the keyboard might be cheaper than spending a lot of time cleaning it? | True |
| True or false, make sure that nothing is on the keyboard as the system boots? | True |
| If a key is pressed during the bootup process, which error can result? | 301 (keyboard) error |
| True or false, if a 301 error happens, you will more than likely have to reboot? | True |
| True or false, for problems with wireless devices, change the batteries if necessary? | True |
| What should you do if advanced features are not available for the device? | Update or install the correct device driver |
| True or false, when troubleshooting USB, or firewire devices you should install the driver before plugging in the device? | True |
| True or false, overloading the power resources of the USB bus can cause devices to not have sufficient power to work properly? | True |
| True or false, make sure that you are not exceeding 500 MA of power through the USB bus? | True |
| True or false, different versions of USB devices have different capabilities. There are two main versions of USB devices: 1.1 and 2.0. Most 2.0 controllers are backwards-compatible with 1.1 devices, but 1.1 controllers rarely work with 2.0 devices? | True |
