A+ 220-1101 CompTIA Study Notes

Optical fiber is the type of cable that should be used to terminate ST connectors on each end. ST connectors are commonly used for fiber optic cables, which transmit data using light pulses. Coaxial, shielded twisted pair, and HDMI are not types of cables that use ST connectors, but different types of connectors and transmission methods. 

To resolve the issue of new memory modules not being recognized, the systems administrator should configure appropriate settings within the BIOS. This can include enabling memory mapping or setting memory speed and timings. References: CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Objectives, 220-1001 Section 1.8

Configure appropriate settings within the BIOS. If new memory modules were installed in several Windows desktops but some users are still reporting performance issues and the desktop has not recognized the new memory modules, the systems administrator should configure appropriate settings within the BIOS to help resolve this issue.

This is because HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital video cable that can also carry audio signals1. HDMI cables are commonly used to connect devices like Blu-ray players, game consoles, and streaming boxes to HDTVs and monitors. The other options are not capable of carrying audio signals. VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog video cable that only carries RGBHV signals12. S-Video (Super Video) is another analog video cable that carries separate luminance and chrominance signals1. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a digital video cable that can carry either analog or digital signals, but not audio1.

The frequency bands that 802.11b and 802.11g operate in are 2.4GHz bands, which allow for longer range but lower speed than higher frequency bands such as 5GHz or 6GHz bands used by newer standards such as 802.11a/n/ac/ax.
