Zorluk: OrtaCPU Architecture Cooling and Sockets

A systems administrator is configuring a server motherboard that utilizes an LGA (Land Grid Array) socket architecture. While inspecting the CPU socket prior to seating the processor, the administrator discovers several bent contact pins inside the socket housing. Which hardware component has sustained physical damage and must be repaired or replaced?

  1. The motherboardCevap
  2. B
    The central processing unit (CPU)
  3. C
    The system memory modules
  4. D
    The power supply unit

Cevap

The motherboard has sustained physical damage because Land Grid Array (LGA) sockets house the contact pins on the motherboard socket itself rather than on the CPU package.
In a Land Grid Array (LGA) CPU socket design, the grid of delicate contact pins is located directly within the motherboard socket assembly, while the underside of the CPU package contains flat surface pads (lands). Therefore, bent pins found inside an LGA socket represent physical damage to the motherboard.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the socket architecture type mentioned in the scenario
The scenario specifies an LGA (Land Grid Array) socket.
Different CPU socket architectures locate contact pins on different physical components.
2
Differentiate pin location between LGA and PGA designs
LGA sockets position contact pins inside the motherboard socket, whereas PGA processors feature pins directly on the CPU package.
Understanding pin location determines which component is damaged when socket pins are bent.
3
Determine the component requiring repair or replacement
Because the bent pins are inside the LGA socket, the motherboard itself is damaged.
Replacing or repairing the motherboard addresses LGA socket pin damage.
