VI. Put the verbs in brackets in the required tense forms and translate the sentences into Ukrainian.

1. With the BAT design the processor socket (to be located) at the front of the motherboard, and full-length expansion cards (to be intended) to extend over it. 2. This means that removing the processor (to require) the removal of some or all expansion cards first. 3. Problems (to be exacerbated) by the increasing speeds of Pentium-class processors. 4. System cooling (to rely) on the AT power supply blowing air out of the chassis enclosure and, due to the distance between the power supply and the CPU, an additional chassis fan or active heat sink became a necessity to maintain good airflow across the CPU. 5. AT power (to supply) only provide 12V and 5V outputs to the motherboard, requiring additional regulators on the motherboard if 3.3V components (PCI cards or CPUs) (to be used). 6. Sometimes a second heat sink (to be required) on these voltage regulators and together the various additional heat dissipation components caused serious obstruction for expansion slots. 7. Some BAT designs (to allow) the use of either AT or ATX power supplies, and some ATX cases might allow the use of a Baby-AT motherboard.

VII. Fill in the blanks with suitable words in the correct form: are located, is, to remove, within, costs.

1. The LPX format … a specialised variant of the Baby-AT used in low profile desktop systems and is a loose specification with a variety of proprietary implementations. 2. Expansion slots … on a central riser card, allowing cards to be mounted horizontally. 3. However, this arrangement can make it difficult … the motherboard, and the more complex engineering required adds to system … 4. As the riser card prevents good airflow … the system case, additional chassis fans are almost always needed.

IX. Put questions to which the following sentences would be the answers.

1. Introduced in the late 1990s, the MicroATX is basically a smaller version of Intel's ATX specification, intended for compact, low-cost consumer systems with limited expansion potential. 2. The maximum size of the board is 9.6in square. 3. It is designed to fit into either a standard ATX case or one of the new micro-tower desktop designs. 4. The double-decker I/O shield is the same as that on the ATX design. 4. There's only provision for up to four expansion slots as opposed to the seven that ATX allows. 5. The microATX also allows use of a smaller power supply. 6. The SFX design is reduced in both size and power output.
