ISC SSCP Certifications Exam SSCP

You’ve purchased a SY0-101 computer and over time you have discovered that its capabilities have now become limited. The computer’s original motherboard may already have many “built-in” audio, video and network cards, but these just don’t do the job any more. You either wish to add a new feature or ability to your computer or extend its functionality; therefore one solution might be to add one or more expansion cards.

As noted and as the name implies, “expansion” cards provide a means of “expanding” or increasing your computer’s CISSP capabilities or functionalities. Essentially you are adding some hardware that performs tasks, provides more memory or controls additional peripheral devices. However, one must be cognizant of the possibility that one’s computer may not have the appropriate “architecture” that would enable expandability options (Williams & Sawyer, p. 217)1.

Expansion cards are also known as an ‘internal card, interface adapter, interface cards, expansion board, SSCP adapters, adapter cards, add-ins or add-ons” or simply “cards” (Williams, B.K. & S. C. Sawyer, 2007, Using Information Technology: A Practical Introduction to Computers and Communications, 7th ed., Montreal: McGraw-Hill Irwin, p. 217;
