Question 2

A datacenter has exceeded the load on the central uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the room and is causing power load problems. Additional power is available, but not using the central UPS. Which of the following is the BEST temporary solution for adding new servers until an upgrade of the central UPS can occur?
A) Continue plugging into the central UPS, but put the UPS on bypass to avoid load problems.
B) Plug the servers directly into the power that is not on the UPS.
C) Add stand alone UPSs for new servers not wired off the central UPS.
D) Continue plugging into the central UPS because the actual load supported is actually higher than stated.

Accepted Answer

Adding standalone UPSs for new servers not wired off the central UPS provides temporary backup power and avoids overloading the central UPS.

Question 3

When disposing of computer equipment, which of the following can present an environmental hazard?

A) RAID 0
B) RAID 5
C) RAID 6
D) RAID 10

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following RAID levels provides...

Question 7

After a virus outbreak, which of the following can be used to deploy a hotfix in a Microsoft environment? (Select TWO).
A) WSUS
B) Terminal services
C) Remote management cards
D) Group policy
E) SNMP

Accepted Answer

WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) is used to manage the distribution of updates and hotfixes released for Microsoft products. Group Policy can be used to deploy software and updates across multiple computers in a network, making it suitable for deploying hotfixes.

Question 8

Which of the following BEST describes RAID 1?
A) Mirroring
B) Striping
C) Striping with parity
D) Striping with mirroring

Accepted Answer

RAID 1 is known as mirroring, where data is duplicated across two or more disks to ensure redundancy and fault tolerance.

Question 9

A technician notices inlet temperatures to rack-mounted servers are significantly higher in the center of the rack as compared to the top and bottom of the rack. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason?
A) Lack of front-mounted blanking panels
B) Too much humidity in the room
C) Room temperature set too high
D) Air conditioning units sized incorrectly

Accepted Answer

Blanking panels are used to prevent hot air recirculation within the rack. Without them, hot air can accumulate in the center, causing higher inlet temperatures.

Question 10

Which of the following BEST describes a server where several physical server chassis are housed within an enclosure to share some redundant resources?
A) Tower server
B) Rack mount server
C) Blade server
D) Bare metal server

Accepted Answer

A blade server is designed to house multiple server blades within a single chassis, sharing resources like power and cooling, making it efficient and space-saving.

Question 11

Which of the following is BEST described as a storage system that can be connected to multiple servers through a fiber channel?
A) JBOD
B) SAN
C) DAS
D) NAS

Accepted Answer

A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a high-speed network of storage devices that connects to multiple servers, typically using fiber channel technology.

Question 12

Which of the following assists with airflow in a server? (Select TWO).
A) Riser cards
B) Water cooling
C) Shroud
D) Baffle
E) Heat sinks

Accepted Answer

Shrouds and baffles are components used to direct and manage airflow within a server to ensure efficient cooling.

Question 13

Which of the following BEST describes RAID 0?
A) Striping with parity
B) Striping with mirroring
C) Mirroring
D) Striping

Accepted Answer

RAID 0 is a configuration that uses disk striping, which spreads data across multiple disks to improve performance but does not provide redundancy or fault tolerance.

Question 14

Which of the following BEST describes a benefit of RAID 0?
A) High fault tolerance
B) Ease of failure recovery
C) High performance
D) No configuration

Accepted Answer

RAID 0 provides high performance by striping data across multiple disks, which increases read and write speeds. However, it does not offer fault tolerance or ease of recovery.

Question 15

Which of the following is designed to guarantee that once data is written it cannot be modified? (Select TWO).
A) Flash
B) DLT4 tapes
C) CD-R
D) SDLT tapes
E) WORM

Accepted Answer

CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) and WORM (Write Once Read Many) are both designed to ensure that data, once written, cannot be modified.

Question 16

Which of the following is a storage system that can be connected to multiple servers through an iSCSI connection?
A) JBOD
B) DAS
C) NAS
D) SAN

Accepted Answer

A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a storage system that can be connected to multiple servers through an iSCSI connection, allowing for block-level storage access over a network.

Question 17

Which of the following BEST describes RAID 10?
A) Mirroring with striping
B) Mirroring with fault tolerance
C) Striping
D) Striping with distributed parity

Accepted Answer

RAID 10 combines mirroring and striping, providing both redundancy and performance by mirroring data across pairs of drives and then striping across those mirrored pairs.

Question 18

A company has had problems with their HVAC system being able to cool their datacenter as they have grown. Which of the following could BEST be used to help reduce the load on the HVAC system?
A) Replacing the CAT5 cables with CAT6 cables
B) Replacing traditional racks with water cooled racks
C) Turning off non-critical application servers during non-business hours
D) Taking the second power supplies out of non-critical servers

Accepted Answer

Water cooled racks can significantly reduce the heat generated by servers, thus reducing the load on the HVAC system.

Question 19

Which of the following memory technologies has the HIGHEST cost to implement?
A) ECC
B) RAID
C) Pairing
D) Registered

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following memory technologies has...

Question 20

Which of the following BEST describes the difference between RAID 5 and RAID 6?
A) RAID 5 uses a dedicated parity drive and RAID 6 does not.
B) RAID 6 uses a dedicated parity drive and RAID 5 does not.
C) RAID 6 uses more parity drives than RAID 5.
D) RAID 5 uses more parity drives than RAID 6.

Accepted Answer

RAID 6 uses two parity blocks, allowing it to withstand the failure of two drives, whereas RAID 5 uses only one parity block, allowing it to withstand the failure of only one drive.
