The Ultimate Trivia Quiz On CompTIA Server+ Test!

Disk mirroring/ Duplexing can be managed with just 2 drives of similar capacity

If a SCSI device has improper or no termination, it may not function at all

To test the connectivity of a RAS server you require a serial cable called the null modem cable. This cable provides a hardware loop back to the serial port to help test its transmission and reception capability.

It is mandatory to perform backup before doing any upgrade task on a server

Management information base (MIB) files contain SNMP agent information. There is no need for any other document to contain this information

Cable testers of higher range can graphically trace a cable. OHM meter will help with resistance verification to test if the cable has an open path. An oscilloscope is a lab device that can help to check signal strength. SNMP monitor is not a device

As the question states, the installation of the NOS was performed from a CD ROM, which requires that the CD ROM drive the boot device. After the installation is complete, you would be required to change the boot sequence to indicate the system partition to be the first choice for seeking the required system files.

The ISA bus is 16-bit bus where as the EISA is 32-bit bus

Backup is meant for offline data

NIC are meant to connect any type of system on to the network

By using the IPCONFIG utility with the relevant switches on servers that are generating the conflict; you can ascertain the IP related information of both the servers.

Although, choice A is relevant it is too advanced for an average system administrator to handle. Using stat-of-art devices will not help unless the relevant alerts are set in relevant places. Configuration files are incapable of generating alerts. Enabling remote notification of any device failure on the server would be an ideal choice. In this case you may specifically set it for the RAID storage device

Bus mastering is a process where a Bus controller can gain control of the peripherals directly for that specific transaction or operation, it cannot rule out the requirement for a CPU.

There are specific devices that come with drivers specific to certain NOS. Such devices could be installed on a Windows server, in spite of what the HCL states by default

Ultra2 SCSI controller with an Ultra ATA 100 drive will need the use of a converter between the two

Excess heat and dust could hamper the server performance adversely

Adequate grounding can help to eliminate Electro Static Discharge

When a server configuration machine gets heated UP the CPU will shut down if the CPU fan is not operational or if the air condition is not functioning

When housing this equipment on a rack, the UPS will be the bottom most, above which comes the server and above all will be the peripherals.

Any server that needs to be connected to an intelligent UPS system, so as to monitor it and generate alerts will require Advanced Power Management capability

The BIOS ROM houses the POST routine

External modems can be placed on a desktop where status lights are readily visible, which makes it easier to troubleshoot

Every power backup system will have a backup capacity, which when exceeded will lead to a crash. In this case the UPS was overloaded when you connected the printer to the UPS

Intel's Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a local bus standard. It is capable of taking advantage of the Pentium's 64-bit data-bus

10% utilization is a very low threshold level for servers to generate alerts. There is no need for any analysis at this level, as there is nothing wrong. You may just increase the threshold level and leave it at that

Limiting devices in the system is not at all a solution on sever configuration systems. You can use the firmware interface to manually reserve the resource for the required device.

By default there is a memory test every time the PC boots. The test can be skipped, though not recommended

Over-clocking or doubling is a method of forcing the processor to operate at a speed higher than the manufacturer rates it for

Correct termination of the SCSI device is mandatory for it to be recognized and be functional.

The only way you can be sure of how the backup will perform is when the crash actually happens. As a preventive maintenance task, you may set up a schedule to check for these failures at regular intervals

Monday is fill backup + Tuesday is a differential backup, is all you need to restore since you still haven't backed up the Wednesday's data.

Fast Wide SCSI supports 20 MBPS, 16-bit bus, Wide Ultra SCSI supports 40 MBPS and 16-bit bus, Ultra 320 supports 320 MBPS and 16-bit bus. Wide Ultra2 SCSI supports 40 MBPS and 16-bit bus.

When moving a folder, it is moved along with its attributes and permissions.

Chkds/f commands helps to rewrite the MBR signature on a disk, if used wrongly, this can also crash the disk.
Chkdsk will only display the disk information. Scandisk will scan for file cross linkages. Scanreg is used to scan registry.

A network-attached printer is a printer connected directly to the network media. This is achieved by a special NIC that is in built to the printer

Since the server is placed near power equipments, the cabling may be suffering a severe EMI which is resulting in disruption of the servers operation. By upgrading the technology to fiber optic, the problem of EMI will be totally overcome

The server being powered on before all of the external storage enclosures is the most likely cause of the problem. This is because the users are able to access the public storage, indicating that the server is functioning properly. However, since they are unable to access their private storage, it suggests that the server may not have properly recognized or connected to the external storage enclosures. Powering on the server before all of the enclosures were connected could have caused this issue.

The server replacement is totally irrelevant. The tape drive is usually connected to the same drive controller as the hard disk. Since the hard disk does not have any problem. It is unnecessary to replace either the drive or the controller. Having the tapes replaced should solve the problem

Monday is fill backup + Tuesday is the differential backup, is all you need to restore since you still haven't backed up the Wednesdays data

If you intend to upgrade the agents version on the network, you will be required to upgrade each and every servers agents version. It will not be required for you to reconfigure SNMP

The POST can generate errors either if memory modules are faulty or if they were not correctly seated. In either case, It is because the routine is unable to test for the memory availability. It is not possible that memory is insufficient as you have just upgraded an already existent and sufficient memory. It is not possible that the beeps are not error codes as the POST routine has hung in mid process

Disk mirroring and disk duplexing will help retain the data of the last transaction when the server crashes, but cannot help with maintaining total network availability. It will require some downtime for the server to be brought up again. Server mirroring will help by keeping the users transparent to server crash by taking over the authentication process automatically.

A ClassID is used to identify a DHCP client with a particular class option. There is no such
thing as OptionID. There is no such thing as DHCPID. There is no such thing as CompID

In case of an emergency, for ex: if you were installing this additional NIC for network fault tolerance, then you would have to replace one of the lesser significant devices that could be conflicting. The ideal choice here would be the Sound card. The USB cannot cause conflict with NIC. The Internal modem would be required. The original NIC is as important as the add-on requested

The said system would have to be running a NOS as it needs to be robust enough o handle the network load and security. It would require adequate storage space as it will need the spool service and the print queue to be managed efficiently. The OS choice is not relevant here

Restoring data to a new hard disk and replacing the hard disk would be the most practical thing to do in the situation. Trying to recover a hard disk and increasing the down time is not very wise.

Windows 98 looks for a file named Config.pol while Windows NT looks for a file named
Ntconfig.pol. Users who work on both Windows NT and Windows 98 must be included in both policy files,
not just one or the other.

When assigning static IP addresses, it is important to be careful about assigning the correct subnet mask as well, otherwise the server will not be able to communicate with any other resource on the network. Default gateway helps to communicate with resources outside the network, not within the network.

Windows 2000 based servers will be assigned an Automatic Programmed IP Address (APIPA) from the OS, whenever they are configured to be DHCP clients and are not able to reach the DHCP server.

To troubleshoot any DNS related problem the command that needs to be used is the nslookup command. Ping checks for connectivity, trace looks for path and hostname verifies the hostname of the host.
