This exam will test your knowledge on the first part of the Dell fast track program on power edge servers
Rack systems ensure proper closure of your servers and rail systems provide easy access to the server components without having to remove the servers.
Rack and Rail systems lock the server in the rack so that you can not remove it
Racks keep the servers in place so that the rails can slide in and out of the rack
Racvk and rails systems do not work together in a server environment
SCSI and SAS
SATA only
9th generation servers only have external hard drives
SATA and SAS
The PSPB does not distribute the power load of a server
The PSPB distributes the power load of the server across multiple power supplies
The PSPB helps maintain the power of the server
The PSPB is not a component of the server
In place of a NIC card
As a back up to the NIC card
As a way to trunk NIC cards
To reduce excessive traffic on internal buses

Leaverages the SCSI command set an parts of the fibre channel frame
Supports multiple drives on a single channel
Shares the throughput bandwidth of the channel connection
Server must support hot‐plug PCI
Operating system must support hot‐plug PCI
PCI adapter must support hot‐plug PCI
Fibre Channel HBAs and network adapters support hot‐plug PCI
Dell RAID and SCSI controllers do not support hot‐plug PCI
Green: Expansion slot power is on. No action is required
Amber blinking slow: Hot‐plugged expansion card is a slower operating speed than other cards on the same PCI bus.
Amber blinks twice and pauses, and then repeats the sequence: Expansion card is faulty or improperly installed and causing a problem with power supply to the card.Hot‐plugged expansion card is a slower operating speed than other cards on the same PCI bus.
Off: Expansion slot power is off. No action is required.
