    (020) Which of these is not an occurrence during a system cold boot?

    • The power supply fan turns on.

    • An audible beep should be heard.

    • The hard disk test is visible on the monitor.

    • The hard disk drive access light should come on.

    Correct Answer
    A. The hard disk test is visible on the monitor.
    Explanation
    During a system cold boot, the power supply fan turns on to provide cooling for the system. An audible beep should be heard to indicate that the system has successfully completed the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and is ready for operation. The hard disk drive access light should come on to indicate that the system is accessing the hard disk. However, the hard disk test is not visible on the monitor during a cold boot. This test is typically performed by the system's BIOS during the POST process, but the results are not displayed on the monitor.

    (027) What is the preferred method for clearing magnetic tapes and is the only approved method for sanitizing?

    • Erasing.

    • Wiping.

    • Overwriting.

    • Degaussing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Degaussing.
    Explanation
    Degaussing is the preferred method for clearing magnetic tapes and is the only approved method for sanitizing. Degaussing involves using a degausser, which generates a strong magnetic field to completely erase the data stored on the magnetic tape. This method ensures that the data cannot be recovered or accessed by unauthorized individuals. Erasing, wiping, and overwriting are not as effective as degaussing in completely sanitizing magnetic tapes.

    (006) This type of memory is blank and instructions can be placed on it permanently.

    • Read-only memory (ROM).

    • Random access memory (RAM).

    • Programmable read-only memory (PROM).

    • Complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS).

    Correct Answer
    A. Programmable read-only memory (PROM).
    Explanation
    PROM is a type of memory that allows instructions to be permanently placed on it. Unlike RAM, which can be read from and written to, PROM is non-volatile, meaning its contents are not erased when power is turned off. This makes PROM a suitable choice for storing permanent instructions that should not be changed or modified. ROM and CMOS are not the correct answers because ROM is not programmable and CMOS is not specifically designed for storing instructions.
