   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   When replacing RAM on an entry-level server with hot-swappable components, the technician should do the following NEXT: C. Power down the server completely and then replace the RAM. Explanation: Hot-swappable components allow for replacement without shutting down the entire system. However, for certain critical components like RAM, it is still recommended to power down the server completely before making changes. While hot-swapping RAM is technically feasible in some environments, it is generally a best practice to avoid potential issues and ensure a clean and controlled replacement by powering down the server.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   IF you look at step one, the cables are color coordinated, so in step 2, you get that colored cable and connect it to what has to be connected. An example is that the RJ11 cable (the white cable) is used for phone connection, so you connect it on the phone and the phone jack on the router. SO the white cable goes on those two.

   A laptop has been returned for a screen repair. The owner insists the screen is broken, but occasionally a faded image is able to be seen in very bright settings on the desktop. Which of the following steps should the repair technician take FIRST?

   • AReplace the graphics card.
   • BReplace the screen, as the customer insists.
   • CRecommend the usage of an external display instead.
   • DEnsure the backlight is functioning as expected.

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Ensure the backlight is functioning as expected. The technician should first check the backlight, as the fact that a faded image can be seen in bright settings suggests that the issue may be with the backlight and not the screen itself. If the backlight is not functioning as expected, the technician can then proceed with repairing or replacing it. If the backlight is functioning correctly, then the technician can move on to other possible causes of the issue.

   A systems administrator needs to set up a multifunction printer for the legal department. The legal department deals with sensitive documents and requires a secure method of releasing print jobs. Which of the following should the systems administrator configure to meet the department's security requirements?

   • ASMB settings
   • BUser authentication
   • CAudit logging
   • DWired connection

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   This option requires the user to enter a PIN code or swipe a smart card before the printer releases their print job. This way, the user can verify their identity and ensure that no one else can access their sensitive documents. The other options are not as secure or effective as user authentication. SMB settings are used to share files and printers over a network, but they do not provide a secure method of releasing print jobs. Audit logging records the details of each print job, but it does not prevent unauthorized access to the printed documents. Wired connection reduces the risk of wireless interference or hacking, but it does not guarantee that the print jobs are only retrieved by the intended recipient

6. Question 226 · 624 in bank

   A network technician is working to locate an end user's Cat 6 cable within a network rack. The server rack is poorly documented, and a cable management system has not been implemented. Which of the following would be the BEST tool to BEST identify the correct cable?

   • ACable tester
   • BNetwork tap
   • CToner probe
   • DLoopback plug

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   The technician connects the tone generator to the Cat 6 cable at one end. The tone generator sends a signal or tone through the cable. The technician then uses the probe to scan the network rack and listen for the tone. When the probe is near the cable carrying the tone, it emits an audible sound, helping the technician identify the correct cable among the mess of cables in the rack.
