B. 5
C. 10
Answer: D
Explanation:
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, which is a technology that combines multiple disks into a logical unit to improve performance, reliability,
or both. There are different types of RAID levels that use different methods of data distribution and redundancy.
RAID 0 is a level that stripes data across multiple disks without any redundancy. It offers the highest performance but no fault tolerance. If any disk fails, the entire
array is lost. RAID 1 is a level that mirrors data across two disks. It offers the lowest performance but the highest fault tolerance. It can survive the failure of one
disk.
RAID 5 is a level that stripes data across multiple disks with parity information. It offers a balance between performance and fault tolerance. It can survive the
failure of one disk, but not two or more disks.
RAID 10 is a level that combines RAID 1 and RAID 0. It creates a striped array of mirrored pairs. It offers high performance and high fault tolerance. It can survive
the failure of one disk in each pair, or multiple disks in different pairs.
Therefore, if the server administrator wants to rebuild the array to withstand a potential multidrive failure in the future, RAID 10 is the most likely choice.

E. Printer share
Answer: B
Explanation:
Server message block (SMB) is the setting on the multifunction printer (MFP) that the technician should edit to best address the user’s request of making the
scans viewable on the network for the entire department. SMB is a network protocol that allows file sharing and printer access among different devices on a
network. The technician can configure the MFP to scan to a shared folder on the network using SMB. Scan to email is a feature that allows the MFP to send
scanned documents as email attachments, which may not be viewable by everyone in the department. Secured prints is a feature that allows the MFP to print
documents only after entering a PIN or password, which does not address the user’s request. Web services is a feature that allows the MFP to access online
services such as cloud storage or email, which may not be viewable by everyone in the department either. Printer share is not a setting on the MFP, but a feature
that allows a device to share its printer with other devices on a network

A. The phone
B. The charger
C. The battery
D. The SD card
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. The battery.
The battery is the component that stores and provides electrical power to the phone. The battery can degrade over time and lose its capacity to hold a full charge.
This can cause the phone to stop charging at a certain percentage and run out of power faster. To resolve this issue, the battery should be replaced with a new
one that is compatible with the phone model and manufacturer.
To replace the battery, the customer may need to follow different steps depending on the type of phone and battery. Some phones have removable batteries that
can be easily accessed by opening the back cover of the phone and sliding out the old battery. Other phones have non-removable batteries that are sealed inside

A. Private
B. Public
C. Hybrid
D. Community
Answer: C
Explanation:
A hybrid cloud model would best address the company’s needs of saving money by leveraging the cloud while still being able to customize the infrastructure. A
hybrid cloud model is a combination of public and private cloud services, connected by a secure network. A public cloud service is a cloud service that is offered by
a third-party provider over the Internet, and is shared by multiple customers. A private cloud service is a cloud service that is dedicated to a single customer, and is
hosted either on-premises or by a third-party provider. A hybrid cloud model allows the company to use the public cloud for cost-effective and scalable services,
such as storage, backup, or analytics, and use the private cloud for more sensitive or customized services, such as security, compliance, or performance. A hybrid
cloud model also enables the company to move workloads between the public and private cloud as needed, depending on the demand, availability, or cost. A
hybrid cloud model can provide the company with the best of both worlds: the flexibility and efficiency of the cloud, and the control and customization of the
infrastructure.

Answer: A
Explanation:
A burning smell on a desktop computer is a serious issue that indicates a hardware malfunction or failure. It can be caused by overheating, a faulty power supply,
a malfunctioning motherboard, or a short circuit12. If left unchecked, it can damage the components, cause a fire, or harm the user.
The first thing the technician should do when troubleshooting a burning smell on a desktop computer is to unplug the computer from the power source. This will
stop the flow of electricity and prevent further damage or fire. The technician should also wear protective gloves and eye wear to avoid contact with any hot or
hazardous parts.
The other options are less likely to be the first step in troubleshooting, because:
•Locating a fire extinguisher is a good precaution, but it should not be done before unplugging the computer. The fire extinguisher should only be used if there is
visible smoke or flames coming from the computer, and only after unplugging it and ensuring that it is safe to do so.
•Calling the fire department is an extreme measure that should only be done if there is an actual fire that cannot be controlled by the fire extinguisher. It should not
be done before unplugging the computer and trying to identify and fix the problem.
•Removing the desktop cover is a necessary step to inspect the internal components and find the source of the burning smell. However, it should not be done
before unplugging the computer, as it can expose the technician to live wires and electric shocks.

A. DHCP
B. Ipv6
C. DNS
D. Ipv4
Answer: A
Explanation:
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which is a protocol that provides quick, automatic, and central management for the distribution of IP
addresses within a network1. A DHCP server can assign IP addresses and other network information to devices that request them, such as computers,
smartphones, and routers2.
The IP address 169.254.2.2 is an example of an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address, which is a special type of IP address that devices use when
they cannot obtain a valid IP address from a DHCP server3. APIPA addresses are in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.03. Devices that use APIPA addresses can only communicate with other devices on the same local network that also use APIPA addresses3.
The router in the question is assigned the address scope of 192.168.1.254/24, which means it has an IP address of 192.168.1.254 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.04. This address scope belongs to the private IP address range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, which is commonly used for local networks4.
Devices that use private IP addresses can communicate with other devices on the same local network or across different networks through NAT (Network Address
Translation)4.
The most likely cause of the technician receiving the IP address 169.254.2.2 is that the DHCP server on the router is not working properly or is not configured
correctly3. This could be due to various reasons, such as a misconfigured router, a faulty cable, a firewall blocking DHCP traffic, or an exhausted pool of IP
addresses3. As a result, the technician’s device cannot obtain a valid IP address from the DHCP server and resorts to using an APIPA address instead3.
To fix this issue, the technician should check the router settings and make sure that the DHCP server is enabled and has enough available IP addresses to assign
to devices2. The technician should also check the physical cabling and make sure it is properly connected
and secured2. If the issue persists, the technician should try rebooting the router or resetting it to factory defaults2. Alternatively, the technician could manually
assign a static IP address to the device that matches the router’s address scope, such as 192.168.1.x/242.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The most likely cause of the failure is A. Thermal paste was not used.
Thermal paste, also known as thermal grease or thermal compound, is a substance that is applied between the CPU and the heat sink to improve the heat transfer
and cooling of the CPU. Thermal paste fills the gaps and irregularities between the CPU and the heat sink, creating a better contact and reducing the thermal
resistance .
According to some web search results , some signs and symptoms of not using thermal paste or using it incorrectly are:
•The CPU overheats and slows down or shuts down to prevent damage
•The CPU fan spins faster and louder to try to cool down the CPU
•The PC performance drops or becomes unstable
•The PC crashes or displays errors or blue screens
To fix this issue, the technician should apply thermal paste properly between the CPU and the heat sink, following these steps :
•Turn off the PC and unplug it from the power source
•Open the PC case and locate the CPU fan and heat sink
•Remove the CPU fan and heat sink from the motherboard
•Clean the surfaces of the CPU and heat sink with a lint-free cloth and alcohol
•Apply a small amount of thermal paste (about the size of a grain of rice) in the center of the CPU
•Reattach the heat sink and CPU fan to the motherboard, making sure they are aligned and secured
•Close the PC case and plug it back to the power source
The GPU needs additional power, the memory is insufficient, or the motherboard is
incompatible are not likely causes of the failure, since they would not cause the PC to overheat and shut down after a few minutes. The GPU needs additional
power if it has a high power consumption that exceeds the capacity of the power supply or the PCIe slot. The memory is insufficient if it cannot handle the
applications or tasks that are running on the PC. The motherboard is incompatible if it does not support the CPU, RAM, or other components that are installed on
it. These issues may cause poor performance, errors, or crashes, but not overheating and shutting down.
A. DNS
B. AAA
C. Mail server
D. Syslog
Answer: B
Explanation:
AAA stands for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting, and it is a framework that provides security services for network access control. Authentication
verifies the identity of a user or device that requests access to a network resource. Authorization determines what level of access or privileges are granted to a
user or device based on their identity or role. Accounting tracks and records the usage of network resources by users or devices for billing or auditing purposes.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a protocol that implements AAA functions by communicating with a central server that stores user
credentials and policies.
Which of the following is the most likely reason for the error?
A. DNS
B. Physical address
C. Subnet mask
D. IPv4 address
E. Default gateway
Answer: A
Explanation:
The most likely reason for the error is that the DNS server is not configured correctly. The technician should check the DNS server settings and make sure they
are correct.
DNS, or Domain Name System, is a service that translates domain names, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses, such as 192.168.1.1, that computers
use to communicate with each other. DNS is essential for joining a Windows client to a domain, which is a logical group of computers that share a common
directory and security policy. A domain name, such as example.com, identifies the domain and its members on the network.
To join a Windows client to a domain, the client needs to resolve the hostname of the domain controller, which is the server that manages the domain and its
resources. The client sends a DNS query to the DNS server, asking for the IP address of the domain controller. The DNS server responds with the IP address, and
the client uses it to establish a connection with the domain controller and complete the domain join process.
However, if the DNS server is not configured correctly, the client may not be able to resolve the hostname of the domain controller, and receive the error: An
attempt to resolve the hostname has failed. This can happen if the DNS server is not reachable, not authoritative, or not updated. For example, the DNS server
may have an incorrect IP address, a wrong DNS suffix, a missing or outdated DNS record, or a firewall blocking the DNS traffic.
To fix the error, the technician should verify that the DNS server settings on the client and the domain controller are correct and consistent. The technician can use
the ipconfig /all command to display the DNS server settings, such as the IPv4 address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the DNS suffix. The technician
can also use the nslookup command to test the DNS resolution and the ping command to test the connectivity. The technician should make sure that the client and
the domain controller are using the same DNS server, and that the DNS server can resolve the hostname of the domain controller. References:

A. Magnetic duster
B. ESD-safe vacuum
C. Compressed air
D. Damp cloth
Answer: B
Explanation:
The best way to clean up the toner that spilled into the printer is to use an ESD-safe vacuum. An ESD-safe vacuum is a special type of vacuum that has a filter
that traps toner particles and prevents them from escaping into the air. An ESD-safe vacuum also has a grounding wire that prevents static electricity from building
up and damaging the printer’s components. Toner is electrically conductive and can cause short circuits or sparks if it contacts sensitive parts of the printer.
Therefore, using an ESD-safe vacuum is the safest and most effective method to remove the toner from the printer.
Other methods, such as a magnetic duster, compressed air, or a damp cloth, are not recommended for cleaning up toner spills. A magnetic duster is a device that
uses a magnet to attract toner particles, but it can also damage the printer’s components that rely on magnetism, such as the drum or the fuser. Compressed air
can blow the toner around and create a cloud of dust that can be harmful to breathe or contaminate other parts of the printer. A damp cloth can smear the toner
and make it harder to remove, as well as cause corrosion or rust on the printer’s metal parts.

Answer: A
Explanation:
The first step to recover data from a failing drive is to clone the drive to another one, which means creating an exact copy of the drive’s contents, including the
operating system, applications, files, and settings, to a new drive. Cloning the drive can preserve the data and prevent further damage or data loss from the failing
drive. Cloning the drive can also allow the technician to boot from the new drive and access the data normally, without needing to reinstall the operating system or
the applications12.
The other options are not as effective or relevant as cloning the drive. Accessing the Device Manager may not help with data recovery, as it is a tool that displays
and manages the hardware devices and drivers on a PC. The Device Manager may show the status of the failing drive, but it cannot copy or restore the data from
it3. Downloading the drive manufacturer’s diagnostic tool may help with identifying and repairing some errors or issues with the drive, but it may not be able to
recover the data if the drive is physically damaged or corrupted. The diagnostic tool may also overwrite or erase some data during the repair process, which can
make the data recovery more difficult or impossible4. Uninstalling the drive in the Device Manager may not help with data recovery, as it removes the drive from
the system and its driver from the operating system. Uninstalling the drive may make the drive inaccessible or unrecognized by the PC, which can prevent the data
recovery5. Replacing the drive with a new one may not help with data recovery, as it does not transfer the data from the old drive to the new one. Replacing the
drive may also require reinstalling the operating system and the applications, which can take time and effort. Replacing the drive may also discard the old drive,
which may still contain some recoverable data.

A. Bluetooth
B. Near-field communication
C. Hotspot
D. Roaming
Answer: C
Explanation:
A hotspot is a feature that allows a phone to share its cellular data connection with other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. This can be useful when traveling
on a train, where Wi-Fi networks may not be available or reliable. A hotspot can provide internet access to a laptop or other devices that need to connect to the
web.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate over short distances, usually within 10 meters. It can be used to pair devices such as
headphones, speakers, keyboards, mice, etc. However, it cannot be used to share internet access from a phone to a laptop.
Near-field communication (NFC) is a wireless technology that allows devices to exchange data by touching or bringing them close together, usually within 4 cm. It
can be used for applications such as contactless payments, smart cards, digital tickets, etc. However, it cannot be used to share internet access from a phone to a
laptop.
Roaming is a feature that allows a phone to use another carrier’s network when the home network is not available. This can be useful when traveling abroad,
where the home network may not have coverage or agreements with local operators. However, roaming can incur additional charges and may not provide the
same speed or quality of service as the home network. Roaming does not affect the ability of the phone to share internet access with other devices via hotspot.
A. SMB settings
B. User authentication
C. Audit logging
D. Wired connection
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.
monitor, but the issue persists. The technician notices the user has a printer. USB-C hub, and AC adapter plugged into the laptop. Which of the following should
the technician do to MOST likely resolve the issue?
Answer: C
Explanation:
The most likely cause of the issue is that the user’s USB-C hub is faulty or incompatible with the laptop. The USB-C hub is a device that allows the user to
connect multiple peripherals to the laptop using a single USB-C port. If the hub is not working properly, it may prevent the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and headset
from functioning. The technician should replace the user’s USB-C hub with a new one that is compatible with the laptop and test the peripherals again. Verifying
the AC adapter voltage will not help with the issue, as the AC adapter is used to power the laptop, not the peripherals. Repairing the operating system will not help
either, as the issue is not related to software. Reinstalling the drivers for affected devices may not help, as the issue may be caused by the hub, not the devices.
Making sure the printer is not drawing too much power is irrelevant, as the printer is not connected to the hub or affecting the other peripherals. References:

Answer: D
Explanation:
The answer is D. Perform a full backup.
Before replacing a failed drive in a RAID 5 array, the technician should perform a full backup of the data on the array to ensure that no data is lost during the hot
swapping process. Hot swapping is the process of replacing a drive without shutting down the system or the array, which allows for faster recovery and minimal
downtime. However, hot swapping also involves some risks, such as accidentally removing the wrong drive, damaging the new drive, or encountering another
drive failure during the rebuild process. Therefore, performing a full backup is a precautionary measure that can prevent data loss in case of any unexpected errors
or complications.
The other options are not the first steps that the technician should take before hot swapping the drive. Documenting the replacement date is a good practice, but it
is not as important as backing up the data. Shutting down the array is not necessary for hot swapping, and it may cause more disruption to the system or the
users. Safely disposing of the failed drive is a step that should be done after replacing it, not before.

A. The video cable connecting the video source to the projector is failing.
B. The bulb in the projector is failing.
C. The projector is overheating and needs to be cleaned.
D. The outlet that the projector is plugged into is faulty.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The projector is overheating and needs to be cleaned. A common cause of projector shutdown is overheating, which can be triggered by dust accumulation,
blocked vents, or faulty fans. The projector has a thermal protection circuit that turns it off when the temperature reaches a certain level, and it will not turn back on
until it cools down. To prevent this issue, the projector needs to be cleaned regularly and placed in a well- ventilated area. The video cable, the bulb, and the outlet
are not likely to cause the projector to turn off intermittently.

Answer: D
Explanation:
The screen needs to be recalibrated. The cursor drift is a common symptom of a misaligned touch screen, which can be caused by physical shocks, temperature
changes, or software updates. The screen can be recalibrated using the tablet’s settings or a utility program. The screen is not physically damaged, as there is no
visible crack or break. The screen rotation is not related to the cursor drift, as it only affects the orientation of the display. The touch-pen battery is not relevant, as
the cursor drift occurs even without using the pen.

A. IDE
B. SAS
C. eSATA
D. SATA
Answer: B
Explanation:
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is an interface type that supports high-speed data transfer and high-performance hard drives, such as 15,000rpm drives. SAS drives
are commonly used in servers that require fast access and reliability. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), eSATA (external SATA), and SATA (Serial ATA) are not
suitable for 15,000rpm drives, as they have lower speed and performance.

A. DDR4
B. VRAM
C. SODIMM
D. ECC
Answer: D
Explanation:
ECC stands for Error Correction Code, which is a type of memory that can detect and correct data errors that may occur during processing or transmission. ECC
memory is commonly used in servers that handle sensitive or critical information, such as payment information online, because it can reduce the risk of data
corruption, system crashes, or security breaches12.
DDR4 is a generation of DDR technology, which stands for Double Data Rate. DDR4 memory is faster and more power-efficient than its predecessors, but it does
not necessarily have ECC functionality. DDR4 memory can be either ECC or non-ECC1. VRAM is Video RAM, which is a type of memory that is dedicated to
storing graphics data for display. VRAM is usually found on graphics cards or integrated graphics processors, not on servers3.
SODIMM is Small Outline DIMM, which is a type of memory module that has a smaller size and lower profile than regular DIMMs. SODIMMs are typically used in
laptops, notebooks, or other compact devices, not on servers3.
