EXAMINATION COMPLETE QUESTIONS
AND DETAILED SOLUTIONS LATEST
UPDATE THIS YEAR JUST RELEASED
Exam Coverage
1. ProLiant server architecture and hardware components.
2. Processor, memory, and system board configuration.
3. UEFI, BIOS, and Intelligent Provisioning features.
4. Storage technologies, RAID, and Smart Array controllers.
5. HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) remote management.
6. Firmware, drivers, and lifecycle management.
7. Server installation, deployment, and operating system provisioning.
8. Power supplies, cooling systems, and hardware maintenance.
9. Server security, monitoring, and system health management.
10. Troubleshooting hardware failures and performance issues.
1.
A systems administrator needs to remotely diagnose a
ProLiant server that cannot boot into its operating system
while minimizing travel time and service interruption.
Which HPE feature provides remote console access,
,hardware monitoring, and virtual media capabilities
without requiring physical presence?
A. Smart Array Administrator
B. Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)
C. Intelligent Provisioning Recovery Manager
D. HPE Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition
Answer: B. Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)
Rationale: iLO enables secure remote management, remote
console access, virtual media, hardware monitoring, and
power control even when the operating system is
unavailable.
2.
Before installing a production operating system on a newly
delivered ProLiant server, an administrator wants to
simplify hardware configuration, firmware preparation,
and operating system deployment using built-in tools.
Which utility best fulfills these requirements?
A. HPE Smart Storage Administrator
B. Intelligent Provisioning
C. Windows Task Scheduler
D. PXE Boot Manager
Answer: B. Intelligent Provisioning
,Rationale: Intelligent Provisioning provides integrated
deployment, firmware preparation, RAID configuration,
and operating system installation without requiring
separate installation media.
3.
An organization requires continuous storage availability
despite the failure of one physical hard drive in a ProLiant
server hosting departmental applications. Which RAID
level best satisfies this requirement while maintaining
relatively simple implementation?
A. RAID 0
B. RAID 1
C. RAID 5 without parity rebuilding
D. JBOD
Answer: B. RAID 1
Rationale: RAID 1 mirrors data between two drives,
allowing continued operation after one drive fails while
preserving complete data redundancy.
4.
While installing additional memory into an HPE ProLiant
server, a technician wants to maximize overall memory
, performance and ensure compatibility with the processor
architecture. What should the technician verify before
installation?
A. That DIMMs are installed randomly across available
slots regardless of processor configuration.
B. That memory modules follow the recommended
population order and supported specifications provided by
HPE.
C. That all installed DIMMs have different capacities to
improve memory balancing.
D. That ECC memory is replaced with consumer desktop
memory for higher speed.
Answer: B. That memory modules follow the recommended
population order and supported specifications provided by
HPE.
Rationale: Proper DIMM population order and supported
memory types ensure optimal performance, stability, and
processor memory-channel utilization.
5.
Following a firmware update, a ProLiant server repeatedly
displays hardware initialization errors during startup.
