Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT) — Question 42

During a boot process of a Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Server, an engineer receives a “No Signal” message from the vKVM and physical video connection. Which set of steps resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Confirm that all cards are properly seated. 3. Connect the power cord and power on the server.
• B. 1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cord. 2. Confirm that all cards are properly seated. 3. Connect the power cord and power on the server.
• C. 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Confirm that all cards are properly seated. 3. Connect the power cord.
• D. 1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cord. 2. Confirm that all cards are available. 3. Connect the power cord and power on the server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it specifies the need to power off the server before disconnecting the power cord, ensuring safety during maintenance. Option A misses the power-off step, which is crucial, while option B is less efficient as it uses 'available' instead of 'present' for the cards, which could imply a different context. Option C does not include powering off the server, which is also necessary for proper troubleshooting.
