CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 26

A junior systems administrator wants to know which components on a server are normally hot-swappable. Which of the following components are usually hot- swappable? (Select TWO).

Answer options

• A. Hard drive
• B. CPU
• C. RAM
• D. Power supply
• E. NIC

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A (Hard drive) and E (NIC) because these components are designed to be replaced while the system is running, allowing for minimal downtime. In contrast, the CPU, RAM, and power supply typically require the server to be powered down for replacement, making them non-hot-swappable.
