CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 120

A server administrator made a change in a server’s BIOS in an attempt to fix an issue with the OS not turning on. However, the change did not successfully correct the issue.

Which of the following should the server administrator do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Reinstall the server OS in repair mode while maintaining the data.
• B. Flash the BIOS with the most recent version.
• C. Reverse the latest change made to the server and reboot.
• D. Restart the server into safe mode and roll back changes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to reverse the latest BIOS change and reboot the server, as this allows the administrator to return to a known working state. Flashing the BIOS or installing the OS in repair mode may not resolve the underlying issue and could complicate troubleshooting further. Booting into safe mode may not address the BIOS configuration that caused the problem.
