CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 160

A technician noted the RAID hard drives were functional while troubleshooting a motherboard failure. The technician installed a spare motherboard with similar specifications and used the original components.

Which of the following should the technician do to restore operations with minimal downtime?

Answer options

• A. Reinstall the OS and programs.
• B. Configure old drives to RAID.
• C. Reconfigure the RAID.
• D. Install from backup.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Reconfiguring the RAID is essential to restore the array and ensure the data is accessible, as the new motherboard may not automatically recognize the previous RAID configuration. Reinstalling the OS and programs (A) is unnecessary if the RAID is functioning, configuring drives to RAID (B) is not applicable since the drives are already part of a RAID setup, and installing from backup (D) is not needed if the RAID can be reconfigured correctly.
