CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 27

A technician is attempting to update a server's firmware. After inserting the media for the firmware and restarting the server, the machine starts normally into the
OS. Which of the following should the technician do NEXT to install the firmware?

Answer options

• A. Press F8 to enter safe mode
• B. Boot from the media
• C. Enable HIDS on the server
• D. Log in with an administrative account

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct action is to 'Boot from the media' (B), as this is necessary to initiate the firmware update process. Pressing F8 (A) will only access safe mode, which is unrelated to firmware installation. Enabling HIDS (C) does not assist in the update process, and logging in with an administrative account (D) is not required at this stage since the server needs to boot from the firmware media first.
