CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 288

A technician is investigating a server's configuration to secure it from physical threats. The technician checks the BIOS and sees the following boot order:

USB Drive -

CDROM Drive -

Network Adapter -

RAID Controller -

Additionally, the server's host OS is stored on mirrored drives. Which of the following should the technician do to secure the server?

Answer options

• A. Disable all except RAID Controller.
• B. Block USB ports on the server.
• C. Set BIOS password.
• D. Move RAID Controller to the top of the list.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Setting a BIOS password is crucial as it prevents unauthorized access to the BIOS settings, which could allow an attacker to change the boot order and gain access to the system. Disabling other boot options (A) and blocking USB ports (B) are good practices but do not directly secure the BIOS settings. Moving the RAID Controller to the top of the list (D) does not address the potential threat of unauthorized BIOS access.
