CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 316
An administrator needs to perform bare-metal maintenance on a server in a remote datacenter. Which of the following should the administrator use to access the server's console?
Answer options
- A. IP KVM
- B. VNC
- C. A crash cart
- D. RDP
- E. SSH
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct choice is IP KVM because it allows remote access to a server's console, which is essential for bare-metal maintenance. VNC, RDP, and SSH require an operating system to be running on the server, while a crash cart is a physical tool that does not provide remote access.
