CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 346

A datacenter in a remote location lost power. The power has since been restored, but one of the servers has not come back online. After some investigation, the server is found to still be powered off. Which of the following is the BEST method to power on the server remotely?

Answer options

• A. Crash cart
• B. Out-of-band console
• C. IP KVM
• D. RDP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Out-of-band console allows administrators to access and manage the server remotely, even when the operating system is not running. Other options like Crash cart require physical access, while IP KVM and RDP may not work if the server is completely powered off.
