Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 68

You work as a Network Administrator for NetTech Inc. A server in the network is unable to load the network operating system. You find that a POST error has occurred. You want to use a POST diagnostic hardware adapter to diagnose the error. How will you use it?

Answer options

• A. Insert the card into an open bus slot. Boot the computer. The error codes will display on the adapter.
• B. Connect the card to a serial port. Boot the computer. The error codes will be stored in a memory buffer created by the card.
• C. Insert the card into an open bus slot. Boot the computer. The error codes will print.
• D. Insert the card into an open bus slot. Boot the computer using the floppy disk provided by the card manufacturer. The error codes will be stored on a floppy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because inserting the POST diagnostic adapter into an open bus slot and booting the computer will allow the adapter to display the error codes directly. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest using a serial port, printing codes, or booting with a floppy disk, which are not the standard methods for using a POST diagnostic adapter.
