Dell PowerEdge 1650

Knowledge Check (1 of 2)

The following questions will allow you to check how well you've learned the material included in this course.


1) The PowerEdge 1650 is available in which chassis configurations?


1U Rack-model


2U Rack-model


4U Rack-model and stand-alone


6U Rack-model




2) The PowerEdge 1650 is available in which rack options? (Choose all that apply)


Traditional four-post mounting utilizing Dell's RapidRails


2-post center-mount and flush-mount options for Chatsworth two-post racks


*Versarails option is available for third party racks.


FlexiFit inter-post mounting




3) Which statement best describes the PowerEdge 1650's chassis in comparison to the PowerEdge 2450?


They are exactly the same


They are not at all similar


As with the PowerEdge 2450, the top cover consists of two panels that swing up and out; however, in the 1650, the larger panel covers the system area, and the smaller panel covers the power supply compartment.


As with the PowerEdge 2450, the top cover consists of one panel that is removed by loosening the rear thumbscrew. However, the 1650 has safety latches in the rear that must be undone.




4) The PowerEdge 1650 provides two video connectors (one on the back panel, and one on the front-panel). If a monitor is connected to the front panel video connector, which of the following is true?


The back panel video connector is disabled.


The front-panel video connector must be turned on in the BIOS to activate


The keyboard and/or mouse must be connected to the front panel


Dual monitor capabilities are activated-- a second monitor can be attached to the rear video output jack




5) Which of the following are valid power configurations for the PowerEdge 1650?


One 275W power supply


Two 275W, hot-plug, redundant power supplies


Two 275W, hot-plug, independent (non-redundant) power supplies


Three 275W, hot-plug, redundant power supplies




6) What is required for a 48V power supply to work in the PowerEdge 1650?


Firmware update


A 48-Volt PSDB


A special dongle cable


A 48V power supply will not work in this system




7) How are the PowerEdge 1650's VRMs different from previous PowerEdge models?


They are lithium, giving them longer lifespans


They can be swapped between Dell and non-Dell systems


They are soldered onto the system board


They have a termination option that can be activated via toggle switch




8) Which are not valid memory configurations for the PowerEdge 1650? (Choose all that apply)


One 256-MB DIMM


Two 128-MB DIMMs


Four 256-MB DIMMs


Six 1 GB DIMMs




9) What is the function of "set combining"?


Combines multiple data paths into one stream for more efficient transmission


Combines separate data requests into a data COMSET


Raises the clock speed of slower DIMMS to match the fastest installed module


Treats four identical DIMMs as a single bank, so the system does not have to switch between separate banks to retrieve data.




10) Which are features of the PowerEdge 1650's backplane?


It does not have the capability to be split.


Soldered to the system board (cannot be manually removed).


Supports drives capable of peak transfer rates of 320 MB/sec.


Operates only in a 1x3 configuration with one host adapter connection.


If the IDE Hard Drive option is sold the SCSI backplane will not be installed.
