Dell PowerEdge 2650

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 2650 is available in which chassis configurations?


1U Rack-model only


2U Rack-model only


4U Rack-model and stand-alone


6U Rack-model




2) Which of the following are features of the PowerEdge 2650? (Choose all that apply)


ServerWorks Grand Champion-LE Chipset


Up to 6GB of PC200 Registered Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Memory (post RTS will support 12GB)


Dual Integrated Gigabit NICs (Broadcom 5701) on a 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X bus


Quad Xeon processor support




3) Which of the following is NOT true regarding the fans on the PowerEdge 2650?


The PowerEdge 2650 incorporates three different fan assemblies.


The fans are hot-pluggable and fully redundant


Any single fan can be replaced without shutting down the system.


A failure in the processor fan assembly will cause an immediate system shutdown




4) How many of the PowerEdge 2650's PCI buses are PCI-X?


None


One


Two


Three


Four


Five




5) The PowerEdge 2650 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 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


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




6) Which of the following are true regarding the PowerEdge 2650's power subsystem?


It does not have a PSDB.


The PSDB handles AC switching and hot-plug logic.


It uses two hot-plug 500W power supplies in a 1+1 configuration


The chassis must be opened to remove the power supplies, requiring removal of the system from its rack in the event of a failure.




7) Which best describes Hyper-Threading?


Xeon Processors have two completely separate processors on one die.


Operating systems view a single processor as two logical processors.


High-priority operations are "threaded" to a designated primary processor, while lower-priority operations are handled by the backup.


It refers to the physical layout of the processor's transistors.




8) Which is true regarding the PowerEdge 2650's memory subsystem? (Select all that apply)


Supports up to six PC200 DDR SDRAM DIMMs


While memory capacity must be identical within a given bank to enable memory interleaving, capacities for two separate banks can be different.


If only one memory module is installed in the system, it will not POST


The system supports a total memory capacity of 4 GB




9) To enable the PowerEdge 2650's Spare Bank Memory feature, which of the following are required?


System must be populated with either 2 or 3 banks of identical DIMMs


Installed operating system must support the Spare Bank Memory feature


Feature must be enabled in System Setup.


Chipset firmware must be release 1.01a or later.




10) Which statements are true regarding the PowerEdge 2650's backplane?


It has five hot-plug-capable Ultra-160 LVD SCSI slots


It has one slot for connecting a daughter board board to the backplane.


It has four 68-pin SCSI connectors for connecting add-in LVD SCSI controllers


The backplane can be configured to support drives of any size greater than 1.0"
