Dell PowerEdge 4600

Knowledge Check (2 of 2)

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


11) When installing memory into a Dell PowerEdge 4600, which statements are true?


The DIMMs may be inserted in any number of sets.


The DIMMs need to be inserted in sets of four.


The banks must be populated in order so that if only one bank is present, it is Bank 1.


DIMMs in Bank 2 will be used only in the event of a failure in Bank 1, so Bank 2 should only be populated if you intend to use it for failover



12) When a pre-defined ECC error threshold is reached (i.e., 20 errors occurred on the same bank), what happens?


The spare memory bank copies the data from the faulty bank while the system is running.


The system goes into "Protect Mode"; all data is cached, but no further functions can be performed until the errors are resolved.


The system displays an error message (this will vary based on BIOS version), then shuts down


The error threshold is noted in the Event Log, and the system continues running normally



13) Before removing the split backplane card, which of the following steps must be performed?


Remove the front bezel


Remove the system cover.


Disconnect the hard drives from the controller


Disconnect the hard drives from the power supplies



14) The Dell PowerEdge 4600 has two embedded NIC controllers. Which statements are true regarding the NICs?


They are configured as independent Ethernet interface devices, increasing the bandwidth and improving management of network traffic.


One limitation of the NICs is that they do not support failover


The BroadCom NIC is always installed in PCI Slot 1, and the Intel NIC is always installed in PCI Slot 2


One of the NICs is a BroadCom 10/100/1000BASE-T NIC, and the other is an Intel 82559 10/100 NIC



15) In order for the PowerEdge 4600 to be equipped with the optional PERC 3/ Di, which statement is true?


Peak throughput is 40 MB/sec


The PERC 3/Di supports clustering


The optional PERC 3/Di supports only RAID levels 0, 1, 3, and 5


A RAID enabling kit must be purchased from Dell (either at time of system purchase or at a later date) to use the integrated RAID on the PowerEdge 4600.



16) Which is a benefit of having peer PCI buses combined with 64-bit technology?


Specially designated data can be automatically tracked and backed up, providing an extra layer of data security


Peer PCI buses are fully redundant, allowing all of the functions of one card to be transferred to the card installed in the peer slot in the event of failure


High load, high performance traffic can be separated from lower performing traffic on the PCI bus, leading to increased system performance


The slots' duplicate architectural states share a single execution resource, allowing it to be utilized more efficiently.



17) Which describes the process of "Hot Replacement"?


Adding a new adapter into an open slot while the server is operating


upgrading an existing adapter with a revised or newer card, while the server is running


Removing a failed or suspect PCI adapter and inserting an identical adapter without any power disruption to the server.


Removing, adding, or upgrading a system processor while the system is in operation



18) What is indicated by the following PCI indicator symptom? "Amber, blinks twice, pauses, and then repeats the sequence"


Loose or improperly connected mouse or keyboard cable


Expansion slot is being identified by an application program or driver


Expansion card is faulty or improperly installed, causing a problem with power supply to the card


Expansion card of a slower operating speed was hot-plugged



19) The NMI Button is used for what?


Troubleshooting software and device drivers when running certain operating systems


Resetting static configuration data


Forcing a drive online


Running Dell Diagnostics from the Utility Partition



20) If Console Redirection is done via a null modem cable and the system does not have a keyboard and/or mouse attached, what will occur?


A "Keyboard Failure" error message will be produced at POST


A No POST/No Video failure


System will bluescreen during boot


System will intermittently lockup
