You have an older computer that has four DDR2 memory slots. Currently, there are two 512-MB memory modules installed. You check the motherboard documentation and find that the system has a 4-GB memory limitation. You want to add more memory to this system. What is the maximum total amount of usable RAM you can have in this system by adding new memory modules (and without replacing the existing memory modules)? Answer 2 GB 4.5 GB 1.5 GB 3 GB 4 GB 3.5 GB

3 GB the two existing modules total 1 GB of RAM. You have two remaining slots with which you can add memory to the system. Because the motherboard has a 4 GB memory limit, there is also a 1 GB limit for each memory slot. So, you could add (at most) two 1-GB modules in the remaining slots, which would bring the system's total RAM to 3 GB.

For example, instead of being idle, the processor is optimized to process several tasks at a time.

While creating a virtual machine, you decide to set it up to use an external network. What else do you need to do to enable the eternal network configuration? Answer Select a NIC using the virtual switch manager. Set the RAM on the virtual machine to match the host. Make sure that you are using a Type 1 hypervisor. Configure the virtual machine to use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

Select a NIC using the virtual switch manager. --If you choose an external network configuration, you need to use the virtual switch manager to select a NIC. --Matching the RAM on the host and configuring the virtual machine to use RDP are not requirements for enabling an external network configuration. --A Type 1 hypervisor acts as an OS on a physical host machine. The type of hypervisor (Type 1 or Type 2) does not impact the external virtual network configuration

A customer needs to use several applications. Currently, the computer cannot keep all the necessary applications open at the same time. Which of the following components should you consider upgrading? Hard disk drive CPU System board Memory

When an application starts up, it is loaded into memory. If the computer does not have sufficient memory, the application cannot start. To remedy the problem, add more memory to your computer. You upgrade the hard disk to provide additional storage space for files. You upgrade the CPU to execute programs faster or to provide advanced processing features. You upgrade the system board to support new components, such as newer memory modules, CPUs, or bus types.

You have just upgraded the memory in one of your network servers by adding two 4-GB ECC memory cards. Before purchasing the new memory, you made sure that the modules fit in the memory slots (packaging) and the speed (memory frequency) was supported by the memory controller. What did you forget to check that would significantly impact the memory checking of your new ECC memory cards? Answer Whether or not the new memory modules are single- or double-sided. Whether or not the existing memory modules support ECC. Whether or not the existing memory modules support parity RAM. Whether or not the new memory modules are buffered.

Whether or not the existing memory modules support ECC. You forgot to check whether or not the existing memory cards support ECC. Mixing ECC and non-ECC memory would disable the error correction function on the new memory cards.

You are using a patch panel to connect the computers in your building to the appropriate switches, and you need to connect the Ethernet wires from the building network port cables to the patch panel. Where do you connect the wires on a patch panel? Answer You connect the wires to the frontside of the panel. Yon connect the wires to the backside of the panel. You connect the incoming wires to the front and the outgoing wires to the back. You connect the outgoing wires to the front and the incoming wires to the back.

You connect the wires to the backside of the panel

You are in the process of installing a new motherboard in your workstation. You have already installed the CPU, heat sink, and memory. You have inserted the I/O shield into the case, fastened the standoffs to the case, and attached the motherboard to the standoffs. You are now ready to complete the installation. Drag each remaining step on the left to the right in the appropriate order that you need to complete them

You should perform the steps in the following order to complete the motherboard installation: 1. Connect the power and accessory cables. 2. Connect your drives to the SATA connectors. 3. Install additional devices in the expansion slots. 4. Conned the wires for the front/top panel ports. 5. Document the settings for the new motherboard.

Consider the memory modules shown in the image below. Drag each label on the left and drop it on the letter on the right that best identifies the associated memory module form.

a. DDR (double data rate synchronous dynamic RAM) DIMM has a single notch, slightly off-center. DDR memory has 184 pins. b.DDR3 DIMM has a single notch that is more off-center than the notch for DDR or DDR-2. Like DDR2, DDR3 has 240 pins. c.DDR4 DIMM has a single notch, slightly right of center. DDR4 has 288 pins. d.DDR2 DIMM has a notch that is slightly closer to the middle and has more pins (240) than DDR memory. e.200-pin SO-DIMM has a notch that is farther off-center than 144-pin SO-DIMM. These modules are used by DDR2 and DDR3 memory. f.144-pin SO-DIMM is used in notebook computers. The notch is slightly off-center. g.UniDIMM has a notch that is positioned similar to 200-pin SO-DIMM. UniDIMM supports both DDR3 and DDR4 memory.
