01. A university research lab installs its own Linux build on a PowerEdge server. The boot virtual disk is 6 TB, so the server runs in UEFI boot mode, and UEFI Secure Boot is enabled. The lab's boot loader is not signed with any key in the server's Secure Boot database, and the installer is refused at startup with a Secure Boot violation.
Which action lets the installation proceed while keeping the whole boot virtual disk usable?
a) Mount the installer as iDRAC Virtual Media instead
b) Disable Secure Boot in System Security settings
c) Enable the TPM in System Security before restarting
d) Change the boot mode to BIOS in System BIOS Boot Settings
02. At a managed service provider, the iDRAC of a customer's PowerEdge server shows repeated failed login attempts from one address on the management network. Administrators log in from many different addresses on that same network, and their access must stay unrestricted.
Which iDRAC setting limits password guessing from the offending address while leaving administrator access unchanged?
a) Disable the iDRAC web server so that no HTTPS logins are accepted
b) Enable IP range filtering for the management network's subnet
c) Enable System Lockdown mode so configuration changes are rejected
d) Enable IP Blocking so an address is locked out after repeated login failures
03. A media company's PowerEdge servers carry iDRAC10 Enterprise licenses. Its security roadmap lists six iDRAC features, and budget for an upgrade is approved only for a feature that Enterprise does not include. Which three features require an upgrade to iDRAC10 Datacenter?
(Choose three.)
a) Smart card two-factor authentication
b) Auto Certificate Enrollment
c) BIOS Live Scanning
d) Active Directory and LDAP login
e) Virtual Console
f) RSA SecurID two-factor authentication
04. During a health check at a bank branch, an administrator reviews the power readings of a PowerEdge server with two PSUs. Both PSUs report a normal status and normal input voltage, and redundancy is reported as full. PSU 1 is supplying nearly all of the server's output power, while PSU 2 is supplying almost none. Hot Spare is enabled with PSU 1 as the primary power supply.
What do these readings indicate?
a) Normal Hot Spare operation with PSU 2 in standby
b) A lost AC feed from the PDU to PSU 2
c) A failing PSU 2 that can no longer deliver output power
d) A load imbalance from a mismatched PSU pair
05. An administrator at a broadcast company has mapped an operating system ISO through iDRAC Virtual Media for a remote PowerEdge server. The installer includes every driver the server needs. The server must boot from the virtual media on the next restart only, and the restart will run unattended in a maintenance window with nobody pressing keys during POST.
Which two methods meet these requirements?
(Choose two.)
a) In System BIOS Boot Settings, move the virtual CD to the top of the sequence permanently
b) Enable a PXE device so that the server loads the ISO from the network at restart
c) In the iDRAC web interface, set the next boot device to Virtual CD/DVD/ISO with boot once
d) Open the Virtual Console and press F11 to choose the virtual CD during POST
e) From a management station, use remote RACADM to set a one-time boot to the virtual CD/DVD
06. A university lab administrator opens the iDRAC web interface of a PowerEdge server running Linux. The hardware inventory is complete, but the host name and operating system name fields are empty, and the network pages do not show which OS interface name belongs to each physical port.
What should the administrator do so that iDRAC displays this information?
a) Reset the iDRAC to refresh its data
b) Rediscover the server in OpenManage Enterprise
c) Install the iDRAC Service Module in the host OS
d) Enable Collect System Inventory on Restart and then reboot
07. The IT team for a regional hospital network monitors 200 PowerEdge servers in OpenManage Enterprise (OME). Each morning they want a list of only the servers currently reporting a Critical health status, produced from the one console without signing in to any iDRAC. What should the team do?
a) Run a configuration compliance check against a template
b) Filter the OME device list by health status and select Critical
c) Export the Lifecycle Log from each server's iDRAC
d) Run a firmware compliance report against the OME baseline
08. At a call center, the iDRAC System Event Log of a PowerEdge server contains two overnight entries for Fan 4. The first reports its speed below the lower critical threshold, and the second, a few minutes later, reports that the reading returned to normal. This morning the iDRAC fan sensor page shows Fan 4 in Normal status, and the dashboard reports the system as Healthy.
Which two conclusions do these readings support?
(Choose two.)
a) Fan 4 is operating within its thresholds right now
b) The server is still running without fan redundancy
c) Fan 4 has failed and needs to be replaced immediately
d) The fan speed is still below its critical threshold
e) The low fan speed was a transient event that has since cleared
09. A bank must install an operating system on PowerEdge servers in several branch offices that have no IT staff on site. The servers have no operating system yet, carry iDRAC10 Enterprise licenses, are already discovered in OpenManage Enterprise and have reachable iDRAC network ports.
Which two methods can deliver the installation without anyone on site?
(Choose two.)
a) Enable System Lockdown and let Lifecycle Controller apply the image
b) Map the ISO with iDRAC Virtual Media and run setup through the Virtual Console
c) Run local RACADM on each server to attach the installation ISO
d) Deploy an OME template to the servers with its boot-to-network-ISO option
e) Install iSM on each server and push the operating system through it
10. A museum must install an operating system today on a PowerEdge server in a locked equipment room. The server's iDRAC has a Core license, and no license upgrade can be purchased this quarter. The server sits on a provisioning network that already runs a working PXE deployment service, and it boots in UEFI mode.
How can the administrator install the operating system remotely?
a) Install iSM on the server and deploy the image through it
b) Start the Lifecycle Controller OS Deployment wizard from the iDRAC web interface
c) Map the ISO through iDRAC Virtual Media and launch the Virtual Console
d) Set a one-time PXE boot in the iDRAC and power-cycle the server to load the image
