A systems technician is tasked with upgrading the physical RAM on several mobile workstations assigned to a field engineering team. After procuring 16 GB DDR4 memory modules specified for desktop computers, the technician attempts installation but discovers that the modules are physically too long and cannot fit into the internal memory sockets on the laptop motherboards. Which of the following describes the root cause of this installation failure?
- Mobile laptops require Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMMs) rather than full-sized desktop DIMM modules.Cevap
- BThe memory slot insertion was blocked because the laptop's display inverter board was not disconnected prior to installation.
- CThe memory modules failed to seat because the laptop motherboard requires an active cellular IMSI registration to unlock RAM expansion bays.
- DThe workstation motherboard only accepts memory expansion connected through external high-speed USB-C Thunderbolt protocols.
Cevap
The installation failed because laptops require Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMMs), which have a smaller physical footprint than standard desktop DIMM modules.
Mobile devices such as laptops and portable workstations rely on Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMMs). SO-DIMMs are roughly half the length of standard desktop DIMMs to fit inside compact mobile chassis. Attempting to install full-sized desktop DIMMs will fail mechanically due to length and pin-notch misalignment.
