An IT technician is troubleshooting a desktop computer that frequently turns off without warning. After isolating the failure to a damaged internal component within the workstation's power supply unit (PSU), the technician prepares to open the PSU housing to solder a replacement part. Which of the following actions represents the proper safety procedure the technician should follow?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Replace the entire power supply unit as a single field-replaceable unit rather than servicing internal components.

Cevap

The technician must replace the power supply unit as an entire assembly rather than opening the housing to repair internal components.
Power supply units (PSUs) are considered non-serviceable field-replaceable units (FRUs) for computer technicians. High-voltage capacitors inside the PSU can retain lethal electrical charges long after the PC is unplugged. Standard safety procedures mandate replacing the entire unit rather than opening the chassis for internal repair.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the high-voltage hazard associated with power supply units (PSUs).
Recognized that PSUs contain high-voltage capacitors capable of holding hazardous charge long after disconnection.
CompTIA safety standards designate PSUs (and CRT displays) as non-serviceable components for field technicians due to electric shock hazards.
2
Determine the authorized repair policy for damaged PSUs.
The entire PSU assembly must be replaced rather than disassembled.
Replacing the field-replaceable unit (FRU) eliminates exposure to internal electrical hazards.

A helpdesk technician is dispatched to inspect a office laser printer that produces output pages with solid black sheets across the entire printable area on every document. Which electrophotographic (EP) printing component has most likely failed or lost its primary electrical charge?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Primary charge roller

Cevap

The primary charge roller is the defective component causing solid black pages.
In electrophotographic (EP) laser printers, the primary charge roller (or primary corona wire) is responsible for applying a uniform high negative voltage to the photosensitive drum during the conditioning phase. If the primary charge roller fails to supply this negative charge, the drum surface retains no charge. The developer roller then deposits toner onto the entire drum surface, resulting in a completely black printed page.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the reported symptom in the electrophotographic (EP) printing process.
The printer outputs pages covered entirely in solid black toner.
Toner is electrostatically attracted to any area on the photosensitive drum that lacks a strong negative charge.
2
Evaluate the function of the primary charge roller during the conditioning stage.
The primary charge roller applies a uniform negative charge (approx. -600V) across the drum surface to prevent toner attraction until targeted by the laser.
If the primary charge roller fails, the drum remains at ground potential, allowing toner from the developer roller to cling to the entire drum.
3
Distinguish from other EP failure modes.
Failure of the transfer roller or laser unit leads to blank pages, while fuser failures lead to unbonded smudging.
Understanding component roles confirms that loss of primary charge is the sole cause of total black page output.

Cevap

The correct logical sequence is: first open an elevated Command Prompt, second run 'chkdsk C: /f /r', third confirm scheduling the operation by entering 'Y', and fourth reboot the system immediately using 'shutdown /r /t 0'.
The workflow begins by establishing an elevated Command Prompt context, as low-level disk operations require administrative privileges. Running 'chkdsk C: /f /r' instructs the system to locate bad sectors and repair file system issues. Since the operating system actively locks drive C:, the prompt requires entering 'Y' to register the task for the next boot phase. Finally, executing 'shutdown /r /t 0' immediately triggers the reboot required for CHKDSK to run while the drive is unmounted.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Launch Command Prompt with administrative rights.
Elevated CLI session is established.
CHKDSK requires full administrator privileges to modify disk structures and schedule system tasks.
2
Issue 'chkdsk C: /f /r'.
The utility prompts that the volume is currently in use by another process.
The /f parameter fixes disk errors and /r scans for bad sectors, requiring unhindered access to the partition.
3
Respond to the prompt by typing 'Y'.
The volume check is scheduled in the Windows registry for the next boot sequence.
An active system drive cannot be locked or unmounted while system files are actively open by Windows.
4
Issue 'shutdown /r /t 0'.
The computer performs an immediate reboot and initiates CHKDSK during startup.
Restarting allows Windows to execute the CHKDSK scan during the boot process before the drive is locked by the OS.

A Linux systems administrator is preparing to increase RAM allocation and update the hypervisor kernel on a cluster of host servers hosting an organization's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). The administrator has already documented the business purpose of the modification, performed a risk assessment, defined the scope of work, and drafted a step-by-step backout plan. Which of the following represents the immediate next step the administrator must perform in the formal change management lifecycle before performing the maintenance?

Cevap: Submit the documented change request to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) for formal authorization.

Cevap

The administrator must submit the documented change request to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) for formal authorization.
In formal change management workflows, once the change request components (purpose, scope, risk analysis, and rollback plan) are prepared, the request must be submitted to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) for review and authorization before any implementation or scheduling occurs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the current phase of the change management process completed by the technician.
The technician has completed the initial planning phase: purpose, scope definition, risk assessment, and backout/rollback plan.
Establishing clear scope, risk level, and recovery steps is required before seeking managerial and technical review.
2
Determine the next sequential phase in standard IT enterprise change management.
The change request must be submitted for formal Change Advisory Board (CAB) review and authorization.
CAB approval ensures that proposed changes are scheduled appropriately, do not conflict with other infrastructure maintenance windows, and meet corporate risk standards prior to deployment.
