A technician is assembling a workstation inside a microATX desktop chassis that provides exactly four rear expansion slot cutouts. The system requirements call for installing three separate expansion cards: a dual-slot PCIe x16 graphics card, a single-slot PCIe x4 RAID controller card, and a single-slot PCIe x1 sound card. Which of the following motherboard form factor and expansion slot layout choices MUST the technician select to ensure all three cards fit into the chassis?

Select a Micro-ATX motherboard (

9.6 \times 9.6\text{ inches}

) with its primary PCIe x16 slot located in Slot 1, allowing the dual-slot graphics card to overhang Slot 2 while leaving Slots 3 and 4 available for the remaining single-slot cards.

Select a Mini-ITX motherboard (

6.7 \times 6.7\text{ inches}

), because its smaller physical dimensions natively provide four expansion slots while reducing chassis cable clutter.

Select a standard ATX motherboard (

12 \times 9.6\text{ inches}

), because its larger PCB surface area allows it to mount into four-slot microATX chassis without physical slot overhang.

Select a Micro-ATX motherboard with the primary PCIe x16 slot positioned in Slot 2, because dual-slot graphics cards require adjacent slot spacing to interface directly with dual-channel RAM.

Cevap: Select a Micro-ATX motherboard ( $9.6 \times 9.6\text{ inches}$ ) with its primary PCIe x16 slot located in Slot 1, allowing the dual-slot graphics card to overhang Slot 2 while leaving Slots 3 and 4 available for the remaining single-slot cards.

Cevap

Select a Micro-ATX motherboard (

9.6 \times 9.6\text{ inches}

) with the primary PCIe x16 slot located in Slot 1, allowing the dual-slot graphics card to overhang Slot 2 while leaving Slots 3 and 4 available for the remaining single-slot cards.

Micro-ATX motherboards (

9.6 \times 9.6\text{ inches}

) support up to four expansion slots, which aligns with the four slot openings of a microATX chassis. A dual-slot graphics card requires two physical slot widths. Placing the PCIe x16 slot in Slot 1 uses Slot 1 for the connector and Slot 2 for the cooler clearance, leaving Slots 3 and 4 available for the single-slot RAID controller and sound card.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze chassis physical constraints and motherboard form factor dimensions.

The chassis has four expansion slot cutouts, matching the maximum limit of the Micro-ATX form factor (

9.6 \times 9.6\text{ inches}

244 \times 244\text{ mm}

). Standard ATX (

12 \times 9.6\text{ inches}

) requires seven slots and will not fit, while Mini-ITX (

6.7 \times 6.7\text{ inches}

) only has one expansion slot.

Matching chassis slot count with motherboard form factor dimensions is required for physical compatibility.

Calculate the total physical expansion slot width required by the three cards.

Dual-slot PCIe x16 graphics card = 2 slot spaces; single-slot PCIe x4 card = 1 slot space; single-slot PCIe x1 card = 1 slot space. Total required physical slot spaces =

2 + 1 + 1 = 4

slots.

A dual-slot graphics card blocks the expansion slot space immediately adjacent to the connector it plugs into.

Determine the required motherboard slot layout to fit all cards into the 4-slot chassis.

Placing the primary PCIe x16 slot in Slot 1 causes the graphics card cooler to cover Slot 2. Slots 3 and 4 remain unobstructed for the RAID controller and sound card.

If the primary x16 slot were placed in Slot 2, the graphics card would cover Slot 3 and extend beyond Slot 4, preventing the installation of all three cards.

A field technician is troubleshooting a high-end laptop brought in for repair. The user reports that while system power indicators turn on and external displays render video properly, the built-in OLED screen remains completely dark. The technician attributes the failure to a blown display inverter board and orders a replacement. Which of the following is the most accurate assessment of the technician's troubleshooting plan?

OLED displays do not use a backlight or an inverter board because pixels are self-illuminating; therefore, the diagnosis is incorrect and replacing the screen assembly or display cable is required.

The inverter board replacement will resolve the issue, but only if the technician also replaces the fluorescent CCFL backlight tube attached to the OLED panel.

The technician should first perform a complete deep discharge of the Lithium-ion battery to 0% to recalibrate power supply rails to the inverter before attempting physical replacement.

The OLED panel inverter only receives power and display signal data when the laptop is connected to an external port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt standards.

Cevap: OLED displays do not use a backlight or an inverter board because pixels are self-illuminating; therefore, the diagnosis is incorrect and replacing the screen assembly or display cable is required.

Cevap

OLED displays do not use a backlight or an inverter board because pixels are self-illuminating; therefore, the diagnosis is incorrect and replacing the screen assembly or display cable is required.

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays function fundamentally differently from LCD screens. In an OLED panel, every individual pixel generates its own light when electric current passes through. Consequently, OLED displays do not feature backlights, CCFL lamps, or high-voltage inverter boards. Ordering a replacement inverter board for an OLED display is incorrect because the part does not exist in the system architecture. The actual issue must reside in the display panel itself, the internal display connector cable (eDP/LVDS), or motherboard display circuitry.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the hardware specifications of the mobile device display.

Identify that the laptop utilizes an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen rather than a traditional LCD panel.

OLED pixels produce their own light (self-emissive), unlike LCD screens which require an LED or CCFL backlight source.

Evaluate the technician's diagnostic hypothesis regarding the inverter board failure.

Recognize that inverter boards are specifically designed to convert DC voltage to AC voltage for CCFL backlights in older LCD displays.

Because OLED displays have no backlight layer or CCFL bulbs, an inverter board does not exist in an OLED display assembly.

Determine the appropriate troubleshooting path for an unilluminated OLED screen.

Isolate the root cause to a faulty display cable connection, video connector on the motherboard, or a failed OLED panel assembly.

Since external video functions properly, the GPU is operational, pointing to physical internal connection or panel failure.

A field technician is deploying mobile workstation laptops for a group of engineers who require dual external 4K video output. The technician connects a multi-port docking station to the laptop's built-in USB Type-C port, but neither external monitor receives a video signal, even though USB peripherals connected to the dock function normally. The technician assumed that the physical USB Type-C port would support DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Thunderbolt high-speed video transmission. Which of the following best explains the root cause of this issue?

The internal OLED display backlight inverter board has experienced a power fault, disabling video transmission across all external expansion ports.

The physical USB Type-C port is connected to a host controller that only supports USB data protocols rather than DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt standards.

The laptop's smart card IMSI hardware identifier must be updated in the system BIOS to grant display output permissions over USB interfaces.

The laptop battery requires a full deep-discharge calibration cycle to trigger high-voltage power delivery to the external display controller.

Cevap: The physical USB Type-C port is connected to a host controller that only supports USB data protocols rather than DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt standards.

Cevap

The physical USB Type-C port is connected to a host controller that only supports USB data protocols rather than DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt standards.

Physical USB Type-C connectors can carry multiple independent protocols, but transmitting video requires hardware support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt. When a device's host controller only implements standard USB data protocols, USB peripherals plugged into a dock will function normally while external display signals fail to output.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the reported symptom and physical setup.

USB peripherals connected via the dock operate properly, but video output fails entirely.

This indicates that basic USB data line communication and power delivery are functional.

Evaluate hardware protocol requirements for video over USB Type-C.

Transmitting display signals over a USB Type-C physical connector requires explicit motherboard host controller support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt tunneling.

Physical USB Type-C connectors only specify mechanical and pinout standards, not supported signal protocols.

Determine the root cause of the video failure.

The laptop's port is limited to USB data transfer protocols (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen 1/2) and lacks the required Alt Mode hardware wiring.

Without DisplayPort Alt Mode hardware support, video signals cannot pass to external displays regardless of dock capability.

A field technician is troubleshooting hardware and cellular connectivity issues on corporate mobile devices. A smartphone recently had its motherboard replaced due to physical damage. Although the original SIM card was reinserted, the device fails to connect to the cellular network and displays an authorization error. The cellular carrier requires registering the 15-digit unique hardware identifier assigned to the new cellular transceiver radio built into the replacement motherboard. To resolve the cellular registration failure on this repaired device, which of the following is the correct action for the technician to take?

Obtain the device's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number and provide it to the carrier to update their hardware authorization database.

Obtain the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number from the SIM card and submit it as the updated physical hardware identifier for the replacement motherboard.

Cevap: Obtain the device's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number and provide it to the carrier to update their hardware authorization database.

Cevap

Obtain the device's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number and provide it to the carrier to update their hardware authorization database.

The correct action is to provide the carrier with the device's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). The IMEI is a unique 15-digit number hardcoded into the mobile device's cellular modem hardware. When a motherboard is replaced, the embedded cellular radio changes, resulting in a new IMEI that must be registered with the mobile network operator to restore network connectivity.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the root cause of the network authorization failure following motherboard replacement.

The physical cellular transceiver hardware changed when the motherboard was replaced, altering the hardware serial number recognized by the cellular network operator.

Cellular carriers bind network access privileges to both the subscriber card and the specific physical mobile device hardware identifier.

Differentiate between mobile identifiers (IMEI vs. IMSI).

Recognize that IMEI uniquely identifies the mobile hardware device transceiver, whereas IMSI identifies the subscriber account on the SIM card.

Since the SIM card (IMSI) remained unchanged but the motherboard (IMEI) was swapped, the new IMEI must be provisioned with the carrier.

Select the correct administrative troubleshooting step.

Retrieve the 15-digit IMEI from the device settings or motherboard assembly and submit it to the mobile operator to update account provisioning.

Updating the carrier records with the new IMEI re-authorizes the replacement transceiver to join the cellular network.

Cevap

The DHCP server or relay agent is unreachable, and DNS server settings were omitted from the static IP configuration.

The initial

address indicates APIPA, which occurs when a system cannot reach a DHCP server. Testing with a static IP address restores local IP communication to the default gateway, proving that physical layer cabling and switch port connectivity are fully functional. However, failure to resolve external domain names points directly to missing DNS server settings in the manual configuration profile.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze initial automatic IP assignment.

The assignment of

169.254.18.201

with mask

255.255.0.0

represents an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) self-assignment, confirming a failure to communicate with a DHCP server.

Cevap: Force the degrading NVMe drive offline via the RAID controller interface, replace the physical drive, and initiate an array rebuild.

Cevap

Force the degrading NVMe drive offline via the RAID controller interface, replace the physical drive, and initiate an array rebuild.

When a drive in a RAID array experiences severe S.M.A.R.T. errors and thermal throttling, it can cause system-wide I/O timeouts even if the RAID controller has not yet marked the drive as failed. Manually marking the degrading drive offline via controller management, replacing the disk, and running an array rebuild is the standard procedure to isolate the faulty drive and restore full array fault tolerance without data loss.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze drive telemetry and RAID controller state

Identify that the hardware controller sees the array as 'Optimal' because the drive has not suffered a hard total failure, but high S.M.A.R.T. errors and thermal throttling cause intermittent I/O timeouts.

Hardware RAID controllers do not always automatically mark drives with soft S.M.A.R.T. errors as failed until hard error thresholds are crossed.

Take proactive recovery action on the failing drive

Manually set the specific NVMe drive in Span 0 to an offline state using the RAID controller management utility.

Setting the drive offline removes the source of latency and I/O write timeouts from the active array span.

Replace the faulty hardware drive and rebuild

Replace the faulted NVMe drive with a healthy drive and initiate the mirror rebuilding process.

This restores full fault tolerance to Span 0 without deleting or reformatting active volumes.

An IT technician is troubleshooting a newly installed network drop in an industrial facility. A workstation connected to a Gigabit Ethernet switch experiences severe packet loss and fails to reach expected throughput. Testing the cable run with a wiremap tester reveals that the wall outlet end is wired to the T568B standard, while the patch panel end is wired to the T568A standard. The switch port LED displays a solid link at 100 Mbps, but the switch port log reports excessive Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors and late collisions during transmission. Which of the following best describes the root cause of this issue and the appropriate corrective action?

The mismatch between T568A and T568B creates an Ethernet crossover pinout that prevents full 1000BASE-T auto-negotiation and causes signal cross-talk; re-terminate the patch panel end to T568B to create a uniform straight-through cable.

Workstation-to-switch connections strictly require T568A crossover wiring; re-terminate the wall outlet end to T568A so both cable ends use crossover configuration.

The Layer 2 switch port lacks Layer 3 routing configuration to resolve speed mismatches across separate IP subnets; reconfigure the switch interface routing table.

The active 100 Mbps link light confirms full physical layer functionality, indicating the FCS errors stem from DNS daemon failures; clear the local client DNS resolver cache.

Cevap: The mismatch between T568A and T568B creates an Ethernet crossover pinout that prevents full 1000BASE-T auto-negotiation and causes signal cross-talk; re-terminate the patch panel end to T568B to create a uniform straight-through cable.

Cevap

Re-terminating the patch panel end to match T568B resolves the pinout mismatch, restores a proper straight-through pin configuration across all four wire pairs, eliminates FCS errors, and allows the link to auto-negotiate at 1000BASE-T Gigabit speed.

Standard Ethernet patch and horizontal cable runs between host workstations and network switches require straight-through wiring, where both ends use the identical wiring standard (either T568A on both ends or T568B on both ends). Terminating T568A on one end and T568B on the other produces a crossover cable. In Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), all four pairs are used simultaneously. An improper pinout creates split pairs and crosstalk, leading to Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors and preventing full-duplex Gigabit auto-negotiation. Re-terminating the patch panel end to T568B ensures a matching straight-through configuration.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the wiremap tester output and wiring standards.

Identified that one end is wired as T568B and the opposing end as T568A.

Mixing T568A and T568B on opposite ends of a single cable run creates a crossover cable pinout (pins 1 & 2 swapped with pins 3 & 6).

Evaluate the symptom of 100 Mbps link speed with high FCS errors on a Gigabit link.

Determined that the crossover configuration and split pairs prevent 1000BASE-T auto-negotiation across all four cable pairs.

Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) relies on high-frequency bidirectional signaling on all 4 pairs; improper pair alignment causes severe NEXT (near-end crosstalk) and frame corruption.

Select the proper physical Layer 1 remediation step.

Re-terminate one end so both ends follow the same wiring standard (T568B to T568B).

Creating a uniform straight-through cable restores proper pair geometry and full 1000 Mbps auto-negotiation.

Cevap: Adjacent-channel interference resulting from overlapping frequencies on the 2.4 GHz spectrum

Cevap

Adjacent-channel interference resulting from overlapping frequencies on the 2.4 GHz spectrum

The correct answer identifies adjacent-channel interference on the 2.4 GHz band. Because 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channels are 20-22 MHz wide and spaced only 5 MHz apart, channels 1, 3, and 5 overlap heavily in frequency. This creates severe RF interference and frame collisions, causing high packet loss and slow throughput even when signal strength (RSSI) is strong.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the wireless spectrum configuration provided in the scenario

The three neighboring access points are broadcasting on 2.4 GHz channels 1, 3, and 5

Evaluating channel allocation helps identify radio frequency overlap

Apply wireless networking standards for the 2.4 GHz band

Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the standard non-overlapping 22 MHz / 20 MHz channels in North America/International deployments

Channels 3 and 5 fall within the frequency range of channel 1, causing mutual RF crosstalk

Correlate channel overlap with observed network symptoms

Adjacent-channel interference leads to corrupt frames, high retry counts, packet loss, and latency despite strong RSSI

Cevap: Test the theory by inspecting the active firewall rule table or temporarily altering the rule set in a controlled environment.

Cevap

Test the theory by inspecting the active firewall rule table or temporarily altering the rule set in a controlled environment.

According to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, once a technician has identified the problem (Step 1) and established a theory of probable cause (Step 2), the next step is to test the theory to determine cause (Step 3). Inspecting the active firewall rules directly tests whether local firewall configuration changes are preventing file share access.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the current step in the CompTIA 6-step troubleshooting process from the scenario context.

The specialist completed Step 1 (Identify the problem: interviewed user, examined logs, verified IP) and Step 2 (Established a theory of probable cause: suspected firewall rule modification).

Sequential progression requires determining what step was just completed before identifying the subsequent action.

Determine the next sequential step in the CompTIA methodology.

The step directly following Step 2 is Step 3: Test the theory to determine cause.

A technician must confirm whether a theory is accurate before devoting resources to creating a plan of action or implementing changes.

Select the option that represents testing the established theory.

Inspecting the firewall rules or testing rule changes directly evaluates the firewall hypothesis without making premature enterprise-wide modifications.

Testing the specific theory validates the root cause while adhering to methodical troubleshooting boundaries.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Access control vestibule (mantrap)

Cevap

The access control vestibule (mantrap) is specifically engineered to prevent tailgating by utilizing interlocking doors that permit only one authenticated individual through at a time.

An access control vestibule (mantrap) consists of a small room with two interlocking doors. Opening one door automatically locks the other, requiring authentication before permitting entry into the secure area. This mechanism directly eliminates tailgating and piggybacking.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the threat identified in the scenario.

The primary threat is tailgating (unauthorized personnel following an authorized person into a secure room).

Selecting an effective physical control requires matching the specific threat to the control's intended design.

Evaluate the capabilities of physical entry controls.

An access control vestibule (mantrap) contains two interlocking doors where the second door will not unlock until the first door closes and authentication is validated.

This physical design enforces single-person entry and prevents unauthorized followers from entering.

Cevap: Perform a verified backup of the workstation's data, replace the failing SATA SSD, and rebuild the mirrored array.

Cevap

Perform a verified backup of the workstation's data, replace the failing SATA SSD, and rebuild the mirrored array.

When a S.M.A.R.T. alert indicates a drive is failing within a RAID 1 array, the proper procedure is to back up data to prevent loss in case the remaining drive fails, swap out the failing drive, and allow the controller to rebuild the array. This preserves data integrity and restores fault tolerance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the failing storage component

Determined that one SATA SSD in the RAID 1 array is generating S.M.A.R.T. errors.

S.M.A.R.T. errors indicate impending physical drive degradation, which causes latency due to repeated read retries.

Secure data redundancy

Created a current verified backup of all critical workstation data.

Best practices dictate backing up data prior to hardware replacement in case the remaining functional drive fails during the repair process.

Replace hardware and restore array redundancy

Replaced the failing SSD with a compatible unit and initiated the RAID 1 rebuild process.

Rebuilding the mirror restores full drive redundancy and resolves the system performance slowdown.

A systems administrator is configuring an automated network deployment of Windows 11 Pro across a fleet of custom workstations equipped with a new hardware RAID storage controller. The administrator creates a deployment share and configures an `autounattend.xml` answer file. However, when Windows Setup launches on the target clients via PXE, the installation halts at the disk partition selection phase with the error message: "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver." Reviewing the `autounattend.xml` file reveals that the custom RAID controller driver package was placed in the `offlineServicing` configuration pass. Which of the following actions should the administrator take to resolve this issue while maintaining an automated deployment process?

Reconfigure the answer file to inject the RAID controller driver package during the windowsPE configuration pass.

Reconfigure the answer file to inject the RAID controller driver package during the specialize configuration pass.

Initiate an in-place upgrade using Windows 10 Home installation media to automatically load legacy storage drivers before applying the answer file.

Cevap: Reconfigure the answer file to inject the RAID controller driver package during the windowsPE configuration pass.

Cevap

Reconfigure the answer file to inject the RAID controller driver package during the windowsPE configuration pass.

During an automated Windows deployment utilizing an `autounattend.xml` answer file, mass storage controller drivers essential for disk recognition must be injected during the `windowsPE` configuration pass. The `windowsPE` pass configures settings specific to the preinstallation environment prior to drive selection, disk partitioning, and image staging. Injecting the driver at this phase ensures WinPE initializes the RAID controller before Setup searches for target disks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Diagnose the disk detection error in Windows Setup.

The Windows installer cannot identify target disk drives because the WinPE boot environment lacks the required third-party RAID controller driver.

WinPE requires storage controller drivers loaded in memory before it can initialize storage controllers, scan for disks, and create partition structures.

Analyze the Windows deployment configuration pass sequence.

The `offlineServicing` pass applies updates and drivers to an offline Windows image after it has been copied to disk. The `windowsPE` pass processes drivers before disk selection occurs.

Placing driver injection in `offlineServicing` fails because Setup cannot reach the image-copying stage without first detecting a target disk.

Update the autounattend.xml structure.

Move the driver injection directive (`Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE`) into the `windowsPE` configuration pass.

Injecting the storage driver during the `windowsPE` pass enables Setup to load the driver immediately upon boot, successfully exposing the RAID array for automated partitioning.

An IT technician is servicing a system after replacing the CPU cooler and modular power supply. When the power button is pressed, the power supply unit (PSU) makes a distinct clicking sound, the cooling fans turn for a fraction of a second, and the computer instantly powers down. Pressing the power button again has no effect until the AC power cable is unplugged and reattached. The technician confirms that total system power requirements are well within the PSU's rated continuous output. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this symptom?

A short circuit or incorrectly plugged 12V EPS connector on the motherboard triggering the power supply's latching shutdown protection circuit

Corrupted BIOS firmware causing a failure during the initial Power-On Self-Test (POST) diagnostic check

System RAM installed in alternating DIMM slots causing a dual-channel memory configuration mismatch

The continuous power draw of the system hardware under heavy processing load exceeding the wattage capacity of the PSU

Cevap: A short circuit or incorrectly plugged 12V EPS connector on the motherboard triggering the power supply's latching shutdown protection circuit

Cevap

A short circuit or incorrectly plugged 12V EPS connector on the motherboard triggering the power supply's latching shutdown protection circuit

When a direct electrical short circuit occurs on a motherboard—such as a misplaced standoff shorting a trace or a reversed/pinched 12V auxiliary power cable—the power supply's Short Circuit Protection (SCP) or Over Current Protection (OCP) circuit trips instantaneously. This causes a click sound and cuts power in under a second. The PSU enters a latching state that requires complete removal of AC power to reset.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the observed hardware symptom

The system shuts down in less than one second with an audible PSU click, and subsequent power button presses fail until AC power is cycled.

This behavior indicates a latching safety mechanism within the power supply unit.

Evaluate PSU protection features

Latching protection (OCP/SCP) trips immediately when a low-impedance short circuit is detected on any DC power rail (e.g., +12V, +5V, +3.3V).

To protect internal components from electrical fires or severe silicon damage, the PSU shuts down and refuses to restart until residual flea power clears upon AC line disconnection.

Differentiate from software, POST, and load-based failures

BIOS/POST errors allow fan spin to continue; memory configuration issues cause POST halts rather than latching PSU trips; under-wattage issues manifest under load.

Direct electrical short circuits are unique in causing sub-second latching power cuts.

A video editor reports severe performance degradation and occasional read timeouts when accessing archived media projects on a workstation. System diagnostics reveal that the workstation utilizes a software RAID 0 volume for scratch cache and a hardware RAID 10 array for long-term project storage. Controller logs show that a single disk in the hardware RAID 10 array has suffered a total mechanical failure and is offline, while all other physical drives report healthy status. Which of the following is the most appropriate immediate action for the technician to take to restore fault tolerance to the storage system?

Replace the failed physical drive in the RAID 10 array and initiate an array rebuild operation.

Re-format the failed drive using disk management utilities and re-add it to the RAID 0 scratch cache volume.

Delete the RAID 10 array configuration and recreate it as a RAID 5 array using only the remaining operational drives.

Break the RAID 10 volume mirror and convert the remaining online disks into independent unstriped dynamic disks.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Replace the failed physical drive in the RAID 10 array and initiate an array rebuild operation.

Cevap

Replace the failed physical drive in the RAID 10 array and initiate an array rebuild operation.

Replacing the failed physical drive with a healthy disk of equal or greater capacity and starting a rebuild restores full redundancy to a RAID 10 array. Because RAID 10 relies on mirroring, the mirrored partner of the failed disk still holds an exact copy of the data, allowing the controller to reconstruct the mirror without data destruction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the array architecture and current degradation state.

The degraded volume is a hardware RAID 10 array with a single failed physical drive.

RAID 10 uses mirrored pairs across striped sets, meaning data redundancy is still maintained by the operational mirror partner of the failed drive.

Determine the proper corrective procedure for a degraded fault-tolerant RAID array.

Physical disk replacement and rebuild execution.

Replacing the defective disk allows the RAID controller to mirror data back onto the new disk, restoring fault tolerance without data loss.
