Topic 1: Exam Pool A
A user reboots a machine. On rebooting, the user hears one beep, and then an error message is displayed. Which of the following are MOST likely causing this issue? (Select TWO).
A. RAM module
B. Graphics card
C. CPU
D. Boot order
E. USB flash drive
F. Power supply
Explanation: When a user hears one beep on rebooting a machine, and then an error message is displayed, it could indicate that there is a problem with the RAM module or the boot order. The beep sound indicates that the POST process was successful, and the error message indicates that the boot process was unsuccessful. The boot order determines the sequence in which the computer looks for bootable devices. References: CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Tenth Edition by Mike Meyers (Page 693)
A technician needs to add storage to a workstation. The workstation does not have room to add any internal storage, so the technician plans to add an external storage device. Which of the following connection types should the technician MOST likely use?
A. SCSI
B. eSATA
C. PCIe
D. NVMe
Explanation: eSATA is the best choice for adding external storage as it offers a fast transfer rate and is specifically designed for external storage devices. SCSI is an older interface that is rarely used today, PCIe is typically used to add expansion cards to a computer, and NVMe is a newer interface for high-speed solid-state storage, but it is typically used for internal storage devices.
A user requested upgrades to a company-issued laptop to increase its performance while working with a large database stored on drive C. Which of the following tasks should a systems administrator complete to BEST meet this goal? (Select TWO).
A. Configure RAID 1.
B. Install a hybrid drive.
C. Upgrade to 1GB NIC.
D. Increase the RAM.
E. Migrate to a SSD.
F. Upgrade the power supply.
Explanation: To increase the performance of a laptop working with a large database stored on drive C, a systems administrator should increase the RAM and migrate to an SSD. Increasing the RAM will help the laptop to better handle the large database, while migrating to an SSD will improve the speed at which the laptop can access the database. Configuring RAID 1, installing a hybrid drive, upgrading to a 1GB NIC, and upgrading the power supply will not directly improve the laptop's performance when working with a large database.

A technician is setting up a new desktop computer and will be installing the hard drive directly on the motherboard without using cables to connect it. Which of the following will the technician be installing?
A. Thunderbolt
B. eSATA
C. M.2
D. SCSI
Explanation: M.2 is a form factor for solid-state drives (SSDs) that enables direct
attachment to the motherboard without the need for cables. Thunderbolt is a high-speed
interface that supports data transfer, video output, and charging. eSATA is an external
interface for connecting SATA devices. SCSI is an older interface standard for connecting
hard drives, printers, and other peripherals.
Installing a hard drive directly on the motherboard without using cables is usually done with
an M.2 slot.
