   A hospital is deploying PowerEdge MX servers to manage patient records. They require that only authorized personnel with PIV cards can access the server's management interface. Which component should be configured to enforce this policy?

   • AConfigure the iDRAC to require PIV authentication for all management access.
   • BConfigure the PERC controller to require PIV authentication for storage access.
   • CConfigure the BOSS-N1 to require PIV authentication for boot access.
   • DConfigure the E3 storage to require PIV authentication for data access.

   Which feature is introduced with DDR5 memory and is used to improve reliability in 16G PowerEdge MX servers?

   • ARegistered DIMMs (RDIMMs) that eliminate the need for any error correction.
   • BLoad-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) that double the memory capacity per channel.
   • CA separate error-correction chip on the motherboard that handles all memory errors.
   • DOn-die ECC (ODECC) that corrects errors within the DRAM chips.

   A defense contractor requires that all server access, including local console and remote management, be authenticated with CAC/PIV cards. They are deploying PowerEdge MX servers. Which implementation step is necessary to meet this requirement?

   • AConfigure the iDRAC to require CAC/PIV authentication for all management access.
   • BUse a third-party authentication server to enforce CAC/PIV for all server access.
   • CEnable CAC/PIV authentication in the BIOS for local console access.
   • DConfigure both iDRAC and BIOS to require CAC/PIV authentication for all access.

   An organization is deploying PowerEdge MX servers with a mix of SAS and NVMe drives. They want to use a single RAID controller to manage both types of drives for a unified storage pool. Which PERC feature should they verify is supported?

   • APERC supports NVMe drives only when used as boot drives, not for data storage.
   • BPERC supports mixed SAS and NVMe drive configurations in a single RAID array.
   • CPERC supports SAS drives only, and NVMe drives must be managed by the operating system.
   • DPERC supports SAS and NVMe drives, but they must be configured in separate RAID arrays or volumes.

   An IT team is deploying PowerEdge MX servers for a branch office. They want to boot the servers from a local device to reduce dependency on the SAN. They have limited physical space and want to avoid using front-accessible drive bays for the OS. Which solution should they choose?

   • AUse a BOSS-N1 card with two M.2 SSDs in a RAID 1 configuration for the boot drive.
   • BUse a single large SATA SSD in a front bay for the OS and applications.
   • CUse a USB flash drive for the OS, as it is small and does not consume drive bays.
   • DUse a PERC controller with a RAID 5 array of small SAS drives for the boot volume.
