A PowerEdge server is experiencing intermittent network drops. The iDRAC logs show 'NIC 1 link down' events, but the switch reports no errors. You suspect a hardware issue. What is the best way to isolate the faulty component?

Run the built-in NIC diagnostics to test the NIC hardware

Update the NIC firmware to the latest version

Replace the network cable and check the switch port

Replace the NIC because the logs indicate a link issue

A PowerEdge server fails to boot and the LCD displays 'MEM 2E' error. The server has 16 DIMMs across 8 channels. You suspect a memory fault. What is the most systematic next step to isolate the faulty DIMM?

Run the memory test from the built-in diagnostics to identify the specific DIMM

Check the iDRAC logs for the memory error and then replace the CPU

Reseat the DIMMs in the affected channel and retry booting

Replace all DIMMs in the affected channel at once

You are replacing a faulty CPU in a PowerEdge server that is part of a high-availability cluster. The server is currently offline for maintenance. After replacing the CPU, what is the most important step before returning the server to the cluster?

Update the BIOS to the latest version

Verify that the CPU is listed in the system inventory

Run the built-in diagnostics to verify the CPU and system health

Check the iDRAC logs for any errors after boot

What is the correct safety procedure before replacing a faulty power supply in a PowerEdge server?

Press the power button to discharge residual power

Update the firmware before replacement

Disconnect the power cord and wait for the server to cool down

A PowerEdge server is failing POST with a beep code that indicates a memory error. The server has 24 DIMMs. The iDRAC log shows 'Memory 2A' error. You have a limited maintenance window. What is the most efficient way to isolate the faulty DIMM?

Run the built-in memory diagnostics to identify the specific DIMM

Replace all DIMMs in the affected channel at once

Reseat all DIMMs in the affected channel and retry booting

Swap DIMMs between channels to see if the error follows the module
