Which hardware setting on a Dell PowerEdge XE node is most directly responsible for ensuring that the node can boot consistently from the intended cluster boot device, especially after a power loss?

Configuring the RAID controller to present the virtual disk as a non-bootable volume

Enabling the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) for out-of-band management

Setting the system profile to Performance for maximum CPU frequency

Configuring the boot mode to UEFI and setting the boot order to prioritize the cluster boot device

A company is deploying a Dell PowerEdge XE cluster with two nodes for a critical application. The cluster must be able to continue operating if one node fails. The administrator has configured the cluster with a majority-based quorum. What additional configuration is needed to ensure the cluster can survive a single node failure?

Disable quorum on the cluster to allow operation with one node.

Add a witness node to provide an additional vote.

Configure the cluster to use a single node as the primary and the other as a standby.

Increase the quorum weight of one node to 2.

An administrator is adding a new Dell PowerEdge XE node to an existing cluster. The cluster uses a specific node role for compute services. The administrator has completed the hardware installation and network configuration. What is the next step to assign the compute role to the node?

Install the compute service software and configure the node's role in the cluster management interface.

Set the node's IP address to a static address in the compute VLAN.

Change the node's BIOS settings to enable hyper-threading.

Reboot the node to ensure all settings take effect.

An administrator is setting up a Dell PowerEdge XE node for a cluster that will use iSCSI storage. The node has a dedicated iSCSI HBA. The administrator needs to configure the node to boot from the iSCSI target. What should be done?

Disable the integrated NICs to allow the iSCSI HBA to function.

Enable the iSCSI boot option in the BIOS and configure the target information.

Set the boot mode to Legacy BIOS to support iSCSI boot.

Install the iSCSI initiator software in the operating system and configure the target.
