1. Which of the following is an advantage of getting a device with a pre-installed NOS or OS?
*It is optimized for the particular hardware installed.
It compounds the need for a complex installation process.
It does not support custom and legacy applications.
It completes configuration of server-specific features.

2. Which task should be performed before installing a NOS?
Change the system hardware and peripherals before beginning.
*Verify that the NOS supports all application software that will run on the server.
Run the evaluator software prior to loading to establish hardware settings.
Be familiar with the NOS so configuration questions can be ignored.

3. Most NOSs will only run on certain hardware configurations. There are typically 4 key elements of the system's hardware that must meet the minimum requirements of the NOS. Choose the list that contains these elements.

1. CPU speed, RAM, NIC, hard disk space.
2. CPU type, CPU speed, RAM, hard disk space.
3. CPU type, RAM, NIC, CD ROM drive.
4. CPU type, RAM, CPU speed, CD ROM drive.

4. What is the best source of information for the latest hardware compatibility list?
*the World Wide Web
a hardware manual
a software manual
the CD-ROM Read Me document

5. Which Windows utility can be used to perform a hardware inventory?
Administrative Tools
ScanDisk
Windows Explorer
*Device Manager

6. The ping command is used to test network connectivity. What is the best IP address to ping for this test?
the DNS address
the loopback address
the local NIC address
*the default gateway address

7. When preparing for a CD-ROM based NOS installation, which BIOS setting is important to the system administrator?
Boot Up Floppy Seek: Enabled
Swap Floppy Drive: Disabled
*Boot Sequence: CD-ROM, C
Quick Power On Self Test: Enabled

8. All of the following are functions of an installation program except:
*ensure interoperability of components
request user input for configuration information
provide a default set of configuration options
simplify the installation process

9. What are logical divisions on a hard disk called?
*partitions
sectors
divisions
cylinders

10. How is the root partition identified in Linux?
?
Root
/root
*/

11. When setting up a hard disk, what are the three possible types of partitions?
primary, secondary, and logical
*primary, logical, and extended
C, D, and E
boot, program, and data

12. In Windows 9x and Linux, why is it important to keep a startup floppy containing the MBR?
The startup floppy disk with the MBR must be used to boot from multiple partitions.
*The floppy disk can be used to boot the system if the MBR on the first sector of the hard disk is corrupt.
The MBR on the floppy keeps an error log for troubleshooting purposes.
The startup floppy disk with MBR defines the size of partitions on startup.
