A computer displays an error message indicating there is insufficient storage when installing applications. The user reports slow application load times. Which of the following replacement components would best resolve this issue?
Answer(s): A
An SSD provides both greater usable storage capacity (if you choose a larger drive) and vastly improved read/ write speeds compared to a traditional HDD. This upgrade eliminates the “insufficient storage” error while also delivering much faster application load times. RAM upgrades wouldn’t address disk capacity, and swapping in another HDD wouldn’t significantly improve performance.
A technician is troubleshooting a connectivity issue on a network computer. The technician runs ipconfig in a command prompt and receives the following IP address: 169.254.0.6. Which of the following is most likely the type of IP address being assigned?
Answer(s): C
An IP in the 169.254.x.x range is automatically chosen by the host when it cannot contact a DHCP server, indicating a self-assigned (APIPA) address.
Which of the following storage options would a technician most likely recommend to have large amounts of affordable capacity without concern for read times on a desktop computer?
For bulk, cost-effective storage where performance isn’t critical, a high-capacity, low-speed SATA HDD offers the best price per gigabyte. A 2 TB, 5,400 RPM drive gives ample space affordably, and slower read times aren’t an issue for secondary or archival desktop storage.
Which of the following utilizes specialized ports on a laptop to expand the local connection options?
Answer(s): B
A docking station connects via a proprietary expansion port (or USB-C/Thunderbolt port with special docking support) on a laptop to provide additional video outputs, USB ports, network jacks, and power, extending the laptop’s connectivity while often also charging it.
Which of the following tools would a technician use to connect wires to an RJ45 connector?
A crimper is used to press the RJ45 connector’s pins into the individual Ethernet wires and secure the connector onto the cable.
