An administrator notices a server is offline. Upon checking the console, the administrator discovers the server is stuck at:

Configuring Memory.............

After a reboot, the server still exhibits the same behavior. The administrator is able to log in to the OOB remote management but is unable to log in to the server. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?

A.

A DIMM has failed

Answers
A.

A DIMM has failed

B.

The VRAM is insufficient

Answers
B.

The VRAM is insufficient

C.

The RAID cache has failed

Answers
C.

The RAID cache has failed

D.

The BIOS needs to be updated

Answers
D.

The BIOS needs to be updated

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The error message 'Configuring Memory...' and the fact that the server is stuck at this point strongly suggest that a DIMM (memory module) has failed. Memory issues are commonly diagnosed when servers hang during the memory configuration phase of boot.

DIMM failure (Answer A): When a memory module fails, the server can get stuck at the memory initialization process during boot.

VRAM insufficiency (Option B): VRAM (video memory) issues would typically cause display-related errors, not memory configuration issues.

RAID cache failure (Option C): RAID cache issues would lead to storage errors but not prevent the system from configuring memory.

BIOS update (Option D): While BIOS issues can cause boot failures, the error message suggests a memory-specific issue.
