A help desk technician plugged in a user's new computer to a network port After a few minutes the computer showed an APIPA address. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason this happened?
Explanation:
The most likely reason for a computer showing an APIPA address after being plugged into a network port is that the PC is unable to contact a DHCP server1. Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a DHCP fail-safe that protects a computer system from failure. It invokes a standby mechanism for local Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) networks supported by Microsoft Windows. With APIPA, DHCP clients can obtain IP addresses even when DHCP servers are not functional1. The other options are less likely to be the cause of the issue1.

Explanation:
The technician should ensure the input connections to the screen are secure1. The screen may not be receiving the signal from the device outputting the data if the input connections are not secure1. Swapping cables with a screen that works is not likely to be the correct option1

A technician who works in a high-security environment needs to set up a laptop with triple monitors for a new security employee. All USB ports are disabled due to security policies. Which of the
following should the technician do to BEST meet the requirements?
Explanation:
This is because a docking station can connect multiple monitors to a laptop without using USB ports, which are disabled in this scenario. A splitter cable would only allow two monitors to be connected,
not three. A discrete graphics card would require opening the laptop and installing hardware, which may not be feasible or allowed in a high-security environment. An HDMI switch would only allow one
monitor to be active at a time, not all three simultaneously.

A user reports that a printer is leaving streaks on printed pages. The paper type and the toner have been replaced. Which of the following should the technician check NEXT to resolve the issue?
Explanation:
This is because the fuser is the part of the printer that heats and melts the toner onto the paper. If the fuser is defective or dirty, it can cause streaks or smudges on printed pages. The system board
and the memory are not related to the quality of the print output. The paper tray may cause paper jams or misfeeds, but not streaks on the paper.
Question 230
![Export Export](https://examgecko.com/assets/images/icon-download-24.png)
Which of the following video cables can carry an audio signal?
Explanation:
This is because HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital video cable that can also carry audio signals1. HDMI cables are commonly used to connect devices like Blu-ray players, game
consoles, and streaming boxes to HDTVs and monitors. The other options are not capable of carrying audio signals. VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog video cable that only carries RGBHV
signals12. S-Video (Super Video) is another analog video cable that carries separate luminance and chrominance signals1. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a digital video cable that can carry either
analog or digital signals, but not audio1.
