The BIOS needs to be updated

D.

The BIOS needs to be updated

Answers
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.

Answers
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

RAID 5 offers both disk redundancy and maximum usable disk capacity by using block-level striping with parity. RAID 5 allows one drive to fail while still retaining data, and it uses only one disk's worth of space for parity, maximizing the usable capacity.

RAID 5 (Answer C): Provides redundancy with only one disk's space used for parity, maximizing storage.

RAID 0 (Option A): Provides no redundancy; if one drive fails, all data is lost.

RAID 1 (Option B): Mirrors data, so redundancy is provided, but only half the capacity is usable.

RAID 10 (Option D): Combines RAID 1 and 0 for high performance and redundancy but requires half the disk space for mirroring.
