Answers and Explanations

1 Can you use a non-ATA cable on an ATA device?
b No, you must use an ATA cable with an ATA device. Using a non-ATA
cable can give unpredictable results and can lead to data loss.
2 During the flashing of the BIOS, there is a power failure. How can the
system be recovered?
b Use the Crisis Recovery process, as described in this Familiarization
Guide, to restore the contents of the corrupted EEPROM.
3 After changing the order of the IDE hard disk drive on the IDE cable,
nothing is changed in the Boot/Hard disk drive list. Can you explain why?
c The boot order is not determined by the physical location of the IDE
hard disk on the IDE cable. This is possible because the BIOS and the
IDE controller are able to recognize the original boot disk.
4 What must be verified before you change the system board?
a Verify that the latest driver versions are installed.
b Check that the latest BIOS has been flashed.
c Ensure that the problem isn't described in the product bug-list.
d You are electrostatically grounded.
You must check all four!
5 The client has installed a third party, 3-pin HP-qualified network board
which supports RPO/RWU (also known as Wake On LAN), in the PC. To
which connector in the PC should the client connect the RPO/RWU (Wake
On LAN) cable?
b Connect the RPO/RWU(Wake On LAN) cable to the Wake On LAN
connector on the backplane.
If the network board is a 10-pin, HP network card, it must be plugged
into the RPO connector on the backplane.
The PCI WakeUp connector on the system board is already connected to
the backplane. It should not be directly connected to a network board.
6 How can the order of devices from which the PC attempts to boot from be
configured?
