Before performing any hardware replacement inside a server, it is essential to first shut down the server. This ensures that the machine is safe to work on and prevents any potential damage to the internal components or data corruption.
Always check HCL before swapping out any component
Hardware must be compatible with HCL (Hardware Compatibility List)
it is definitely B, it does not say that they are swapping out the same video card, they said they are swapping a video card for another one, this could be a newer one that might not be compatible. Make sure it is before shutting down the server and carrying out the task is what you should do FIRST
If technician is swapping exactly the same card in stock, there's no need to check HCL. C for sure.
it doesn't specify if the card is the same. Poorly written on purpose to try to collect more fees for test for a cert that is ultimately worthless and not respected in general by anyone who know anything about IT.
one more idiot question that have 3 possible correct ansvers depending on view. A - I would before install visually inspect any device that goes inside PC or Server B- Before going to actual plan to install new GPU I would check HCL compability C- Of course I would shut down server before opening it or removing from rack and cherry on cake even D is possible as I most probably had to disconect power to move server from the rack.....
D option is only one that I am sure it is wrong as I would shut down server before pulling out power. And just because that D is making mention C I will choose C as my ansver.
it's mention swapping out inside the server .. means cards already installed but need to swap them ,, so no need to check for HCL ,, need to shut down the server
