Some xSeries servers support 4-way memory interleaving and some support 2-way interleaving. In
both types of interleaving, the data is accessed 256 bits at a time. How is this 256-bit data access
achieved with 2-way interleaving?
2.
Which memory technology combination on the x255 will allow for two memory banks to fail while
maintaining the server?
3.
An x445 can withstand up to two failed memory chips per memory bank. In addition, the customer
requires protection for a third memory chip failure on that bank. Which EXA feature will provide this extra
level of protection?
4.
Which TWO of the following are required to use the hot-swap memory feature of the x445 while being operating system independent?
5.
A customer needs a new database server. The database application has a high memory overhead but
does not benefit from 8-way processing. They would like a rack mountable system, which will support four
Xeon processors with 512KB of L2 cache and 16GB of main system memory. Which of the following will
satisfy the customer's requirements?
6.
Due to the pricing of MP processors, a customer is evaluating DP processors. They have current
budget constraints and do not want to discard obsolete hardware after a scaling step. It is calculated that
two processors will meet their immediate needs. Their projected growth indicates they will need more
than four processors. Which of the following recommendations will provide the best path for growth at the
lowest cost?
7.
Which of the following statements applies to the x445 memory subsystem?
8.
Which of the following is a function of the XceL4 Cache?
9.
A FastT Host FC-2 bus adapter, a U320 SCSI adapter, and three 10/100Mb Ethernet adapters have to
be installed as optimally as possible. This is going to be a 24X7 system. The addition of extra PCI-cards
is a major consideration as well. Based on the following, what is the best configuration?
Slot 1 66MHz Bus 1
Slot 2 66MHz Bus 1
Slot 3 100MHz Bus 2
Slot 4 100Mhz Bus 2
Slot 5 133Mhz Bus 3
Slot 6 133Mhz Bus 3
10.
A customer's server is experiencing slow application response due to lack of processor power. In
which one of the following systems would the addition of the Expand On Demand processor upgrade
feature benefit future expansion?
