Course details
Being a good server administrator means that you understand your systems from the ground up both the software and the hardware. Today's server hardware is sophisticated and specialized to support multiple users, applications and processors, as well as provide fault tolerant, highly available services. This course begins the look at server hardware architecture, starting with server system boards, chassis, memory, and the brain of the server the CPU. The course also describes the various types of expansion cards and the supporting architectures and explains when and why you would upgrade and configure your system's firmware. The course maps to CompTIA's Server+ exam, SK0-003, and covers the following exam objectives: 1.4 Explain the importance of a Hardware Compatibility List (HCL); 1.1 Differentiate between system board types, features, components, and their purposes; 1.2 Deploy different chassis types and the appropriate components; 1.3 Differentiate between memory features/types and given a scenario select appropriate memory; 1.5 Differentiate between processor features/types and given a scenario select the appropriate processor; 1.6 Given a scenario, install appropriate expansion cards into a server while taking fault tolerance into consideration; and 1.7 Install, update, and configure appropriate firmware.
