Server Architecture and Roles

A data center technician is diagnosing a server in which multiple hard drives have become unresponsive at the same time.

Which server-component failure is MOST likely to disconnect multiple hard drives simultaneously?

  • A CPU failure
  • B PERC controller failure
  • C Individual hard drive failure
  • D The backplane failure
Explanation

A drive backplane is the common connection point for multiple hot-swappable drives. A backplane failure can therefore disconnect several drives at once.
