Selected Answer: C
Before performing any hardware changes, including swapping out a GPU card, the first and most critical step is to shut down the server to prevent damage to the hardware and ensure safety. This protects the server's components from electrical surges and avoids potential data loss or corruption.

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.

I guess since it says he is swapping and not that he is preparing to swap it we're suppose too assume he already checked HCL

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.

Selected Answer: B
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
