CompTIA CompTIA Certifications 220-1101 Questions & Answers

• Question 491:

  Several users who share a multifunction printer in an office have reported unintended, thin, vertical lines that cover the entire height of every page printed from the printer.

  Which of the following steps should a technician complete in order to MOST likely resolve this issue?

  A. Replace the printer paper with a new ream.

  B. Clear the print spooler on each computer.

  C. Reinstall the printer driver on each computer

  D. Perform the drum-cleaning procedure.

  Correct Answer: D

  Thin, vertical lines on every printed page are usually caused by a dirty drum or toner cartridge. Performing the drum-cleaning procedure will likely resolve the issue. References: CompTIA A+ Certification uide, Ninth Edition, Chapter 18

• Question 492:

  Which of the following technologies can allow multiple networks to traverse a switch?

  A. VLAN

  B. VRRP

  C. VPN

  D. DHCP

  Correct Answer: A

  The technology that allows multiple networks to traverse a switch is VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) which is a logical grouping of devices on the same network regardless of their physical location12.

  Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology can allow multiple networks to traverse a switch. A VLAN is a logical network created within a physical network that can separate traffic and allow multiple networks to coexist on the same

  physical network infrastructure. VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), VPN (Virtual Private Network), and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) do not allow multiple networks to traverse a switch. References: CompTIA A+

• Question 493:

  A laptop PC user is reporting issues with the hard drive. A filesystem check shows that all files are accessible and the filesystem is clean. After the check, the PC still issues a hard drive error message. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the error?

  A. S.M.A.R.T failure

  B. IOPS failure

  C. DIMM failure

  D. RAID failure

  Correct Answer: A

  If the filesystem check shows that all files are accessible and the filesystem is clean, but a hard drive error message persists, it's possible that the hard drive is experiencing S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) failure. This is a warning system built into hard drives to alert users of potential issues before they become critical.

• Question 494:

  A company has a dot matrix printer that uses carbon paper. The company reports that the first page is printing too light, although the following pages are still legible. Which of the following MOST likely needs to be fixed?

  A. The print drum is worn and loose causing the printing to be light in places

  B. The ribbon is low on ink or missing and must be replaced to get proper output

  C. The heating element has failed, and a new one needs to be installed for proper transfer

  D. The wrong type of filement is loaded, preventing it from sticking correctly

  E. The fuser assembly is not calibrated properly, causing it to impact the paper too hard

  Correct Answer: B

  Dot Matrix printers do not use heat, they use a pin striking an inked ribbon (for the first copy, the subsequent copies are handled by the carbon paper) The ribbon is low on ink or missing and must be replaced to get proper output in a dot matrix printer that uses carbon paper.

• Question 495:

  A technician is upgrading a legacy wireless router for a home user. After installing the new router and configuring the SSID to be the same, none of the devices will connect to the network. Which of the following should the technician check NEXT?

  A. OHCP pool configuration

  B. MAC filtering list

  C. Wireless protocol settings

  D. ONS servers

  Correct Answer: B

  The technician should check the MAC filtering list next as the new router may have a different MAC address than the old router. References: CompTIA A+ Certification uide, Exam 220-1001, Page 332

• Question 496:

  An organization is looking to upgrade the processing ability for its computers. Most users report that whenever multiple applications are being utilized, the system's response time slows down drastically. When only one application is open, the response time is acceptable. Which of the following should be upgraded FIRST?

  A. SSD

  B. CPU

  C. HDD

  D. RAM

  Correct Answer: D

  'Upgrading to a faster CPU will improve your PC's single-application performance, making games run more smoothly, for example. Adding more RAM to your PC increases its multitasking capacity, but won't necessarily improve its single-application performance'

• Question 497:

  DRAG DROP

  A natural disaster occurred, and the storage system for the development team is unrecoverable. The technician is preparing replacement storage arrays that include a hypervisor with the capacity to support several virtual machines. Two separate bays are available, and both should be utilized.

  Requirements for the primary array include the following:

  1.

  No need to be scalable

  2.

  Very fast on reads

  3.

  Fault tolerance of one drive

  4.

  Ability to function with only one drive

  5.

  Easily recoverable data

  6.

  High redundancy

  7.

  Minimum number of drives

  Requirements for the secondary array include the following:

  1.

  Fault tolerance of one drive

  2.

  Total space of 600G3

  3.

  Best write performance

  4.

  Minimum number of drives

  Instructions:

  Drag and Drop the appropriate Hard Drives. Then Open each array to complete the configuration.

  Select and Place:

  

  Correct Answer:

  

  Primary Array:

  Drag and drop two 120 GB SSD hard drives to the primary array bay. Open the primary array and select RAID 1 as the RAID level. RAID 1 provides fault tolerance of one drive, ability to function with only one drive, easily recoverable data,

  high redundancy, and very fast on reads. It also does not need to be scalable and uses the minimum number of drives (two) for RAID 1. Confirm the configuration and close the primary array.

  Secondary Array:

  Drag and drop two 300 GB SSD hard drives to the secondary array bay. Open the secondary array and select RAID 0 as the RAID level. RAID 0 provides the best write performance and uses the minimum number of drives (two) for RAID

  0. It also provides a total space of 600 GB (300 GB x 2), which meets the requirement.

  Confirm the configuration and close the secondary array. You have completed the configuration of the storage arrays.

• Question 498:

• Question 499:

  DRAG DROP

  You would like to build a PC for storage redundancy. Select the appropriate IDE drives and build the PC for MAXIMUM performance, while using the MINIMUM amount of drives. Instructions: Drives can be reused, but bays are only used once. Select the done button to submit your response.
