After completing this course, students will know how to:
- Explain various motherboard buses and describe how clock frequency affects
performance; identify common server processors and various types of memory; and
configure the BIOS and identify common server configuration items.
- Identify basic physical hard disk components, compare physical and logical
drives and describe their functionality, and identify major file systems;
identify characteristics of the IDE interface and configure IDE cabling and
connectors; identify characteristics of the SCSI interface; configure SCSI
cabling and connectors; and become familiar with Fibre Channel technology and
storage area networking, and identify and configure various types of RAID.
- Optimize server placement and diagram server plans; plan the server environment
and physical site readiness; and implement sound physical server security
practices.
- Identify features of server power supply and correctly implement an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS); and plan optimum placement of equipment in
a server rack, configure a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) console, and list tips
for installing equipment in racks. Identify thinnet, shielded twisted-pair,
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and fiber optic cable characteristics, and make
straight-through and crossover cables.
- Prepare for a server upgrade, verify availability of system resources, and
adequately test and pilot the server upgrade; upgrade the processor and memory;
and upgrade the BIOS, power supply, UPS, and adapters.
- Discuss general network operating system (NOS) characteristics and versions,
list NOS hardware requirements, and perform NOS installations and upgrades; and
identify the major NOS characteristics and versions, list hardware
requirements, perform an installation and a proper shutdown of each NOS.
- Identify and understand major network operating system services; discuss other
NOS services such as e-mail, Web, FTP, and fax; and discuss the different ways
that servers run network applications and specify the functions of the server
as a network device, router, and firewall.
- Describe the primary types of hardware used to back up critical data; discuss
the primary types of software used to back up critical data, and the strategies
to their use; describe the need for high server availability/redundancy, and
identify key areas for SNMP monitoring; and determine key server management and
disaster recovery strategies for preserving system uptime.
- Effectively use performance monitoring tools; establish a baseline; and
recognize acceptable and unacceptable performance thresholds, and provide
solutions to performance bottlenecks.
- Utilize sound troubleshooting logic to determine and solve problems, document
problems and solutions, and check for common causes of server failure; utilize
network, connectivity, NOS, and hardware diagnostic tools; troubleshoot from a
remote location; recognize and solve boot, virus, and hardware problems; and
locate help from vendors and peers.
