The degraded status on Server 2 indicates a RAID-5 issue, typically due to a failed or failing drive. In RAID-5 configurations, when one drive fails, the system can still operate but with reduced performance as parity data is used to rebuild missing data on-the-fly.

Recommended Replacement Drive:

To minimize performance degradation, the replacement drive should be:

SAS HDD with the same specifications (64KB stripe size, no read-ahead, and write-back policy).

Matching the configuration exactly ensures seamless integration and optimizes recovery speed in the RAID-5 array.

In RAID-5, degraded performance is expected when one drive fails, as parity data needs to rebuild missing information during each read/write process. Replacing the failed drive restores the RAID array to optimal status, reducing the load on existing drives and returning the system to normal read/write performance. The write-back policy and disabled disk cache settings are designed to reduce latency and increase efficiency, essential for handling real-time applications.

A user reports poor performance on the

application server.

Badging refers to the use of NFC-enabled ID badges or cards that authenticate users when tapped against a reader for secure print or access control.

From CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Official Study Guide, Objective 3.4 – Secure printing and authentication:

“NFC authentication is commonly implemented using employee badges, allowing secure and convenient access to devices and functions.”

When a laser printer intermittently fails to feed paper, the most common hardware cause is worn or dirty pickup rollers. These rollers grab the paper from the tray and move it into the printer. Over time, dust, paper debris, or worn rubber reduces their effectiveness, causing feeding issues.

From the CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Official Study Guide, Objective 4.3 – Troubleshoot printing problems:

“If the printer is not picking up paper correctly or is experiencing paper jams, check and clean or replace the pickup rollers and separation pads as these are responsible for feeding paper into the print path.”

Other options like updating drivers, selecting paper size, or replacing toner will not resolve a mechanical paper feed problem.

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology can turn off individual pixels completely, producing “true black” and resulting in the highest contrast ratios compared to other display types.

From CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Official Study Guide, Objective 3.1 – Display types and features:

“OLED displays provide superior contrast by emitting light per pixel, allowing perfect black and extremely high contrast ratios.”

Assigning a static IP to network printers ensures the printer's address does not change after outages or DHCP lease expirations, preventing connectivity issues.

From CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Official Study Guide, Objective 3.4 – Printer network configuration:

“Printers should use static IPs to ensure they remain reachable and do not change addresses after network events.”
