33. Jorge is configuring a RAID 10 with 4 drives. One HDD of 1TB, Two HDD of 2TB and one SSD of
256MB. How much will be the storage capacity of the volume?
A) 256GB
B) 512GB
C) 256MB
D) 2TB
34. A customer contacted today saying that he would like to configure a RAID 1 with 2 drives, however,
this array will be located on a server located under the water in a capsule so in case of a drive failure
he won’t be able to change the drive. He mentioned that the server has an extra drive that will not
be used. What would you recommend to the customer?
A) Advise the customer there is nothing he can do and that is not recommended to have the server
under water.
B) Advise the customer to hire people that can go under water and replace the drive, in case is
needed.
C) Advise the customer to set the extra drive as a hot-spare drive so in case one of the drives of the
array fails the hot-spare drive can take the place of the faulty drive.

Part 4. Short answer. Complete the blank spaces with the requested information. 34 points.
1) Which is the difference between the CPU cores and threads? 2pts
The difference is that CPU core has the task of processing, reading or “digesting” the instructions, while
the threads handle and transfer the specific task and determine how many task the CPU can handle
Is a technology used by some Intel processors to handle more than one line of command; which allows
the CPU core to act like two CPU cores; every core can have up to two threads, which allows a faster and
more efficient execution for larger amounts of work.
6) What does DDR stand for and how many versions can we find? 2pts
DDR: Dual In-line memory module. And we can find four versions: DDR, DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4
ECC memory can auto-detect memory errors and correct it, NON-ECC is not capable of correcting errors;
and ECC memory is more expensive and is used for high value data like a bank, for example. A non-ecc is
normally used for standard use on home systems and as 2% more advantage on performance
Is a type of non-volatile storage technology that does not require power to retain data. An important
goal of NAND flash development has been to reduce the cost per bit and to increase maximum chip
capacity so that flash memory can compete with magnetic storage devices, such as hard disk drives. We
have Single-Level Cell, Multi-Level Cell, Triple-Level Cell and Quad-Level Cell.
Is a preparatory disk drive that is kept on active standby for use when a disk drive fail.
ISP means Internet Service Provider and is the company able to provide access to the internet
12) Which is the function of an IP address and which versions you can find? 2p.
The main function of an IP address is to assign a numerical identification to a host (or device) within the
internet protocol of a network, and we can find two versions: IPv4 and IPv6
Is to divide the IP address in to main parts: 1) The part that identifies the network. 2)The part that
identifies the host.
It means Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and is used to automatically assign an IP address to the
computers or devices within a network.
16) What does the acronym NAT mean, and which is its function? 2p.
It means Network Address Translation, and its function is to assign a public address within a private
network on the internet
17) What does the acronym DNS mean, and which is its function? 2p.
It means Domain Name System and is a system to convert alphabetical names into IP addresses.
A customer is contacting you saying that he is experiencing overheating issues with his new Intel® Core™
i7-7700k. He mentioned that this is a new build and is the first computer he is building up. He bought all
the pieces from a local computer shop without the supervision of a technician.
What troubleshooting steps or probing questions will you perform to help this customer? Mention at
least 3. 3 points.
The entire system works perfectly with my i3-6100. With the new CPU it doesn't work, no bent pins, I
looked up many troubleshooting options and none worked.
