A customer is installing a new HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10. During the first boot, the server halts with a POST error message related to the processor.
Which tool is the *only* way to view the detailed POST error message if the administrator cannot attach a monitor (KVM) to the server?
- A . The HPE Systems Insight Display (SID)
- B . The HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA)
- C . The HPE iLO 5 web interface or remote console
- D . The server’s front panel UID light
A Storage Administrator is troubleshooting a server with a healthy Smart Storage Battery, but users report poor write performance.
Server Design:
– Controller: HPE Smart Array P408i-a
– Logical Drive: RAID 10 (4 x 4TB SAS HDDs)
Advanced Configuration (via SSA):
– Write Cache Policy: Write Through
What is the cause of the poor write performance?
- A . The P408i-a controller is not compatible with 4TB SAS HDDs.
- B . The RAID 10 configuration has a high write penalty.
- C . The "Write Through" policy is enabled, which bypasses the controller’s high-speed cache for writes.
- D . The Smart Storage Battery is not charged.

A server’s IML shows a "POST Error: 1611 – Fan Solution Not Sufficient." The Health LED is flashing amber. All 6 fans are installed and spinning.
What is the most likely cause of this issue, and what is the action plan?
- A . The server’s power supplies are too small. The action plan is to install higher-wattage power supplies.
- B . The server is in a high-ambient-temperature environment. The action plan is to cool the data center.
- C . One or more of the installed fans are not the correct, supported "High Performance" fan models required for this server’s configuration (e.g., dual high-wattage CPUs). The action plan is to replace the standard fans with the correct High Performance fans.
- D . The iLO firmware is corrupt. The action plan is to re-flash the iLO firmware.
A system administrator is configuring an HPE ProLiant server with HPE Persistent Memory (NVDIMMs). The administrator needs to configure the NVDIMMs to provide the *fastest possible* storage (block mode) for an application.
Which "Goal" should the administrator select in the "Persistent Memory Configuration" utility within the System Utilities (F9)?
- A . "Auto" Goal
- B . "Memory Mode" Goal
- C . "Volatile" Goal
- D . "App Direct" Goal

A Storage Administrator is adding a new, non-HPE (third-party) SATA SSD to an HPE ProLiant Gen10 server with a Smart Array controller. After installation, iLO reports a "Degraded" status, and the controller’s write cache is disabled for the array.
What is the most likely reason for this, based on compatibility validation?
- A . The Smart Array firmware checks the drive and, finding it is *not* an HPE-validated drive (lacks HPE firmware), disables the write cache as a precaution.
- B . The Smart Array controller only supports SAS drives, not SATA.
- C . The SATA SSD must be installed in a specific "SATA-only" bay.
- D . The Smart Storage Battery has failed.

A system administrator is performing an advanced configuration of an HPE ProLiant server’s BIOS/UEFI (F9) settings. The server will be used for a database that requires the *maximum possible memory speed*.
Which of the following settings must the administrator configure to achieve this? (Select all that apply.)
- A . Set "XMP Profile" to "Enabled" (if supported by DIMMs).
- B . Set "Minimum Processor Idle C-State" to "No C-States".
- C . Set "Memory Frequency" to "Maximum".
- D . Set "Power Regulator" to "Static High Performance".
- E . Set "Workload Profile" to "Low Latency".
