CHAPTER 2—PLANNING FOR SERVER HARDWARE

TRUE/FALSE

1 In the past, requirements for Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation have been very similar, but this is not the case with Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Workstation

2 Windows 2000 Professional includes many more service options and more robust connectivity, which means it requires more resources than Windows 2000 Server does

3 In accordance with the minimum hardware requirements to install Windows 2000 Professional on Intel and RISC-based computers, a Pentium 166 MHz (or faster) processor is required

4 Your first stop in selecting hardware for Windows 2000 Server should be to check Microsoft's hardware compatibility list

5 A low clock speed helps ensure the CPU does not become bottlenecked with more processing requests that it can handle

6 Windows 2000 uses Pentium-enabled features such as multithreading and multitasking

7 The L1 cache built into the Pentium Pro chip is either 256 KB, 512 KB, or 1 MB, with 512 KB as the most common implementation

8 The L2 caching architecture in the Pentium II and Pentium III is faster the Pentium Pro, but more

expensive

9 Symmetric multiprocessor computers have two, three, four, eight, or more processors to share the processing load

10 Clustered computers are linked together by two elements: the operating system and high-speed links between the computers

11 Windows 2000 Server is a 64-bit operating system

12 Modern servers contain primarily MCA buses for fast transport of information via heavily used

components such as disk drives and NICs

13 The purpose of intelligent input/output is to increase the speed of operations involving peripherals, while reducing the need for the main processor to handle I/O processes

14 The OS Services Module is software located on the peripheral controller or adapter that operates

independently of the operating system

15 Automatic configuration is the ability to automatically detect and configure new hardware devices

16 Plug and Play must be enabled in the computer's BIOS

17 Plug and Play was lacking in the previous versions of Windows NT

18 Firmware is software that is stored on a chip

ANS: PTS: 1 REF:

19 Full duplex is the capacity to send and receive simultaneously

20 An inexpensive way to boost server performance is to install extra RAM

21 Disk contention can be increased through the design of the server disk storage

22 ESDI disk controllers provide above average data transfer rates

23 It is important to make sure each device connected to the interface has a unique address

24 Computers designed as servers generally come equipped with SCSI-1 adapters or higher

25 The SCSI interface plugs into one of the computer's open expansion slots on the main board

26 When you configure a server, be cautious about placing too much demand on access to hard disk storage

27 One method to significantly increase performance on a server is to purchase two or more hard disk drives and divide the flow between two or more data pathways by placing the drives on a single adapter

28 With disk mirroring, there is one drive for each disk volume of data

29 Figure 2-8 illustrates an example of disk mirroring

30 Another approach to disk redundancy is the use of a redundant array of inexpensive (or independent) disks

31 RAID level 2 uses disk striping and stores error-correcting information, but the information is only written to one disk in the array

32 Recovery from a failed disk provides roughly the same guarantee as with disk mirroring, but takes longer with RAID level 5

ANS: PTS: 1 REF:

33 Windows 2000 Server supports only RAID levels 1 and 5 for disk fault tolerance

34 RAID fault-tolerance methods are not supported in Windows 2000 Datacenter

35 The boot and system files can be placed on RAID level 1, but not on RAID level 5

36 The disk storage fault tolerance-method you use depends on factors such as budget constraints

37 Byte for byte, Zip disk backup is usually the least expensive and most convenient way to back up an entire server

38 If hard disks also are on the same adapter as the tape drive, for example, server access to the disks may

be slowed due to the high traffic through that adapter during backups

39 One way to implement CD-ROM access is to purchase a CD-ROM "jukebox" or server that can be connected to the Windows 2000 server by using a SCSI adapter or Fibre Channel

40 Windows NT 4.0 does not support Digital Video Discs, but Windows 2000 does

ESSAY

1 Why is a high clock speed recommended?

ANS:

A high clock speed is recommended because it increases the speed at which the computer can

internally transfer data, such as between the CPU and a disk or tape drive

2 What are some basic rules that apply to estimating the amount of RAM needed on a server?

ANS:

Estimating the amount of RAM is not an exact science, but some basic rules still apply

* First, start at the minimum amount of memory needed for the operating system kernel (64MB) * Next, determine the number of people who will be accessing the system

3 What are two important advantages of Fibre Channel in a server?

ANS:

Two important advantages of Fibre Channel in a server are that:

* It is fast (from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps)

* It enables peripherals to be attached further away (up to 10 kilometers) than other peripheral

connection methods
