Which five things should the administrator verify after performing maintenance or replacing a blade server? (Choose five.)
The correct answer is A. blade server status B. hard drive status D. CPU status E. mezzanine card status F. memory DIMM status. After performing maintenance or replacing a blade server, the administrator must verify five hardware component statuses through UCS Manager to confirm the blade is operational. The required checks cover blade, drive, CPU, mezzanine card, and memory DIMM status.

Why each option
After performing maintenance or replacing a blade server, the administrator must verify five hardware component statuses through UCS Manager to confirm the blade is operational. The required checks cover blade, drive, CPU, mezzanine card, and memory DIMM status.
Verifying blade server status in UCS Manager confirms the replacement blade has been discovered, associated with its service profile, and is in an operational state before returning it to production workloads.
Hard drive status must be confirmed to ensure all drives are detected, reporting healthy, and any RAID volumes have either rebuilt or remain in a consistent state after the physical maintenance.
Host OS boot status is an application-layer check performed after hardware verification is complete and is not part of the UCS Manager hardware component post-replacement checklist.
CPU status verification ensures the processor is properly seated and recognized by UCS Manager hardware inventory, as improper reseating during maintenance is a common source of CPU faults.
Mezzanine card status must be confirmed because these cards provide the primary network and storage I/O paths; a misseated mezzanine will cause connectivity failures not always obvious from blade-level status alone.
Memory DIMM status verification ensures all installed DIMMs are detected and passing diagnostics, since physical handling during maintenance frequently causes seating issues that manifest as correctable or uncorrectable memory errors.
Fan and power status are chassis-level health indicators monitored at the chassis scope in UCS Manager and are not part of the individual blade-level post-replacement verification procedure.
