Which of the following is the SAFEST way to replace RAM on a server that has a redundant power supply?
The correct answer is C. Utilize a grounding strap. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the primary danger when handling RAM and other sensitive components. An anti-static grounding strap worn on the wrist bonds the technician to ground, safely dissipating any static charge before it can damage components. Unplugging one power cable

Explanation
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the primary danger when handling RAM and other sensitive components. An anti-static grounding strap worn on the wrist bonds the technician to ground, safely dissipating any static charge before it can damage components. Unplugging one power cable (A) does not power down the server - redundant PSUs keep it running. Verifying RAM temperature (B) is a diagnostic step, not a safety measure. Replacing RAM while the server is running (D) is dangerous and generally not supported unless the server explicitly supports hot-swap RAM.
