SK0-003 · Question #268
Which of the following expansion cards should be installed into a server to provide fiber channel SAN connectivity?
The correct answer is A. HBA. To connect a server to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is the necessary expansion card. HBAs are specifically designed for high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices over a Fibre Channel network.

Why each option
To connect a server to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is the necessary expansion card. HBAs are specifically designed for high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices over a Fibre Channel network.
An HBA (Host Bus Adapter) is an expansion card that connects a host system (like a server) to a storage network, such as a Fibre Channel SAN, by translating data between the server's internal bus and the Fibre Channel protocol.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a common interface for connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, and external drives, but it is not used for high-performance Fibre Channel SAN connectivity.
UAC (User Account Control) is a security feature in Windows operating systems and is not an expansion card or a hardware component.
A NIC (Network Interface Card) connects a server to an Ethernet-based local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) for general network communication, but it does not provide Fibre Channel connectivity for a SAN.
