SK0-003 · Question #425
Which of the following expansion cards should be installed into a server to provide iSCSI SAN connectivity?
The correct answer is D. NIC. To provide iSCSI SAN connectivity, a server requires a network interface card (NIC) to communicate over the standard Ethernet network, as iSCSI leverages existing IP infrastructure for block-level storage access.

Why each option
To provide iSCSI SAN connectivity, a server requires a network interface card (NIC) to communicate over the standard Ethernet network, as iSCSI leverages existing IP infrastructure for block-level storage access.
An HBA (Host Bus Adapter) is typically used for Fibre Channel SAN connectivity, which uses a specialized fabric, not iSCSI over standard Ethernet.
A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a telephone system used for internal and external voice communication, unrelated to storage connectivity.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology for making voice calls over IP networks, unrelated to storage connectivity.
A Network Interface Card (NIC) is the appropriate expansion card for iSCSI SAN connectivity because iSCSI (internet Small Computer System Interface) operates over standard Ethernet networks using TCP/IP. An iSCSI initiator on the server uses the NIC to send and receive iSCSI commands and data to and from an iSCSI target (the SAN storage).
