After installing a new file server, a technician notices the read times for accessing the same file are slower than the read times for other file servers. Which of the following is the first step…

Question

Options

• AAdd more memory.
• BCheck if the cache is turned on.
• CInstall faster hard drives.
• DEnable link aggregation.

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  70% (19)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  19% (5)

Explanation

The cache is a temporary storage area that holds frequently accessed data or instructions for faster retrieval. The cache can improve the read times for accessing files by reducing the need to access the hard drive, which is slower than the cache memory. Therefore, the first step the technician should take is to check if the cache is turned on for the new file server. If the cache is turned off, the technician should enable it and see if the read times improve. The other options are incorrect because they are not the first steps to take. Adding more memory, installing faster hard drives, or enabling link aggregation are possible ways to improve the performance of the file server, but they are more costly and time-consuming than checking the cache. Moreover, they may not address the root cause of the problem if the cache is turned off.
