CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question

A virtual-hosted Dell PowerEdge R650 suddenly lost all external network connectivity. The hypervisor's iDRAC log recorded event code DIAG8171: "PCIe - PCI device in physical Slot 4 is present but not responding." The quad-port 25 GbE NIC installed in that slot is no longer visible to the operating system. The change-control policy allows a 15-minute outage to restore service. Which action is most likely to bring the NIC back online within the approved window?

  • Power down the host, firmly reseat the NIC in Slot 4, then reboot the server.

  • Replace the current riser with one that supports full-height PCIe cards.

  • Flash the latest BIOS, iDRAC, and NIC firmware before the next boot.

  • Disable SR-IOV for the NIC in system BIOS and restart the hypervisor.
