Topic 2: Exam Pool B
A technician is installing new power supplies for the application engineering team's workstations. The management team has not yet made a decision about installing dual graphics cards, but they want to proceed with the project anyway. Which of the following power supplies would provide the BEST solution?
A. 1000W 24-pin modular power supply
B. 220VAC 9000J surge protector
C. 500W redundant power supply
D. 2000VA uninterruptible power supply
Explanation: A 1000W 24-pin modular power supply provides enough power to support a dual graphics card configuration, which requires a significant amount of power. A modular power supply allows the technician to connect only the cables that are necessary for the current configuration, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow inside the case. This makes it easier to install and maintain the power supply.
A technician needs to verify that a newly installed RJ45 was correctly terminated. Which of the following should the technician use?
A. Wi-Fi analyzer
B. Network tap
C. Loopback plug
D. Toner probe
E. Punchdown tool
Explanation: A loopback plug allows a technician to verify that the cable functions as expected by looping the signal back for testing. While a punchdown tool installs cables in a panel, it does not test functionality, and Wi-Fi analyzers and toner probes serve other network diagnostics. This is in line with CompTIA A+ Core 1 objectives for validating cable installation and connectivity.
A user's smartphone repeatedly loses the connection to a home Wi-Fi network. The user has already tried restarting the smartphone, rebooting the router, and resetting the smartphone's Wi-Fi network settings. Which of the following should the user do next to resolve the issue?
A. Replace the router.
B. Update the smartphone's OS.
C. Switch the router to 5GHz.
D. Check the range of the router.
Explanation: If a smartphone repeatedly loses connection to a home Wi-Fi network and the common troubleshooting steps like restarting the device, rebooting the router, and resetting the Wi-Fi settings have not resolved the issue, updating the smartphone's operating system (OS) could be the next logical step. OS updates often include fixes for known bugs and improvements in connectivity and compatibility with network hardware, which could resolve persistent connection issues.
A startup company is outgrowing its current office space and is requiring employees to work remotely. The company must comply with government-enforced requirements to safeguard all aspects of data, so the IT department plans to maintain complete control over users' operating systems. Which of the following should the IT department implement?
A. VDI
B. laaS
C. VPN
D. SaaS
Explanation: The IT department should implement VDI. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that allows users to access a desktop operating system from a remote location. VDI provides complete control over users’ operating systems, which is important for safeguarding data. VDI also provides a secure way to access data from remote locations, which is important for compliance with government-enforced requirements1.
A technician wants to monitor network statistics for devices communicating with one another on the local subnet Which of the following devices should the technician install.
A. Managed switch
B. Router
C. Access point

Each lime a user ties to print, the paper becomes stuck at the last stage of the print job and the user has to poll me paper out of the printer. Which of the following is me most likely cause?
A. Rollers
B. Tray assembly
C. Toner
D. Printhead
Explanation: If paper gets stuck at the last stage of printing, the rollers responsible for moving the paper through the printer are likely worn out or dirty.
✑ Why Not B (Tray assembly): The tray assembly manages paper loading, not
feeding during the print process.
✑ Why Not C (Toner): Toner is unrelated to paper jams.
✑ Why Not D (Printhead): Printheads manage ink/toner distribution, not paper movement.
CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 2 (220-1102), Section 4.6, printer troubleshooting.
A salesperson is unable to use a personal device to access emails and calendar features at a client site but was able to use the device while at the office. Which of the following policies has been enforced on the salesperson's mobile device?
A. MOW
B. MAN
C. MFA
D. MAM
Explanation: Mobile Application Management (MAM) enforces policies restricting access to apps and services based on location, ensuring security at external sites.
✑ Why Not A (MOW): "Mobile Only Workplace" (MOW) is not a recognized term in
this context.
✑ Why Not B (MAN): Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is unrelated to mobile device policies.
✑ Why Not C (MFA): Multi-Factor Authentication secures user accounts but does not enforce app restrictions.
CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 2 (220-1102), Section 2.7, mobile device security policies.
A technician needs to assign an IP address to a Windows PC, but a network connection is unavailable. Which of the following tools would be best for the technician to use?
A. DHCP
B. TFTP
C. APIPA
D. DNS
A user is unable to connect to network resources. A technician discovers that the user's device has an invalid static IP v dress. Which of the following should the technician configure on the user's device to request an IP address?
A. SSH
B. FTP
C. DHCP
D. DNS
Explanation: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, resolving the issue of an invalid static IP address. Configuring the device to use DHCP allows it to request and receive a valid IP address automatically.
✑ Why Not A (SSH): Secure Shell (SSH) is used for secure remote access, not IP
address assignment.
✑ Why Not B (FTP): File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for file transfers, not network configuration.
✑ Why Not D (DNS): DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses but doesn’t assign IP addresses.
CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 1 (220-1101), Section 2.5, basic networking.
