A technician is replacing the power supply in a computer. Which of the following safety measures should the technician take to protect the computer?
When replacing a power supply in a computer, wearing an antistatic wrist strap is crucial to prevent static electricity from damaging the computer components. Static electricity can easily damage sensitive electronic components within the computer; therefore, using an antistatic wrist strap helps to ground the technician, mitigating the risk of electrostatic discharge. The other options provide general safety but do not address the primary concern of electrostatic discharge in this context.
Reference: CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) objectives covering best practices for hardware maintenance, including electrostatic discharge prevention.
Which of the following scenarios best illustrate a need for VDI? (Select two).
VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) allows users to access a desktop environment that is running on a server in the data center rather than on the local machine. This is particularly useful for employees who need to work remotely on various devices (A), as it provides a consistent and secure environment regardless of the endpoint device. For a bank with security concerns regarding employee activity (D), VDI offers a centralized management of desktops, enhancing security by keeping sensitive data and applications within the data center and not on the local devices, thus reducing the risk of data breaches.

A technician is setting up a new workstation at a customer's office. The office network has one public IP address and utilizes NAT for the internal network. In addition, DHCP is not used, so
all IP addresses are manually provisioned. Which of the following IP addresses should the technician assign to the workstation?
The IP address 192.168.1.56 is within the private IP address range (192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255) and is appropriate for use in an internal network utilizing NAT (Network Address Translation). The other IP addresses provided (172.15.65.10, 175.16.20.3, and 193.167.35.4) are either public IP addresses or not in the private IP range suitable for an internal network using NAT.
A technician receives a call from a user about a new USB 3.1 docking station. The user claims that their laptop does not charge when connected to the dock. The user confirms that the AC adapter for the dock is plugged in. Which of the following is the most likely cause?
If a laptop does not charge when connected to a USB 3.1 docking station despite the AC adapter being plugged in, the most likely reason is that the dock is not designed to provide power passthrough. This means that the dock's primary function is connectivity for peripherals rather than power delivery to the laptop. The other options are possible but less likely if the sole issue is the absence of charging functionality when the dock and its power supply are properly connected.
