Question 1Choose one

A financial services company is deploying a new fleet of PowerEdge R860 servers for a mission-critical database application. To comply with strict internal security policies, the Chief Security Officer mandates that no configuration changes can be made to the BIOS, iDRAC, or PERC controller after the initial setup, even by administrators with root privileges, until the policy is explicitly disabled. Which PowerEdge security feature must be enabled to enforce this requirement?

Question 2Choose one

An e-commerce company is designing a three-tier web application architecture using PowerEdge servers. The design requires dedicated servers for web, application, and database layers to ensure separation of concerns and optimized performance. The web servers must handle high inbound traffic, the application servers need significant memory for business logic, and the database servers require high I/O storage. Which combination of PowerEdge server models is best suited for these specific roles? graph TD subgraph Data Center LB[Load Balancer] --> Web_Tier subgraph Web_Tier R_Web1[Web Server 1] R_Web2[Web Server 2] end Web_Tier --> App_Tier subgraph App_Tier R_App1[App Server 1] R_App2[App Server 2] end App_Tier --> DB_Tier subgraph DB_Tier R_DB[Database Server] end end
