You are troubleshooting a POST error on a HPE ProLiant rack-mount server. HPE support has directed you to test a minimum hardware configuration.
Which components should you remove? (Choose two.)
A. CMOS battery
B. all cooling fans
C. all expansion boards
D. all external storage media
E. redundant processors
There are no redundant processors. The answer is CD
When requested to break the server down to the minimum configuration, uninstall the following components, if installed:
All additional cooling fans, if applicable.
For the minimum fan configuration, see the server user guide.
All additional power supplies, if applicable (Leave one installed).
All hard drives and solid state drives
All optical drives (DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, and so forth)
All optional mezzanine cards
All expansion boards
Before removing the components, be sure to determine the minimum configuration for each componentand follow all guidelines in the server user guide.
Always use the recommended minimum configuration above before removing any processors or DIMMs. If unable to isolate the issue with the configuration above, then remove all but one of the processors and the minimum number of associated DIMMs for the processor as directed by the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center.
